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.

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.

Agree. I just find Church shoes great, but a little dull, and I'm slim so BL works for me.

I think Magnolis pic of the shirt doesnt do justice to the cuff, or perhaps they were a prototype. Anyway, mine look a little more accurate I think.

Great blogspot!

Yeeeaaaaahhhh, i bought them for 112$ :D:D

EDIT: What are you talking about, they're on International Jock :P http://www.internationaljock.com/grigioperla-maurilio-swimsuit-cielo,8931.html

Hi MrZareba and thinks for posting the link. Are you able to give any information regarding sizing please? I have a 36" waist based on European sizes and a 34" waist based on US sizes. As Perla are Italian I would assume sizes shown are European, therefore I would probably be looking at XL.

Many thanks

I have also 34 and i bought the XL size, they fit perfectly

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

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.

I meant to say thanks, as I bought a pair too. Genuine and high quality. I have the ebay copies to compare them too and they are very different quality for sure.

Thanks again. -{
