I went to the midnight showing of Inception last night, and it was absolutely amazing. Other than that, there were some INCREDIBLE suits throughout the entire movie. I don't suppose any of you know who provided the suits? Mainly for Joseph Gordin-Levitt and Cillian Murphy's characters.

Didn't like the suits and I thought the shirts were awful: zero roll, too little spread, points not covered by lapel. Bad.

Why is everyone on this board obsessed with spread collars?

I don't like extreme spread (as Cillian Murphy's shirts in the movie), but I do think that shirts look much better if their points are just covered by the lapels, and you need some spread for that. Otherwise you get the "two pencils in a water glass look", which I find very unappealing.

I found Eames's (character) sportcoats appealling, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the suits.

Good movie, though I felt that Nolan had a tendency to over-verbalize the shots rather than let the camera do the talking. This was particularly true during the early-going, and then later with DiCaprio's superfluous description of how his wife died.

I thought that the outfits were very well done - definitely a step above the normal Hollywood standards.

It's not that were obsessed with spread collars it just that they are far supiror to any other collar type in terms of apperance.

There are many people here that should be wearing straight collars as well. With collars, with the exception of the London-cutaway and the tab, among some others, collars are not really something based on personal taste. It is based on what flatters your head, neck and shoulders. Wide head- straight collar; long head-spread collar.
