Beautiful.
Which Royale jacket version, if I may ask?
I'm thinking of getting the V2 for sale now but should I hold out for the nicer V3? By the way, I'm a size small.
Mine is the original V1 I think I have both this and the black one from QOS as well. Crazy thing is I am MED in the .Blue but a Small in the Black to get the fits I wanted.
Realiity is any of these Royale jackets are the closest ever match you will get to the genuine thing. So I don't think you will go far wrong with any version I am guessing with the TF re run recently on this jacket arranged direct with TF but the AJBers there might be a few Royales on the market later.
Cheers :007)
Let's hope so.
I hope one lets go of a TF one at a Royale price ). That will be the day .
Seriously though, bummed out that I couldn't get the TF one but I can't flush down my SMP savings for it.
Anyway, I might just wait for a couple of v3s.

Just returned from a nice holiday from beautiful Queenstown New Zealand, and thought I would post some frugal Bond outfits I'd worn throughout. Apologies if they are not 100% accurate.
Altaussee outfit
Solden outfit
Skyfall Lodge outfit - Minus scarf as it was a warm day
Why thank you for the kind words Bond_Ambitions! The jacket is from NEXT. It is their wool bomber with borg collar - it has a detachable black shearling collar. From a couple of seasons ago.
Well put together outfit, Bond44 :007). I will admit though, that I'm not as in love with the Y-3 jacket as I am with the harrington.
Here's an idea for an IA; why not do one where you focus on all of Bond's polos.
It's the summer after all, and I've been looking for a good Dr No light blue polo with all of the correct details (like the rounded collar, no pocket, elastic ends etc.) but as of yet, no luck.

Actually I love both jackets and looks posted this weekend. Strange many say QOS was not a good film but I think stylistically it was one of the best giving us these looks and the 42mm PO (not multiple Omegas) and TF108's but that's just my take.
Certainly a film I connected with style wise and can pull off occasionally
Cheers :007)

Exactly.
It's a shame Louise Frogley wasn't the costume designer in another Bond film.
QoS had the nicest suits and casual outfits we have seen in a Craig era film, yet.
And today's budget QOS outfit for family gathering.

Black Sunspel Polo
White Levis jeans
Brown Loake Kemptons

Have a good one all

P.S Chris if you are wearing this today I am moving countries

Put your passport away Bond44, I wore the Haiti outfit last weekend {[]
No today I've been at home in my thunderball outfit, pale blue shorts and pink shirt only with some Barbour flip flops or thongs if your of the southern hemisphere persuasion.

Just search "mens Nero La Perla swimshorts"
Can anyone comment on the sizing? I'm a 33-34 in the waist which is pretty standard US Medium. Should I go Medium here or shoot for Large in UK size?

Mine should be here on Wednesday so I'll have a better idea, but if it helps I just went off La Perla's size guide on their site and went with the nearest larger fit if you know what I mean? So I'm a 35- 36" waist normally so I went with Size 36-38.
I've ordered one to replace my reiss item that I've always worn as a Y3 alt and had for almost 9 years ( time for the jacket graveyard) if anyone is interested in sizing etc let me know and I'll post my thought when it arrives.
Friendly reminder to anybody who wants a decent looking Skyfall swim trunk alternate, 2(X)ist has their Yacht Swim Short in Alaskan Blue on sale for $42.50..... if you spend at least $50 you get free shipping and most states have no tax.
Furthermore, code HELLO2X gets you another 15% off, so you can grab a shirt or two and some Skyfall swim trunks for about $50.

Quick update, I recieved mine today, they fit great as I mentioned before I essentially sized up so my recommendation on these is to size up.
And to add to my previous post: Skyfall track pants alternative from 2(X)ist for $38 after HELLO2X promo code..... add $12 worth of material to get free shipping.
Last wedding of the year and typical UK weather only here could you wear sunglassses and carry a brolly! Still it's not going to dampen our spirits!
Here is my homage to SF
Cheers :007)
Yes it's ridiculous weather very tropical with heavy downpours but humid and warm. Very smart Bond44 -{ watch out for any glocks with extended mags poking out of a black audi window whilst your out and about.
Chris and Bond44, you gents are certainly keeping the British end up. Looking great! Loving the styles. I rocked my new Orlebar Brown update to the DAD outfit for my little guys birthday. Now off to dinner and a movie with the fam. {[]
