I think the reason why the grey glen check suit stands out so distinctly is not so much the tailoring - all the suits were cut by the same tailor - but the fact that it is light grey. The details and contours are seen clearly, while those of the dark suits are not so visible because of the cinematic medium.
That is a very good point. I use a book to get the details about each suit because it is quite difficult to see what some of the darker suits are made of.
Not according to the author of the book Fashioning James Bond by Llewella Chapman which I use as a guide. But if there are mistake please feel free to point them out. I welcome the chance to learn as much as possible about fabrics.
@@ForTheLoveOfSuits ...I'm surprised at the lack of pressing, particularly on the grey 3 piece suit. The fit, particularly in the upper arms of a couple of his suits isn't great. I think the quality is definitely there, Connery may not have the perfect figure to show off the suits and I know fit has changed over the years but still doesn't inspire.
I couldn't disagree more. The cut on these suits is amazing, a candidate for the best male wardrobe in movie history. And if 36 year old Connery doesn't "have the perfect figure" to show suits off, then no one does.
I love three piece suits so its nice to see him wear a few in this movie.
And he has more coming up.
Wonderful video, thank you sir. I just had the classic grey suit tailor made! Will be interesting to see how it comes out
Fabulous. Enjoy it when it arrives.
He is so handsome in any angle. Sean is so charismatic . The way he walks as bond so majestic
That's called the "Panther Walk", I read that in his biography, he learned it in his prior training, they loved it.
Fascinating discussion thank you
Delighted you liked it.
More British, Australians, Canadians and New zealanders should aspire to be like Jimmy Bond! 👍🏻
And don't forget the Irish.
@@ForTheLoveOfSuits Pierce.... 😉
Yes, Goldfinger's costumes are very interesting.
I'd never wear them myself but it has to be said they are striking.

@@ForTheLoveOfSuits Is that suit considered 'shark skin'?
I wear suit with pleated pants like 1960s Bond
An excellent choice and they are coming back into fashion this year big time.
Bond doesn't peel off a wet suit, he peels off a dry suit.
Thanks you. I was unaware such a thing existed. I've only ever worn wetsuits.
I feel like I' m reading Ian Fleming, with your descriptions.
Oh. Thank you so much.
@@ForTheLoveOfSuits You are most welcome. An interesting topic, you are using here, on UA-cam.
That is not a rose in the lapel of the dinner jacket.
If they mounted it side ways or offset, would be minimal bulk
He wore it well.
He sure did. But it helps to be 6 foot 2 and good looking.😀
Let's face it : when you are as good looking as Connery you can wear anything..!!
It does help.
" Dressed to kill", literally.
You have made several mistakes regarding the suit fabrics.

I'm sorry, of course Bond is a classic, but the tailoring on these suits isn't great.
Thanks Daniel. A very interesting comment. Anything in particular that stands out as bad tailoring?
