welshboy78

$1800 for a scarf! Out of interest does anyone know how much TF scarves retail for?

toutbrun

There are two variations of the scarf. In the movie, the scarf looks more black because you can get different kinds of reflects with the silk they used, just like with the ties, but even more. The pattern can either become super silvery or completely black.

I need to dig my blu ray version out )

So in a nutshell, due to the lack of screen footage the scarf model is not 100% certain???

No, mate.

And neither are any of the ties (bar the ones with Costume Card swatches, of course); TF made so many that were so damn close in style and design, that the screen used ones are pretty difficult to confirm (like the scarf).

And anyone who tells you he has a 100% contact at TF or anything similar, then regard their opinions with some scepticism.

We all have the best matches we could get, and which we hoped were 100% accurate. They maybe, they may not (even some on here whose opinions and connections I respect 100%, aren't totally, absolutely confident).

Don't put your mortgage on any TF item from QOS. (Hell, there was even some confusion about the shades being Oliver Peoples, wasn' there, Bondtoys )

Well, it was YOUR scepticism and YOUR confusion, not mine DS.
My information was clear as it can get! You have been in the Adam Simmonds camp and where ranting on all other opinions and informations.

And as you did not even have the guts to apologize, your comment can't be regarded as very funny 8-)

Oh cheer up, you miserable individual; I was only trying to make light of the examples of confusion on kit from QOS.

Clearly, you are not prepared to take my comments in the spirit in which they were intended. Maybe it's lost in translation so cheeck with you pal Asp9mm.

Some of us, however, aren't able to hold silly grudges after all this time over something as childish as James Bond's specs!

And you aren't getting an apology because one isn't waranted, just as there wasn't in the past. You know the past? The only dead thing that smells sweet. For those who chose to live in it and not move on.

Nice attitude, DS!

So, you wanted to "make light of the examples of confusion on fit from QoS"?

I'd say, you have been on the wrong track all way long and neither had the info or the greatness to admit it!

I enjoy funny remarks all the way but not from an individual, is not able to say: "I was wrong"

And regarding Asp9mm: Do you have friends here? I guess, the only one, that you are able to see is your face in the mirror......

No, my friend, I wanted to make light of the fact a thread can have a ludicrous number of posts back and forth over something like the confusion of manufacturer of JB's shades! (You will recall from your order with Adam Simmonds, you yourself intially believed they were OPs!)

But tell you what, Toys, I really think you have missed my attempt at humour - perhaps humour isn't your thing - and your obsession with an apology for no reason after what? - nearly three years? - is rather concerning.

But why don't you post a link to the thread we're refering to and let's let today's ajbers decide?

"Can I offer an opinion? I really think you should find a better place to meet." Or discuss. This threat is about a scarf, not god damn apologises.

Higgins

Please don't call me your friend. Others could believe it!

Maybe, I am missing your humor, maybe you don't have one, who knows?
And I am pretty sure, that those who are interested will find the corresponding thread and draw their own conclusions.

I think there will always be some confusion or debate over the items but we do tend to "narrow the gap" as time goes on. Then you have those collectors with screen used items that help others verify width, color, texture etc...all this evidence adds up to some compelling purchases, in my opinion.

As far as humor, I must admit I never understood the goading of others or anti-American statements but then maybe I have a limited reach and interpretation of some posts. Also, I believe it is very difficult to measure TONE in posts and emails, thus making them difficult.

I guess Tosca isn't for everyone.

toutbrun

Well two ties are actually confirmed by Costume Cards, and the others (such as the PTS, Kazan), even though there is no proof, ARE the correct version. The only one that could be up for debate is the Bolivia, gold tie. However, the version we currently accept here for the latter, which I have, has the same effect than in the movie. I've had a lighter version which I sold because it didn't have the same effect.

I think the board has done quite a good job and there is no need to go back into dark ages where nothing is certain.

Fair comment on screen used items, Dave. Though personally - and this could be my lack of involvement in the "hardcore" collecting circles - I've never seen anyone whip out an item and say this was defo Craig's tie in QOS. I have, however, heard the defence that to do so would compromise the person who 'supplied' the item from their employers, EON. So it's a bit of a vicious circle, isn't it?

I hope you've never come across anti-American sentiments on here, Dave, though I do agree with you: much can be lost in black and white, or the understanding of the sarcasm/irony of 'foreigners' like me.

Coldheart96

David...I thought there was a discussion that the scarf was Prada...or am I thinking about the gloves?

The Bond Experience

Bang on with the lack of people showing their screen used items. I believe those that own any keep them appreciated in a very quiet way.

welshboy78

So is it black or brown lol

I think Mantis tried the gloves at a Tom Ford store, so... But the scarf is DEFINITELY Tom Ford, and the two versions or so that exist are very close between them.

The tie? The scarf? The scarf we don't know, it's too dark in the movie to know.

The Bond Experience

Ready for this...the scarf is brown AND black...take that!
Checked black on brown...I believe (*)






* opinion of me

Bozzltov

The brown color is about as shitty as some people arguing and throwing insults over a goddamn piece of cloth on the internet. Why doesn't someone just send a letter to EON or whoever consigned the damned things?

Higgins

so, Dave, are we supposed to buy 2 TF scarfs. One in black and one in brown to be on the safe side... :v

Yes, cut them in half and sew them together

toutbrun

The one in brown you won't find it, for sure. The one in black, you might if you're lucky.

So apart from the colour is the ebay one even the correct type pattern??

toutbrun

They are almost identical between them. And they both have one side that is black solid cashmere (the inside)

BTW, if you're interested in Tom Ford items, go check what I just wrote :

http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/34238/the-goodbutnotultimate-guide-for-james-bond-ties/

There's a great tie that's VERY close to the PTS on Raffaello, and instead of Magnoli quality, you get the Tom Ford quality...

I bought myself one and it's great. The closest you'll get to the real tie, but be aware that the pattern is NOT OK (it's the Greene party pattern). But the quality and effect is similar to PTS.

Did someone ever find a cheaper alternative to the Kazan scarf?

Sometimes Prada, Dior have something that looks alike.
