The more I look at the shot of DC drinking the Vespers, the more I now believe the dark squares version may be correct. There is a consistency to the pattern of the dark squares in the picture that I don't believe would be the case if it was merely a matter of the lighting. It is the pattern and fabric Magnoli used, and it would be interesting to know where he got his intel from.

Dark squares is correct. Confirmed. However, I believe the PTS darker squares ARE produced by shadows.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Sent in a request for the ties last week, these runs are definitely a go if there is enough material. Hope to hear back tomorrow! The only problem of course is still the PTS tie, I'm not 100% on this one. May have to just run a poll so we can collectively decide on one (all blue or blue/black) and just agree that if its wrong, at least we are all wrong together.
On that note however, I will post all of my available screen captures and info on the PTS tie and ask for you all to do the same. There is a shot of it in the Bond on Set book if anyone wants to pull out their magnifying glasses and let me know what they see.
Since the PTS tie seems to be the final hurdle here, I've gone out on a limb and e-mailed Ms. Frogley with a photo of the swatch that JB1962 posted above to see if she can confirm which tie was used. We both worked on a film recently, and I'm hoping the connection will break the ice. I can't promise she'll get back to me, but it's worth a shot. I'll let you know if she responds.
Looking closely at Page 024 of Bond On Set with DC in the Aston, the lighting looks pretty natural, and I would say the overall color of the PTS tie is more like Holden's TFB61 swatch. It doesn't seem to have as much of a sheen especially compared to the Greene Party tie or even the Champagne tie. A tough call and it would be great to get some type of confirmation from a credible source.
OK, making myself crazy . While the PTS pattern is pretty defined in the Bond On Set picture, the tie is of an overall blue hue, and I don't see any black. I think it would probably be darker if there was black. I'm bailing for the sake of my mental well-being and will leave the final decision to greater minds than mine!

Great! Let me know if you hear a reply.
As you all can see, it is quite unclear still. Even judging by the BoS book.
As for the Russia tie, no problems here. Exact pattern and style number have already be IDed and requested.
Someone here (scroll to bottom of 1st post) is selling some TF ties for $150, and some look like they might have been Bond ties, but I can't tell from some of the photos: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=166135

The #17 Tom Ford tie looks like it could be the "Greene Planet Party" one.
They were taken at the NY TF store before they sent them to me. I just received them. I ordered them two months ago.
By the way, if someone wants to buy a cheaper version, there is ONE left at RAFFAELLO. It is not the good colors (brown instead of black and a lighter blue instead of BLUE), but it's 1/3 of the price.

That's actually a great looking tie! I'm thinking of pulling trigger. Even though it's not one from the movie, it's still in the style of one Bond (DC) would wear.
Raffaello Network ties are close but the codes (confirmed by them) are toftie10040=TFB64... (actual 'Bond' code being TFB61 - PTS Tie) & toftie10036=TFB70 (actual 'Bond' code being TFB73 - Greene Party Tie); so whilst the pattern is correct, the colours vary.
Still a nice ties though.....
Yes, that's what I said. The RAFFAELO PTS is brown and light blue and their GREENE tie has the good blue but it's black instead of silver. I think they are very great alternatives.
I cannot tell you how much I am impressed with my two ties. The fabric for the Kazan is soft and the PTS is kind of rough, but what's really impressive is the effect of light and brillance and darkness. The pictures do not do any justice. The pattern just pops out of the tie for the Kazan and has a very nice transition from brilliant dark blue to complete dark for the PTS. Those are two of the most amazing ties I have ever seen, if not the very best. I think that you will never go back to Magnoli ties after that, it is impossible to replicate this.
Also, please note that they are thinner than the usual TF shape, but that's what was used in QoS I was told.
If you can't trust a Swiss banker, what's the world come to?
Tout, interesting point about the tie width. Have to admit that I've kept quiet about that, but did wonder. My TF London & Kazan ties have a blade width at the widest part of 3 & 1/8", whereas I have one of the PTS/Bolivia ties, albeit in a different colour that is 3 & 7/8". I think the code for that one had OVR, for oversize at the end of it.
What's the width on yours and just to confirm once and for all, for the PTS tie, did you specify TFB61 as per the swatch picture?
Someone's got a quick trigger finger and just beat me to the punch to pick up this little beauty for $99! It's none other than the PTS tie. I hope it was someone on these boards.
You know, the more photos I see of the PTS tie, the more I want Magnoli to produce a replica of it. I love the design & colours, but there's no way I can afford TF prices for a tie, even discounted.
Sorry guys but that was me.... They seem to have had a large increase in the amount of Tom Ford Ties they have in stock...I think it is probably down to this forums interest/purchases.
Im holding off on the London tie or near as dammit on page one...Go for it.
TWO MINUTES LATER......so who bagged the London Tie?.....its gone!!

EDIT: Kazan tie is good an easy but we don't have the swatch. I've been looking everywhere for it, no one has it. Nor the number (?).
"Your contact?" "Not well."
So sorry, I always wrote Kazan with a (Z) and when I did my research I did not think to write it with an (S). Thanks!
But we still don't have a TF swatch

If someone has a picture of it so I cant start my own hunt (or we should really ask Magnoli... big time), it would make my week.
By the way, pictures of PTS and Kazan.
Where did you get those pictures do you have higher resolution versions?
