Bond knows his suits. This list aside, he's usually decked out in the finest tailoring.
Which makes his morning suit gaffs in Licence To Kill more offensive than all the times he shot someone in the face and said something like "Guess I just shot you in the face, lol" put together.
People who take this sort of thing seriously HATE this outfit.
According to TheSuitsOfJamesBond.com...
"The collar stands away from the neck and the back just looks sloppy overall.
"It is properly cut with a 1-button front that cuts away to the tails in the back.
"It includes a waist seam, proper of body coats. Other details include peak lapels, a breast pocket—which not all morning coats have—and 3-button cuffs.
"The buttons are grey plastic.
"However, there is one big problem with this morning coat: the colour.
"A morning coat that is part of a suit can be mid to light grey like Roger Moore’s morning suit is.
"But when it’s part of the more traditional and more formal morning dress, it should only be black or dark grey.
"The mid grey of Dalton’s morning coat isn’t formal enough to match the formality of the rest of the outfit."
This is all clearly unforgiveable.

To be fair on Moore ( crazy I know), what else is a SPY supposed to wear on a camel in the middle of a deaert? I think a tuxedo would stand out somewhat!

To be fair, in Licence to Kill, the reason Bond's wearing that suit is because he's the best man at a wedding, and the main men at a wedding wear the same suit. So a little forgiveness is in order.

I'm pretty sure the You only Live Twice bit is from the novel, it's not Connery's fault the book Bond is a bit easier to blend in :p
