This is a little part of Bond's wardrobe that's seldom discussed, have we ever ID'ed any socks he's worn? I know London sock co. supplied socks he wore at the Spectre premiere but the ones on film look chunkier. I always liked the grey socks he wore with the Churches Ryder's in QOS.
Pantherella claims they worked with the styling team. I can post the zillions of behind the scenes photos I have, but need I see more?

Not doubting you however we have had quite A LOT of designers claim to provide clothes for Bond and it turned out not to be the case (Production prob purchased but ended up using an alternative in these cases)
e.g. ACNE Beanie (Another company also provided Beanies for SPECTRE but it was clear by their hat it was not the one Bond used)
If I remember rightly Sunspel was mentioned for SPECTRE underwear so guess poss socks, unless TF supplied!
A question for Jany to clearup maybe since follows Bondclothing on Instagram?
Sunspel sells socks? I figured that they're probably TF but of course we don't know for sure. I just noticed that they're not your usual thin dress socks but look chunkier.
I assumed they did lol. Im sure I've bought a pair in the past
Notice on Instagram Pantherella don't really say they provided Bonds socks, just worked with a stylist. That could mean anything really, as a lot of cast to provide clothes. Only Jany can confirm 100%

Not strictly Spectre however, the Sunspel t-shirt worn by Bond in Casino Royale in the morning after dealing with Obanno and his Lieutenant (stair fight) is currently on sale at the Sunspel website (£65.00 down to £40.00) with free delivery (U.K.) until midnight on Monday 31st August:
When she commented on one of my IG posts with the Morocco post train look, she stated the trousers were TF not BC. So take that however you wish ....
Yeah thats the problem - think costume designers themselves forget the details, think we have seen this a few times in the past
Tom Ford clearly provided production with a Tan suit (its in the Tom Ford SPECTRE buy book) however it did not make the film. Im guessing this is most likely the suit that was to
Be used for Morocco but DC and Co changed their minds
Hey, at least we got a confirmation that he wore Sunspel underwear in Skyfall too. I never knew that! Now I can finally complete my skyfall outfits ) except for the damn socks still being questionable. But, the way I see it, if Sunspel is good enough for his... never mind ) great work gents! -{
Jany mentioned to me in my chat with her for TBE that she thought that the trousers were TF, but she couldn't be sure. I think that she has trouble sometimes remembering which wardrobe choices she has made. Understandable given the enormity of choice she has.

When Bond's in the torture chair there's a close-up shot of the C&J Norwich and you can see that his socks don't have the same vertical lines of the above Pantherella socks, doesn't mean it cant be another pair of theirs though.

The Pantherella socks are only for the Q scene.

Bond's darkest secret revealed. As a true British secret agent - he shops at M&S for his socks!
They do not have Spectre SA version still in stock though. We could approach and ask if they would do a re-run, but I guess their minimum order might be in the thousands.
How did I do you guys? Too hot for the jacket but the train outfit is complete.
Very well done sir -{ what are the shirt and pants?
Shirt- Orlebar Brown Blue Linen (I forgot the exact model as I threw away the tag but it's the one used in the movie)
Pants- Dockers Alpha Khaki Dark Pebble Slim Tapered (Unbelievable fit. Never had pants fit this well off the rack. Slim for sure but not skinny and flatters the body rather than makes me look like I skipped leg day). I'd describe them as a happy medium between a 513 and 511 Levis.

Strange how she avoided question about socks
