    I think some people don’t realize how much work this amazing man puts in his videos. First he has to buy a 5,000 dollar suit then he has to make the video finally he has to edit it when he puts up the pictures.

    My guess is that this outfit is meant to reflect Madeleine's influence on Bond. While on holiday in Italy, they probably stopped off at a boutique and picked up Bond a new, fashion-forward outfit that's different from his usual style.

    I love the look of this outfit just as much as I love the brown/fawn Brunello Cucinelli Morocco outfit. Unfortunately this outfit to me is also just as unusable. As awesome as they look on screen I just cannot fathom an occasion where I can throw these together and feel like they are appropriate. Of course I'm still waiting for that desert wedding/Mediterranean cocktail party invite 😅

    I bought this suit and am incredibly happy with it! I am 1.85, and an athletic lean IT48 chest, took IT46 with the trousers though. Only am taking it to the tailor to open the pockets and have the Albert Thurston brace buttons in. Just a beautiful look and my first official Bond suit!!!

      How did you get the jacket and suit in different sizes? I ordered a 52 and the trousers are much too small for me. I asked to exchange the trousers and they said they could not do it. Ordered directly from their website.

      @@alexl8328 to be honest i bought it from a fellow Bond fan because of that reason. I had contacted Massimo Alba and they told me i could not change the trouser size. He must have bought the trousers separately in the store (he is based in Rome)

    I love the look from the movie, what we've seen of it that is. I just can't do all that corduroy. I fortunately enough have a linen suit with a very similar color and details, like the ticket pocket and double vents. I replicate the look with a chambray shirt, burgundy dotted tie, and some suede bucks. As you say, Bond inspired.

    Great video, the sales person is right you should take size 50. The shoulders are too narrow, you can see your triceps are popping up. The blazer has a very square cut (which make sense so it fits a lot more people) which explains why you have so much room even if you have a size which is not really correct to you triangle shape upper body.

  • @tylermclaughlin2073

    Clearly bond is moving towards a more modern menswear look. A blend of Italian and British looks are what is popular. That jacket is actually what I think is called a two roll three. The rule for buttons is sometimes for the top. Always for the middle. Never for the bottom.

    It's a very informal yet fresh-looking Suit. Not business-like at all. More for travelling (for Off Duty Bond)? I noticed that this modern soft shoulder look is also very much in current style (being early 2020's). If I was the designer, I would have made the Lapels a bit thinner in order to balance out the soft shoulder design. Perhaps buttoning the top button thins out the lapels? However, the lapels do their proper function of placing focus upon the face of the person wearing the suit (so that you take notice of the individual wearing the suit and not the other way around).

  • @dantealighieri5119
    @dantealighieri5119 2 роки тому

    Sartorial dictum would suggest to leave the belt out as it disrupts the flow of the outfit from top to bottom. This is why in the film they use braces from Albert Thurston; the ensemble is more relaxed to the usual attire of 007, but with the braces it immediately has that timeless elegance that we have come to love. This is an outfit you could use day to day and it would not look out of place. I was reading through some of the comments and I did want to ask why do you need an occasion to make an effort on your appearance? I am not suggesting wearing black tie to the local store but this outfit is chic while appearing nonchalant. It is great to develop a productive mindset too.
