Daniel Craig’s James Bond Wardrobe: The Brands Film by Film

How We Credited the Clothes

Bond films rarely publish a full list of costume suppliers, so credits come from three kinds of source.

The first is press reporting on the costume designers and the main suppliers.

The second is the makers’ own accounts, some given in interviews.

The third is specialist Bond costume sites, such as BAMF Style and James Bond Lifestyle, which identify garments from the screen and from production material; we name them where we rely on them.

We list a brand credit only where one of these sources supports it.

The Costume Designers Behind Craig’s Bond

Lindy Hemming designed the costumes for Casino Royale (2006), and Louise Frogley took over for Quantum of Solace (2008), as CommanderBond.net reported at the time.

Jany Temime designed Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015), and Suttirat Anne Larlarb designed No Time to Die (2021), according to Variety’s report of 6 October 2021.

Each designer chose the brands for their film, which is why the labels change from one film to the next.

Suits: Brioni, Tom Ford and Massimo Alba

Brioni dressed Craig in Casino Royale, and a Brioni executive told the press that “everybody at that casino table was dressed by Brioni” (CommanderBond.net, 2008).

Tom Ford was chosen to dress Craig for Quantum of Solace and supplied his suits for the rest of his time as Bond, including Skyfall and Spectre (CommanderBond.net, 2008; Variety, 6 October 2021).

James Bond Lifestyle identifies Tom Ford’s O’Connor model, a slim suit with a narrow lapel, in Spectre and No Time to Die, and a Tom Ford Windsor three-piece suit in Spectre’s Rome scenes.

In No Time to Die, Bond wears a sand-coloured cotton corduroy suit by Massimo Alba in the Matera chase, a softer, more relaxed suit than the worsted tailoring of the earlier films (Variety; James Bond Lifestyle).

For more on how a jacket should sit, see our guide to a tailored fit; fit is about comfort and proportion, and a close cut is a choice, not a requirement.

Wear: a navy or mid-grey two-button wool suit with a narrow notch lapel, a white or pale blue shirt, a dark navy knitted or silk tie, and black Oxford shoes.

Shirts and Knitwear: Turnbull & Asser, Sunspel, John Smedley and N.Peal

James Bond Lifestyle credits Turnbull & Asser with Bond’s white dress shirt and black silk bow tie in Casino Royale.

The navy Sunspel Riviera polo shirt Bond wears in the Bahamas in Casino Royale was based on an earlier Sunspel design, according to BAMF Style (16 July 2014).

In Skyfall’s Shanghai scenes, Bond wears a black merino V-neck jumper, the John Smedley “Bobby”, over a white shirt and black tie (BAMF Style, 7 March 2014).

John Smedley’s managing director discussed the brand’s role in Skyfall on the From Tailors With Love podcast in January 2020.

For the Norway scenes of No Time to Die, N.Peal supplied a blue ribbed commando jumper with shoulder and elbow patches (James Bond Lifestyle).

Wear: a navy cotton piqué or knitted polo shirt, stone cotton chinos, brown suede loafers and a light cotton Harrington jacket for the evening.

Outerwear: Barbour, Billy Reid, Tom Ford and Rogue Territory

In Skyfall’s Scottish scenes, Bond wears a Barbour waxed jacket, which the From Tailors With Love podcast names as the Beacon Sports jacket.

The navy peacoat in Skyfall’s Shanghai scenes was made by Billy Reid, which supplied twenty coats for the production, according to BAMF Style.

James Bond Lifestyle identifies a Tom Ford herringbone overcoat in Spectre and a tan waxed Ridgeline Supply Jacket by Rogue Territory in No Time to Die.

A waxed jacket and a wool peacoat cover most cold or wet days, one for the country and one for town.

Wear: a navy wool peacoat over a black merino V-neck jumper, a white shirt and charcoal wool trousers, with black suede chukka boots and black leather gloves.

Footwear: Crockett & Jones, Danner and Drake’s

Crockett & Jones, the Northampton shoemaker, supplied black nubuck Tetbury chukka boots for Skyfall’s Shanghai outfit (BAMF Style).

James Bond Lifestyle credits the same maker with black calf Highbury shoes and Molton chukka boots in No Time to Die.

In Spectre’s Austrian scenes, Bond wears Danner Mountain Light II hiking boots, and in No Time to Die’s Matera scenes, Drake’s Crosby suede chukka boots (James Bond Lifestyle).

Chukka boots in suede or nubuck sit between dress shoes and hiking boots, so they work with both chinos and wool trousers.

Casual Trousers and Swimwear: Brunello Cucinelli and Orlebar Brown

In Spectre’s Moroccan desert scene, Bond wears a brown Brunello Cucinelli jacket and trousers with a brown braided belt (James Bond Lifestyle).

Orlebar Brown is one of the British brands in Skyfall’s wardrobe named on the From Tailors With Love podcast.

For more on the brand behind the Moroccan outfit, see our guide to celebrity looks in Brunello Cucinelli’s style.

Wear: a brown or tan cotton jacket, a white or pale blue shirt open at the collar, matching brown cotton trousers, a braided leather belt and suede desert boots.

Watches and Sunglasses: Omega, Tom Ford, Vuarnet and Barton Perreira

Omega has supplied Bond’s watch since GoldenEye in 1995, according to Omega, and Craig’s Bond wears Seamaster models throughout his films.

In Skyfall, Bond wears Tom Ford Marko aviator sunglasses with silver frames and blue lenses (BAMF Style).

James Bond Lifestyle identifies Vuarnet and Barton Perreira sunglasses in No Time to Die.

Simple metal aviators or plain acetate frames suit most of the outfits on this page.

Off Screen

Craig is often photographed in knitwear and soft tailoring away from the films.

We found no dated report naming the makers of his everyday clothes, so we do not attribute them to any brand here.

How to Borrow the Craig-Era Bond Look

The films show a consistent approach that you can copy with clothes from any maker.

Choose fit before label: a jacket that sits cleanly at the shoulders and trousers that end neatly at the shoe matter more than the name inside.

Keep the colours simple: navy, grey, black, white, stone and brown cover almost every outfit in the five films, and our guide to classic menswear colours shows how to combine them.

Dress for the setting: a dark suit in the city, a waxed jacket and boots in the country, and a polo shirt and chinos in the heat.

Keep accessories plain: one watch, simple sunglasses and leather gloves in winter.

A high price does not prove higher quality, so judge any garment by its fabric, construction and fit.
