Roger Moore – The Most Stylish James Bond?

The curse of 2016-2017 continues to dominate the celebrity world, this time coming with the sad news of the death of Sir Roger Moore.

Best known for his role as James Bond during the years 1973-1985, Moore is one of the most well-known Bonds of all time. Moore’s Bond career includes some of the iconic films such as Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and a View to Kill (1985).

Along with his unquestionably suave demeanor, Moore will be remembered as the most enduring actor to play the secret intelligence officer. Becoming a prodigious ambassador for franchise over the years, Moore will always be remembered at a James Bond great.

In memory of the late and great Moore, GQ have written a blog ‘Why Roger Moore was the most stylish Bond’.

Yes, Sean Connery had that iconic flannel jumpsuit in Goldfinger. Yes, Daniel Craig‘s strong-shouldered Tom Ford suits and tab-collar shirts are superbly sleek. But no Bond has had more personality in the way he dressed than Moore’s.

Barbour Commander Jacket in Navy

Ever since it arrived in-store, the Barbour Commander Jacket has flew off the shelves even after multiple re-stocks. Part of their newly formed “Department B” range that focuses on recreating intricate remakes of archived designs, the Commander Jacket perfectly executes how a mens jacket should look and it has now been recreated in a brand new Navy colour way and looks as good as ever.

Created very closely in line with a jacket worn by Daniel Craig in Skyfall, the Commander Jacket utilises 6oz Sylkoil for a signature wax finish that is complimented by Barbour’s signature tartan lining. Leather trim at the sleeves and functional button down pockets and placket gives an authentic feel that pays homage to Barbour’s classic style. Unique yet understated features are aplenty on the Navy Commander Jacket, with a multi-purpose collar that can be buttoned up or layered down for a tailored look that works in conjunction with a leather neck piece that can be detached for an even simpler look and finish.

The Commander Jacket justifies its popularity thanks to its easy to wear look and style that is culminated through heritage detailing and looks better than ever in a Dark Navy colour way.
