McQueen’s legendary suit worn in the 1960’s film The Thomas Crown Affair is a medium grey three-piece suit with a muted glen plaid check pattern. The grey suit has hints of blue. Saville Row’s Douglas Hayward created the suit with classic British tailoring. Hayward  was the “tailor to the stars” during this era that also lent his hand to a few Roger Moore suits during his Bond era,

The jacket is single-breasted two-button front with notch lapel. Long side vents and fishtail-styled cuff with one large button on the sleeve and with roped sleeve-heads and a well-suppressed waist to present a strong silhouette.

There is a straight flapped side pocket and a dove grey silk handkerchief rakishly puffed in his breast pocket, known as an “Astaire”.

The waistcoat is a five-button single breasted and has a straight bottom. The trousers have side adjuster tabs, plain front and plain bottom.
