I'm just curious as to the kind of action various items affiliated with Bond actually get. This includes replicas as well as genuine items.
Out of my collection, most worn:
My various Sunspel shirts (especially the grey melange crew neck)
Topman chinos
Least worn:
Magnoli Granborough tie (I love the tie, just don't get many opportunities to dress up these days
)

Both with my Submariner on a Bond nylon strap.
My Lodge Jacket also made an appearance when it was VERY wet earlier in the week.
I've not yet worn my Magnoli Granborough tie or CR Bahama Shirt.
Same reason... I don't often get the opportunity to dress up.
Like you guys my Sunspel stuff gets heavily worn, love the T-Shirts so have many in non Bond colours also. Have multiples of Black, Navy, White, Melange etc. love the fit, cotton and they dont fade.
Wear my Menlo Levi jacket a fair bit not so much the Barbour and Billy Reid.
Constantly wear Harrington Jackets and I have about 5 pairs of Mercer 7 Mankind Jeans however dont wear much anymore.
I have 5 TF QoS Ties and 3 TF Skyfall Ties, crazy as I rarely wear ties nowadays but I really love having them - very cool ties!!
I have 3 Omegas but only really wear the Casino Royale PO on rubber out of those 3!!
CJ Tetburys and Church Ryders get fair use too!!
Wear the Persols more then the TF Sunglasses!
Brown Suede Chukka Boots (wear these with jeans all the time)
7FAM Mercer Jeans from QoS
Sunspel Riviera Polo Shirts
Tom Ford Sunglasses (William & Marko models)
Harrington Jackets (budget alternatives)
Barbour Skyfall Commander/To Ki To Jackets
Navy Peacoat (budget alternative from Old Navy)
Topman Light Grey Slim Chinos
Least Worn:
Screen-Accurate Tom Ford Bolivia Tie from QoS (Ive only worn this once so far. If it ever gets damaged or stained, I will be inconsolable!)
Magnoli Bond Tie Replicas (I have to wear ties daily for work, but I tend to save the Magnoli's for "special occasions". But I'm trying to work them into my rotation more often.)
In the winter I wear my Barbour very regularly. But the most worn would be my Tetbury style shoes (almost every day of the week) and two suits in the "Skyfall" cut - one medium grey pinstripe (looks like the London Chase suit) and one charcoal/navy Glen plaid (looks very much like the suit when Bond first meets Mallory).
but today as weather seems nice ,wearing Harrington, brown suede chukkas, prada belt Rolex, white jeans
TF sunnies, gotta put me contacts in though
I recently got the Y3 replica from Magnoli so that is getting frequent use now. This jacket was my first true love in terms of bond clothes so very happy with the purchase.
Generic suits (at work).
Sunspel Polo together with beige jeans.
Sunglasses in the summer.
Dinner suits esp at Christmas for functions etc.
Love dressing like Bond.
I think my most worn items this summer were my Omega Seamaster (although it is not a screen accurate model because it is the new ceramic model), my brown desert boots, my harrington jacket and the Douglas Pell money clip.
Unfortunately not many occasions that I can wear my dinner jacket.
*Golden gun (assembled) to security scan walkthrough on flight to Washington
*Wrist dart gun to be proactive and stun dentist before he could apply anesthesia
*Tom Ford QoS tie to grunge party held behind a dumpster off 55th and Broadway (Stefon invited me)
*Yves Saint Laurent copying device to work meeting with Frank Abagnale
Ha - forgot about them, mine still in the bag (unused also lol)
PS - had a few people enquire by PMs of stuff ive mentioned I dont wear (im not selling anything lol)
Least worn item; 1:18 Aston Martin DBS QoS edition. Well it's a model car, how the hell do I wear it?

Well..... I remember a scene from Jacka$$ the Movie....
That said, I came across a bunch of 'last scene' ties from Skyfall and might buy a couple: one to wear and another to gather dust
-A Nehru jacket I like that was tough to find
-A bomber jacket that a friend had custom painted with Dalton shooting the gunbarrel on its back, a handmade gift
-Various costumes from my BCWs
On the contrary, I think it's my most worn Bond item. Since I wear jackets, I can get away with concealing the PPQ (same size as the P99).
Other items - Topman Chinos, COS shirts, Billy Ried coat, Magnoli ties.
Least worn - Acne trousers, NPeal jumper, John Smedley V neck (all of which are too big)
I live in my 7FAM Mercer jeans and Sunspel shirts! My Barbour Tokito jacket and Levi Menlo have seen a lot of action as have my Crocket & Jones Tetburys, I wear them to work daily they are the best work shoes I have ever owned.
On the subject of shoes my Church's Ryder iii boots get a day in court most nights and no gym session would be complete without my Adidas Dassler skinny sweats and my Gazzele 2!
But my number one worn item has to be my Omega Skyfall edition love it!!!
What are the sizes on these, and would you be willing to sell any of them?
When I enter a room all men want to be me and all the women Want Me !
My least worn is all that misty eyed stuff over dead women, not for me.
Mind you I'm also delusional
