To be honest, £800 for a suede jacket doesn't seem that bad.
And really I'd get far more use from it that £2,000 of Tom Ford kit that made me look like a snow commando in depth of snow we just don't get, and the accessories that go with 'em.

Just came across this nice double breast pinstripe.
That jacket is gopping!!!!! The buttons are in the wrong place and it looks cheaply made. I've seen bin bags fit better too.
Sorry, got excited about seeing a nice DB jacket - got disappointed.
The button placement is all down to taste, and I actually really like the button placement on this suit. The placement is similar to Roger Moore's Cyril Castle suits. But the fit is the main problem, particularly the gaping chest. If it fit Daniel Craig, it would be a very nice suit.
Matt,
You are one of the people in the world whose opinion on suits I truly respect but I am sorry to say, I can't agree with you on this. That jacket looks like an amateur attempt at suit making. It looks like it was made in the 1940s with the baggy, gaping chest.
For a true DB jacket I would always go for George Lazenby's blazer in OHMSS. Now that was well fitting and looked superb.

You're looking at this as if it's a bespoke suit. It's a ready-to-wear suit and not right for Daniel Craig's body. The chest is not baggy at all; it's gaping because it is too tight! There's nothing wrong at all with the suit on the rack. The problem is that Daniel Craig chose a suit that doesn't have the right cut for him. It probably fits normal people well, just not a man with a prominent chest. There's nothing 1940s about it either.
Well I know Mr Hinx wears a Matchless, but perhaps we will see one or two more?
Bond's Morocco jacket on Matchless's website, posted a couple of weeks back, looks great but a bit blurry. Did I miss where it said they were going to be available for £800?
I occasionally carry my PPK concealed (fellow Pennsylvania resident) and have been looking for a good shoulder holster alternative to my galco inside-the-pant. Beyond the Bond connection, do you endorse this holster for that purpose?

Here's how the suit is supposed to look:
The model has a striking resemblance to Daniel Craig. The suit is not to my taste (I don't like shirt-style shoulders), but there's nothing objectively wrong with it. There's only something wrong with it on Daniel Craig, and that's Daniel Craig's fault, not the suit's.
Firstly guys I'd like to point out that I know nothing about suits or
Men's fashions, so have no right to stick my oar in but to me, as a
Civilian as it were. That suit looks very 1920/30s in style ? Very
Old fashioned. In that photo anyway.

The wide-spaced chalkstripes on flannel are what make this suit look old-fashioned. In a navy worsted with closer-spaced pinstripes it would look much more modern. The cut and style is actually a very modern take on a double-breasted suit. Back in the 1920s and 1930s bigger shoulders were the style, not soft natural shoulders, and there was a lot more wrap (overlap). This suit is more of a modern Neapolitan take on a 1960s double-breasted suit. What the cut of this suit does have in common with 1930s suits, however, is the belly (outward curve) on the lapels, just the lapels are narrower than what you would have found then.
Snowdon in Shiny Black confirmed...just had a call with TF and they are the same Snowdon sunglasses that are out there, however there may be some new packaging but it will NOT be Spectre or Bond packaging...just a change in packaging. SO< for all those that believed in the Snowdon in shiny black, GOOD ON YOU!
Important to note there are many fakes out there of this style so if it looks too good to be true in price beware! And also, these should have almost a tortoise backing to them...outside is shiny black...
Can someone help me with the "Shny Black" ID, though - I'm seeing Black Havana for sale. Is that a different model?
I am also having this issue now while I'm searching. I am using the O5B code, but most retailers describe the frame as either black havana or dark havana. Are these the correct ones? And the other issue is the "T" on the arms does not appear to be gold on all of them, although that could be down to poor quality pictures I suppose...
I just want to make sure I am buying the correct ones!

I believe the 05B number is all you need to worry about but I could be totally wrong.

Haha! I really want to go with you on this, as I can't seem to find any online retailers in the UK referring to "shiny black", but they do sell 05B models. Anybody else in the UK purchased them yet? If so, where from?
I've bought the Sunspel polo is Spectral Grey to stop myself from hastily getting the potentially wrong sunglasses )

Mine disintegrated on me, 'fraid

I hate to think what you did in them then

why is Matchless so popular /often used in movies?
before SPECTRE I never even heard of them?!
They pay to be in there - it's product placement, and extremely profitable for them.
ah ok, totally forgot about that aspect; thanks lippe {[]
Fantastic, thank you.

+1.
I bought the Snowdons in brown and have gotten compliments every time I've worn them. Here I am being filmed for a television show wearing them.
