I guess this isn't a grail item like the Purcells or the Sta-Prest, but I've been pretty giddy about finding this thing on the rack at a thrift store. The question now is whether to accurize it the way I did the Barbour To Ki To...
Thanks mailedfist. IT does have the chest pocket on the left, although hard to see in the first photo.
I'm definitely no photographer but this particular fabric is a nightmare to photograph accurately. The funny thing is that I bought for a decent "close-enough" because it looked dark turquoise or green in the seller's photos.
Yes that is correct. You did well. I also picked up a size large a few months ago on eBay new with tags no less. I did see the shirt you purchased. The pics were definitely tough to tell the color but I assume yours is midnight blue also.
Mine is definitely, 100% black . The last 2 photos represent its true colour fairly well.
From the research I've done, the shirt used was indeed black. This was even despite the costume designer Lindy Hemming describing its colour as "deep navy" on the Casino Royale DVD commentary.
I could be wrong, in which case someone will correct me.
No offense taken. Its a crazy collecting world and I try not to get caught up in the SA thing so much. Who knows what color it should be. It sure looks black in the movie but with the crazy dang lighting who knows. I've also read it was a very dark blue. I'd say lets just be happy we have the correct style shirt and enjoy it.
About 2 and a half minutes in there are a few shots of the Alfani shirt without any colour correction, you can really see its true colour.
quite a lot of rare footage in this documentary indeed.

I think what you meant to say is that the shots are not color graded. They SHOULD be color corrected in order to see the true color of the shirt. In fact, the camera is obviously balanced for 5600K when all interior casino lights are bathing the shirt in tungsten light. So, without color correction, the color of the shirt is totally off.
Apart from that, thanks for the link! Very interesting video indeed!
right. excuse my lack of technical knowledge. Sounds like you know what you're talking about. Out of curiosity would it be possible to correct the shots in that video to show the shirt's true colour?

Most definitely!
Without knowing the camera that this behind the scenes footage was shot with, we can't be scientifically accurate but i would say that the following image is 90% there:

Looks blue in that picture!
yeah almost! I still think the screen used shirt is black because my one under certain light does look the same as it does here. If it were a navy or midnight blue I would expect it to look even more blue than it does here. Then again I could be wrong.
When i color balanced the footage that Bond_Ambitions provided, I hadn't realized yet that there was a debate about what color the SA shirt was. After reading the whole thread i tried to see if there was any other segment in the video that could be analyzed.
There is one more clip with a wider angle:
Although not a perfect sample either, there is no doubt that the shirt is midnight blue like Matt just said.
Remember there were swatches available and that this was NOT an Alfani shirt as originally thought.
How interesting. So this swatch does not match the Alfani shirt? Lindy Hemming had said that the shirt in the film was a heavy blue silk. I am tempted to do the burn test with the costume card to see if it's silk.

The model looks good.
It is always nice to find a rare item..
at a good price.
Found this shirt on eBay a few weeks ago.
Quick question for the experts, is it screen accurate?
Cheers.
The labels are correct, it has the collar buttons, and although ht is not clear from the photos I assume it has the chest pocket?

Very happy!

Yes the shirt's color is without a doubt a dark navy blue color.
keywords like: Alfani, men's shirt, polyester, soft etc.
Many hours spent looking for mine. If you really want one i'd suggest checking ebay everyday or every two days.
I've relaxed my obsession somewhat since lol

Out of curiosity, if not Alfani - what brand was it, or do we know?

Can you post a photo of the costume card?
Also, for anyone that might now.. where is that CR swatches card coming from?
