They seem like fakes (?) since they don't have the right logo and people who call Laperla seem to say that they don't have them anymore...

welshboy78 · January 2011

They seem to be reputable however I dropped La Perla a quick email to verify.

International jock are also sellers on Amazon.com

MFI used to do some nice wardrobes

maxximus · January 2011

Not swimwear related. But almost anything available on Saville Row would be acceptable for 007.

The Savile Row tailors who make more structured suits are acceptable for Bond. Anderson & Sheppard (though no longer on Savile Row) and Stephen Hitchcock would NOT be acceptable for Bond, as he did not like the drape cut. He prefers a more military cut to his suits. And Ozwald Boateng and the like on Savile Row would be too fashionable for Bond and not the traditional suit he prefers.

Dmitri Mishkin · January 2011

ebay and ebay uk are always a great resource of fine tailoring if you don't mind secondhand. i did a search for some of the brands for you guys to use: http://clothing.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=%28%22La+Perla%22%2Cbrioni%2C%22John+Lobb%22%2C%22Church+Shoe%22%2C%22Tom+Ford%22%2C%22turnbull+asser%22%2Csunspel%2C%22john+smedley%22%29&_sacat=11450&_odkw=%28%22La+Perla%22%2Cbrioni%2C%22John+Lobb%22%2C%22Church+Shoe%22%2C%22Tom+Ford%22%2C%22turnbull+asser%22%2Csunspel%2C%22john+smedley%22%29&_osacat=1059&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

MrZareba · January 2011

The LaPerlas on International Jock are not fakes!

These are an updated model called "Maurilio", the one which was in Casino Royale supposed to be "Lodato". As you can see however in the movie, the swimtrunks worn by Bond haven't got any circle on the left side! So in my opinion these are more accurate, because they only have a small metal logo.

welshboy78 · January 2011

Yeah I also thought the same regarding smaller logo etc more accurate looking. I mean apart from that they are identical right?

If I understand you right, IKEA is another nice place to go...:D

(I am sorry, I am not an english native- speaker, I thought wardrobe was the right word;%)

ExpatJB · January 2011

I'm liking some of the following at the moment;

http://www.gievesandhawkes.com/shop/
http://www.ferragamo.com/ for shoes, belts, briefcase.
http://www.crockettandjones.co.uk/ shoes of course.
http://www.barker-shoes.co.uk/ pretty good too.
http://www.dunhill.com/ for anything and everything. Clothes, accessories, bags.
http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/007-shirt-shirts-p-59.html for shirts.
http://www.ralphlauren.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2887664 black label suits.

Like the rest I really rate johnsmedley woollens and Sunspel cotton everything.

Ebay and sales are my friend. Never pay retail.

welshboy78 · January 2011

Great list ExpatJB!

Wilde · January 2011

Ferragamo is too Italian for Bond. Roger Moore had some Ferragamo, but that was the 70s.

Magnoli has no idea what Bond's cuff looks like. Look here: http://bondclothes.blogspot.com/2010/10/2-button-turnback-cuff.html.

As for Ralph Lauren, Purple Label is more Bond-esque. Black Label is okay but too slim-fitting for Bond.

Just noticed ASOS are doing Sunspel polo's for £54-00. 20% discount if you know a student with a valid NUS card!

£43.20!

They are, i have them and i don't see any difference in comparison with the model worn by Bond

Get them till they're available, now it's a steal for 112$, in a few months they will again go for 600...

It's a shame that they didn't do this during my university days:(

Wilde · January 2011

Perhaps we should approach ASOS with a group order.

welshboy78 · January 2011
