I am MacLovin, not Kasper. Who is Kasper?

I was simply asking because you seem to really admire James Bond, and to like the work Ford has done.

Yrs.

I do like the classic styling portrayed by these looks. And I do enjoy the films. That doesn't mean I want to dress exactly like some fictional character in a movie. I like Inidana Jones, so does that mean I want to dress with a fedora and bull whip?

I wouldn't wear lobbs, I'm not into English styling, I prefer Porsche over Aston, need I go on. But you are a fun troll. If I was a Bond freak copy, I would have been wearing Brioni and Lobbs the last 3 years.

OK, I just thought you had said you were a secret agent one time. I guess I was wrong.

Is that a moire dinner jacket? I think they're stealing ideas from my posts; I feel I could work for Tom Ford giving them ideas for vaguely dated swank items of clothing.

Great, now Bond will be wearing black silk shirts with three buttons open for chest fur and have male pattern baldness.

Maybe Bond will truly become a man's man.

Not to be pedantic, but Fleming wrote an awful lot about what Bond wore. In the novel Casino Royale, he tells the reader that Bond bought his suits off-row from some of the other, cheaper, tailors in London. Besides that we also know his choice in watch, his shirts, and the specific styles of shoe he wore. Fleming was a lover of clothes, and when one reads his books, it really shows.

I'm sure he already has a perfectly fine Internet Sleuth.

I think the next Bond film should be 2 hours of watching him thrift in London.

Oliver Peoples is mass produced in the same factory as much of the rest of Oakley's holdings as I recall. I don't really think they've got much going for them in the quality department. If you like the look, though, that's what counts.

Hmm, I happened to look/try some Tom Ford suits today. I have to say, "kitsch" springs to mind way before either masculine or sexy. Then again, I have neither Brad Pitt's nor Daniel Craig's body, so maybe I'm missing the vital ingredient...

Any thoughts on the quality/construction/details?

I must say that I'm quite enamoured by them.
