PPK: Great find on those gloves! I have a Bond Under $50 post coming up focused on winter accessories. Those are going on the list for sure; credit to you!
armenianmovieman: as Chriscoop said, a lot of us understand your frustration. I've come to the conclusion that their is no "right" color if you want to be screen accurate. They just change too much from scene to scene because of the lighting and filters.
DBS shared this pic a while ago of the actual BCs IRL:
The Kirklands are all dress pants, but the BCs are cotton chinos. So even if the color is close on the Kirklands, they still won't look quite right because of the fabric.
If you want to go with the lighter color, I would try these ones from H&M for 14 pounds:
If you want the darker color, maybe these from Volcom
And if you want something in between, maybe try these from M&S:
I going to update the BC chino post in the next week or so, and I'll let you know if I find anything really close.
It is difficult to try to match the colour of the BC chinos, I agree they look different colours with different outfits - but depending upon lighting/filters they can look different colours with same outfit!
Here's my BC SA chinos on same night, same outfit, 2 shots with different cameras (iPhone and pro 'Tog)
I'm going to check out those M&S ones for a "frugal" look!
Some fun lazy Sunday reading for you all: Matt Sherman, Mr. Bond Collectors' Weekends himself, tells us how to plan a successful 007 themed Halloween Party!
Since we are all doing the Spectre Morocco outfit here is my version. As others have said the trousers look to be different colours depending on the shot and filter used et cetera. Since they are meant to be the same trousers that are worn in the earlier scenes at L'Americain, I have used the same trousers and boots from that outfit. They are probably a bit too dark compare it to the screen trousers, but I am happy in general with this outfit.
The jacket is from H&M, tie and shirt from M&S and trousers and boots from Primark.
I don't mean to deviate away from Bond but sometimes I just see a great potential to kill 2 birds with one stone: the Brunello trousers in this case, combined with a very simple black long sleeve sweater\t-shirt.
While Captain America wears a Matchless jacket in Captain America Civil War, which is a great outfit in and of itself, there's another one my mind keeps going back to, considering the recent search for the Brunello trouser colors.
It is very simple: a black (I think waffle) sweater with gray pants that one can easily substitute with Brunello trouser alternates for a pretty nice casual outfit.
I remember him wearing some tan boots but I'll have to find a better picture for the shoe details.
All it takes is your Brunello trouser alternates combined with a black sweater, really: a few examples from H&M ranging from $13 to $20...
Argh not more jackets, I'm totally jacketed up. Did treat myself to a nice black knitted long sleeve polo and a post ball busting cr convalescence outfit, details in comments on iconic alts.

I want to do a series of these articles, so this is just the first one. Love to know if you guys are interested in this kind of stuff {[]
Great idea for a post. I loved the look of Bond's apartment in Spectre. We are renting atm, but I would love to have a flat with hardwood floors like Bond's. I have a chair like Bond's, but it is not lovely leather unfortunately!
Fantastic Canoe2. This posts takes it to the next level. Man, you've got some serious decorating knowledge. I'm an oaf when it comes to decor, so coupling the Bond connection with some well guided concepts is heaven sent. Love this direction. {[]
I'll share these; my little Bond style inspired corner in my home office:
The leather chair I had custom made after my father passed away. The crystal decanter belonged to my grandparents. The couch is an old beater I had reupholstered. The odds and ends are just things I've picked up travelling. The next big investment will be a genuine Persian rug.
Share your spaces, guys! Let's get some inspiration flowing!

Now that is impressive! Very very nice indeed Sir! -{
James Brosnan and cmdr_bong: Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it. But the truth is, if you take out the leather chair, there's easily less than $1000 invested in the space (not counting books*). And that's over the years. So you don't need to spend a fortune to get a space you're comfortable in. Just time and some elbow grease.
You'll also notice I didn't show you the other side of the room where my desk is ... :v
The room looks awesome, Canoe2! I'm very inspired now. I like looking at Bond's apartment in Spectre, and trying to envision what it would look like cleaned up and put together. This also reminded me of when a member here, Paperbill, decided to build the bed and recreate the hotel room in Bolivia from QOS. His results came out great! Here's the old thread:

Furthermore, H&M has 2 tan suits apart from the linen-blend already mentioned that could potentially serve as Brunello alternates:
A premium wool blazer reminiscent of the Brunello on sale for $89.99....

Champs Sports should have some for $10, as should Old Navy for around the same price.
I second that idea.

WOW those sunglasses and pants....do you think they took some inspiration from Spectre?
Now that is impressive! Very very nice indeed Sir! -{
crt007: Wow, everyone is making a jacket like that this year! I'll add it to the post in the next update, credit to you.
angelicbond: Thanks! The table is actually a chest, and I got it for $25.00. Not the best quality, but it's solid wood and it looks nice.
