So discuss it here.

How would you like to see Daniel Craig dressed along the movie, and items you would like him to wear too.

That all looks pretty good. I would only have him appear in the naval uniform for the gunbarrell and perhaps a bit of M's briefing to him.

I would also replace that gun with the PPK :tup:

I love that kilt. It just says, "I'm so confident in my coolness factor that I'm going to wear a kilt and still be sexy."

That said, picturing Craig in the kilt only inspires me to laughter.

I dunno; suits from Ozwald Boateng, watches by Ikepod.. stuff like that.

Something a bit more cutting edge and up to date on the London scene, but with classic overtones.

Kilgour is cutting edge: retro is where it's at. That shot of Craig is from October 2004. He wasn't close to being Bond then - he was Daniel Craig, cool and edgy rising British actor. I like Boateng a lot - don't know Ikepod. But what looks like it could pass for classic now might not last. Boateng was edgy in 1999 (which is when Bullion wore him) - that look is already dating. Why not, for this one film, because of what it is, just go back to the brands that Fleming used and are still around - and use them? Bond's tailor was never mentioned, but it was Savile Row. A Kilgour suit now and a Kilgour suit then aren't the same thing - but they're in the same area. The one from now is cutting edge and classic.

Just Googled Ikepod. Cool watches - but not for James Bond in CASINO ROYALE, for heaven's sake!

Yeah; fair enough- I'm not up on all of those top flight suit brands. I just like to see him in something modern and ultra chic; those brands weren't me naming exact ones but just types. I don't care if it looks dated in a few years as the film isn't being made for then. I want to see him looking like a real genuine London high flyer who knows where to put his cash.

I don't care as to whether it is the same brand in Fleming, but if it is as up to date as you say, I'm all for it. No dressing like grandad in his boring old Brioni.

Just Googled Ikepod. Cool watches - but not for James Bond in CASINO ROYALE, for heaven's sake!

View Post


Nope, but there must be a brand which demonstrates the high class expensive fel they lack and the up-to-date design saavy they show. Yours is fine but doesn't feel quite up there; hard to describe. I want a more on the pulse Bond. But one thing's for sure- no diving watches!

Totally disagree, marktmurphy.

Bond should NEVER be cutting edge fashion.

You can't buy class
You can't buy style

Bond should always be timelessly elegant with subtle modernity.

Ozwald Boateng and the like are so wrong for Bond. So wrong.

I am the firm believer of the Savile Row style of Brioni.

I do like the English gentleman's tailoring of the last few James Bond films so that Bond does not turn into an American cop.

Daniel Craig looked good in Brioni at the Press Conference too.

Well, to be obtuse (!) if we followed Fleming's brands exactly we'd see Bond driving around in a 19 year old Bentley:

I said the brands, Mark, not the model! He could drive a Bentley now. The firm still exists and is known for classy cars, presumably? I don't drive, though, so I wouldn't know. I suggested a vintage Rolex, but I wasn't suggesting a Savile Row suit made in 1951! Kilgour were around then and now, though. I think 'timelessly elegant with subtle modernity' would be my credo, too.

Well Bond didn't drive a 1987 Bentley in the 1953 novel, you know- totally different model! That is the brand and with the only model they produced in that year. He drove a 1933 (or was it 1930?... Hmm, can't remember) Bentley, which was roughly twenty years old when he went to the Casino Royale in 1953; hence for 2006, to stay close to Fleming's original, he should drive a knackered twenty year old, mid 1980's Bentley as that told us a lot about Bond's devil-may-care attitude and his financial assets (or lack of: Handily that old Bentley mirrors the 50's Bond's old Bentley in that it is only worth around six grand now). And that's a piccy of it, I'm afraid!

Wrong for Bond but not wrong for a Bond film. Boateng's currently doing work for Givenchy (in addition to his Bespoke Coture).

I could see Oz outfitting a villain and/or henchman in CR. Word on the street was that he outfitted Goldie's casino ensemble in TWINE.

I'd like to see Craig/Bond in Paul Smith. Suits from the "London" collection.
Especially if his cover is what it's supposed to be in the book. One would think he'd have a sense of personal style outside of 3 piece suits.

Hmm, slightly pedantic Mark? Bentley weren't inhabiting the same market during the 80s that they were during the 30s so, although your argument is valid, it's slightly off-balance. The equivalent, brutish, British sporting GT with a similar pedigree to Bond's Blower would be the Aston V8, as driven by Dalton. You could also plump for the slightly later Virage models or, if it has to be a Bentley, the 1992-on two door Continental models. All would fit the bill and be equivalent to Fleming's Casino Royale portrayal of the character.

Oh, and to get the thread back on track... well I think everyone already knows my view on the clothes. Boateng is too conspicuous (a pastiche of Connery Bond) and Brioni too, well, Italian. I'm in the Kilgour camp.

Not convinced, really. They're both big, heavy, very fast four door, four seaters for the richer gentleman driver. The 30's one is a little more sporting so the only thing possibly closer to that that I can think of would be an old Jaguar XJR-S or the like. Either way, the car in Casino Royale tells us much about Bond's affluence, aspirations and perceived level of himself in society; so an old sporty Jag or equivalent age Bentley would still be pretty spot on if you wanted to portray exactly the same character. But I don't think they should stick to everything.

I like the Beretta. Perhaps they could have it jam on Craig in the scene where his car crashes and he's captured by the villians henchmen as a little tip of the hat to M's disaproval of that gun in Dr. No. I also like the Rolex but wasn't it confirmed that Bond will once again have a Omega.

I personally not like him to wear the navy style suit. Because that is a thing of the past with Roger Moore. Daniel Craig should continue to wear what there giving him. I like that cool blue pinstripe suit at the end of movie.
