Hello everyone.
I am new to this forum and this is my first post to please excuse my ignorance. I was wonderign if anyone would be able to advise me where to get information about the clothes worn by Bond in the films. I am not necessarily interested in getting 100% screen accuracy (I don't exactly have thousands to spend on a suit). More interested in just finding out the style then emulating it perhaps.
Well thanks for your help.
Ken

Hi Ken, welcome 
The CBN forums are a good place to start your search. As Daniel noted above, Commander Dan is the forum's (as it looks to me) biggest specıalıst in the area of costumes and props.
In this thread, "007 tux", he talks about a special tailor he has that recreates the Brioni suits for him. Perhaps you could hook up with him and find one to do that yourself.

Welcome to CBN. Unfortunately the tuxes worn by bond were specialy made. They are made by Brioni though. If you have a tailor near by he might be able to help you. I don't know about the other cloths in the movies. Welcome to the Forums!

Welcome to the CBN Forums.
I'm afraid most of what White Knight has said is true. There are experts in the forums that know all about the aspects of costume. It might be worth starting a topic on it as they can generally be quite helpful.

Most probably in the 'Collecting' forum section. It could also come under 'Movies-Elements'.
