I wouldn’t be surprised if the DAF shirt sold out quickly. For me, along with the DN polo, it’s the stand out piece in the collection. Which is interesting since it’s not a look that I have paid much attention to in the film. Something about the OB reinvention just works.
I love the collection. The prices are steep, but from my experience OB quality is superb, plus they have to pay their share to Danjaq, so it's what I expected.
Now, if only we could actually get some warmer weather!
Wow, that one piece jumper is almost completely sold out already. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing (Bond or not Bond).
If my store gets approval to sell today, I'll head over this afternoon and try stuff on and pick up my items on hold. I'm not pushing them, though. If they have to wait until Wednesday, then so be it.
Cool - give us thoughts on sizing if you manage to get some
I’m a bit gutted as they’ve sold out of the DAF shirt in a medium already! That was the one piece that so really fancied. And it’s not even gone live properly yet!
I am a medium in the polos...if that helps....also, if something sells out don't panic too much....they will have another release from the depleted numbers.
Really like the "Property of Dr. Julius No, Crab Key" tag on the inside of the towelling robe, it's a nice little touch. Buuuut while I do love OB and their products, I don't think I can justify dropping the price they're wanting for the robe or anything else in the collection.
Really bummed the long sleeve polo is so expensive—it's double the price of the standard Sebastian LS polo and a little more than $200 Aussie more than the Sebastian merino. Despite the prices though they are selling heaps already! Most are down to only a couple of sizes (probably just pre full release stock though).
I am having a live stream event in NYC Wednesday (tomorrow) at 12 PM Eastern time to walk through the collection and every piece in detail. There will be a few familiar faces with me... click on the below link for the live stream, and if you subscribe and click the bell notification it will tell you when we go LIVE.
I’ve had a look at the collection. I’m a big Bond fan obviously and I’ve got over 50 items of OB clothing so I was looking forward to the release. I must say I am disappointed. The only item I would consider are the blue swim shorts but at £195 I won’t be buying.
I’ll just remove the side tag. I agree it shouldn’t be there, but it’s not a deal breaker for me.
Overall I think this is an inspired collection, but it’s amusing to see some of you - who think nothing of throwing down hundreds for an item DC wears for 3 minutes on screen, notwithstanding whether it’s even a stylish piece - giving this release a lukewarm reception.
I've seen this collection in person, and I was very impressed! Perhaps the lukewarm reception here is because it's not about Daniel Craig's clothes? His clothes are by far the most popular Bond clothes at the moment, naturally because he's currently Bond and his clothes are most current. Prices are certainly high, but they don't surprise me. I should have my items waiting for me when I'm home from the office today, and I'll be able to leave better comments then.

Hi Matt
Look forward to hearing comments on sizing if poss
I can't explain why, but I have a feeling ... just a hunch really ... that Welshboy wants to know about the sizing ...
I've seen the collection on-line and it's ... nice. As others have said, very expensive for what's there. I think most of the pieces look pretty generic, to be honest. I mean, linen camp collar shirts, espadrilles, toweling robes and merino polos aren't exactly rare. Pleated bib-front formal shirts are also common. The GF onesie is a novelty item. And I'm not crazy about the ribbed collar on the Dr. No polo, screen-accurate or not. MR shorts are more of the same from the last release (not sure how I feel about a floating Jaws getting ready to grab my junk ). The safari jacket is cool and that style is very popular right now. The 2 pieces that jumped out at me were the blue TB shorts and the DAF shirt. Really like those.
Look forward to hearing about the quality from the in-the-field reports!

Says “limited-edition” on the preview email
Yeah - but its the usual sizing headache for me
But get in there quick Welshy, you'll have time to exchange if you need to before things sell out
Used Ross' OB discount code on the DAF shirt and it worked a treat!
$495 for a long-sleeve polo? $80 extra for the Dr. No Terry polo vs their regular ones?
I like OB but not that much. -{
Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
I have one of the regular terry polos in a light blue but I like the detailing on the Dr. No version much more. You can’t really compare them.
Agree on the LS polo though. It’s not unique enough to justify that price. Same for the safari jacket, although I’m glad they included it.
That little bit of detailing to me does not equal an additional $80 in price.

He told me: We may look to re-stock a few items but yet once they are gone they wont come back.

That was quick!! Guess you went with your usual size
The 007 tag cheapens it quite a bit. It’s what you expect from novelty giftware brands.
Wow very quick to get it—even before OB has their proper release!

I had the Sebastian Polo in XL and it was very tight. Presume the towelling material has plenty of stretch maybe?
Also think I might have had to upsize in the SPECTRE shirt
Any OB experts on here regarding sizing on various items (bonus if XL people)
yes I'm normally an S in OB sizes (38" chest and 31" waist) - I think the XS would be rather "fitted"
I got the pre-launch email from OB and ordered the one item I could actually see myself wearing - not sure what to do about the side tag
Cool. Guess can be removed easily if need be.
Suprised Orlebar did this but maybe part of licence conditions?
