How much do you think the original outfit costs? Six thousand? Seven? The sweater and shirt are from Ralph Lauren Purple label and the boots are Ralph Lauren. The Jeans are Scotch and Soda and the watch is, of course, Omega. The watch is the lion share of the total, but still. Daniel Craig’s Saturday afternoon outfit is drifting dangerously close to entry level Harley pricing.

Don’t kid yourself, it’s the boots that make the outfit. The warm medium brown / almost tan color really stands out against all the blue. These don’t go quite as far up , but unless you’re casually sipping a drink while sitting cross legged on the floor, nobody’s going to notice. A cheaper option: The Steve Madden Bristole
Lightweight, raglan sleeves, and a shade of blue that’s slightly darker than medium blue jeans. To quote the immortal master of poetry Meatloaf, two outta three ain’t bad. Crewnecks are starting to come back into favor but there’s still more Vs out there than anything. Don’t be afraid to dress up a slim sweatshirt or even a long sleeve tee by layering it with a button up. Ships free with UNTUCKED and pin 1145. A pricier option: The J. Crew Merino wool.
It’s untucked. That’s why the Express 1MX despite all its flaws is the right play here. The 1MX is short enough in the tail that you can wear it untucked. “Horizon” is the perfect shade of light blue. Wait for a sale or get on their snail mail list for their monthly $15 off $30 coupon cards.
Looks like there’s a bit of distressing on these (check out the knees.) We also need yellow stitching and not grey this time. You don’t want a deep rinse, nor do you want stone wash either (you really don’t want stonewash). Levi’s 501 in “Mid Shift” is pretty close. A cheaper option: L.E.C. Slim Fit in 1-year for $14.99, but there’s fraying at the cuffs.
They say match your leathers, so some might say Criag’s stylist’s watch band choice is off. Two things… First, so what. It’s a real casual look. And second, it’s probably a rubber strap. You can easily bend the rules with a rubber strap. Plus the boot soles look close to black. There’s a pic on Page 80 that gives you a better idea as to what the watch looks like. Silver case, black dial, looks to be a chrono. Not a problem that the Victorinox isn’t a chrono. The price is more than right, and it’s sold direct by Amazon. That’s key. (Another option, this Seiko for $140)
Too bad it’s hard to find single old fashioned glasses (these are double.) The drink is light enough that it could be Jameson, and the textured glass gives it a real antique feel. On sale for $50 through Macy’s.
