Anderson & Sheppard Bespoke Tailors

What It’s Like: Bond always looks effortlessly dapper in a fitted suit. Founded in 1906, Anderson & Sheppard sets the standard for bespoke tailoring (even Tom Ford is a current customer). It offers an array of fine fabrics, like tweeds from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland—many exclusive to the store.

The Bond Factor: While Ian Fleming intentionally never said who James Bond’s tailor was, Anderson & Sheppard is rumored to be an inspiration; the century-old boutique was even referenced in Fleming’s novel Thunderball (1961) as being frequented by Count Lippe, one of Bond’s adversaries.

Price Tag: Two-piece suits start at $4,700.
