Harry Rosen in Canada. I've been checking with Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, and they dont have any and havent received any of these. I find it sooo odd that there is this (apparent) selective process from TF.
Good finds OTravel, keep up the good work
Thanks bud. As I've said before, I'll offer up any extras to the forum.
I found 2 QOS-era ties from Harry Rosen that were old stock on clearance, and 2 more QOS-era ties from the TF outlet.
Harry Rosen has the 2-tone blue similar to the green party tie.
I personally find the white/black to be very boring. I know, blasphemy since Bond wore it, but it's the truth. I think the Sharkskin suit would've looked better with a linen shirt with the top button unbuttoned, no tie, and more screen time for the Marko sunglasses. So, that said, I'm not losing sleep over the fact it hasn't been found. If I find one, I'll trade it for the blue/black/grey tie though.
while I'm rambling about such things, I have a brown version of the final scene tie, and I think it looks much better with a charcoal suit than the grey/black tie does. Gives it more character and less monochromism....

I personally love the tie however on your other point the Markos etc it was indeed the time for him to wear them and he did not (maybe due to hopping on a motorbike!!??). I notice DC was wearing them offset during this scene.
I find him popping them on at Silvas Island lair quite bizarre - didnt seem natural. He went to the Casino the night before with them in his Tuxedo pockets????????

That's always bothered me!!! Also, I would find someone wearing sunglasses inside of an airport at night much more suspicious than without.
For the last tie, I'm still not completely convinced it's a 2-tone; even in HD it's hard to tell. I'm wondering if it's the grey/charcoal version of the 3-tone tie.

At the very least the pattern is a different scale.

A sharkskin suit with a linen shirt and no tie? That's a classic business suit, not so casual. Perhaps a light grey fresco suit would be okay worn that way. A more casual summer suit, like the beige/tan linen suits Brosnan wore are great with open-neck shirt like how he wore them. The same goes for the blue linen suit in CR.

Monochromatism is a trademark of Bond dress that goes back to Connery, though he often did two colours with blues and greys. Better a blue or burgundy tie with a grey suit than brown.
Though the colours are similar, that tie is a casual knitted tie and has a very different aesthetic from the Istanbul tie. That tie would look out of place with a suit. However, it would be perfect to go with an outfit like the one in Shanghai.
I have not bought Magnoli's Istanbul Tie but I do have a few of his others.
They are excellent quality! Better than the silk ties you find in the High Street Stores.
I recommend them. :007)
I have just come off the phone with my contact at Tom Ford, and an inquiry is being placed.
I am putting an order for 10 ties for each style, the styles are:
Istanbul
London National Gallery
Granborough Road
Now I need numbers, I already have some expressions of interest, which means at this moment there are 6 ties of each style on offer. I am open to accommodating further expressions of interest and will be reflected in any final order.
I am seeing what the costs are and the availability of the fabric, once this has been agreed then I will post the process.
If you're interested or have any q's e-mail or pm me.

Did you post a pic of those blue ones?
Price is $205 + tax at Rosen's.
Correction: Yes I did post a pic of it, on this page:
http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/38901/tom-ford-skyfall-ties/page/12/
It's definitely a two-tone blue, not purple.
Good news: found the Istanbul tie in 3 shades.
Bad news: the colours are blue, lavender and brown; no white!
I'll post pics to show the weaves. I'm going to check out a few more places.
How does the brown look like? The first pic looks like its got flash (seems orange to me), is it brown/black?

And it would make even more sense because of the motorbike (keeping the wind out of his eyes).
a man always needs his shades...

To save money on the budget of Bond 24, Eon chooses to accept a few AJB volunteers for the costume dept instead of having to hire somebody.

Is it good quality?

The Istanbul tie is one of the best out of them. Looks great and very nice quality and weight. I can't recommend enough.

But I think you will find the last of the Istanbul material has been finished
