Good Day
My name is Mike from Canada and this is my first post. I have been a James bond fan for just about my entire life and have been visiting this forum for a few days reading and learning many details about the James Bond character.
I have been thinking about getting a Montenegro tie from this site:
http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/montenegro-tie-ties-p-285.html
but I see they come in modern (straight sided) and vintage (contoured).
I know the shape is a personal preference but without seeing them side by side or even knowing the measurements it can be hard to make a decision.
My question is what style is most common here at ajb007 and what style does Daniel Craig as James Bond wear.
Thanks Mike

Welcome to AJB! As you say its personal choice but when Magnoli first produced this tie and shipped them out everyone received the so-called 'vintage' version which was nit what people were expecting nor what the original would have been. Due to complaints he did another run which led to the 'modern' cut. My advice would be go for the modern version as the vintage is rather narrow yet flares at the end and just doesn't look right. And yes I was one of the original customers who wasn't happy with the first version.
There is a previous thread somewhere where I posted photos of the vintage cut next to Magnoli's other ties. If you can find it you will see the difference very clearly.

I agree with nms75. Get the modern size. It will be how it looks in the movie. I too bought the original run and got the "vintage". It's way too narrow and doesn't look right.
I am new to the site and have also been looking for the Montenegro tie from Casino Royale. Can anyone give me some feedback on how the quality/likeness is for Magnoli clothiers? Is it worth the cost? Does the tie match CR?
Thanks
I bought the Montenegro tie from Magnoli and I'm VERY pleased with it! It is excellent quality and WELL worth the price! I subsequently bought the Kazan and Bolivia Champagne ties, again, both are fantastic and I'm now looking at a couple more. They really are good value and I doubt the Montenegro tie will be your only purchase...
Go for it!
Oh! And welcome to the forum!
Kazan,
PTS Tie
And I will chuck the Bolivia Tie in for free
Welshboy,
Is the Kazan tie Magnoli's second version (Not the silver one)?
If so, I maybe interested.....
