Due to urhash gauging interest in the TWINE pattern has lead to Magnoli contacting me about various tie patterns. I do have the original pattern tie from Tomorrow Never Dies used in the Carver 'Tomorrow' paper factory break-in and the BMW car park chase etc. This is the most prominent Turnbull & Asser tie used in the Bond films and Magnoli will be willing to copy it for you. There is nothing in it for me, save supplying Magnoli with a piece of the tie for the best replication. Please post here if you are interested, it will be far less than the cost of a T&A tie.
In my honest opinion, this is the best tie worn by Brosnans Bond and is timeless. It goes with grey, black, and blue suits and is beautiful.
Here is a few box-brownie shots...

Oh, and for those who aren't aware, the point of gauging interest is because Indy would prefer about a dozen commitments before he can justify the cost of replicating the tie in woven silk as opposed to just a printed design. So the more the better!
This was Turnbull and Assers best selling tie and was made in very limited numbers compared to the following TWINE and DAD ties. I wore it for ten years and want more, so please, post, post, post
Here is the tie that my 'bits' came from. I sold this some time ago on Ebay for a fraction of the asking price now.

Oh Asp, since it seems you're only sending Indy a swatch, do you have measurements of the tie you will be able to send him?
Abandon ship!

BTW, www.bondcollectibles.de prices are always sky high - recently they acqured the 500K Casino Royale Plaques for about $800 and now the asking price is $4000.
Anyway, I'm interested.
I count 5 so far... me, texas007, coldheart, and I believe asp told me he was in for 2.
Another detail for those who haven't read the other tie project thread... Magnoli's tie will cost $55 (which includes shipping worldwide)
I'll take one please.
Again, I will make the same offer I did with your TWINE endeavor. I will buy 2 ties and donate one to the moderators to raffle off to an AJB007 member who may not currently be in a position to purchase the tie. What do you say Paul, think we could make that happen?

Great!
How did you manage to get your hands on a screen-used tie back then?
That is a beautiful tie, unfortunately I wore mine out years ago. Had a nasty habit of pulling due to the weave.
Lucky you! Too bad you lost your valuable contact in the industry. I wish I knew someone who worked on the Bond movies.
