Orlebar Brown 60th Anniversary Collection
TR007
Posts: 23MI6 Agent
Has anyone heard if OB will be releasing a new line for the 60th anniversary celebrations? Or even if they'll re-release some of their more popular items that always sell out quite fast (DAF shirt, AVTAK zip top)?
I feel like they missed a trick not restocking their 007 collection when No Time to Die was released in September. I remember doing a lot of shopping in Burlington Arcade after the premiere and popping into the OB store to see that the only 007 item they had in stock was the grey t shirt.
I have emailed them twice about this but have to date received no reply. Does anyone else have any info on their plans for 2022?

I thought they did re-release everything again? At least online anyhow
They re-released some items in spring 2021 but nothing to tie in with the movie's release sadly.
I agree it was/is mad how that Orlebar Brown has no Bond stuff when it's directly opposite Burlington Arcade which was/is fully dressed up for NTTD/60th - it should have full Bond decals in the window and as much of the capsule in there as possible
actually the most bizarre and counterintuitive move on their part possible
Obviously, the next move is The Felix Leiter Legacy Collection - for when you're not just a pretty face...
There are quite a few pieces that they could explore with a 60th anniversary collection, I reckon- they could produce the powder blue shirt and trousers that Rog wore in Live and Let Die, or the other safari suits that he wore. The Massimo Dutti rugby shirt that DC wore in Casino Royale. The white shirt that DC wears in his scenes when he enters The One & Only Club. The black shorts that Brosnan wears in St Petersburg? DC's "other" pair of budgie smugglers at the end of CR with the burgundy and white stripe? For the Bond girls in ours lives? The Ursula Andress swimsuit? Or Halle Berry's homage from DAD? For the villain collection- and OB's penchant for towelling- how about Goldfinger's Fontainebleau ensemble. Or henchman Quist from Thunderball wore a towelling lined striped shacket. But they must consider doing an homage to the Brioi floral shirt that Brosnan wore in DAD. I talk about all these options at the end of my review of the OB Heritage Collection here

+1 on what Blair said- although I wish Brioni would just reissue that Blue Floral Shirt. Additionally the white linen shirt in DAD.
There were only a few things I liked about that movie but PB looked as suave and debonair as ever.
I wholeheartedly agree. There are certainly more options for OB to explore. I do hope that they will do something with their partnership with EON to celebrate the 60th anniversary, but the radio silence from them when NTTD was released in September makes me wonder if their license has been revoked?
