I contacted Magnoli about making up the grey Skyfall suit. I sent him the Prince of Wales pattern that Mantis had posted early in this thread and this was his reply.
The price will depend on the fabric and details. I've got a high res image of the original suit and the pattern is more subtle than a typical Prince of Wales check. Regardless, here are some options from our regular price range:
199: 9.5oz Super 150s wool blend in light grey Prince of Wales
2026: 10oz wool blend in Oxford grey Prince of Wales
2027: 8.5oz wool blend in silver sharkskin
12006: 9.5oz Super 150s wool/silk blend in Silver tone-on-tone subtle windowpane
With any of the above fabrics, and pick-stitched lapels, etc, the price will be $530 (shipped). Of the above, I think the 2027 is the closest choice.
Kind regards,
Indy
I’m not an expert on this but to me the Skyfall suit pattern looks different than the 2027 swatch and different form the Prince of Wales pattern.
What do you guys think?

Does he realize the sharkskin suit and prince of wales suits are two different suits in the film? It sounds like he thinks you are talking about the light grey sharkskin suit.

That could very well be the problem. Do you have a picture of the Prince of Wales suit from the film? Thanks!
an e-mail from christopherforbesshoes:
C&J won't confirm which boot it is (and won't until Skyfall is released) but we strongly think its the Islay.

pockets.co...has the best price but no shoes in stock
Wow - 4 pairs of shoes, thats some endorsement for C&J!!
Im guessing the Alex shoes are worn with his Tux!
The Alex shoes may very well be in the movie but I know for a fact that it's the shoes DC wore for the James Bond skit with the Queen for the Olympics. This has been confirmed to me by my contact at C&J before they released this advert.

Def Islay in my opinion.
Def not Skye - wrong soles for a start!
Check out the sole on the C&J website. The Bronze Calf boots come only with the Dainite Ridgeway sole (see below).
However Craig is definitely wearing the standard "Stud" style Dainite Soles. These come with the Islay model but only in Dark Brown.
In one pic they look like Bronze and the pic via Mantis they look like dark brown

Certainly looks more like the Dark Brown Islay's to me.
Yup I agree however in the other pic (Bond crouching by the Aston) they look more like the other colour
