Yes they appear to be fuller fitting than Skyfall's suits but I stand with my opinion on his topcoat.



Too much suppression and it results in a very feminine silhouette.

Yeah, that top coat is a little much. The suits were way too tight in Skyfall and it looks like Spectre is continuing the trend. Casino Royale and QoS is when DC's suits looked the best.

Bond shoes for Spectre

Here is what he'll be wearing:

Camberley in black calf, Alex in black calf, Northcote in black wax calf, Norwich in black calf, Radnor in black calf and Swansea in dark brown suede.

I think he'd look better with a bit more of a shoulder as well. The effect is more like a frock coat if you over tailor a chesterfield.

I just thought the whole look is very feminine. The QoS "Kazan" coat was basically perfect.

Saw the film a few days ago and from what I remember I liked his sportscoat(s?) more than his suits. Wasn't paying too much attention to the clothes though.

@Crat how would you rank the movie vs. the other Craig movies?

Maybe Skyfall was a better film (more realistic) but to me Spectre was more 'Bond'. More jokes and similarities to the old bonds.
Regarding the clothes, there was a brown SC I liked. Wider lapels than the suits. Think it was Bond who was wearing it but it could have been M.

I think I read somewhere that Craig's suits were made from a stretchy fabric so he can perform the action sequences looking effortlessly cool.

I finally saw Spectre last night and I know the brown SC you mean. Bond wore it in the desert scenes. It was linen and fit very nicely.

I don't mind too much the snug fit of the main suit, but the center vent spoils it. I also rather liked the overcoats. My girlfriend liked the blouson Bond wears in the climatic scenes, so I've got to find one like it!
