We are all led to believe at this point that Bond wears Brioni shirts from this point on, until his temporary return to London where he has a chance to visit his usual shirtmaker, Turnbull and Asser. The first time we properly witness Brioni shirts is in Die Another Day, when we see Bond’s tailor in Hong Kong (the one he also mentions in Diamonds are Forever) generously whip up some fresh shirts in their Brioni packaging on the hotel bed. It’s part of a look that’s pointed out by another character, a rare occurrence in the franchise, so it is an important part of Bond fashion lore nonetheless.īut before that, there were a few things we figured out extensively about Brioni’s shirts. That was the fancy-striped shirt that he wears on the train in Montenegro.Ĭonsidering the fact that Brosnan’s Bond was almost exclusively dressed in solid shirtings, it’s a rather sudden departure into something almost uncharacteristic. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Raccoon007, who many readers may know through his Goldeneye wardrobe endeavour, to hear that he inquired to Brioni about a particular Daniel Craig garment. It’s a luxurious Bond lifestyle moment and undeniably one of the highlight moments of the film.
