Keeping on topic with canoe's recent post on the bath robes (great stuff!), here is my take on the CR hospital room with Vesper outfit. I find it to be SUPER comfy for laying around at home, doing bills, laundry etc.. haha
-Uniqlo Grey Cotton Cashmere sweater ($29)
-Ralph Lauren Navy Pajama bottoms ($25 on sale a few years ago at Macy's)
- SA White leather Converse Jack Purcells ($70)
- Hanes white t shirt
Very, very cool! That's an inspiration man! I'm going to have to put that together for around the house. Well done.
Thanks! Those Uniqlo cotton cashmere sweaters are fantastic. A black one would be perfect for the Skyfall one.
Barbour hiltz Steve mcqueen suede chukkas are down to 42gbp from Jones the bootmakers, just ordered myself a pair in the lighter colour (I have too many darker brown suede boots already) I figure they look a cross between the Purcell CR boots and the Sanders SP boots. Either way they will look great with chinos.

Working on a couple of other things this week, but I decided to do a "Best of the last month" type post where I could also include some finds that don't really belong to a specific post yet. @Cubby, you got a couple of shout outs!
Request: if you anyone here feels comfortable sharing their experience with one of the replica manufacturers, I would really appreciate it if you could share them in the post's comments section for others to see. Alternatively, if you would rather leave comments here, can you let me know if it's okay for me to include them in the post? Thanks everyone for the help!
I saw this at a Banana Republic Factory store a few weeks ago, and forgot to share it. The website says they're sold out, but you can call a store and they'll most likely ship it to you. I was in the St. Augustine, Florida, store and they had all sizes.
I'm just back from Morocco, so of course I had to put together the Spectre Morocco outfit for the holiday!
I got it fairly cheap. I got the "jacket" from Topman (In reality it was a shirt which I had tailored to look like the jacket) which cost €48 and a further 50 to tailor.
Heads up, Jones have a bit more stock of the Barbour Chukka, just ordered the lighter colour. -{
Mine arrived on Tuesday, very quick delivery, I'm really pleased with them, I got the lighter ones too, very comfortable, practical and a good colour too

$3 plus free shipping (and I think extra $1.50 to expedite it if you want) for a Morocco knit tie alternative? I think it took a little over a week to reach me.
I got and it is pretty decent alternative for $3 except for the keeper loop was kinda crappy. But I'm sure you can get it fixed quite easily.
Does anyone know of alternatives to the CR balcony/Venice cardigan - that is, a lightweight black shawl cardigan (not sure if it's black or midnight blue in the movie)? Been looking for one for a while but most are heavy knits and very chunky which doesn't go well with the spring/summer setting.

Vincenzo borretti do one, available on amazon I think it's closer to the CR cardigan than the qos tom ford.

The dark brown ones are the ones I have and I was talking about a few posts before. Very comfortable shoes and well wearing.

That's a great deal for those boots. I think I bought mine for £55 last year.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Ordered a pair of the lighter ones for the same reason.
Take normal size or size up /down?
Thanks
Thanks though!

I also saw these pants there, and they look like a close match.
Apologies if these were already shared, I've been in Jamaica on my honeymoon.

Finally got a reply from them, no international shipping.

Then the navy polo was €7, the jeans were €10 and the desert boots €20 all from Primark, so not a bad deal for a whole outfit!
I also had the blue shirt from the train journey for the evening, so I had the complete package.
Topman also have a jacket which is quite a good replica for the desert scene:

Great thinking. Unfortunately the shirt is sold out now. But out of curiosity, which alterations did you have made?
