CarsonDyle, I noticed the same and when looking at the sweater up close at the Mr Porter popup store last week it really seems very similar to the OHMSS cardigan, from the collar, and buttons to the pockets. As the costume designer mentioned that she was inspired by James Bond, I think this could be a good example of a direct inspiration. A shame it's so expensive...
Well I received my Kingsman order last week but only just opened it.
Sunglasses appear on par with TF but not Persol level quality wise. The lens appear to be polarised (was not sure if they would be since the item description rather vague)
The Drakes Tie is nice (though not quite SA as Remmert mentions)
Bit cheesed off with Mr Porter, I ordered the SA movie cufflinks but received the other cheaper Rosegold pair (not even sure if these ones are even featured in the movie) Anyhow the cufflinks will be going back since they have sent me the wrong item and of a lot lesser value!!
Anybody seen the film yet and able to confirm what items are actually in the movie???
Looks a nice set. I ordered the key ring and 'manners maketh man' notebook for my sons birthday. Already had Omeega cuff links bought, or I would have looked at those too. )
Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.
Was tempted by the cap also and a few other things but I held off to see what was actually in the film!
The T&A dressing gown looks very posh (and expensive). Kind of thing I would of imagine Bond wearing in SPECTRE rather then the Paul Smith looking stripey affair he has on
Looks really nice indeed! -{
I'm waiting for Bluray,want to see film first,and then maybe...will buy something for myself!
Shame that quality isn't greatest for so pricey garments,as I heard

As there are so many manufacturers in the mix for this collection I think quality is hit and miss depending on item, I guess some manufacturers are cutting corners.
You can't really go wrong with T&A and D&F though, don't think they are compromising and appear to be top notch. I really like the PO lens on the sunglasses but the frames feel a bit light weight

Now got the correct SA cufflinks after Mr P sent the wrong ones and I treated myself to a new T&A Kingsman shirt for a upcoming Wedding

Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I admire your optimism

The flat cap might have been but I can't remember
The Cardigan I didn't include as I believe its a diff colour in the movie when Firth wears it (white or cream instead of beige)
Closest I've ever seen to it. Would say it's definitely no coincidence. Just so ridiculously expensive..
Not that I saw, but it's great quality and I've had numerous compliments on it. The Kingsman connection is just a private little added bonus for me!
There's no sale in UK-yet
Noticed there's a different stuff comparing to UK site.

I wonder if he is making the eye glasses as well? I would love a pair.
