pretty sure that shirt is Brioni - the only T&A item featured in Casino Royale was the formal shirt he wore during the poker sequences. They were selling a limited run of them - I got one a while back but I doubt they are still available.

MY God! Did Brioni know they were selling to Blofeld? What sort of nefarious high-jinks are you up to?

It's probably Brioni. It sure doesn't look like something from T&A, or any English maker.
The pattern is a white on white stripe, or self stripe.

Yup, T&A made just the dress shirt... they did, however, do retailoring on his other shirts. The story most have heard by now was that Criag bulked up quite a bit from first fittings to when the movie was shot. They flew staff from London down and they redid his shirts at the last minute.

Craig was wearing Brioni among other things... there is a story at the Bond Lifestyle website as told by a TA rep that one of the shirts they had to fix was from Diesel.

Nothing wrong with an old fashioned collar. In fact, I prefer them that way.

Could you provide more details? Is it a beige colored self-striped shirt?

This why I thought they were T&A

“You know, that’s one of the things that for an actor when they come on to Bond is such a lovely surprise,” says Lindy. “Because we really do use some of the best tailoring in the world for our actors and especially for Bond himself.”

The suits, designed by Lindy, come from Brioni Roma, a leading Italian tailor. The shirts are hand made by one of London’s finest gentleman’s outfitters, Turnbull and Asser and Bond’s shoes and boots are also hand made by London cobblers John Lobb Ltd. And even his under garments are specially made by Sunspell, a menswear company based in Nottingham, England.

Bond’s style, she says, has to be a fine balance. “We want him to look contemporary but classic, too. These films last a long, long time and people look back at them and so you are trying to create a look that won’t date very quickly.”

No, it's white. It may not be a 100% exact replica, per se, but it's certainly similar. I like it very much. They're currently out of stock in that fabric (known as Pizza White), but I'll let you know when they once again become available.

No, it's nothing wrong but you can get that collar shirts in any shop in any place. Not like wide spread or cutaway ones. So I don´t see the hype on this post.
