Does anyone know who makes the Black dress shirt that Bond wears in the Ocean Club the first time he gambles? Thanks.

1st post. Looks like a great forum you guys have going here.

    Alfani, I believe. Mantis has it, if you have any questions. In one of his videos, he explains the differences with the different versions you might find, if I remember correctly. And you seem to live in quite a nice place.

    I believe the colour of the shirt is actually a very dark navy or midnight blue, although I cannot say 100% as I don't own one. However, as toutbrun said, it was made by Alfani, and according to the DVD commentary was made of silk.

    You should try Canada. We have our own brand of coats, because wherever you bought yours, it won't be enough here. You gotta buy it here if you want to survive. Yeah, that cold.

    I own that shirt... it is indeed ALFANI, it is black, it is made of a kind of suede feel polyester... if you find one it will need the be altered to a square tail with notches on each side... any good tailor will do that for you for about 10$ USD...

    Not that great a shirt but it is a Bond original... and affordable when it was available...

    Good luck!

    As always It is nice to do a search on ajb…look at this thread:

    http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/35077/alfani-shirt-from-cr-quick-question/

    there is some question if it is Alfani

    In principle it would have been more obvious if they had used Sunspels version as they also used the polo shirt.. But perhaps David has more information

    Funny how when you're not looking for something, it sort of jumps up in your face. I was searching for some tropical wear for an upcoming vacation and came across this site. Not sure if this has been posted before, but I thought others might want to take a look. I know this isn't exactly like the Alfani shirt, but it is close (with the exception of it being linen). Hope this helps. Cheers.
