in James Bond Memorabilia, Collecting & Props
Somewhere along the line, this hobby became a bit of a lifestyle.
Does anybody else's holiday packing look like this or is it just me?
Do yo use the things we talk about and buy here?

    Ha yes mine also looks like that :)) A lot of my favourite Bond stuff really only comes out on holiday - it's impractical to dress like Bond in Haiti or Tallamone when it's a cold wet weekend in Essex :))

    Does that Paradise Found Shirt have any 007 connection?

    Is it not a Brosnan Cuba style shirt?

    Yes, it is the closest I could find to the DAD Cuba shirt. It's a great shirt, I really like it.
    I reviewed it here...

    Well, I bought a tan-beigey linen suit that could pass as a Goldeneye, Cuba/The Living Daylights suit or as a lighter turn on the Cucinelli Spectre outfit when worn with taupe pants. Boots and Derbys would be very heavy for a linen suit like it, so I would swap 'em out for some loafers. And of course the Sunspel Riviera.
    This is an extremely small and slowly expanding (but very ambitious) Bond-inspired collection. I will "expand" it when my Dupont wallet (does it count?) comes back from hospital after its brief heart attack.
    That Paradise Found shirt looks nice. If I buy one in the future, I'll be sure to have the buttons swapped out.
    A wanted addittion would be the long sleeve, "cooper" collar white shirt from Die Another Day, but just like IA pointed out unless you have it custom made you won't be able to get one.
    a reasonable rate of return

    Sacrilege to change the buttons on a Paradise Found Shirt!!!

    It's like wearing a T-Shirt underneath an/or to tuck it under the pants!

    My thoughts are now turning to packing for the annual summer holiday. I'm heading off to Adeje in tenerife, we are expecting temperatures of around 29 degrees so I'll be packing plenty of linen and of course shorts :D Lots of Bond inspiration, including thunderball sky blue shorts and pink shirt, and I've finally found a butchers stripe shirt for a palmyra lunch outfit. La Perla and orlebar brown, one and only club outfit and I think I'll travel in my Spectre l'americain chinos, polo and suede jacket. Anyone else heading off soon and packing any bond outfits?

    Thanks JB {[], enjoyment is the goal and if I get some relaxation and some time for diving and jet skiing I'll be a happy bunny.

    What sandals did you use for the lunching at Palmyra outfit?

    I wear some leather thongs /flip flops at the moment with that outfit, but I quite fancy some birkenstocks.

    Not quiet holiday packing, but I have a biz trip this week and realised as I laid my kit out just how much Bond is ingrained in my selection even for business trips (or his vibe anyway).

    See if you can guess the film influencers :))

    Cheers

    Perhaps he's a licensed troubleshooter? And nice kit, Bond44!
