  Just a little curious fellas.
  
  After rewatching The Bond Experience's "Theory and Opinions on the No Time to Die Clothes" with Matt Spaiser. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh5d4ZDJ-gg), I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what they would've chosen for DC to wear had they been given the chance in No Time to Die. For example, instead of the Tommy Bahama shirt and Tom Ford jeans and Sperrys, for Daniel Craig's Bond, what would you have chosen? What are some other outfits you would've changed?
  
  Appreciate all the opinions

  
  Jeans and a silk shirt in the tropics would not have been my choice. The Sperry’s were a good choice. I would have had them with a nice long sleeve linen shirt like the ones OB do rolled up sleeves of course and maybe tailored shorts.
  
  A Sunspel Riviera polo with linen trousers another possibility.

  Yes. Considerably!

  I actually like the jeans/black shirt. It’s one of my favorites to wear in the wild. However I couldn’t imagine being in Jamaica! Same with the Morocco outfit and the Craig Blouson

  The plot necessarily factors into the costuming choices. It's hard, not having seen the film.
  
  I can't say for certain why Bond is dressed the way he is in Jamaica, but the tidbits we've gotten suggest he's lying low from Spectre. If that's true, it would explain why he's not dressed like James Bond as we've come to know him. In a t shirt with holes, generic swim trunks, and flip flops he's just some middle aged guy who washed up in the Caribbean as many seem to do.
  
  For all we know, even the clothes he's wearing in Matera are meant to be deliberately non-Bondish. After the events of "Spectre," he and Madeleine would surely know that Blofeld's crew might be coming after them. They might not realize how deep undercover they need to go.
  
  But in terms of specifics, I'm having increasing trouble with Bond in a henley. I wear them all the time in long and short sleeves. It's kind of my go-to look these days. But every time I see a picture of Craig wearing one in NTTD, I think, "Nope." For one, I don't think it flatters him. Even a simple crew neck pullover would do the trick without the workwear/underwear connotation of a henley.

  Although I love the R&B henley I agree he looks more like a generic action hero here then James Bond.

  Best picture so far of trousers worn with MA Duster!
  
  Any other pictures from this source or better resolution?
  
  Possibly the black MA MAX belt too, can now be seen.

  I got it from the link posted by Mattia De Varti in the Bond 25 spoiler thread, the pictures appear to have been removed though. Ill post the few wardrobe related pics I saved in the wardrobe thread.
