you guys can get a good idea here. It looks like the suede Tetbury or Chiltern by C&J. I could be wrong.
Now that you post the enlarged photo, it is certainly not the Tetbury or Chiltern. It's a derby shoe, perhaps even with a cap toe. It resembles the Norwich, and it may be a custom order in suede.
It does have a cap toe and I'm beginning to wonder if its actually an oxford.
It is tight, but "way too tight" may be an exaggeration. It is lightweight, so creases show very easily. If the coat were buttoned up it would certainly look neater since the creases are mostly a result of the top of the coat collapsing.
This photo from the daily mail shows that it's definitely a boot. Looks like you can see the second (top) buckle on his right leg, but I may be imagining it...
Also it doesn't look like the Camberley because I can't see the stitching across the toe
Look harder and you'll see the toe cap stitching. I saw another photo where the stitching was more noticeable, but I can make it out here.
Annoyingly they definitely look like the Camberley.
I had a pair of those on in black 2 weeks ago and decided they were a bit too similar to my Tetbury's so bought some suede boots instead!!
The sunglasses look a lot like Tom Ford Snowdon in Shiny Black. I know it's a dangerous path, trying to ID Bond's sunglasses, but that's my guess at this point. B-)

probably made the right decision, they look like something a Leprechaun would wear.
There has to be a second strap under the trousers. Just one strap on a boot so low isn't going to keep it on.

I really like these boots and I think they're an excellent choice. Boots with a suit brings back Connery's style (though monk straps instead of elastic), and monk shoes were something Brosnan occasionally wore. Connery had a pair of brown single-monk boots in Diamonds Are Forever. It also honour's Fleming's Bond, who abhorred laces. They're dressier than Tetburys and thus better with a suit. They fit in perfectly with Bond's shoe history whilst bringing something new.
I can't say I'm a big fan of the coat - particularly, the lapels.
The ulster collar is meant to be practical rather than stylish; it is designed to close all the way to the top, which peaked lapels can't do very effectively. This coat is essentially greatcoat, similar to what Daniel Craig wears in Quantum of Solace or Roger Moore wears in The Spy Who Loved Me. It's not as dressy as a chesterfield, like Roger Moore wears in Live and Let Die, or a guards coat, like Pierce Brosnan wears in Die Another Day, or really any double-breasted coat with peaked lapels. A dressier coat would have been better suited for a funeral, but he certainly isn't inappropriately dressed in this greatcoat. The only thing I don't like about this coat is that it's a little too tight, though some of that could be fixed by fastening more buttons.
I feel strange defending something Daniel Craig is wearing!
This is what I hate about TF stuff like this. They even use Wayfarer in the title. What a total rip.
Couldn't agree more. Sell the clothes and leave the rest to the others, don't copy. Well said
When I saw Tom Ford do a live talk a few years ago he mentioned how popular his sunglasses and fragrances are, since nobody can afford his clothes. Though his clothes are very unique, people just buy the sunglasses because they can't afford his clothes. James Bond can certainly do better than wear a name!

I can live with TF suits being in Bond as long as the style is influenced by traditional Bond. I don't like these shirts he's started wearing since SF. Tabs and pins are not Bond. Big mistake.
As far as TF accessories. I have no respect for the brand whatsoever. It's not even a case of paying for quality. You're throwing loads of money at a name too. Names should be earned through quality alone, not because of the name. Too many high end brands that earned their name through making quality products have sold out over recent years and are cruising on name alone. TF isn't even one of those yet and he's doing it already. It's the celebrity culture and the bubble will burst.

Totally agree on the tabs and pins. They're not Bond. Not sure who's decision they are? Costume Designer? TF? or even DC?

Tom Ford loves the collar pins. I have nothing against them, they just aren't for Bond. I never saw Craig in a tab collar before Skyfall, so I'm guessing it's the costume designer. Tab collars are cool, but they are not right for Bond.
Agreed. After looking at the pictures, it does appear to be the Wayfarer...but until we have a more hi-res image and/or confirmation that it's the wayfarer model, it's pure speculation.

I am assuming its all TF except shoes.
From the photos here (http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/bond-24-report-20150218-rome-photocall?t=&s=&id=03851) you are right that the shoes are oxfords. They are not the C&J Lonsdale since they only have five eyelets.
It is tight, but "way too tight" may be an exaggeration. It is lightweight, so creases show very easily. If the coat were buttoned up it would certainly look neater since the creases are mostly a result of the top of the coat collapsing.
You must have better eyesight than me Matt! Will defer to your better judgement
The coat. The sunglasses. The suit. The watch. The shoes.
So exciting!
We're certainly an excitable bunch at times
reminds me of the coat, RM wore in LALD, in NYC
Agree AS. I thought Roger looked great in that outfit. DC looks good but I'm disappointed by the collar pin
Annoyingly they definitely look like the Camberley.

Going to look at these in person in just a few minutes. Will report back.

Could it be the TF Hugh framed sunglasses?

I checked out TF's site. I think these are the TF Wayfarers.
