The 31 pounds for shipping to the states is a deal breaker on that one, for me.
I was about to buy a medium until I saw the shipping price at checkout. It's insane. I left it in my cart and hopefully they email me with some kind of shipping discount offer to get it sold. We'll see.
I was contemplating the purchase for a few days waiting for someone to do a review of the sweater (thanks JG007), I would swear that originally the shipping came up as 20 instead of 31 pounds, I almost didn't order it as well, but went ahead and bit the bullet. If you hear of any response that indicates a discount, let me know as I would go back to them for a credit. The extra 11 will be ok if it keeps me from spending 465 for the NP version.

Pleasure, I’d be interested to see others thoughts once theirs arrive. I’m very happy and may even tempt me to wear a little often more than first thought. I’m very pleased with mine and has definitely settled my minor temptation for the N Peal.
I’m going to finish mine with drawstring end toppers to prevent them fraying but also to finish the jumper off. They’ll look cool too. Hope everyone else’s arrive safely and I’m looking forward to seeing others reviews
Keep checking. I ordered mine in a short time when they had become available again. I signed up for email notification, but I never got an email. So keep checking.
Considering how cheap this item is to manufacture and the mark up,
I would be very surprised if they discontinue it any time soon.
Especially since "No Time To Die" is all over the product page
Preach..... being on a cop's salary I definitely have to pick and choose where my money goes.. tie clip, cuff links, etc.. I go budget choices.. I had to get the Skyfall "trinity" of jackets from the actual makers - Levis, Barbour, BR... but completely content with my close enough Connolly (thanks to an AJB member in the UK who hooked me up when those went on sale). plucked the RGT jacket off a consignment site for $100 ! As well as scored a few of the R&B henleys that way too... Some things, if I am just dead set on finding the actual brand - I'll buy outright.. some I wait for a bargain.. and some I just gotta go "close enough"..
I hate to be that guy but other than the price tag how is this tie clip any different than 95% of your standard silver tie clips?
Bond didn’t wear the others.
I was working with a customer and saw your comment and it made me LOL to the point she asked me what was so funny? I told her nothing but in reality she probably wouldn't have understood )
Darker blue tie is with navy pow (which given the widths compared to the other ties looks right)
The tie we've seen with the blue suit is not the navy ottoman tie, though it's possible he wears that tie with the suit in scenes we haven't seen photos/clips from yet.
Matt
Totally agree.
Tbh I dont think TF actually know.
Having got the grey pow mtm I just want the right tie, think I need to buy both to be safe.
Usual conundrum we get each film over ties.
Spectre was no different with the odd colour names (Q lab was called navy when was kinda purple)... )

You're right. I think Tom Ford are just pairing what they think is closest without taking the close look that we are. So far Tom Ford have not put forth a tie that matches the one that Craig wears with the blue. I believe the tie is a pinhead pattern in a shallow twill weave.
Hi Everyone, apologies to Noi for hijacking his post. Can anyone shed any light on the identity of TF Tuxedo braces. I'm not sure they are Albert Thurston as I can't find any black braces with a rivet on the leather ends and what looks like a small adjuster. Happy to concede if anyone has any insight. Thanks.

The rivet on the leather ends allows the leather tabs to be switched out for clips. So if these aren't the right ones, braces that clip-on and button-on are what to look for.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but listening to the ‘from tailors with love’ podcast today, Pete B mentioned right at the very end he had some 007 Sunspel items for review but were embargoed before launch. He said one item will be coming out in April, and the other delayed until November, which I assume is to coincide with the film release. There was a tip that some other bond brands were making a comeback in NTTD, and we all jumped on the Barbour jacket, but with some swim wear still unidentified, as well as other bits and bobs, I’m sure Sunspel will feature. I’m guessing the April item that hasn’t been held back will be one of the swim items so as to capture a summer market (in the northern hemisphere), and the other will be something less seasonal...

Thanks Matt. These are the closest I have seen from AT. May need to wait for better images of the braces as the banner doesn't provide the best image quality.

Much better than my Douglas Pell one I have been using up until now.

Lighter blue tie is with pow grey
Darker blue tie is with navy pow (which given the widths compared to the other ties looks right)

Are you sure it's not something like this?

It's not same TF's choice.
Very similar to Thomas Pink's in Spectre's last scene.

I saw a pic a few days ago so presume that is the current item they are referring to.
