The James Bond suit by Tom Ford

The pattern gives the impression of a ladder working its way up the suit. The suit has a narrow notch lapel, 2 vents, 3 working sleeve buttons and slightly slanted pockets. Tom Ford made 60 of the sharkskin suit for the opening sequence.

The suits most likely fit they way Skyfall‘s and Spectre‘s costume designer Jany Temime intended them to fit doesn’t mean the clothes fit well. A poor fit is exactly the point. Even those people who embrace the shrunken fit must accept that it is a poor fit.

There is an implication in Skyfall (Sam Mendes) that James Bond's (Daniel Craig) ancestors were Recusant Catholics. When Kincade shows M the secret escape passage in the chapel at the Bond ancestral estate, he explains that it was originally a hiding place for priests, which strongly refers to the very long period in British history during which Catholicism was illegal, and the families who continued to practice Catholicism, shelter priests, and refuse the authority of the official church (Church of Scotland aka Presbyterianism in this case) were referred to as Recusants.
