Does anybody have any idea what pieces will be included in the new collection for Orlebar Brown?

There is already a thread with pics.

Yeah I think the items based on an incorrectly colourised German lobby card and a pair of shorts Roger Moore once wore on his day off aren't likely to tickle too many Bond fans' fancies!
Ah well, I guess they're perhaps not mainly aimed at Bond fans but their own customers who like the Bond look a bit. I couldn't honestly say that there are many individual items of wardrobe I'd want from any Bonds earlier than Craig as he wears fashion.
Anybody have a link? Mine is still on countdown

Slim pickings really, especially for the money they want. Especially when you can buy a screen-accurate (hopefully) N Peal Cashmere t shirt for your better half for £195, but the "inspired by" Roger Moore silk t shirt is £50 more.

Yeah there are plenty of harringtons around to choose from, there are even plenty of screen accurate Bond ones if you want a 007 look.
However I Was looking forward to the FYEO tshirt, liked the look and colour but yeah that price is mad.
Maybe Ob thought after the last collection went so well, they would go more luxury in cost
Might plunge for the moonraker but not now, i'll see in the winter.

I too would have preferred a restock of the previous one instead of this. I never managed to get that A View To A Kill tracksuit.
The quality is higher? For OB's prices I wouldn't want it to be even possible that there could be a higher quality!
Think you’re right. Also: why not do the suit? Shows very clearly what the piece is based on.
Sean Connery's Bond suits also had plastic buttons. The buttons on the OB suit are very nice buttons and have a quality feel IMHO. The only thing I don't like is that they branded the buttons. And they did the suit, they're just selling the jacket and trousers separately for better sizing.
Well you can buy the trousers on there separately can't you? But not, as you say, a suit: presumably because they can charge you more if you buy all the bits separately!
As for the prices, frankly I found N Peal’s prices more irritating. Cashmere is so delicate that it’s almost impossible for me to justify. I’ve owned the Skyfall sweater for several years. Have worn it less than 10 times and it’s already starting to pill significantly. I’d rather pay the same price for one of OB’s pieces and wear the hell out of it. My Skyfall sweater just collects dust in the cedar chest.
Matt, yes I know but those buttons were common for the period. The branding on the buttons cheapens the whole thing for me, and I think they should be using the best in this day and age rather than the cheapest option if, indeed, they are plastic buttons!
