No shipping to the US???? How can a major UK vendor not be able to ship to the US?
This is their FAQ response: "For contractual reasons Turnbull & Asser Limited is unable to offer product directly to persons living in the USA. At some point in the future we hope this situation will be remedied. In the meantime we can but offer our sincerest apologies to our valued US customers (who live in the US)."
They must be accurate since they are made by the company who produced them initially. Just got my DAD blue circles tie...
Thanks for the heads up B540 WUU
You're most welcome my friend!
I have admired the TND tie for a long time and am thrilled to finally own one. Not very keen on the other two myself but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think this person will have to lower their prices!
Has anyone called a U.S. store and see if we can purchase through them?
Yes, I spoke with the store in Beverly Hills. I picked up a TWiNE and TND tie today. They currently have (1) DAD tie, (2) TWiNE ties, and (2) TND ties in stock and will sell them over the phone. Their number is 310-550-7600. Ask for Joel (pronounced Jo-elle) and let him know that Craig referred you. We chatted for a bit - he respects the Bond community, and he'll definitely treat you well.
Those prices aren't that far off the mark. For those of us in the States, these ties cost $170/each + tax. That's what I just paid for each of mine. The higher cost is due to the import duties and fees, etc. They are obviously much cheaper to get out of the UK, but that's not an option for those of us on this side of the pond.
Thanks for reposting my earlier statement, manmaoyy, and welcome to the AJB Forum! I'm sure people can read my earlier remark, as it's only a few shorts posts above. If you need help quoting other members here, as I've seen a few of your re-posts, feel free to drop me a PM (private message), and I can guide you through the process. Hope you enjoy your time on the forum! You'll find some fascinating info here!
I visited the T & A store on Jermyn Street this afternoon, and they had sold out of the TND tie. They had 2 left of the TWINE tie, and had several of the DAD ties in stock. It appears that all three ties can still be ordered on the website, however the sales assistant in the store claimed that the whilst the web site sold T & A goods, it was not directly affiliated with the store, and that they were unable to request stock set aside to be sold online be transferred to Jermyn Street to replensish sold out stock. The sales assistant confirmed that all three ties are limited editions.
On a similar note, it appears that the black knitted tie worn in Dr No is still available. Apparently T & A have never stopped making it. I'm planning to revisit the store soon and will pick myself one up if there not too expensive.

Can anyone confirm that there are only 3 Bond ties offered at this time on the website ? (I only identified 3)...
Great find, B549 WUU!
Great, great, great...
T&A have a store in the US so surely they can get these ties over to you guys over the pond...I hope so.
1. People who hate things.
2. Irony.
3. Lists.
