These Tactical Suits Would Make James Bond Proud

‘Elegance is what we weaponize’

Dress for the job you want, they say.

If that job is international superspy, we’ve got you covered. Tactically and sartorially.

Give a strong welcome to Grayman and Company, a bespoke tailor that specializes in dapper suiting for precarious situations, available now.

A mix of high-end tailoring and tactical know-how, Grayman & Co. live by an “elegance is what we weaponize” ethos. While previously targeting professionals in military, security and law enforcement, anyone can commission one of their defense-first suits, which are classically tailored and decidedly unflashy.

The best features here? They’re hidden. Think military-spec ripstop pockets, covert waistband pockets sewn in at the 11 and 1 o’clock positions (to better carry handguns, lock picks and knives) and commo loops on the cuffs and collar area for wire management. As well, the suit is crafted from a breathable, flexible Loro Piana fabric with plenty of stretch.

Why would a person need all this? Because Daniel Craig apparently destroyed 40 bespoke Tom Ford suits during the shoot for Quantum of Solace.

For a little extra scratch, you can customize the suit with cut-resistant sleeves, roll-up surgeon cuffs, RFID shield pockets and a draw-assist pocket (so the jacket sweeps clear of the holster while you quick-draw).

Some bonuses: if you’re in the military or private security, you may be eligible for a discount. And if you need something extra special, a bespoke concierge will work with you and the experts on Savile Row to tailor something more to your liking.
