I wasn’t suggesting they sewed in a Quintino label. Jeezus. Why would they do that. My point is that the London Lounge screen capture of the label was vaue, and you could not clearly see “Quintino” or any other tailor’s name. My point was that was it was a wardrobe designation. I have no idea what it actually said because the screen capture is unreadable. The London Lounge seems or thinks otherwise, that it said Quintino. To my mind no way. CG was a lifelong patron of Savile Row. Kilgour, Hawees & Curtis etc. The suits were cut flawlessly. My opinion is that I seriously doubt Quintino could have cut a suit to his precise specifications the way Savile had been doing for him for decades.

Your theory that the wardrobe department may have sewn in a Quintino label to identify one of seven suits seems something of a reach. But I have no personal acquaintance with the styles and workmanship of either firm in that particular period which was before my time. I will, however, slightly rephrase, indicating that your being mistaken is only my personal opinion.

It is an amusing project, leading to entertaining arguments, trying to identify its provenance.

Glad to hear from you.

Cheers,

This silly business of drawing conclulsions by freeze framing on a brief glimpse of an unreadable label is pure silliness. There were seven suits used in the film. How do you think the continuity people and wardrobe department kept track of them. By sewing in labels.

A knowledge of film making is equally important as a knowledge of tailoring in determing these matters.

As for Quintino, they probably made back-up suits, repairs, alterations, and suits for the stuntmen and other actors. No way they could cut a suit that exquistely.
