    I can`t agree more. A button-down collar shirt and a tie...it`s bad.
    Belt loops and braces.... please not...
    But what bothers me more is wearing suits with these rugged boots. A suit and rugged boots is a no go in my opinion. And the crepe soles make them really rugged. I mean these Drakes boots are nice for a casual outfit (e.g. with chinos) but I don`t like them in combination with a suit.
    If it have to be Chukkas with a suit, why not choose something more subtle like the CJ Chukka or Chiltern boots?


    A good view of the shirt and tie.

    Wearing this outfit (sans jacket) without a muscular physique like Craigs will probably look more dorky hipster then 007.

    A porkpie hat would complete the hipster aesthetic.

    I like the individual pieces in this picture separately. Together as an outfit it's a disaster.

    I’ve been in and out a fair few shops in London today and one thing for sure is that cord suits are in this season. They had them everywhere, including in some of the ready to wear collections on Saville Row.

    While its not really to my taste they do look a lot better in person than in pictures IMO.

    I've already expressed my lack of hype for these outfits, but I'm still hoping that somehow, in the context of the film (hopefully against some bright, sun-baked settings and cinematography) we come to appreciate them a bit.
    Yes. Consssssiderably.

    I hope so too. I really hope there's one outfit that really makes us go wow..but I am losing hope.

    At least we are blessed with some great outfits from Dr. No through SP. -{

    Honestly, I don’t even think DC had much influence either, his taste is way better than this.

    While we can subjectively debate the merits of his personal sense of style, based on all that I’ve seen, it is not debatable that DC has almost total influence over Bond’s wardrobe. The costume designer is perhaps responsible for the other characters, but there’s no basis to give Craig a pass.

    I respectfully disagree, if , like you said, DC continues to have so much dominant influence in the costumes department, why are we noticing a clear drop of the “wow factor” in the outfits selection so far comparing to the previous two films? Your theory lacks consistency.

    The only thing that changed this time around is the name of the costume designer. This is exactly why we are experiencing this disappointment.

    That’s why I said that we need to stop blaming the storylines and finding excuses.

    Btw, Nobody could argue that DC certainly has an influence in every filming aspect , just perhaps not so much in the wardrobe department this time around. I also happen to find Jany Temime very hard to replace and this is already showing.

    My money is on the Omega :007) and still hoping for just one amazing outfit we have yet to see :D

    I have to say... so far I’m pretty pleased that all the outfits suck because it’s keeping a ton of $$$$ in my pocket. This new costumer designer needs to hit the door...

    I just received my SA Massimo Alba suit thanks to the help of Commandant who went above and beyond the call to get it from Europe to the US.

    I know this is everyone's favorite outfit from the movie. :))

    But here are some quick observations:

    1. The fabric is THIN. Everyone who has speculated that Craig must be roasting in corduroy has never felt this kind of corduroy. It's lighter than a twill cotton suit I once owned. Far lighter than most hopsack blazers. About as light as linen. Also, the texture is almost velvety. Honestly, if you haven't seen the thing in person, you have no idea.

    2. The trousers do NOT come with buttons for braces. So don't blame Massimo Alba for Bond's suspenders. He wants you to use a belt. Suttirat added the buttons.

    3. The fit: I bought a 54 based on the Mr. Porter size guide, and that seems to be right. I have 19" shoulders and a 43" chest. The trousers need to be taken in, which always happens as I have a narrow waist. The sleeves are VERY long, however. (I take 35'' shirts, for reference.) And the cuff buttons are functional so tailoring will be tricky.

    4. The jacket is a FULL button three. The lapel ends well above the top button. There is no roll. If you don't button the top, it hangs loose in a sloppy-looking way, to my eyes. Again, blame Suttirat if you don't like the way it looks on Craig.

    Overall, I get why people are not a fan of the suit, especially for Bond. It's unstructured, the fabric is unusual, etc. But as someone who doesn't wear suits to work and will only wear this on special warm weather occasions, I think it fills a nice gap in my closet, between my Brunello Cucinelli sport jacket and BC khakis (SP) and my navy blue linen suit (CR).

    Now it's off to the tailor!

    Hey everybody, don't know if swatches have been posted yet, but a local Toronto boutique is running a special Tom Ford MTM event where NTTD swatches will be available

    Here's what it says:

    Exclusive offer: Feel like 007 with limited-edition James Bond made-to-measure fabrics, available exclusively during this event.

    I'm hoping it's the SA swatches, and not an 'inspired by' collection.

    Yes fabric samples are out

    Here are two more (one unseen)

    Not sure about the rest of the outfit, but I'm digging this shirt and tie combo.

    I'll echo a lot of the above in that so much of the clothing from this film has been very underwhelming (in my opinion only) but... there are still older pieces I never picked up.. so I'm saving some serious expenses this time around ! Have never been a fan of button down collars and with that tie it certainly looks like 1990's inspired fashion :))

    Oh well.....

    Interesting how quite a lot of CraigBond's wardrobe is motorsport related. The retro Levis motorcycle jacket in Skyfall, a Matchless jacket in Spectre (Matchless was a motorcycle manufacturer), now a Connolly jacket: Connolly being famous as suppliers of upholstery to many famous luxury car brands and who now make slightly retro motorsport inspired clothing, including that blue jacket which I think has a rather cool sort of motoring vibe to it.
    Sort of a shame he doesn't wear an Omega Speedmaster rather than the diving watches: it would suit this style more.

    I was just thinking the same thing and then DC visit's the British GP this year as well.

    There also seems to be more of a car related theme in this movie with at least 2 chases.

    He's been spotted wearing a Speedie I think right? You've also got Harrington jackets and suede chukkas that I would associate with motor racing of yesteryear. Do love Connolly though, great heritage, and there's a fantastic interview with their head designer on a podcast I listen to.

    Is that right? For the new film you mean? I don't know; I've not kept up on it. I rather like the glimpse of the old chronograph watch we got at the end of Spectre: that suits his sort of old school 50s/60s motor-racey look too.

    Good point on the jackets and shoes: they are quite sort of Goodwood in style, if you know what I mean! :) That podcast sounds fun, what's that?

    In his private life I meant, seen a few images of him recently wearing a Speedmaster on a NATO strap, and if I remember correctly even a bullhead chrono as well a few times. Loved that watch too from the end of Spectre, still amazes me they don't use them more often given their obvious utility.

    There are other elements of his style that hark to Goodwood - great way of categorising it actually. Here's a link to that podcast episode, obviously available in many places, I generally use Spotify, to each their own:

    Excellently put together podcast, knowledgeable and inquisitive interviewer, and he gets some fantastic guests in from around the menswear/style ecosphere.

    Someone should ask Mason and Sons if they could recreate this jacket as the response from Connolly seems poor (i.e. hard to source material, the material is just a mid navy blue cotton/linen blend - not hard to source at all). Mason and Sons could potentially replicate this as they done with hacking Goldfinger jacket or safari jacket.
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,292MI6 Agent
    Maybe give Connolly more time. Believe a bit of a shock to them last week

    I agree with Welshie to give Connolly time. I would wager that company has never experienced anything like this surge of interest — and before the jacket has even appeared in a trailer!

    And remember that the design is their property. And they will continue to make this design for spring 2020 and maybe beyond. Mason and Sons has reimagined designs from the past. Cloning another designer's work isn't their gig. To me this situation most closely resembles SP's Dior jacket. Limited run, too expensive for many. I see opportunities for Indy Magnolli and Daniel Love to do faithful recreations.

    At the very least, there will be cheap China knock-offs sold on eBay.

    The jacket is fairly generic so could easily be replicated. I think it could fit neatly into the Motoluxe range that the Masons produce.

    After looking for alternatives for 2 solid days, I'm going to disagree with this. The design elements may be generic, but putting them together in that particular configuration is pretty unique to Connolly. It's like 1/3 chore coat, 1/3 linen blouson and 1/3 Valistarino. And currently, there's just not much out there like it.

    Would it be easy to copy? Sure, most designs are. It would be even easier since Connolly is not a particularly big or well known brand, so most people wouldn't have a clue where the original design came from. But I wouldn't expect a small company like Mason & Sons to try it. With the pieces they don't make in house, they seem more comfortable offering a curated selection directly from the original brands (or at least maintaining their independent brand identity separate from the Mason & Sons label). So directly copying the work of another small British brand would be hitting too close to home for them, I think.

    But come spring (after the appearance of the jacket in official teasers and trailers), I believe we'll have a similar situation to what happened with the Tom Ford Harrington. Brands like J.Crew, Banana Republic, Marks & Spencer, NEXT, Asos, Massimo Dutti, Zara, etc. will all be offering their interpretations of the "linen moto jacket". We just need to be patient.

    Hey guys,

    Is anybody going to get a suit done? If so, are you sticking with O'Connor, or trying a different Fit (Windsor)?

    My contact at TF sent me these Bond swatches. Don't if they're all screen used, or if some of them are 'inspired by'.
