That tie is a classic, and yes very versatile, it has a similar look to the Tom Ford London tie, and it does have a grey sheen when in certain light. Best of luck on the tie, hopefully it will work out. I believe the tie is a staple piece, and I would actually get in touch with the boutiques to be kept updated when it does get restocked.
I’m in Milan, will see if Prada here has any tomorrow. Massimo Alba only had one Rain jacket (reserved for customer) but will make more (or can make to order).
Update, after visiting 3 stores I seemingly got the last one in Milan, funnily enough it was returned by a customer who wanted the ‘new version’, their loss…
”I hope this email finds you well. We are currently organising a delivery. Due to demand for this item we are taking payment in advance. Of course if it is not correct we can provide a full refund. The lead time is about 8 to 10 weeks.”
They didn’t end up requiring payment, but did confirm I was on the list. This week would actually be “8 weeks” of the 8-10, from that original time estimate.
The knives out braces aren’t from Albert Thurston, they were a different micro patterned design from another brand I can’t recall at the moment. I think they were identified by people ages ago as being plain black Albert Thurston braces
I think they were suggested as Thurston Braces in Black a while back, you can clearly see the leatherendings with the "button" system to remove the clips or leather-straps
I ordered one from TheRake on the 29th of September. Absolute radio silence until last week after emailing them. Apparently a shipment was lost and stock is nil. They've refunded me.

Fantastic work on the tie. A big thanks to Mattia and everyone involved in sleuthing this!
If anyone’s out and about in London and could pick up a SA one from one of the stores, would greatly appreciate it! 😊
Likewise for me too
Thanks M!
Glad you enjoyed the article 😊

Great point, and definitely buyer beware - best form of action is to speak to the boutique.
Once again many thanks for the comments, it was a joint effort with Mattia leading the investigation.

In what store in Milan did you find it?
So we are sure that the pattern of the tie is identical - with and without the logo?
are we sure its the correct tie? The TF boutiques I called (NYC, HOU, Beverly Hills) all say the dark navy is the screen worn tie...
That's the Grey POW suit
Err, gray, not navy.
Thanks - next time I wont bother replying to you at all
?? Sorry if I offended
Sorry if I offended but when I replied it said “Gray not Grey” lol
Prada on Via Montenapoleane
when watching this clip I always thought that Craig may wears the Drakes with the Dainite-Sole instead of crepe soles here

Has anyone heard anything from Anderson and Sheppard regarding their short sleeve henleys?
Its not coming out. Change of plans.
I thought it was long sleeve turned into short sleeve by wardobe dept?
They announced they were going to release a short sleeve version in 1 weeks time...I believe 4 weeks ago.
Did you hear that directly from A&S?
Your timetable is a bit skewed.
from email on 9/30/21:

Maybe a missed it somewhere, but did anyone post the braces Bond is wearing with the dinner jacket in Cuba?
if they’re Thurston, are they the same as his “Knives Out” braces?
Appears to be black with silver hardware, but I can’t tell if elastic or not, and the detail of the ends.

I had not seen those stills. Thanks.

They are albertt thurston but they have changed the leather fastening on the newer ones
