Dunhill cufflinks

DanielCraig007

I am looking for these cufflinks by Dunhill. I have copies of them but I am looking for the originals. I think they were used by Brosnan in TND and TWINE. I think they are called Dunhill AD 2000.
Anyone know where I can get hold of them?

Those particular ones were only used in TWINE. The TND versions were part of the same range, but a different shape. The only way you will find them now, is on the pre-owned market as they sold out quickly when released and had limited availability during the three years they were in production 97 to 99. I haven't even seen a set for sale on Ebay in the last five years or so. The TWINE versions used to be seen far more often than the TND versions too.

Forget the cufflinks, Monza and I are still trying to figure out where we can get that damn pipeline tie! )

So what is the difference between the TND and TWINE cufflinks? Have you got good pictures of both?

Ask Magnoli if he can produce a copy of the pipeline tie.

These are the TND versions. Much nicer than the TWINE ones...

It kills me that I can't read the label on the back of the tie.

Could it be Benson & Clegg?

I too think the cufflinks are great. I have checked ebay for years without any success. The pipeline tie could be from another Jermyn St tailor - Herbie Frogg.

Geosam is correct. The label in the picture is from a Herbie Frogg tie. There is currently a Herbie Frogg tie for sale on ebay and there is a clear photo of its label shown in the listing. Link below.

^Wow, it is! Great job there!

sruzgar

WOW good find, so whos going to contact them and see if they can remake this tie? if they have any record of it or made any others?

urhash

Woh that is a seriously epic discovery. This has pretty much remained unknown for the last 11 years except for those involved with the production of the movie.

If anyone inquires to Herbie Frogg, please do us all a favor and do not refer to it as the "bond tie".

Indy Magnoli

I remember visiting Herbie Frogg back in '98. We showed up just before closing and the older gentleman there was extremely helpful and generous with his time. We ended up buying three shirts and a tie. Great shirt... still one of my favorites.

sruzgar

I took the liberty of contacting them will report back if and when I hear back from them!

I will be in Jermyn Street on thursday. If someone would be kind enough to post a close up photo of the tie I will take it into the shop and ask if they can reproduce it. Thanks

Unless you get a sense they aren't uptight, I would just show them a picture of the tie and not mention Bond. Some places (ahem T&A) become really unfriendly and (more importantly) unhelpful the moment you mention Bond... this has happened to others and was my experience as well.

Maybe you can also mention it was from their ~1998-1999 range.

Asp9mm

Froggs staff turnover is alot greater than T&As, (whose staff seem to never change). Might be best to speak to one of the older members of staff as you may unintentionally get fobbed off through inexperience.

Without wanting to be a 'party-pooper' I think the Jermyn St store has recently closed due to major demolition and redevelopment works. May be worth phoning prior to any potential visit.

For anyone that has been trying to locate cufflinks similar to the TWINE PTS triangular dunhills - check out the new Charles Tyrwhitt silver pebble cufflinks. Not a perfect match but appear to be a pretty good alternative. Currently half price too.

I'm in Jermyn Street on another matter so it will not be a wasted visit. However, it appears they have closed down. I will check tomorrow and let you know for certain.

I think those cufflinks are outdated. The Quantum ones (S.T. Dupont) are way more modern. I wouldn't waste my money on them.

Herbie Frogg is currently closed and there is no indication when or if it will reopen.
