So it arrived today, I thought I‘d show some close-ups because there aren‘t any out there.
Note: The material is quite thick, thicker than you would expect judging by the movie stills. It almost comes accriss as a very soft denim. Besides the known „Brioni“-label there is one more that says „made in Italy“ with 3 white stripes.

Thank you!
I'm happy someone on the board managed to get it.
Thanks for the extra pics of the interior of the shirt. I didn't expect it to look like that.
I hope one day replicas can be made.
It's a bit different, and the bars are the wrong direction.
Already suggested
It's also nice that it was made by Brioni. I just checked, in the scene in the Hong Kong hotel you can even see this shirt next to the other Brioni shirts on the bed I think, it's best visible just after Bond starts talking to Chang.
Thanks!
I‘ve just rewatched the scene, but I honestly think it‘s just a plain french-blue shirt.

I'd also be curious about such a project...we can't just live on polos, after all...
I usually try and keep links to my site in the dedicated thread here, but I thought this might help. I did a post back at the start of May on alternatives for the DAD Brioni shirt. You can see it here:

The best one I could find was from Paradise Found
But there are others in the post that are similar and have a more modern fit.
Hope that helps!

Incredibly helpful. Thank you, sincerely.
Well you just helped sell a shirt, so yes!

Colours of the shirt still look like new after 3 years.
I really like this shirt and would recommend it as an alternative.

A bit of a bump for an old thread. I've managed to pick up the retail, long sleeved version of the shirt.
Looks like Brioni did well matching the body pattern on the various shirts, although there is variation in the collar pattern. As I recall the screen used shirt collar was almost a solid blue with a bit of the floral pattern on the rear of the neck.
That's the size label, I believe. My shirt is a size II, or "2". It has a pit to pit of 22 inches. A slim fit on me. I recall a shirt marked IV for sale a few years ago with a pit to pit of almost 25 inches.
@AugustWalker What's the length of the sleeves and the size of the hem on the sleeves? I need to get my sleeves shortened.
Wonder if either @Indy Magnoli or royale filmwear would want to take a crack at this?
Fantastic find! Congrats.
Thanks, HH.
I've offered to loan my shirt for replication.
