Thank you @SilverFinger for all your products, and congratulations on your success and your recent Morocco suede launch!
We only hope to see more of what you got. I thought we could all provide a wishlist of items we hope you consider.
1) Spectre Morocco Belt - at this point Winston Saddlers and Magnoli Clothiers are leaving $$ on the table by not doing this.
2) Spectre Morocco Polo - would love one in Royale sizing, as Magnoli doesn't have larger sizes
3) Matera Massimo Alba Cord Suit\Ryan Reynolds Brunello Cucinelli Cord Suit with patch pockets - I'll take either version of these suits, khaki or beige, but I'm digging the patch pockets and the beige more for some reason; perhaps because it's more casual
4) Skyfall Shanghai Sharkskin Trousers - nothing particularly special you could say, as its just a pair of trousers, but it'd be nice to complete the set and get that sharkskin weave with the Royale peacoat
5) Morocco Blazer v3, either reprint or perhaps a wool\slk\linen blend like the original?
What are your top Royale Filmwear dream items?

We need more options for this jacket out there! Magnoli is the only one offering up one, and Belstaff has zero interest in bringing this jacket back, and other makers want a jacket in hand to make it.
struggled to think 5…..
1) Brunello Spectre Belt
2) White Ocean Club CR Shirt
3) Venice Polo Shirt CR
Magnoli has a replica of this.
1 through 5:
blue John Varvatos suede racer from Spectre
yeh, I know I’m dreaming …
That Daniel changes his shipping way and costs to Germany ( from other shops in austrailia new zealand world wide i only pay about 50 $ for shirts and stuff ) and not 240$ that Daniel would like to have
i find this very unfair practise i also worked in the film industrie ( 14 years lucas arts ) and i know how to send props and costume parts world wide
i have the money to spend on Daniels items but there is no way im paying the over charged shipping costs ( that funny is only for Germany and Italy )
my little rant over
please think about this Daniel

Royale already makes one of the items in the lists above (the Spectre trousers).
You have to figure that some of these pieces would be much easier than others. Daniel hasn't had the best of luck with trousers, it seems, and the first iteration of the Morocco sport coat wasn't beloved.
I'd have to think that the CR white Ocean Club shirt wouldn't be too difficult if he could obtain a fabric similar to the original. It's an unusual fabric from what I understand. I wonder if there's a big enough demand, though.
Magnoli, to me, has dibs on the CR rugby shirt at this stage, but he's let popular sizes go out of stock, so who knows whether he has plans to do keep it in production.
I owned the SF sharkskin trousers, and I have to say they are nondescript enough that you can currently pick up dozens of alternatives today without Royale needing to make their own version. Search "grey sharkskin trouser " and what you find are likely to be indistinguishable from what Craig wore.
The Spectre Morocco Belt seems like it would be fairly straightforward given that leather belts are manufactured for pennies on the dollar around the world. But the design is unusual enough that there haven't been good alternatives. That would be the one item I'd definitely pay for.
Royale did the Ocean Club Linen Trousers from CR (Ted Baker) and the Spectre Puppytooth Tousers (Neil Barrett), but not the chinos of a thousand buttons from Brunello Cuchinelli worn with the BC linen blazer. In real life the BC Chinos are quite slim. For me too slim to even get my legs into, so a more straight fit version would be most welcome.
My interests are going more to the casual items (Spectre Morocco belt, CR Ocean Club shirt, DAD Floral Shirt, chinos, etc.), especially what would be good on a tropical holiday.
That’s right! I confused the two, which is odd because I bought the Royale linen trousers from CR. 🤣
I own a couple of the BC thousand button chinos in close but not SA shades. The color would be a difficult match, but the fabric even more so. It has amazingly soft hand. Usually with high end stuff you can’t feel the luxury, but my chinos are definitely a cut above.
The miracle has happened!

That’s awesome guys. I was fortunate to snag the JV when it was first announced, and if this comes close, you will be thrilled. I never get so many compliments from women as I do on the Varvatos and I expect this will be the same.
Now that Royale has made the London race and Morocco polo, and is working on the Engineered Garments Cuba jacket, I wonder how new updated lists will go!
Mine is now:
1) Spectre Brunello Cucinelli Braided Leather Belt
2) Spectre Linen Blazer 3rd run, hopefully with wool\linen\silk material blend
3) NTTD Cord Suit\Ryan Reynolds Brunello Cord Suit
4) Norway NTTD Oatmeal Connolly Shirt
5) Massimo Alba Black Norway Cord Pants
Honorable mention:
6) Norway Green Duster
I would love a good quality version of the AVTAK velour tracksuit.
Orlebar Brown did this a few years ago as a part of the 2019 Bond collection. I own it and it's great. Keep an eye out on here in case anyone's selling one (I'm not).
You can see a picture of it here:
Reiss has a decent one! Can't seem to find the pants though.
While I agree with many of the suggestions above - including the better Morocco jacket and a Sloop suit, I think tailored menswear requires a lot more to copy (including quality fabrics) and our standards should be higher than for casual wear. I want Daniel to succeed in everything he does, but I’m not sure he’s ready to dive into the more tailored end of the spectrum just yet. When he is though, I’ll be his biggest customer!
That's superb! How did you find that? It's even velour, which the OB one wasn't.
On sale for half price in the UK too.
CR PTS funnel-neck cardigan
CR Venice Polo
CR Ocean Club white SS shirt
Skyfall Levi's Menlo
Did I mention the CR PTS funnel-neck cardigan?
I could not resist buying this (for half price here) and it's excellent! Really decent close-enough match for the AVTAK one, loads of fun, thanks for the heads-up!
I found it by doing a random check of the website to see what their summer linen blazer colors are like this year and ran into this jacket. Glad you like it!
Unfortunately it looks like they don't have the matching velour pants the model is wearing in the photo.
Wow that is a lucky find!
No bottom half, no; the Cardinal joggers are kind of close but they only have those in chocolate here. But that's okay, I'm happy enough with the jacket - it's so close I don't doubt they were homaging the Fila one! It's really nicely made too - selling out in the UK so I advise anyone who likes it to buy one now.
Honestly I’d love the suit from the end of casino Royale.
Even tho its been put on hold the Levi’s vintage leather jacket from enjoying death.
Maybe shoes in the future if that’s possible.
Oh yes! the CR Ocean Club white SS Shirt. I have been looking for something similar in years. No luck.
I am keeping an eye on the Orlebar Brown one for years but no Mediums are ever on sale in the usual sources. I think it is about time to look elsewhere.
You are right. The Reiss one used to be the closest match on the market but Mediums have vanished worldwide. It is a dead end for me as well.
I take medium so I ordered a large and a small, and to be honest neither fit badly. I guess I'm slightly closer to the large side of things but I haven't decided which to keep yet. It's also actually a bit too warm here to try it on again at the moment! :)
I agree it would be a good one for Royale to make though, it's a pretty recognisable look.
1) Belstaff Patterson - Daniel now has experience with leather after the Miami bomber. I trust that the accuracy/price/quality would be far beyond the limited offerings that are out there.
2) Menlo - only caveat is that I would want to see it in accurate proportions - don't lengthen it to make it more "accessible" to non-fans. Lots of copies out there that don't have that unique cropped profile, so why add another?
3) Thunderball camp collar shirts - the blue striped alternatives I've seen never seem to get the stripe pattern/size/colour right. And a striking Rose colour would be awesome.
4) One piece collar white linen shirt from DAD - few white long sleeved camp collar shirts out there, but this is a one piece collar shirt that I've yet to find.
5) Black silk shirt from NTTD - a viscose or lyocell fabric would drape just as well but also launder better and be far more reasonable in cost.
Bonus - fisherman's knit sweater from TLD or grey turtleneck from DAD. Not sure how easy it would be to do knitwear, but these would be great. Perhaps more accessible in a merino rather than cashmere? Just don't cheap out and go for cotton for "comfort" (i.e. increased profit) as some others have...
