...is to dissect the Casino Royale Tuxedo.

It's classically stylish, so I think it fits here. What I want from you keen eyed folks is to watch the movie, do a web search, whatever, and weigh in your opinions here.

Here's what we know:

It is a Brioni number, and cost over €6000.
Pants are flat-fronted

What we don't know:

Fabric -- It looks very fine, and at the above price, I'm not surprised. Any thoughts on what it could be? Very important is the blacker-then-outer-space look.
Dimensions -- The peak-lapel is nice, but it is very high on the shoulders. What would the dimensions here be, do you reckon? Obviously the dimensions differ depending on the size of the suit, but with as many dimensions as possible we can thusly determine approximate proportions.
Buttons -- Single or Double?
Pants -- Is there a stripe down the side or no? Are they straight legged or tapered?

Some hated the movie, but no one can deny how good that Tuxedo looked! (and maybe, just maybe, I want a replica:eek: )

FedLoungers...Roll Out!

Cheers

The main thing I remember about that tuxedo is that he should have been wearing a cummerbund.

Amen, Brother!

At first, I thought he was wearing some sort of dark suit, not a true Tuxedo.
Have to admit, I did like the plain placket on the shirt front, but was that a spread collar on the shirt?
Considering you're going to be wearing a bow tie, wouldn't a straight collar make more sense? Or, at least look better.
