Does Daniel Craig look like a second rate bouncer in those Tom Ford suits?

I did originally think the he looked rather good in the suits, but on second viewing of the film I've change my mind.

The jackets are too short for his body, it makes Daniel look short, which is just wrong for the character. Especially in the scene were M enters the holding cell of Silva, in this scene the suit looks like some badly fitting polyester effort you'd find in Top Man warn by either a sartorially challenged doorman or a teenager who's yet to discover what true style is!

I know the suits were trying to be on trend & fashionable looking, but for Christ's sake Daniel Craig is 44 years old, not a 20 something going for an interview. My advice to the wardrobe staff would be, please in future look at a classic gentleman's style it's much more appropriate & flattering.

    I couldn't disagree with you more. The suits looked great in the film and Daniel looked great in them.

    I am sure, they appreciate the advice. You ared so right. Tom Ford doesn't know a thing about suits.

    So glad, we have yet another silly tread.

    Sarcasm, love it, If you new anything about the true essence of tailoring you'd now that Bond as created by Fleming is a true connoisseur. I believe Tom Ford knows about suits but he's a fashion house, he gave his name to the suit's but that's the end of it, the number that were created for the film was huge, IE: they were made to measure at best, but in reality produced on a scale like all so called designer names, they were made for this film to sell a brand name as with any other product placement, they were not bespoke, a true gentleman's suit should be a one off, personal, that flatters, flows & never ever looks tight. Maybe unrealistic with modern film making but I seem to remember that Sean Connery's suit's were all bespoke from Anthony Sinclair in Mayfair, London.... Times change, class doesn't.

    You don't seem to know a lot, aside from how to create a stupid tread. There were all sorts of suits for Bond. Those loose ones for fighting scenes, the tailored ones for Casino etc scenes and so on. Tailored, you get it? Bespoke tuxedos and suits. Boy oh boy... :O
