The Graham - unwashed or otherwise - is not at all confirmed to be the one in the film, right?
Not that I've heard. Some people here make pronouncements about these things like they have Suttirat on speed dial. )
The Graham was inspired by the Barbour Bedale, which is as classic a piece of casual outerwear as exists, and it has a lot of the same lines and features. As I understand it, it's been only recently that Barbour has come out with more fitted jackets, and this is not one of them. I find it amusing that some here think it looks too fashion forward and others think it looks like something from granddad's closet. Can it be both?
iChaice, from what you've written, I think you might like it better in an XS. That's not to say the S is a bad fit. But I suspect you'll feel more comfortable and at ease trying the XS before you give up on the Graham altogether. Just a suggestion.
I learned long ago not to buy clothes, let alone watches, I was on the fence about. In the end I would never end up wearing a piece I was unsure about.
the Graham unlined is the jacket that's in the film. I don't really care who believes me.
I will refrain from saying I told you so when the film is released. :007)

Its only clothes!
Buy what suits you or if you like it.
If the 007 connection gives you an enhanced love of it, we All get that and honestly ive got loads of gear that I may not have gone for bar the bond link.
Each to their own!!!
Personal view, Barbour is a great brand and IF they are back, fab. The Graham is a loose fitting jacket I can thro on a pub seat without worry (unlike say my Matchless or TomFord stuff).
Those who have either version, enjoy it!

I actually prefer the look and feel of the washed. Screen accuracy be d@mned. With the Billy Reid Peacoat I bought the charcoal color. Much dressier and more versatile than the navy.
It's all personal preference. So absolutist proclamations about the Washed being inferior to the Unlined (based on a few relatively minor details) is, I mean, do you, I guess. But I actually prefer the Washed. I don't like the completely uninterrupted line of the Unlined.
For me the Bond journey includes introducing me to brands I wouldn’t normally know about. Screen accuracy is not important to me.
RGT is a perfect example. I had never heard of them before the trailers. I tried on the SA Supply jacket but didn’t like the colour. I ended up getting one in grey which I like much more and also a denim Supply jacket which is sublime.
If there's any more casual clothing left to see I hope its some fall/winter stuff. Beyond the N.peal the majority of the wardrobe is summer/spring so far.
I’m sure this has been discussed here and I have tried to find it, but I’m curious about the fit of the R&B Henley? I’m a 46 chest and 36/38 waist. I’m thinking an XL. Can anyone offer some advice for me?

I wasn't sure when I first got them. But I live in southern California which means I wear sunglasses pretty much all the time when I go out and I find myself wearing the Vuarnets probably more than any other pair I have when I'm dressed casually. They just work and are very comfortable.
So, to complete the Jamaica look, I ordered the Legend 06s. They arrived today. Am I missing something? I'm shocked by how cheap they feel. They've been praised on the forum but they look and wear like a pair dollar store sunglasses. I'm disappointed.
The frames aren't anything special, but IMO Vuarnet makes the best polarized lenses of any of the sunglasses manufacturers Bond has worn. Compare your Legends with something from a fashion brand like TF or even Barton Perreira. Wear a pair of BP Joes on a day on a sailboat and your eyes will feel scorched.

Yo, those shorts look REALLY close. I'm tempted to get a pair.
yup they look close, even the silver tips of the draw strings
it seems that Craig ones dont have the white Derek Rose lable on the right side but it could be removed by the costume department, the problem I have is that every swim shorts from DR has two silver-coloured rings on the back side and I don't see them on craigs shorts
I'm usually not one to complain about customer service...
but I must say, Connolly England has been one of the worst customer service experiences that I have had.
I e-mailed 3 different addresses provided by the company concerning the misleading pictures on their website
of the buttons that come on the bomber. I was very polite and simply asked if they would, in the future, be able
to provide the lighter buttons as pictured on their site.
I have had zero response from them. They clearly don't care. Unfortunate, as I would have liked to purchase from them
in the future.

ye I made the same experience, I contacted Maximo and e-mailed two other mails and have asked them for an exchange (XXL-XXXL), the buttons and the upcoming shirt but haven't received a single response, thats a bit disappointing (but my personal number one worst customer service is still Matchless)

maybe they were colored
The Derek Rose shorts were mentioned in May 2019 on this thread (I was in Ibza at the time) and I reached out to Derek Rose. They confirmed it wasnt their shorts (as far as they knew). So I held off...

I've looked for these shorts relentlessly. One of the closest shorts I have come across are the Grigioperla Nero Perla Cruise swim shorts
Does anyone know the size of the Tom Ford suits that they gave Craig to wear in No time to Die?
His suits look a lot more fitted in Spectre, which I'm not a huge fan of.

I have had the same experience from Connolly with zero response from any emails regarding an exchange. I have given up to be honest and changed the buttons myself for something I thought suited better. Checking the sizing guide, their sizes only go up by 1 cm in the key areas so changing from a XXL to XXXL will not make a big difference for me.
I personally think Connolly either don't have the capability to deal with so many enquires, complaints, etc and are only a small time boutique in Mayfair who struck gold with the Bond placement but have failed to capitalise on it. Or COVID massively reduced their ability to deal with customers in the correct manner. Either way I won't be making any future purchases from them!

Personally I like the change from the skin tight jackets Craig mostly wears. You can always have alterations done if desired.

Not sure the size XS exists
Well, that would take care of that!

there is an R&B Henley ebay-auction Size M. starts around 11 pounds (it has stains at the back, sewn up a hole at the front, there are some pictures of it)

from the same person an XL ends today for 31 pounds, which is quite affordable if the mistakes don't bother you

I hope the seller is trustworty, no experience with him

The "olive" is actually quite nice in person. More of a dark greenish brown. Perfect autumn color for the jacket.
This is a small, which fits me pretty much like a normal jacket size large.
I've looked for these shorts relentlessly. One of the closest shorts I have come across are the Grigioperla Nero Perla Cruise swim shorts
http://www.internationaljock.com/grigioperla-nero-perla-cruise-swim-shorts-navy,77106.html
I hope these are not the shorts as they don't appear to be available anymore.
don't think so, the Grigioperla got a notch on side which don't appear on the sa ones, beside of that the drawstrings looking too short
