If you bought the Turnbull & Asser Limited Edition Casino Royale Shirt, could you please provide photos of the shirt, and your opinions on it, I can't decide if I should get it for Christmas or not.

Thanks

MrBig

P.S If you are looking for a tie that looks similar to the one worn by Bond on the train when he meets Vesper, look here: New & Lingwood Silk Tie

I'm sure Mantis will have a lot to say on this topic. Have you seen his article here Big?

I saw his article which was called "Better pictures of the T&A shirt" or something like that, I just wanted to get a wide range of opinions.

One of the things I've collected throughout the decades has been licensed clothing: shirts, shoes, etc., provided they had some type of Bond labelling. That, combined with there being very little official CR merchandise (plus the historic connection of T&A to 007) were sufficient reason for me. I certainly didn't buy it because it's attractive (I actually don't care for the design) or have any intention of ever wearing it.

That said, I think it's an awfully expensive souvenir. Had there been more of the standard merchandising we associate with the films (and, given the success of CR, more of what we'll probably see with Bond 22), I don't know that I would have bothered. On a personal level, there is a certain thrill to owning a T&A garment, but relative to my collection overall, it's something of an "also ran."
