Ideas?

[Tybre]

Before I start going anywhere, is this meant to be serious or are we talking ties again?

[Righty007]

Tom Ford.

Goldfinger was just on the telly and I said I want one of those! It looked mighty comfy!

Jeans and a tshirt

[Tybre]

Black gi, black hakama, orange tabi socks, and geta.

[double o ego]

Lets have Bond in suave bespoke suits ala the opening of QoS, when he's being brifed about Slate at MI6 and when he arrives in Bolivia.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Tom Ford.

He's going to be wearing Tom Ford? Sounds a bit risky, unless Tom Ford is an item of clothing or designer of course? Then that would not be risky.

Edit: Just googled Tom Ford and its a desinger label.

Pheww!

Anybody that followed the production of Quantum of Solace knows that in 2008 EON Productions ditched Brioni for Tom Ford.

Maybe they could have Daniel Craig wear a Tribly-style hat, as an homage to the Connery era.

Here's a good example: http://www.jamesbond...l...=cl&g=cl013

[Trident]

I'm a little reluctant with the trilby/pork pie hat. Connery wore them at a time they were mainstream fashion. Today, they've become fashionable again, but only if you are a musician or some kind of hipster; definitely both labels Bond wouldn't be seen dead as aspiring to. There may be a way for Bond (Craig or some other actor in the future) to wear again a hat, but I don't see that happen anytime soon (for the same reason no basecaps, flatcaps and so on; perhaps a beanie in very cold conditions, arctic or close, but that would be an article of equipment, not a piece of fashion).

Pretty good shot, thx for sharing!

But let's face it, that's an actor (one of the coolest actors on the block), and while he can wear that thing anytime, it's a different kind of kettle with Bond I'm afraid.

[volante]

I've got a secret hankering for Blue Harbour.

But probably it will be Tom Ford again

[WhatMeWorry?]

yea Trident, you definitely have a point.

Nice pic Jaguar, thanks!

[Dainshdude118]

I think they've found the ideal tailor for Craig with Tom Ford. It just feels right watching Bond in those suits. Just as Brioni were perfect for Brosnan, I'm sure we can look forwards to a long and happy relationship with Tom Ford. Well actually, I'd personally rather not but...

I want Bond back in British clothes (his suits, at least), preferably from a firm with a military background like Dege & Skinner or Meyer & Mortimer but English bespoke is the key.

[The Shark]

Please no more clothing or hair threads. This forum's getting camper every day.

Is he wearing the hat for reasons of anonymity or, er, style?

I suppose, mostly he's wearing it for a hat, isn't he?

Agreed. Bond needs to go back to his Saville Row roots, ditch the yankee designer, although the Tom Ford suits were nice but to be honest, Bond is British and British clothing is what he should be wearing. I highly suggest that the movies start using Ozwald Boateng. The guy's bespoke couture suits are exquisite.

Gieves & Hawkes, ticks all the boxes for me

[The Shark]

Didn't like the Tom Ford suits in Quantum of Solace. Everything looked far too tight, making Craig look rather small and frail.

Bond needs looser tailoring, and preferably from Saville Row, rather than Italian or American designers.

[double o ego]

You're confusing tight with fitted.

Bond for contemporary times should be wearing fitted suits and I disagree that Craig looked small and frail. He looked exceptionally suave...and yes, I can get behind the Gieves & Hawkes design too but imo Boateng is the way forward.

[The Shark]

I just prefer the looser fitting suits that Connery wore, and no I don't think they're particular anachronistic. I just thought Craig looked more physically impressive and 'Bondian', in the Brioni suits he worse for Casino Royale.

His look of frailty was more down the amount of weight he lost for the film.

[jaguar007]

He looked far less "frail" than Dalton or Brosnan did in any of their films ( and far more fit than Moore or Connery in his later films)

I never thoguht Dalton looked as thin as Craig in TLD, LTK. Certainly a lot more bulky and physically imposing. I'd say Brosnan from TWINE - DAD looked more hefty too.

You must give me the name of your oculist

While cut down a bit more from CR, Craig still had visible muscletone in QoS. Craig's shoulders, back and arms were much more defined and muscular than either Dalton or Brosnan ever were. I really like Dalton as Bond and unlike Brosnan, he at least has broad shoulders in a suit that make him look a bit bigger. However neither Brosnan or Dalton had any back or chest in a suit and that is something that always bothered me viewing them as "tough guys". As Bond, Brosnan seemed to be a bit more fit than Dalton. It is no wonder why TLD is the only film you don't see Bond with his shirt off. When LTK came out I can see why, Dalton looked almost embarassing without a shirt. Pretty slim with very little muscle tone.
