For me it would have to be the Shanghai outfit. I substituted a Black HM Pea coat nearly identical to the Billy Reid as I felt the navy blue only works when worn at night, during the day time it just doesnt work with the outfit.
With the weather turning I am planning to wear my peacoat a lot more than I did last year. It is not the Billy Reid peacoat but a vintage model from the navy issued in 1950.
Also looking forward to wearing my billy reid. I didn't get mine till height of summer. Also looking forward to wearing my goldfinger outfit: brown hacking jacket, tan cavalry twill trousers, white shirt and brown knitted tie. It's always been one of my favourites.... Quite worried that I may look like a maths teacher though!
Only got into Bond clothing properly with Skyfall so don't have much experience before then. Probably my most worn item has been the Barbour, and I've worn my BR peacoat a lot too. Haven't worn the Dents gloves much but for the price, I've only worn my Levi's jacket 4 times since I bought it after Christmas.
Would put watches at the top of the list (really enjoy switching recent Omega's with vintage Seiko's depending on the occasion) with T&A ties following.
But if we are trying to list here "most liked but least worn" items those must be the C&J's .... if one day I will be brave enough to take them out of their box ....

Easy answer ! QOS Y-3 Jacket. I ordered it from the New York Y-3 store (I was told it was the last remaining one in the U.S.). Although I bought it for the James Bond connection, I came to find out that it is a perfect jacket for Southern California (my home) because sometimes one needs a jacket in the morning, but too bulky of a jacket gets too warm in the afternoon......
My most worn is my TF Markos. I wear those things all the time. I also love the Smedley Bobby from Skyfall and the Navy Sunspel polo from Casino Royale.
My least worn would be all of my Bond ties. Even though I wear a tie to work almost every day, I'm always afraid I'm going to snag them or spill on them. )
Full Lodge outfit (minus the Iggys - too tight in the leg for me, replaced with a pair of slim 7FAM black cords)
Full Shanghai outfit (less the chauffeur cap, though I do own one for my side job www.agentchauffeur.co.uk)

TF shawl cardigan and Q Of S TF shades
Omega Aqua Terra everyday, then rotate my CR Planet Ocean / CR Seamaster / QofS PO on an evening
Sunspel tees and polos with slim chinos
Ryder III's never off really
Drive my DBS regularly
Least
TF skyfall shirts, have the tab collars in white and blue. just because don't wear them for work and yet wear a suit out of work rarely
Persol 2244's, slip on my nose a bit
All my friends guess which film / outfit it is every time we go out !!!
Well.. considering I have carried my PPK/s as my back up at work for almost 12 years.. I'd say it wins I actually bought the Vega holster recently.. wore it once and it was shelved immediately.. did not like it at all… awkward and uncomfortable... went back to my thumb break Galco… That and my Barbour jacket see a lot of use…. Couldn't get the official lodge boots.. but did get the J&M boots that are a very decent alternative.. I live in those off duty… softest and most comfortable boot I have ever worn.. In the warmer months my Magnoli Madagascar shirt is a typical go to choice…. Thinking my tax return this year may go to an Omega Seamaster after all of these years of lusting.. we will see tho..

the 007 aftershave.
the last bit a pair of TF sunglasses YES
7FAM jeans in Mercer don't fit! I got a 33 (they said to size up), and I've shrunk to a 31 (maybe a 30.5)-inch waist!!!
I've purchased Sta-Prest 517s and had them altered to fit like the 306. LOVE them!!!
Also have budget brown suede chukkas that I love. Want the Istanbul style black leather next...
Also have Tom Ford William sunglasses. Gorgeous!
Bond on a Budget
Awesome boots!! By far the most comfortable boots (or shoes) I've ever owned!!!
Worn with my Magnoli Madagascar shirt & t-shirt.

HAHA, I remember that

Least worn: QoS white STA prest...I love white trousers, but I feel odd wearing them with anything other than a blue polo 8-)

Perfectly acceptable on holiday in a hot country, with a blue polo, but I would feel a bit of a tw@t wearing them back in Britain...
My least worn would be all of my Bond ties. Even though I wear a tie to work almost every day, I'm always afraid I'm going to snag them or spill on them.
Least Worn: Sunspel Polo (the sleeves are too short/uncomfortable in my opinion).

Least: Any of my other 7500 pcs.
