Photo: KCETYears before he became James Bond, Daniel Craig played physicist Werner Heisenberg in the play Copenhagen, later adapted for television by the BBC and KCET Los Angeles.
Craig's dress is neither Brioni nor Tom Ford. He is wearing a 1940's style suit in a three button jacket rolled to the top and a V neck sweater.
The cloth is lighter now but it is a sign of the glacial pace at which men's clothing evolves that some men are buying suits of that same cut today.

Interesting no breast pocket. Was that the style?

Neophyte question: The suit is described as "rolled to the top." What does that mean?
The lapels roll to the top button as opposed, for example, to the second one.
Good find!
The lack of breast pocket is very interesting; was that occasionally the style of German or Austrian suits of that era?
The lack of breast pockect may have nothing to do with the period. Costume clothing is often made without minor details to save money.
Speaking of TV and clothes, I've been watching a 1940s period drama recently (Foyle's War, from a few years ago) and noticed that none of the suits had vents - wondering if that was the style, or another result of costume clothing.
'Rolled to the top' looks interesting. Could you have an entry and comment on the latest Pink Panther movie where Steve Martin wears what appear to be 4 button rolled to the top with such small lapels they look like butcher coats?
Not if I have to watch the movie. :-)
