So... Obviously at the moment Luigi and his colleagues are in the midst of Covid19... I have spoken to him and he is presently home based but OK. Im sure everyone joins me in wishing Luigi and indeed all of Italys people well (and anywhere else too for that matter)...
I have discussed the pts tie and as long as the hierarchy at TF agree, we will go with all 5 ties. The pts marketed as a recreation though for clarity that there is a slight shade difference in one strand.
So the spreadsheet has been submitted. 244 ties in total. Ranging between 40 to 53 of individual ties.
Once Luigi is operational that will generate a price, but not expected to be anything more than normal pricing.
And then emails with details / pictures / order process will head out directly from Luigi.
Mark, you are the best! Once again, thanks for your hard work and please relay my gratitude and well wishes to Luigi and his team as well. May everyone remain safe and sensible in this trying time.
I have to say, I like these ties so much more than the ones in SPECTRE and NTTD, which imho are just a little too plain and unimaginative. Well done Mark for organising again. {[]
Just noticed this thread! Am i too late to join the club? Interested for all of them.
A question for those who were involved with the previous project: How was the build quality? Were they also made by Luigi?
Thanks in advance!
Build quality of the Skyfall ties was top notch...which is expected, you are getting a brand new Tom Ford tie after all. Luigi doesn’t make them, he’s just the contact between all of us crazy Bond collectors and the decision makers at Tom Ford. I believe he’s some form of sales manager/MTM specialist with them.
Oh and regarding joining, it’s not too late. See post 167 in this thread for details.

The final spreadsheet is done but I havent sent it to luigi / TF as yet, but numbers are submitted and Im just awaiting the email reply confirming we are a go. Given the level of the situation in Italy that may be a while and I am obviously not pushing Luigi et Al.
So to Jordans respinse, yes you can still jump in but needs to be quick.

I just caught wind of the tie project. I just saw the post about the list being final. Is it still too late? I would like to be added to the "Bolivia" and "Greene Party" Tie if possible.

Is Luigi taking e-mails? I had a question for him, but I want to be very sensitive to his current situation in Italy.
I'd like to keep a sense of propriety intact.
Human life is obviously much more important than designer ties.

I have a query with him but decided to leave until TF Milan officially reopen
No Ive not heard from Luigi. Respectfully not chasing him presently.
Once they turn it around he will be in touch
Best wishes to him and his family friends colleagues
If he's Canadian like me, the exchange rate with anyone is really going to hurt. Right now 1 Euro = 1.53 CAD. X-(
If it gets any worse before we have to pay, I may have to drop a tie or back out completely.
Not working in over 2 months during the shutdown has really put a HUGE dent in my finances and working on contract in the construction industry means I usually don't get paid for at least 2-3 months and sometimes longer after project completion.
It could be 6 months since my last cheque came in before I see another one and that means needs come before wants unfortunately.
Pussy Galore: “My name is Pussy Galore.”
Bond: “I must be dreaming.”
1 Euro - 1.67 AUD...so I’m in the same boat It’s recovered a little from what it was in March—1.87 AUD!—but I don’t think it’s at the stage yet where I could grab the full tie set unfortunately.
I guess with the pandemic everything is up in the air, timescales, pricing, past commitments etc.
Nobody need feel bad if needing to withdraw. That is a necessity sometimes, family and finances come first.
I as much as anyone else enjoys the clothing side of this hobby, but if weve been taught nothing else through the last few months, there are certainly more important things in life.
Once I hear from Luigi and we are at a stage to move forward I will update the thread.
At some point I will be sending Luigi the details of who / which ties. So if before that time you are convinced you need to pull out, please feel free to PM me.
If unsure, there is no true commitment until we place orders, but obviously a mass drop off may mean a certain tie or even the whole project is dropped.
So in summary try to let me know if you need to pull out which will enable us to keep a tally of each style tie required...
Hope everyone is well,
just out of curiosity, what is the likelihood of this project moving forward and being completed?
And do we need to confirm, or are we only contacting Mark if we need to pull out?
Thanks

The project was approved by Tom Ford as we had the #'s needed for each tie but things are at a standstill because of COVID. I think Mark said he'll reach out to Luigi with order details and we'll have a finalized price. If you need to back out then just let Mark know!

Just curious - Which exchange rate? Euro to USD is almost 1:1.
