Tom Ford Navy Fine-Wool Buckley "James Bond" Suit
54 IT / 44 US / Extra Large
Curator's Description
Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Tom Ford navy Buckley suit, tailored from fine wool in a clean, contemporary silhouette with a cinematic edge. This version features slim notch lapels, a detail rarely seen in Ford’s tailoring but made memorable through its appearance in the James Bond films. The jacket is fully lined with a single rear vent, finished with sharp roped shoulders and a two-button closure. Trousers are flat-fronted with a close fit through the leg and side adjusters at the waist, delivering a polished, streamlined look.
The Buckley cut, also known as Base E, is one of Tom Ford’s slimmer tailoring blocks. Introduced in the Spring Summer 2016 collection as the successor to Base V, it offers a shorter jacket length with medium-width lapels and a narrower shoulder profile. The fit is close through the waist and trousers, designed to flatter without restricting movement. While most Buckley jackets are partially lined to enhance comfort and breathability, this model is fully lined for added structure and a more formal finish.
True to the house’s approach, this suit pairs technical precision with sharp visual impact. Every line is considered, every detail deliberate. It is a confident, modern take on classic tailoring, made for those who value presence without excess. Discover the elaborated sartorial details below.

Sartorial Details
Full Canvas Construction
A sartorial jacket - or coat - needs an interlining that will help give it shape and mold it. Canvas gives the item a tailored and crafted look. In short, it breathes life into it. Purely technical, canvas is made from either horsehair, wool, mohair or camel hair. It could also be a mix of them all, with varying thickness and weight. The canvas is stitched to the jacket, often by hand, thus making the canvas pieces 'floating' in the middle of the inner and outer cloth. This gives the jacket added flexibility. The canvas runs from the upper parts, all the way down to the end of the jacket. After you wear your canvassed suit for a while, it will begin to take your shape and look incredibly natural.
Roped Shoulders
A roped shoulder - or sleeve - head describes the bumped shape or ridge of the sleeve’s attachment to the shoulder. The higher it is, the more imposing the shoulder line appears. This can often be found in iconic British tailoring.
Long Milanese Buttonhole
The elegant, longer brother of the Milanese. With its thin and extra long gimp cord inside, this is one of the most challenging buttonholes to make by hand. Even a highly skilled tailor will take about 20 minutes to finish it.
Two-Button Closure
The jacket has a two-button closure which keeps the profile neat.
Barchetta Chest Pocket
The barchetta chest pocket is not only curved and blunted, as in the southern Italian style, but the corner is rounder right off.
Darts
The tailors adds two darts - think of them as pinched seams - to ensure the jacket’s body achieves a slim silhouette. The process, called mezzo punto riprese, is done entirely by hand.
Imitation Buttonholes
These buttonholes are temporarily stitched, designed specifically to be easily removed by your tailor. This thoughtful detail allows you the flexibility to adjust sleeve length precisely before finalizing the buttonholes, ensuring a perfectly personalized fit. Pro tip: Always opt for handmade buttonholes after adjusting your sleeves - they elevate the elegance and craftsmanship of your garment.
Flap Pockets
This was originally supposed to keep debris from getting into jacket pockets when worn in the country. Flap pockets occupy a sort of middle ground in terms of formality: they are the main choice for business suits, but they can also appear on sport coats as a testament to their casual origins.
the details of
the trousers
Flat Front
Flat-front trousers are a go-to for a modern, clean look. They became popular in the 1960s and 1970s when fashion started leaning towards simpler, more streamlined styles. Unlike pleated pants, flat fronts have no extra fabric at the waist, giving them a sleek appearance that's perfect for a slimmer silhouette. They fit right into both casual and business casual settings, making them incredibly versatile. As a result, they are a favorite for anyone looking to maintain a contemporary vibe in their wardrobe.
Side Adjusters
Side adjusters are a stylish alternative to belts, offering a clean look without the need for additional accessories. These adjusters are typically small buckles or tabs located on each side of the waistband, allowing you to tighten or loosen the trousers for a perfect fit. Popular in bespoke tailoring and high-end menswear, side adjusters provide a sleek and polished appearance. They are particularly favored in formal and semi-formal settings, as they maintain the silhouette of the trousers without the bulk of a belt.
Plain, Blind Hem
The plain, blind hem is a sophisticated and subtle finishing technique that provides a clean and polished look to trousers. This type of hem involves folding the fabric under and securing it with stitches that are nearly invisible from the outside, creating a smooth and uninterrupted line. It is a popular choice for dress trousers and formalwear, where maintaining a seamless appearance is key. The plain, blind hem combines the simplicity of a plain hem with the elegance of hidden stitching, making it ideal for professional and elegant attire.
