•    The Suits of James Bond   

    http://bondclothes.blogspot.com/

    This guy analyzes the suits (and other clothing options) James Bond wears in all the (22 “official” movies, produced by EON productions, 5 others) James Bond movies, with detours into the sartorial selections Sean Connery wears in other movies such as the tweed suit in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”.

    This may seem like ultimate nerdism filtered by Tim Gunn, but you end up learning about men’s fashions, the functional needs met by ensembles such as riding outfits, the origins of tweeds, and what the props in various Bond movies sold for at auction. In other words, the Internet was invented to make sure we know the difference between traditional British forward pleated suit pants and plain flat front, or that a semi-formal day wedding in the UK would feature a style called “Black Lounge”, with a jacket Americans call a “stroller” in place of the more traditional (to us) cutaway.
