James Bond in No Time to Die, 2021 — as worn by Daniel Craig

In Matera, during the early Italian passage before the violence of the mission returns, James Bond walks uphill through the stone streets toward the hotel with Madeleine Swann at his side.

The scene

In Matera, during the early Italian passage before the violence of the mission returns, James Bond walks uphill through the stone streets toward the hotel with Madeleine Swann at his side. The trousers belong to the quieter stretch of the sequence rather than the later car chase: a sunlit approach through the old city, with Bond moving at an unhurried pace in civilian clothes instead of tactical dress, the pale grey corduroy reading softly against the warm limestone of the setting.

That choice of trousers helps place Bond in a rare off-duty register. The cut is relaxed but still disciplined, and the subdued grey tone keeps the look grounded in the lived-in atmosphere of Matera rather than turning it into a formal travel costume. In this moment he is not performing espionage for an audience or dressing for ceremony; he is walking with a woman he trusts, carrying the temporary calm of a relationship that the film is about to fracture.

On screen, the trousers register through movement as much as through detail. The fine wale corduroy catches the light without glare, giving the fabric a dry, matte texture that suits the dusty stone backdrop and the Mediterranean afternoon. Framed in full-body walking shots and medium two-shots with Madeleine, they anchor the lower half of the outfit with a muted line that keeps Bond visually integrated with the town, the hotel approach, and the film’s brief illusion of peace.

Archive — the object

Massimo Alba founded his Milan label in 2006 after earlier work in Italian textiles and garment dyeing, and the house’s menswear is built around softly structured tailoring and washed fabrics made in Italy. The Winch trouser identified with No Time to Die belongs to that vocabulary: a casual tailored model produced in baby corduroy, with Bond-focused documentation tying the screen-used version to model code T0301 U809.

Publicly available product notes describe the trouser as being made from fine baby corduroy and manufactured in Italy. Bond-focused costume documentation identifies the on-screen pair as the Winch Corduroy Trousers in the Massimo Alba color Alluminio, a pale aluminium grey. The same documentation links the trousers to Bond’s Matera walking outfit and notes the accompanying MAX2 belt, confirming the trousers as part of the Italian off-duty look rather than the sand corduroy suit used elsewhere in Matera.

The specific screen version is the grey baby-cord variant documented as Alluminio. That version differs from other Massimo Alba trousers worn in the film, including the black Mauko style used in Norway, and from the Sloop suit trousers used in the DB5 chase. The Winch pair is the softer, lighter casual option used for the romantic Matera passage with Madeleine Swann.

Massimo Alba’s current online assortment still includes the Winch line in updated forms, with WINCH2 trousers listed on the brand’s official site, which places this model line within the label’s continuing core offer.
