Spring 2017 deserving of a new Sunspel

Herr Michael

Going back to Casino Royal which is arguably the best DC Bond movie a brand new Sunspel Bond polo was despatched via DHL for me yesterday and arrived today.

I threw it in the dryer with a wet towel but creases are still evident. My last Sunspel polo is so faded, but in otherwise great condition, I'm thinking of re-dying it.

Thanks Sunspel. Always awesome clothing.

Incidentally, it's 75°F here right now.

Looks good!

How about a steamer for the creases? I've found mine to be a worthwhile investment with all the Bond clothing I received folded up in the mail...

Looks fantastic man! Nothing beats the original. Need to pick me up a new one too. {[]

Herr Michael

Yep, I have a steamer, but I was in a hurry to get outside wearing it and enjoying some Spring weather.

The steamer came in very handy for the Royal Filmwear peacoat. Took the creases from shipping right out.

Herr Michael

Thanks for the comments. The cotton material can't be beaten!

I live in my Navy, Bkack and White ones throughout the summer. Refresh every year and resell old ones and a decent return. Navy with beige chinos or jeans is a winner with PO on OEM rubber on your wrist. I use the Black for my version of the QOS Haiti rig with white Levi's, brown kemptons and Royal Harrington sans same PO on bracelet (very versatile that watch). And I just like the white one paired with Navy or Black jeans or chinos for a similar vibe.

Recently bought the Spectoral Grey which is proving a hit for Winter/ Spring with Black Chinos

OP Looking good my man - enjoy!

Cheers :-)

Good style Bond44. I like the way you pair all the pieces. I would recommend picking up the sky blue riviera as well, it gives a great Connery vibe. I've been thinking about getting the spectral grey one as well. When I saw that Bond's suitcase had the grey TF polo, I thought the Spectoral grey Sunspel would be a great alternative for that, just haven't figured out what would go well with it. Black chinos is an interesting idea, I'll have to give that a shot when I pick up the grey polo. -{

JB - You know what I actually have the sky blue one I bought for a business trip to Thailand last year - completely forgot I had it - still wrapped in my wardrobe! Thanks for the reminder can pair that with Navy chinos and Brown suede boots as well - result!(well that is 5 days of the week covered)

Have to say I love the Sunspel polo for the price vs TF you cannot go far wrong. Personally I would rather refresh 5 Sunspels annually than wear one TF but thats just me - they seem to fit me better. That said OB are producing some nice pieces just saw their Navy Massey LS Polo - very nice!

Cheers :007)

Where did the contents of Bond's suitcase come from? I've not seen that before.

It's from a Jame Bond exhibition in Paris I believe. One of the guys on here took a picture of the open suitcase from Spectre while he was there and posted the picture. It's on a thread here somewhere, but I can't remember. Wish we could get to see the rest of the clothing inside the suitcas, but seems that will be hard to do. I emailed a guy at the museum about getting a list of the clothing, when the show was going on, but he never responded. Never picked up the phone either. I was going through a lot of medical issues during that time, so I didn't pursue it as well as I wish I would have. Though, the property is likely owned by EON, if I understand correctly, and getting a hold of them is extremely difficult from what ive heard.

This has just been sent to me by Sunspel via email. They are doing a buttonless Navy Polo. I wonder what it would be like. I also wonder if there is some Tom Ford influence going on there

Definitely some OB Felix influence there

Is that the new buttonless polo? Or another one is being released?
