where did you get that shirt, it looks good, not a tropical one but I like it on its own.

Bought it on eBay, is from J Crew. Not really perfect or anything, but close enough. No idea where you could find it, try eBay. I got it for $8 including shipping.
I wast just browsing around the CT website and there is on a pair of brown suede full brogue shoes under the formal shoes section. I am still not sure if Bond is wearing those..
What do you guys think?
I bought the linen suit from the baronboutique and the persols, and want match a nice pair of shoes with them..

I don't believe they've shipped any of them yet- I'm pretty sure mine was the first order, as I requested they make the suit. Anyway, I haven't received mine yet. I'll make a review or something when I get it, though.
Although they don't seem to be carrying them in the suede currently, I have a pair and they are very nice boots and also close to what Craig wears in the PTS.

I was hoping ASP was referring to those, as I bought the brown suede pair earlier in the year.

Indeed. Although I'm always afraid of scratching them up.
Any belt suggestions? I assume he is wearing a dark brown suede belt to match... but... you never know.
I haven't received the suit yet, but now on the baron's boutique website they posted some pictures of the suit. The suit itself looks very accurate, however, it seems that the shirt is not fitted. Therefore, it will require some work to get it movie accurate...

Got mine today- the fit is great, and the entire thing is much better than I expected. The shirt is fitted for me, and looks great. I'll post pics once I get it laundered and ironed at the cleaners, but if you're on the fence, I'd say go for it. I'm really happy with my purchase.

The stripes aren't there, but honestly I didn't notice them on the real thing until really looking, and I am not upset that they don't have the stripes. The weave, otherwise, is great.
I saw the pics on their site...how many buttons did the suit wind up having? Also, the shirt looks too big in the sleeve ara...that, at least should b fitted more...I think if I ordered on I would ask them for a suit with comfortable fit BUT the shirt withe a SNUG/fitteed fit...I am sure they would accomodate...

The CT catalog just arrived and they have the suede boots that look very close to Bond's except they are not chocolate brown. The boots are 25% off right now. I've dealt with CT and they made great shirts - I would imagine the commpany's shoes are of equal high quality.
what do you think of these boots http://www.aldenshoe.com/cat_ane5_1494.htm
Although that in this picture is the tan version,
in the store they have a dark brown/chocolate version. They cost like $300 dlls.. Do you think
that they look close enough or still no cigar...
IMO, $300 dollars for an Alden shoe, which is not worth the price, which also doesn't resemble the John Lobb styling, is not worth it, if you must have a higher end shoe, I'd recommend that you take a gander at the range from Loake, or if you do not find what you are looking for, look at the Dress Boot range from R.M Williams.

In the Bahamas arrival and the Bahamas return,
what shoes is Bond wearing? I have been pausing
the blu ray and still haven't figure that out.
Thanks
I thought I was obsessive....I own an Omega 2531.80 Persol sunglasses, a Walther ppk and p99...but Ihave a long way to go to catch up to you

I will receive mine on the 17th, I will let you know how it fits..
Hmm interesting about the boots.. I will look for them...
How is the white shirt as far as accuracy? Did they put in the shadoweave?
I'm sure you could ask them to tighten the sleeve. I don't mind it slightly loose- gives me an incentive to work out!
