TND Copper Tie - who's in?

urhashurhash USPosts: 986MI6 Agent
Hey folks,
I just wanted to gauge interest in a tie project with Magnoli, looking to recreate the copper tie as worn by Brosnan in TND (during the Hamburg airport scenes).

I recently got some high resolution shots of the tie (and the bluray discs should be out reasonably soon), so I'd like to know whether this project would have enough people behind it to turn it into reality.

Also, please note if you committed to buying the GE 'tank' tie and have not done so, please do - continued projects can't occur unless we meet prior commitments and expectations.

My plan is to have the copper tie made in 100% silk (the tank tie was part wool, but it was appropriate for the weave), and I plan to request for Magnoli to make it thick and dense like the original T&A tie.

    Dan,

    As always, you can count me in. Surprised you even had to ask. :-)

    That's 7. Need about 5 more people?

    Price should be $60, or perhaps slightly more due to the increased thickness this tie will require.

    Yep, pretty much. Since Magnoli's never made the specific weave in question, there's costs in developing it, as well as in making a prototype (not to mention the fact that he's not charging $150 a tie like T&A or other companies).

    I updated the original post with a picture of the tie. It's copper with blue diamonds. I have more detailed pics but they are currently on another computer (don't worry, Magnoli will have more to work with than that! ;))

    Current count is 9.

    I'm in too.
  • urhashurhash USPosts: 986MI6 Agent
    Almost there. What happened to all the people who expressed interest in the copper tie before? I know you guys are out there, but I don't want to speak for anyone's order. But chime in here if you're in. {[]

    I am in, but the colour and weave is so unique that you will need an original to pull this one off. Unfortunately I havn't got the time to look for mine at the minute as I'm working every waking hour.

    The screen cap you have shows the colour well.

    Thanks Asp. {[] I'm eager to get a headcount, but not in any rush to get the ball rolling till we can pull this off with great precision. Whenever you get around to finding the tie, let me know. :)

    **** guys, looks like TND will not be in the 2nd wave of BluRay releases. :(

    Count me in as well -happy to commit to a copy of every Brosnan era tie.

    We're in business! :)

    I'm gonna update with some information tonight...
  • urhashurhash USPosts: 986MI6 Agent
    I was going to post some pics but didn't get a chance to tonight.

    Is anyone here good with photoshop? I'd like to generate a few versions of the images we have in different color tonalities to see which one comes closest to the original tie. I'm hoping Asp can at some point find his tie but until then lets not just sit on our hands. :)

    I am in for this tie project.
    I must get my GE Tank tie ordered after Christmas too. Still loving the TWINE boat chase and TND hamburg ties!

    I would love to buy this tie (the copper one). Is this the same tie that was used in Quantum of Solace as well? My step-son wants to wear it to his Senior Prom.. How do I get one?

    No, this tie was made by Turnbull & Asser. The QoS one is made by Tom Ford.
    Away at Boot Camp, won't be back until April the earliest.

    Indy sent me his digital version. The colours and pattern look spot on to me {[]

    Hi guys, sorry I haven't been keeping everyone updated. There's been dialogue behind the scenes and now we're in prototype-production phase, so we should be able to see something in a few weeks. :)
  • urhashurhash USPosts: 986MI6 Agent
    Here's the mockup Indy made... the pattern looks correct... the color is harder for me to judge since you can't really capture the reflective tonalities. But Asp says it looks right.

    Hi,

    that looks really great. I´m ready to place my order. :)

    Greetings,

    Looking at the photos I sent you (specially the darkish one) I'd say that the copper color should be a bit lighter maybe and the blue has some shine to it, what do you think? I think the whole tie should look a bit shinny you know, and the colors on the prototype look dull to me, and that tie isn't dull at all.

    The colour is correct, it just lacks a metallic finish.

    Indy just sent me a prototype pic last night... its getting there. There's still some issues to iron out with the pattern (notably color tonality).

    Hey guys, here's some swatch samples Magnoli has produced for us.

    http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/7614/copperswatchkr6.jpg

    1 2 and 3 show the fabric under different color shades. #4 was an earlier prototype which was too light and also had errors in the pattern.

    Need your input guys:

    1) Between 1 2 and 3, which comes closest to the original?

    2) Any problems/issues with the pattern?

    FYI, Magnoli is leaning towards #1.
