I’m working on the road full time and have limited clothes. With all of the Bond 25 excitement today, I threw together a quick Jamaica outfit, for heading out to dinner and drinks with co workers. Cheers gents! -{
Looks good, Clark’s on your feet? Omega black Seamaster on the wrist I assume?
Yes! You have a sharp eye and I love that. A used Seamaster Bronson era. Awesome watches and you can still find one for around $800-$1000. Geat watches and I love mine.
Can't go much more Bolivia QoS with what I have at home than what I got on today. Loake Kempton chukkas, navy jeans, navy OB Felix polo, navy Harrington, blue SMP.
Bespoke T&A shirt with cocktail cuffs and TWINE collar, TND tie, and Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso watch. (I know, TC wears one in gold but you get the idea)
Bough the M&S SPECTRE polo thanks for the tip from Canoe so gave it a test drive today
Good budget alternative than my Smedley Noah, neck line not as deep though on the M&S version but still passes muster for me
Cheers :007)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!

I still love that tie and it looks really good with a blue shirt. Maybe it is time I add it to my collection too. I've got quite a few T&A ties, but no 007 ones. If I'd ever buy one, this would be it.

Looks great, don’t forget Bruce Wayne wore that watch also, so that’s two billionaires you’ve captured in your look in addition to Connery, Moore, Craig, and Brosnan. Impressive!

Looks good! How does the fabric feel, I didn’t know how much the silk softens it up.

Thanks! Now that I think about it, all three of the major characters to ever wear a Reverso on screen (Bruce Wayne, Don Draper, Thomas Crown) all wear it on a brown strap so I guess I'm going in the wrong direction.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Don Draper, I think it looks great as is.
Today, spectre style puppytooth 5 pocket pants, black braided kangaroo belt, spectre style McQueen desert boots, slate grey tee with black shawl collar cardigan. Kind of cr on top and spectre on bottom. Some of my favorite stuff that mixes well together.
Rainy day here, so I’ve got a waxed Valentino Harrington, a blue knit polo, lucky jeans, saffiano belt, and black bay blue style watch. Another quantum look which is comfortable and seems to be popular among us here! Keeping it alive!

Softer than I expected. My budget TF before this was the John Smedley Noah which is soft to the touch. I expected this to be course like a pique polo but it’s not and I am pleasantly surprise.
Not completely SA but I fully recommend for the price.

Great to hear it worked out for you! Do you think you could leave a comment on the website with your feedback on it?

Today I wore a Connery/Lazenby/Moore/Craig-inspired outfit for a special photo shoot. My suit was a cross between the glen check suits in GF and OHMSS. The pattern has an overcheck like in OHMSS, but the pockets are straight and have a ticket pocket like in GF, and the trousers are the same forward-pleat style with DAKS tops as in GF. My tie was a navy grenadine tie like in most of Connery's films, but wider. And my shirt from Bond shirtmaker Frank Foster was pink like the shirt Lazenby wears a couple times in OHMSS but with a TMWTGG spread collar and OP button cuffs with a large button. The shoes were Craig-inspired, in the same style as the black quarter brogue oxfords from QOS but from C&J rather than Church's.
I'm happy to have taken inspiration from four Bonds in my outfit. Though I'm confident in my sense of style, it makes me feel more confident when my clothes are very close to things that Bond has worn.
Took a page out of canoe2's book and bought the Mango linen jacket in order to channel my Spectre look:
- TF tie as per this forum's special project.
- Mango jacket.
- Plain white shirt.
- Dockers chinos.
- J. Crew's Kentons.
- (Unseen) Brosnan GE Omega 2541.
Not a bad ensemble, I'd say.

I do love this outfit. Alas I can never seem to find the right occasion to pull this off
Can I make a suggestion? I think you nailed the fit up top. But the pants will definitely need some tailoring work; both in tapering/slimming the legs and also shorten the length. Right now they seem, with the desert boots, more "going for a hike" then "visiting a desert lair with Madeleine Swann".

Thanks for the feedback! I'm well aware of the pants fitting. They were bought under different circumstances (i.e., I was quite broader) and are too big now. Have a couple alternatives but will probably end up looking for new ones (you gotta love sizing down).
As for where to pull the outfit, google Andalusian fairs (Seville and/or Xerez).

How about two Bonds and a Crown?
Bespoke T&A shirt with cocktail cuffs and TWINE collar, TND tie, and Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso watch. (I know, TC wears one in gold but you get the idea)
