I am looking at purchasing a suit and shirt made by Magnoli Clothiers as replicas to a Skyfall suit and shirt. Has anyone had any experience with their products? Are they a decent quality for the price?

Have you looked into Baron Boutique?
Perhaps someone can tell us which is better between the two.
I've bought a number of items from Magnoli, mainly cosplay stuff like my Han Solo outfits.
I've had great luck with the cotton based items. The quality has been good and the measurements have been spot on for bespoke items. They all look and feel great.
I've had mixed luck on leather items in terms of quality and fit. The good news is that the customer service with Magnoli is excellent and I've had all of my issues addressed (returned some, replaced others).
I'll absolutely keep shopping with Magnoli but I'll stick to cotton based clothing going forward.
I have not heard of Baron Boutique. I will look into them.
Thank you for the information. I am looking at getting a suit, shirt and tie made to match the Granborough scene from Skyfall.
Also take a look into Indochino.com
I've bought a few suits from Baron Boutique. Their Quantum Suit in charcoal and I also got it in another colour which is what the brad Pitt Oceans 11 suit is based on. Both arrived and fit perfectly. The only downside I would say is that the shoulders are a little bit over stuffed. But that can be changed. They're a bit too square for my liking, which is more like an Italian suit shape.
I have bought a lot from Magnoli, Ties, some ready made bits and got a Skyfall Istanbul suit from Ebay which wasn't made for me, but fit and looked good. The problem I had with Magnoli was getting something made from scratch. You're the guinea pig if you want something new made and it as a bit of an issue. First one the colour was wrong and the sizing was off. Second one was better but too short on the body making the shirt look boxy. Not flattering at all. For their prices, Baron Boutique are really good and happy to work with you on anything you want. They can also dye clothing to any colour you want.
Between Magnoli and Baron I’d go Baron for tailoring, they’re both good but in price and quality Baron is better and more willing to work with you on things.
Either are much better than indochino which are overpriced and low quality.
In terms of suiting I recommend finding a good suit tailor and show him/her exactly what you want, rather then doing it online. My experience have been less then ideal, as you really do need to have several fittings in-person for a suit to fit you correctly. This is a compromise you have to make for an online experience that can lead to a less then ideal outcome.
I wanted a Kingsman style double-breasted traditional British cut suit for my wedding, and I bite the bullet and had it custom made by a reputable tailor. The cost wasn't anywhere as high as I thought it would be, and boy after that experience, there's no going back to online order. I had 2 fittings after the original measurements that are absolutely essential, and also slight alterations made that made massive improvements to the wearability of the suit. The outcome was a perfectly made suit that I know I will wear for a long long time (providing I maintain my physique!) This is something a suit ordered online simply cannot replicate.
It looks like Magnoli the only one that makes a good replica of the 3 piece Spectre Rome suit?
Baron will do any of the bond suits if you email them, they used to have the Rome suit and several Craig suits on their old site but haven’t had to make them again which is when I assume they’d take pictures and add them to their site.
Also although I understand fittings and going bespoke does produce a better fitting suit not everyone has a good tailor available to them. Most local tailors by me for instance essentially just do made to measure but in person, unless they specialize in menswear tailoring they’re not doing anything super special.
Baron by sending you a muslin test fitting essentially does a hybrid in person fitting online tailoring method which I think is great. And they’ve been doing menswear tailoring for over a decade at least
