This is possibly the John Lobb “Sandon” model, a chukka boot available in dark brown circa 2006. The shoes are likely John Lobb, as he also wears Lobb Luffields in the casino scene. What’s the problem here? A black belt and brown shoes? Even dads know not to do that. However, Bond does make a faux pas with his shoes, wearing a pair of dark brown suede 2-eyelet derby-laced chukka boots. If you can go to the Bahamas and get a Victoria’s Secret model to do a double-take, then you can decide what he wears next time. He’s not wearing a tie, and it’s a casual suit, so let him wear a shirt that looks good. First off, Bond is a fictional character so let’s all just take a step back. Some have vehemently complained that the short-sleeve shirt is also too “un-Bond”. The epaulettes (or “shoulder straps”, in British parlance) give Bond’s shirt a military touch.

Final details include 4-button cuffs and a full lining, also unusual for a linen suit. As I mentioned, the jacket has a large fit with a full chest, accentuated by the straight shoulders and roped sleeveheads. The cool sea breeze blows through rear double vents, keeping Bond cool. The hip pockets are flapped and straight. The jacket has large peak lapels, which roll down to the center button of the 3-button front. Matt Spaiser also wrote about this suit previously on The Suits of James Bond. Unusual for linen, Bond arrives in Nassau wearing a light gray two-piece suit. Let’s cut him some slack! What’d He Wear? Some complain that the suit’s fit, especially the jacket, is too bulky, but Bond is just getting used to refinement and luxury. Bond steps off the plane looking like a million bucks in a sharp suit that is a rare find for many reasons. Nor does his arrival give that impression.

Given that overnight stays at the One and Only rarely fall under $1,000 per night, this is hardly a man who is really giving too much concern about the prospect of unemployment.

Appropriately, given the history of the Bond canon, our hero heads for the Bahamas via a chartered flight, booking a spur-of-the-moment villa at The One and Only Ocean Club.
