However, the hand-painted work is excellent. The shirt and tie do not appear to be up to Bond’s usual quality standards, but this is only for a costume. The length of the tie doesn’t matter because the ends are hidden under the coat. It must have been tied before being painted and then slipped onto Daniel Craig’s neck. The black satin silk tie has white, hand-painted bones to complete the jacket’s skeleton. Under the coat, Bond wears a black sateen shirt that has a short semi-spread collar with quarter-inch stitching, button cuffs, a plain front and silvery buttons. But the coat’s dark colour and constant movement of both Craig and the camera disguise this, so it’s only a problem if one pauses the film at certain points. In some shots, Daniel Craig’s abdomen appears to stick out more than his chest does, which isn’t a flattering look. It overall has a straighter cut than Daniel Craig’s suit jackets in Spectre have, but the flare of the skirt gives it the shape it lacks in the torso.
A lack of darts in the front mean that this coat has a little distortion in the front because the tailor tried to give it a little more shape than the coat’s cut allows. The collar doesn’t always hug the neck and the shoulders are too narrow. The fit is better than the Tom Ford suit coats in the film, but it’s not without problems. The white skeleton is hand-painted on the front, back and sleeves. The coat has a fly front with hidden buttons, a welt breast pocket, slanted jetted pockets on the hips and a single vent in skirt that starts below the buttocks. It is mid-calf length with a flared skirt. The black coat is lightweight in cloth and construction but is cut like an Chesterfield overcoat. You had to see his eyes in close up - Daniel’s eyes are very recognisable. I then found a top hat and we had a mask specially made because it had to be articulated. We fitted different coats on him before I found an early twentieth century coat that we remade before painting on the skeleton. He had to look like James Bond in a crowd. For Spectre‘s Day of the Dead festival, James Bond channels the Live and Let Die henchman Baron Samedi in a skeleton-themed costume to blend in amongst the festivities in Mexico City.Ĭostume designer Jany Temime based this costume’s coat off of a vintage piece, as she told Christies: On Saturday, Mexico City held its first Day of the Dead parade inspired by the events the opened Spectre. Happy Halloween to those who celebrate! Tomorrow starts the Dia de los Muertos-or Day of the Dead-festival in Mexico, approximately one year after it was featured in Spectre.
