my take on Bonds wardrobe

always shaken

purchased these suede boots today from Primani ) £15-so not bad and picked up grey t-shirt for my CR shirt look and white vest for my DAD Havana shirt look , whole lot £20-00 , as I said this is my take on Bonds outfits ,they are not all SA
most are from blue harbour, M& S , but at a fraction of the SA prices



this is my Wilsons leather jacket from Orlando , H&M shirt, Hackett jeans ,Primark boots,


SF pti jacket Adidas shoes,


my take on the Havana (DAD) shirt with white primark vest and blue chinos,


CRshirt grey primark tee


Sunspell polo white Levis Navy M&S harrington


grey linen suit from next ,white M&S linen pilots shirt real Prada belt R&B suede boots,
now all I have to do is go back to the Bahamas


M&S cardigan ,tan chinos


Phillips electric razor Tom Ford after shave and Dents gloves

hope you enjoy my budget kit after all im not made of money )

Well done you have proven you can get the look at a reasonable price

I tended to do the same over the years and just buy the odd SA item every now and then when they come up as a bargain like the half price menlos earlier this year (though I do like Sunspel Polos, OB shorts and brown suede boots all of which I was wearing before JB). At the end of the day the look makes the opinion of others. I have yet to meet anyone who has inspected a label of something I am wearing and stated that's not SA! I would like to see them try! B-)

I do have one weakness accessories which I have collected over the years as they finish the look off (glasses or watch (love omegas always have) or belt etc) and the great thing is they can be reused elsewhere for non Bond looks as well! All you have to do is be patient they come up on the bay now and again

Enjoy your summer looks like you will with what you have already just watch the logo
PT top when you are down the gym - you never know who is training next to you! But then I got mine issued so cheapest item I own and 10 years before JB )

Cheers :007)

This is awesome, and tbh, it is what I have been doing for years...certainly in the Craig era anyway. Next stocks a wealth of Bondian like material, and as for Primark - you can't go wrong at that price you just have to look harder.

thanks Bond 44 ,I like you ,have always had suede chukkas (first pair C&J 1986)
I mostly wear it on holidays days off ect but if you beef up a cheaper set of togs with an Omega/Rolex Prada belt
it does tend to make the cheaper stuff look more expensive and what is this strange place called gym you refer to
and can you get a kebab there )

Bond44

Accessorise it's the way forward and has multi use

Silly me I just assumed anyone buying what we would call a PTI (Physical Training Instructor) top might actually use it at a place for exercising. Seems I was wrong

Kebab shop is on the way home Ying and Yang and all that - or burn it then you have earnt it :007)

Crikey, why didn't you keep it? I have two dinmer suits. Although use is limited, it never hurts to have a spare! :007)

Otherwise, impressive wardrobe selectuon. Pool looks nice too, seems familiar. (Pussy, no! Don't go there!).
