Connery's polo shirt in Thunderball

DanielC

Does anyone know the brand of this polo shirt which Bond wears at the health clinic in Thunderball?

isn't it the same long sleeve polo he wears later in the film?

Looks like the sleeves are rolled up

No, that one has black buttons if memory serves.

Nobody really knows but if I had to guess, considering it has been around for such a long time, John Smedley, perhaps?
It's a shot in the dark as as far as I'm aware it was never auctioned.
Maybe he wore this one or the one he wears later in the film with the black buttons for an interview that's currently on YouTube that was filmed on M's office.

Yep, it's the same one.

I think the only way to find out who made it would be to first find winter British 1964/1965 knitwear catalogues and see if there's a match. And even then it wouldn't be proof of anything. There are so many brands that were around then that nobody has ever heard of today.

I see.
So CR and OHMSS weren't the only ones that had Bond wear something twice.

Thunderball had other things worn twice, even more if you count the hacking jacket from Goldfinger!

That's actually a short-sleeve polo under the jumper.
