Speaking of peaked lapel three-roll-two linen suits...

Baron Boutique has decided to make a replica of Daniel Craig's from Casino Royale. They must have gotten reference from publicity photos, since the jacket's only on screen for a few seconds.

I really like that suit; it harkens back to the '30s a bit. Colour is very cool as well.

Thoughts?

Casino Royale

That is nice though that colour is not seen much anywhere.

 

[Jovan]

Is that a good thing or bad thing?

 

[Feraud]

I would prefer the website photos show pictures of their outfits rather than what the actor wore in the film.

 

[Jovan]

They do to some extent in movie replicas and the men's wear, but yes, I agree with you. It would help sell it more if they had side by side shots of their product and the one it's replicating.

 

[Feraud]

Who is going to be the test rat and order one!?

 

[Jovan]

Linen suit is the least of my needs right now, sorry.

You could always buy the suit a size too small, and remind yourself that the reason why you're not eating is to fit into the suit, not because you can't afford to. just kidding.

They make a linen suit that Brosnan wore in The World is Not Enough.

Yes- if you buy a suit from us, we'll also send you this torture device with it for only 5 installments of $39.99!

I sent to them that very suggestion, and here was their simple reply.

"Thanks Jovan. Working on it."

And, they didn't disappoint. Link. The colour's slightly off, but still not all that bad. Their other movie replicas have pictures of the actual product, there should be a link next to "Order Now" with most of them.

That is a bit better because you can see their product. Next, they need to model to wear shoes..

I thought pants were included in the price of the suit. lol
(See, those are some tiiight bunchy pants.)

You have to understand, Bond's tailoring as of late isn't perfect because it's all essentially off the rack suits... albeit, superbly hand made off the rack. But not quite the same.

Still, Brioni outdid themselves in the latest Bond, giving him more than just three button coats with double pleated trousers for once. The shirts, ties, and shoes were much better thought out this time around as well, which can make all the difference with a suit. In contrast, Brosnan came off looking like your average CEO or car salesman half the time rather than James Bond. I dare say, if you're just going to dress expensively and not bespoke, Casino Royale was the way to do it.

Flames start... now.

Nowadays OTR seems to have more cachet than custom for a lot of people anyway - a question I seek to explore in this thread.

And Bond's most loyal audience, besides teen boys, is probably car salesmen who aspire to be CEOs.

Aston Martin car salesmen?
