It's not even a copy of the Dr. No cuff (or the cocktail cuffs from any of the other 8 Bond movies they were featured in). In any case, I'm glad to see James Bond's signature shirt cuff returning.

I assume the thinking is that it's more similar to the cuff worn in Dr. No than to the cuff worn in Skyfall, right? Not sure the connotation is that it's identical. Sometimes a nod is just a nod.

Saying it's more like the Dr. No cuff than the Skyfall cuff would not be a fair comparison. That's comparing apples and oranges. I would take naming it after a specific cuff in Dr. No (which was also worn in 4 of Connery's other Bond films) to be making a direct comparison to that cuff. Why don't they call it by a more generic name if it isn't a copy, like "cocktail cuff" (the name of the cuff's creator Frank Foster), "turnback cuff" or "flowback cuff"?

I didn't realize the evening shirt had a cocktail cuff on it. I thought it was a double cuff?

Perhaps they think they'll sell more of them if the Bond reference is overt. It doesn't surprise me that it's not an exact copy of the design. Ford's tendency seems to be to draw inspiration from other sources, but then he puts his own spin on it. So this would be consistent with that approach. In any event, they are making a direct comparison to the Dr. No cuff because it is similar, albeit not identical (I take your word for that, as I can't tell based on what we've seen).

Tom Ford does indeed take inspiration from other sources and makes his own modifications. Ford's modification to Connery's (one button instead of two) has disadvantages. Most of my shirts have cocktail cuffs, and I've tried many different designs. Ford's cuff isn't the most logical of cocktail cuff designs, but when kept in place inside a jacket sleeve it still looks very nice. Roger Moore wears an almost identical cuff in Street People:
You can see how it flops over, since there isn't a second button to keep it up. It's flaccid and dysfunctional, compared to Connery's more erect cuffs! :007)

I'm thinking the button location has as much to do with it as the number of buttons. If the button was closer to the edge of the cuff, wouldn't that improve the flopping?

Yes, a button closer to the fold would prevent the flopping, but then the cuff would swing open on the other side. The button doesn't work well when it's beyond the halfway point of the cuff.
Just had a rather large charge show up on my CC bill from TOM FORD BEVERLY HILLSCA. Looks like I'll have to sell that kidney sooner than I thought... :007)

Sorry in advance for the rookie questions... I tried searching Tom Ford's site with some of the codes listed in this awesome thread but to no avail. Is it not possible to order the ties yet? Is any/everything connected to Spectre not released and only available thru some special pre-order?
Was hoping to pick up a tie or two, perhaps a polo. I see the sunglasses are finally available tho they're neatly identical to a pair of Snowdon's I already own.

Again, great thread, cheers all!
Where did you see the sunglasses?
They're readily available at Tom Ford (in store only I believe) and at Nordstrom's in the US.

Do the pocket squares have specific code for the blue shirt and funeral white shirt

In the buy book the shirt has double cuffs.

I ordered one and had to get him to reconfirm as I thought he accidentally had me down for the Dinner Jacket / Tuxedo shirt
