I definitely have been bummed out with OB lately in regards to the Bond stuff. Seems like extremely minimal effort on their part for Bond collections as of late. Maybe that first collection was just too good??
Yeah I think they nailed everything first time around for sure. Second collection was a bit iffy but the odd thing was ok. Now they are just rehashing the same old in random colours!
interestingly the £25k zippo 'turd' only sold 1 edition (you could buy 001 at launch and then it changed to 002) and was then labelled sold out...I wonder if they melted down the remaining 5 or just corporate gifted them.
Yeah it is a bit weird to have different companies basically competing with each other making homage clothing, as you say. I think I might even be a little annoyed if I were from those companies, but I can't speak for them, maybe there's more to it. There seems a bit too much crossover in the nature of the product - I don't feel entirely sure even which company is making which piece without looking. Where you've got, say, Lock an Co.'s range, they at least have the one main licence to produce a homage hat line.

Thanks for posting Blair.
I think the Nehru might be my favourite piece from this collection. It can be worn elegantly for a dinner party, or dressed down with a pair of jeans.
Not a fan of the old Bond movies as they're too old for me lol. But that Sean Connery suit is so stylish, I'd definitely wear that
😬
highley overpriced but it has something, I really like the idea
For your iPhone!? :)

Have Connolly recently been acquired by an infant school?
Oh dear…
The office post has be absolutely dying. Dwight was clearly Connolly’s inspiration.
