And it looks like the Malawi chair is also a great contender. And @HalfMonk HalfHitman shared pictures of what looks like an identical chair at the Goldeneye resort. Does anyone know if the Malawi was confirmed? Thanks!
Hi guys, two important findings to open the week with.
The first one: after months of uncertainty due to lockdown in UK, I've finally managed to reach out the Albemarle St. flag store of Paul Smith. They very kindly confirmed me Moneypenny will wear a pair of their trousers in the scenes that take place both at MI6 HQ and Q's flat. Those trousers, in 100% wool, were available from their collection at the time of filming, but aren't anymore. Plus, there are very few pictures out there: Georgia, my contact, only managed to provide a front view. Anyway, they're in navy with a pink/reddish windowpane check, belt loops and one rear pocket, right side, as BTS confirmed.
The second one. There had already been some interest in this piece. Unfortunately, Bond in Motion has definitely closed, but our good friend Peter Brooker managed to take a picture of Nomi's screen used outfit from Jamaica. The sandals she wears are from Givenchy, the Studded leather flat sandals (https://modesens.com/product/GIVENCHY-ELEGANT-STUDDED-FLAT-SANDAL-BLACK-4241499/), a gorgeous piece unfortunately not available anymore. In some HD pics you can barely see the very distinctive buckle closure, so I addressed to them and they gave me confirmation.

Very much appreciated. As for piece's ID is very simple: I analyse pictures in every single detail, then compare with the lots of pieces that are out there. But I must say there's also a good amount of luck, not counting the final "clue" and the help some brands give in confirming the ID. There's no trick, there's no illusion!
I'm very glad you read the posts with admiration. In almost three years since I started following this forum - and recently sharing with you my findings after I "specialized" in this branch - I've always found people ready to appreciate my work and share kind words and compliments about it. So, I have to say THANK YOU to one and all! 🤵🍸️
I think they made a mistake not letting Bond wear a dark jumper when he wears the Massimo coat. It just works better. It looks a little cooler and more contemporary. Something about the henley makes it look a little rough and 'thrown together.'
About that baseball cap: After getting some requests on Instagram, I started doing some digging.
I think we already know the following about it from the pics from the Omega promo video: soft 6 panel construction; rivet button on top, wide adjustable strap at the back (looks like there's minimal metal hardware).
Has anyone checked out Loro Piana? Here are 2 models from them this season: 1st, 3rd and 4th pics are the Remington, the 2nd is "My Baseball Cap",
This season, many of the close matches from them are missing the top button, but they could of had one with it back in the spring 2019 season. 2 things make me think it's a possibility: the wide leather strap at the back that doubles over and the use of their different Storm System technical fabrics (water repellent silks, cottons, cashmere, wool, and various blends, so they'd work for sailing). Plus, we know Craig has personally been wearing Loro Piana.
@Bond_Ambitions I did see that! "Skyfall" isn't exactly a common name for a color ....
I also went looking for LP caps from the 2019 spring season. There're still a few on Lyst that match 2 or 3 of the details (no logo, soft 6 panel, no vent holes, top button, etc.). But unfortunately they're all sold out so I can't find a full 360 view of any of them to see if the front details line up with that strap style. I'll keep hunting!
I've managed to track down the last 2 belts in Europe, as far as I can ascertain, that Mattia has put top of the list as likely candidates for Billy Magnussen's belt from the promo shot. I'll post them on the For Sale Thread.
Whenever I got to the checkout with Ireland, Sweden, France, Italy etc. when they said they had low stock, it always said that the sale couldn't be completed- when I called Timberland up, they said that the sites are sometimes slow to update stock availability, and that it meant that they were sold out. Good spot with Greece, but they may actually be out of stock.
Perhaps a member in Sweden or one of the other countries listing stock would be willing to act as a proxy. It's possible the shipping is locked by country.

Happy Saturday, all!
Not really wardrobe. But while I was doing research for tomorrow's post on Iconic Alternatives, I came across these:
It's the Rika rattan chair from Danish company House Doctor. I'm pretty sure these are the chairs on Bond's deck in the the Jamaica house scenes.
Thoughts?

Update: with much effort I think I've ID the belt worn by Billy Magnusses. The only reference we have are that is green perforated suede and has a leather loop, plus a silver buckle (click to enlarge details: https://www.007.com/wp content/uploads/2020/10/NTTD_DIGITAL_1S_BW_FULL_CHARACTER_BILLY_OV.jpg)
The closest match I've found is from Timberland. I've contacted them, but didn't know about connections with them movie. But the positive aspect is that they told me those belts are constantly produced so (maybe) it'll come back in stock (https://www.timberland.ie/shop/en/tbl-ie/outlet-collection/suede-leather-belt-for-men-in-green-a1byj023)
Excellent work - as always.
Much appreciated @MFisher
Quick Tom Ford suit question I'm hoping someone can help me with :)
Is the Tom Ford Navy Prince of Wales O'Connor suit at https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/shopping/tom-ford-oconnor-two-piece-suit-16062452 the same as the one David reviews at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYLfNVeCAR4. I'm looking to get the complete set of jacket, trousers, cocktail cuff shirt and shoes!
Aware it's the Highbury shoes from C&J but any help on identifying the shirt and rest of outfit would be greatly appreciated!
Hey,
It is indeed the same blue suit as featured in the reviews.
Good luck in completing the suit combo!
All the best,

More stellar work, Mattia 🍸
Great work again Mattia.
I sooooooo regret not going downstairs to see the NTTD exhibits when I called in to Bond in Motion on 29 February last year.
Little did we all know the extent of what was about to happen...
It is a shame really.
I had planned a trip to London last year, but unfortunately didn't get the chance...
I always read Mattia's posts with admiration. I will never figure out how he manages to find these pieces!

Thank you for this!

Very promising indeed, the strap does stick out from the back of Craig's head just like the leather strap on the Remington cap.
Don't know if you noticed John but on the silk version, the name of the colour is "Skyfall Blue". Pretty spooky.
All said I'm praying its a cheaper brand. $415 USD for a cap is nuts.

I have a friend who knows someone at LP. I've asked him to contact them and write back as soon as he has further info.
Fingers crossed🤞
I picked this up cheaply recently and it does the job for me.
$1,000+ for a baseball cap?!
You didn't see their $3000 pure vicuna one? 😁

Ver much appreciated 🙏
I just checked and at the time there are two available XL pieces. :)
If you can't complete the purchase due to BREXIT changes and you are interested in those pieces i might be able to help.
