Its based on the numbers each member has confirmed they definitely will order.
Some are ordering a single tie, some all three, and some have confirmed two of each etc.
A few did say, definitely xxx but may order more. In that case ive only put down the definite number and they can then add more when order goes to Luigi (ive intimated to him the members who indicated theyd order more)...
That's what I thought but I just wanted to make sure
To cut a long story short, have been away from the forum for almost a year for personal reasons, just reconnected out of chance and saw this... did a quick financial check and HAD TO PLUNGE IN. Hope I made it (will try directly with Luigi if I don't hear back) but if not, no hard feelings, of course. Chance (or fate) would not have me in, I guess.
Seems appropriate that a TF project 'welcomes me back' to ajb007. Last I was around I was lucky enough to grab a Spectre knit tie, and had to pass on the blouson at the time of my 'disappearing'.
In any event, thanks and props to all members involved for making this happen, and glad to be back. Will stay around.
"Enjoy it while it lasts."
"The very words I live by."
Luigi will email everyone next week re ordering. Deadline for order placement will be 15th March...
I must also say thank you to everyone for the many thank you messages. Whilst time consuming, sometimes frustrating and occasionally hard work.... Its worth it when it comes off.
And to know how many members will be united with a long wanted item, its worth it!
Nice gift arrived too from a member, thanks buddy!

Dont panic re no email from Luigi, a few of you have messaged me. Hes just confirming final details with tf management.

Luigi is requesting photocopies of my passport and front and back of my credit cards. This is crazy as it against all banking policy and voids any insurace and anti fraud protection they offer on this transaction and others with this card in future.

I’m ordering ties not firearms aren’t I ?
I haven't received an email from Luigi yet. I assume they've been sent to everyone now?

I remember this being the same protocol as the one used for the Tom Ford Morocco tie special order. It gave me pause and I ended up ordering via wire transfer even though it cost more with the fee involved. I may go that route again.

If I can make a suggestion you should reach out to your CC issuer and let them know that you'll be having an international manual entry credit card transaction from Tom Ford Milan. This way when the transaction is presented it doesn't trigger any red flags. This is exactly what I had to do when I bought my Harrington 8-) I was thinking that Tom Ford needs to have some sort of portal where a person can log in and pay via CC or PayPal......
I know where you keep your gun!

I’ve just been speaking to Amex and my bank. This policy does indeed void all payment protection in perpetuity for that card if you do this.
I’ve never had to do this with any other TF purchase.

This is something that concerns me as well. I have placed manual entry orders before over the phone and via e-mail.
Have you sent him a message requesting him to waive the requirement?
Yeah. Apparently it’s company policy. Which goes against international banking policy. It may protect them, but removes any protection the card issuer offers the customer. I bought a gun yesterday without doing any of that )

Buy a gun no problem! Buy a few ties from Tom Ford Milan red flags ) I'm just curious but which type of AMEX card were you trying to use Green/Gold/Platinum?
This request (ID & CC Details) from LUIGI is the same as when the SKYFALL HARRINGTON JACKET orders were taken.
There was NO PROBLEM with those orders.
Basically DO YOU TRUST Tom Ford ....... in my case ...... of course I do. You're not dealing with a backstreet, dodgy, shady company.

It was actually Quantum of Solace I'm going to assume that not everyone who is buying a tie/s was involved in the Harrington project so if this is their first time it may be a little shocking to provide some of the information requested. As someone who works in the banking world i was a little hesitant to provide my details like that especially for a international transaction but that's why i let my issuer know what was going on. I don't think it's an issue of not trusting a company but having that much personal/financial info provided can be unsettling for a lot of people.
As before with other TF Projects ....... including the QOS HARRINGTON & POLO
Luigi will take Payment details first ........ Then after the minimum order number has been achieved ..... at that point Luigi will start taking the Full Payments.

TF isn’t the problem, apart from the small fact they are breaking many transaction and payment laws and practices. If you email your details, then that email is around for decades not just at TF but on many servers around the world. It’s utterly crazy for anyone to send their passport and credit card scans in an email, madness. This was never required on the original SF tie run, or any runs from C&J, T&A, Dunhill or Lobb.
Anyway, as it stands, Luigi agrees and a simple written confirmation is now all he requires. So all is good.

And written authorisation with the details of the amount and who you authorise payment to.
Here is what he said...
“Thanks for your recommendation, I will forward it to the company accountant department.
In case would you prefer to pay by card please send the authorization form and a text on the email stating as follow:
“I authorize TOM FORD RETAIL ITALIA SRL to charge my credit card given for the amount of euro ____”

"The very words I live by."
All details received and you are on the list!
1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
Luigi has confirmed you will shortly receive emails confirming the order process. Please look out for the email!
This will be open until 1st March as TF want this to wrap up swiftly.
Luigi is hopeful the ties will be ready for shipping within 6 weeks, so mid April.
So all in all a very fast turnaround.
Having got this far my big ask is we all reply and commit quickly to get this completed
1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.

To be on the safe side I would operate under the idea that he's looking for the whole amount....

Meeting M: Photo indicates TFT26-B but text indicates TFT42-B
PTS: Photo indicates TFT26-D but text indicates TFT42-D
Tri-Colour: Photo indicates TFT42-A and text also indicates the same model #.
Which one is the correct model# for M & PTS ties that we are to note on the order form? I assume it's the latter which closely matches the tri-colour?
Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
I did the 1JB-TFT codes for all three ties.
