For the Goldfinger barleycorn tweed look it goes. The sunglasses look like Persol, not crazy about the hat though.
There was also a tie-slide but Mason and Sons has taken care of that.
Nice outfit. The jacket looks pretty good. The color appears spot on but on their website it looks a bit darker.
I may have to pick one up. That's the beige, right? They offer it in tan as well that's why I ask.
Ready to set off on a 14 journey via car, plane, taxi to our holiday destination, what else to wear but Spectre morrocco.
French connection chinos, wested jacket, Silverstreet boots, omega watch, Tom Ford sunglasses, and reiss polo I opted for the reiss over my Magnoli as the Magnoli rides up when sat and I had a lot of sitting.
I emailed them and asked for the lightest colour, their site at the time didn't give a comparison of the beige next to the tan, if I remember correctly they show the tan on their site.
Thunderball, Sunspel shorts, Ted Baker shirt and f&c woven shoes
The one and only club, or in my case Le Club piano bar
Next linen trousers, reiss sueded shirt. I just don't like black shoes with linen trousers so I wore some dark tan double monks. Watch is Omega smp.2220.80.00

Excellent! And I agree with you about the shoes Bond wore to the One and Only Club; too formal for the rest of the outfit. Double monks work much better!

I'm a bit guilty of doing that myself but it's usually if I want to break in some dress shoes that I acquired recently.
Bond probably threw on his Luffields to feel like he's in a serious casino.
I like your take on the One & Only Ocean Club outfit. I'm looking forward to Royale's version of the linen trousers. Now if only he would make the shirt.

That shirt I've got hits many of the sa shirt features, straight hem, one chest pocket and it is sueded, but as canoe2 says it's a crap idea for a warm climate..... As I found out yesterday. Mine is also " darkest blue " but photographs almost mid grey, in real life it looks black. but it does go well with the linen trousers and at night it takes on a look completely befitting a night out, I love it but 28 degrees Celsius at night with 77% humidity isn't it's natural habitat.
I've now worn my pink shirt and sky shorts so often on holiday my wife is asking why I packed 8 pairs of beach to bar shorts!! Well tomorrow I'm changing tack and going for the " my outboard capsized and I had to swim to shore" look. Which are David Gandy short length ivory shorts paired with my navy Sunspel.
I don't have a photo of it but I was at M&S and I think I spotted a pretty SA Dr No polo.
Even had the dark buttons et al.
Gonna check it out tomorrow but the sleeves will probably need shortening.
I'd read somewhere that it wasn't common for people to shorten polos but hey, if it's gonna knock around my closet for a long time, it may as well look good.
If it's up to spec, I'll probably post some photos.
For dinner I'm going thunderball as I've had pink shirt and sky shorts on at the beech today I've gone palmyra lunch tonight.
Next linen trousers, M and s shirt and belstaff sunglasses
First off, love all the pics you posted Chris! {[] but, this is an outfit I never thought you would go for. Glad to see you did. Looks fantastic! Next time you are in Florida, hit me up and we can go matching:

I'm not a fan of the black shoes with that outfit either. I like the light brown option, and double monks! That's inspired -{ I'll have to give that a go
Well considering bond had some brown suede derbies (John lobb?) I'm surprised he'd go for the Luffields??
My double monks are just a pair of single piece calf leather by Gilardo.

Oh, I like those shoes! Yeah, the brown suede derbies would have worked too.
Trying to get my DC street style ready for fall! Picked up this Banana Republic silk/cotton/cashmere black cardigan for $17 on clearance after additional 40% off this weekend (Reg $89). Budget alternative for the Lanvin he's been seen wearing. Plenty left in the store.

Yep, that appears to be the one.
I was AWOL from AJB and I totally forgot about it.
Turned out that they didn't have a size small. Medium was just too big on me.
Appears to be well made, for the price. If it's your size, grab it.

Not Bond or budget related, but I just want to remind you that our very good friend JamesBrosnan lives in Florida and may be having a tough time this weekend due to Irma. Let's keep him in our thoughts!

He's been front and centre of my thougjts every time I hear about Irma. I believe Nafets is down there too.
Thanks guys. I am in Orlando (I know a few other AJB'ers are as well) and it looks like we should be relatively ok. Unfortunately, it's path has turned to my home town of Saint Petersburg, and much of my family still lives there, so there is some worry. My thoughts go out to all affected and in its path. Don't hesitate to message me, if you need anything.

Good to hear your safe, I heard this morning that Irma has been re upgraded to a category 5!! Just when I thought it was blowing itself out.
Glad that you are OK James, our thoughts and prayers are with your family and I hope they are fairing OK.
It's crazy, here in Texas we had to deal with Harvey and now the after effects and recovery. Luckily my wife and I live 3 hours from the coast but we still had severe weather here. Cheers brother. -{

Thanks again guys. We weathered the storm ok, but lost power in the night. It's been off for almost 2 days now, and could be anywhere from 6-10 days. So, it's been rough, with the little guy especially. We are going to stay in a hotel until the power comes back. Losing all of the contents of our fridge, eating all meals out and now the hotel, it's a costly affair, but could have been much worse. My thoughts go out to those affected by this storm, as it was a very rough one and the aftermath is proving to be very trying times. I hope all the AJB family in Florida is doing well. To anyone on here suffering through this time, feel free to reach out to me with anything. We can get through this together and with the support of friends and fanily.

Happy to hear you're all safe! I know how rough it can be to be without power for 2 weeks after a storm. You're very lucky to be able to stay somewhere.
Thanks again gents, for the kind words and support. We finally got power back on, so things are returning to normal. Many people, unfortunately, are still without power and water is not as plentiful as it once was. Thankfully we stocked up, but I know a lot of people are subsisting on aid to see this through.
