Ha ha fair point! This meant is mainly so that people can "show and tell" about their favorite piece to others who share this crazy hobby! The outside world does not understand...
Nice items!!!!!! Missed out on the Skyfall Tux at the time - probably my biggest regret as I was offered one in my size for a great price. I did grab the Casino Royale Brioni one though
Best Value: Agree with you there on the Sunspel Polo and Tees, great place to start if new to this game
Craziest Purchase: Dior Mr White Jacket & SPECTRE Polo (for what it is)
Fave Jacket: Dior Mr White Jacket, crazy luxurious
Fave Footwear: CJ Skye's but since that's DC personal I will go with the JCREW boots, great value for money in Bond collecting terms
Fave Bond watch: Rolex Sub but in DC Bond terms will go for the SPECTRE Seamaster or CR / QOS 2500 series Planet Oceans

Sunglasses - has to be the CR Persols
PS - QOS had the best ties hands down!
I think I actually saw the casino Royale Brioni tux only a few months ago at an outlet type designer store but it was waaaayyy too big for me! It has an 007 logo on the inside lining right? Super nice and extremely rare piece!
Wow Matt, brilliant (...and very expensive) collection! I'd say my favourite pieces have to be the Sunspel polos. I own a few other Bond clothing items but the polos will probably always be my number one, they're just so versatile. They can be thrown on with essentially any pants or shorts and under any piece of outerwear...and the price isn't half bad as well.
Here are mine:
1. The navy TF polo from QOS, really like it.
2. The Orlebar Brown swim-shorts. Own two different colors
3. PTS TF Skyfall suit.
4. Tetbury, I liked them so much I bought them in suede.
5. 42mm 8500 PO
6. TF dress shirts are very soft.
7. Others, but havent really worn them frequently enough to put on list (islay, alex, BR peacoat, Menlo, PTS Skyfall TF tie, etc.)
Sadly my blood isn't as rich as some of you guys' (Welshie & Sruzgar it would take you several pages to get through your collections ) ) but my favourites are:
1. Barbour Commander (been everywhere with it, practical and looks good) with All Saints iggys
2. My TF aviators (Skyfall ones, can't remember model)
3. TF tie from the Greene party and Du Pont cuff links - special occasions only
4. t&A ties - I have most of them from the Brosnan era, but the TND Hamburg one is by far the nicest
5. Not sure if it qualifies but I have a great Fleming-esque navy/ black knitted silk tie
6. Finally, can't wait to wear the Royale Mr White Altausee jacket which turned up this week.... -{
My fave possession is my Rolex GMT ,pussey galore and MR Craig ,have them but as I got it before I was a true Bond nut ,so it dosent really count 8-) ,I have a Barbour Commander ,various C&J ,but the Camberlys are my faves .My 42mm PO Omega ,Sunspells , autographed book by big Roger, but I like my Jack Bulldog best he sits next to my 1/32 scale solid pewter DB5 ,but my greatest
possession of all ,is my friendship with you guys ,money cant buy that

Wow cool list
1. Sunglasses i love the QoS TF - fits me so well cause i have a small face hahaha and that special feauture with the no nose bar is cool
2. From all jackets i really like the barbour but the weather here in Indonesia doesnt support the use
3. TF Cardigan i got a Zara alternative also very cool
4. Chukkas from Spectre my fav that dessert colour goes well with jeans and also black skinny jeans
5. Watch - Def the Spectre LE cause its so special in so many ways, and the CR Seamaster , the AT Skyfall is also special but the new bracelet used in Spectre with the polished links make the skyfall one kind of boring
6. Daily use the grey CR shirt is awesome
7. Skyfall GAzelles are also cool for being so limited
8. Skyfall Tux and Grey turkey suit so iconic
9. Cuff i use the orbis ones and JB ones i made haha
thats my opinion hehe
1. Church’s Chetwind in Nevada. Amazing shoes with a GoldenEye connection.
2. Omega Seamaster Professional (the new one with the ceramic bezel). Not screen accurate but this is the first Seamaster that I really liked. I know the wave dail is classic Bond but it didn’t do it for me. When I saw the newer ceramic version I was sold. The watch I wear almost every day.
3. Orlebar Brown Felix polo. I know this is not something that Bond wears in the movies, however, Orlebar Brown has a Bond connection and I like these polos a lot more than the Sunspel Riviera. I have two Rivieras but wear my Felix’ a lot more.
4. My dinner jacket. Not Brioni, not Tom Ford but come on, everybody that wears a dinner jacket stands in front of the mirror and does the gun pose before leaving the house..... right? Am I really the only one who does that?
5. Church’s Ryder III, still breaking these in. Noticing this is a different last compared to my Chetwinds and Consuls, takes some time to get used to.

Did you grab the Skyfall Tux from the original release or do they still make it to order?
They still make it!
Which version of the Harrington did you get? The one with the leather lining on the collar or the one with the piping on the pockets only?
1. The navy TF polo from QOS, really like it.
2. The Orlebar Brown swim-shorts. Own two different colors
3. PTS TF Skyfall suit.
4. Tetbury, I liked them so much I bought them in suede.

There is no leather on the Harrington that I can see but I'll have to take a closer look.
1. Barbour Commander (been everywhere with it, practical and looks good) with All Saints iggys
2. My TF aviators (Skyfall ones, can't remember model)
3. TF tie from the Greene party and Du Pont cuff links - special occasions only

Since 2012 my home wi-fi is named Skyfall.
Not a complete set, and not all are in the best condition. But they're easily my favorite Bond items.
CR/QoS, TLD, DN, GE, TSWLM, LTK, TND, TWiNE, TMWTGG, TB
