A suit worn by James Bond as he chased a villain across rooftops in Istanbul is up for sale.
The grey, custom-made Tom Ford suit worn by Daniel Craig in Skyfall, his four film as Bond, is being auctioned with hopes it will fetch as much as £40,000.
It is part of a collection of 400 lots spanning each film in the Bond franchise. Other items include costumes, rare posters, books and collectables linked to the British secret agent.
It comes with a matching branded shirt, as well as a tie and cufflinks.

The sale also includes a complete set of 14 first edition and first impression Bond books written by Ian Fleming and published by Jonathan Cape, which bring together all 12 novels in the espionage series along with two short story collections.
Each volume has been rebound in leather and its design is based on its original cover artwork. The books will be sold as a collection with an estimated value of between £20,000 and £40,000.

Meanwhile, an special effects model unit of a clapperboard used for miniature-effects sequences in 1983 Bond film Octopussy – starring Roger Moore as the spy – expects to sell for £4,000 to £8,000.
The online-only auction is currently open until Oct 27 for bidding, and is available to collectors worldwide.
Alastair McCrea, director of consignments at Propstore, said: “Bond has meant something to generations of film fans, and I’ve loved curating this collection.
“Reviewing and appraising the costumes, posters, books and production pieces has been a wonderful reminder of how much there is to discover across the films.”
The Bond franchise launched in 1953 with the publication of Fleming’s first novel and the first film, Dr No, was released in 1962 with Sean Connery as the title character.
The films have experienced more than six decades of success with Craig the most recent star to play Bond, but he stepped down from the role after 2021 film No Time To Die.
