I think safety razors of any type are fine, and of course, so are electrics. Certainly you won't be able to bring a straight razor or anything of the like.

smart jeans-- i would recommend ordering online, and having a local tailor quickly hem the length to your size.

I usually order from www.neimanmarcus.com because they have my favorite brand (R&R avail in low rise, longer rise, etc., and they put a sizing chart on the www.rockandrepublic.com website recently), but other great resources for the brands mentioned by the other members are:

www.activendeavors.com

www.revolveclothing.com

www.nordstrom.com (go to the Rail section)

I didn't know you could bring razor blades into the cabin.

They'd probably think you were a terrorist if you brought a set of straight razors.

BTW as far as some of these brands go, most of them are available from the Denim Bar (www.denimbar.net) and the Japanese ones are available from Blue in Green (www.blueingreensoho.com) I believe both places can have hemming done for you as well.

You're right, I've taken out my deck shoes

I think i will replace them with Chelsea boots. I haven't got any chelsea boots at the moment and want the best quality that are timeless, stylish also. I want some like this feautured on the Crombie website

Does anyone know who Crombie get their shoes made by? So far I've found these

by Crockett and Jones. I'm also wondering what you do about shoe trees with these boots. Will the standard C&J shoes trees be ok? I've also found these in the sale http://www.newandlingwood.com/product.php?id=438# I'd buy them in the Burnished Chestnut. I'm unsure of the quality of New and Lingwood?

Has anyone a better suggestion for Chelsea boots?

Thanks. Since you telling me about John Smedley I researched some of the other brands worn by Daniel Craig in the Casino Royale film

Known Casino Royale Clothing (for Bond):


Grigio La Perla made the swimming trunks to Hemming's own designs, but are now selling them commercially.

Sunspel made most of the casual wear including polos, pullovers, t-shirts, tropical shirt, underwear etc to Hemming's own designs. So far only the polos are available.

Persol made the various sunglasses - much discussed on the forums.

Brioni made the formal suits and evening wear (the evening suit alone is said to have cost around £6000).

Turnbull and Asser made the evening and formal shirts and ties.

John Lobb made the formal shoes. Only two styles are known for sure and confirmed by Lobbs: 'Becketts' and 'Luffield'. Craig possibly wore the 'Romsey' ankle boots in the 'M's apartment' scene, but this isn't confirmed. All three styles are shown on the Lobb web site priced at around $1,440 from their ready to wear collection. The suede 'chukka' boots and other casual style shoes and boots weren't made by Lobbs.

White Moire 'Petersham' braces from Gieves & Hawkes

S T Dupont (Paris) made the Casino scene cufflinks

Armani made the leather jacket (retail around $4000!).

Unknown Clothing:

The casual (moleskin?) blue suit from the gunbarrel bathroom scene.
The brown suede chukka boots worn with the above suit.
Other miscellaneous items such as the trousers and casual shoes from the crane sequence, long coat worn for the B&W office scene, cream/grey suit when arriving in the Bahamas, etc.

Any help identifying the above items would be much appreciated.
