Skyfall Ties Order

This is going to be a long shot, but I felt it was worth a try!
Many of you are probably aware of the recent order of Skyfall ties which had a very limited run. I unfortunately did not make the final cut, and, needless to say, am quite disappointed on missing out.
I was wondering if any of the people who managed to get multiple ties would be willing to part with one (like I said, this is a bit of a long shot)? I would be happy to pay a bit of a premium (but nothing too ridiculous!).
Also, if anyone has any possible leads or contacts at TF that might be able to get another order going, please let me know as I would be more than happy to try and organize one.
Regards,
Jon

I'm very sorry that most people weren't able to get a tie. Also, none of the people who made the cut are getting multiples - 1 each only.
I asked TF for 24 ties, but they told me that there wasn't enough material for that many. I'll keep you guys posted if I can get more.
Your best bet will prob be to look out for the same pattern and a colour close to the SA versions. I have seen a few.
The recent project should have been announced after the number of ties was finally confirmed by Tom Ford as many people now disappointed.
Maybe somewhere down the line somebody will sell theirs however I imagine these ties will be BIG collectors items and im certain will go for a premium.
The QoS ones go for a premium and these were available in shops and online in fair number of quantities etc. The Skyfall ones were never in shops and only a tiny amount of material leftover from Skyfall production so I would expect to pay big bucks.
Of course there is alway Magnoli if on a budget and not worried about material quality etc.
Wow, so they can only make 3 each of the London and London #2 tie and only 4 of the PTS tie? Limited material indeed!
Hopefully they run across another stash of material. The London tie is exactly what I've been looking for to match my suits and shirts for years with no luck. Looks like there are replica alternatives to the other two but nothing even close to the London tie. Sigh...
He's said on another forum that he's working on a new version. Hope that it comes through. Really like this one.
Ryan bought my Skyfall tri tie a couple of weeks back from me.... He was going to ensure Indy had access to it to close up the material difference
So hopefully, like what happened with the Istanbul tie, we will see a much truer copy soon

Cool. Jut curious but why did you decide to sell yours?
I e-mailed indy regarding the update on the tri-colour tie. I got the following reply.
The newest version is already available. The tweak was so subtle that photographs don't really pick up on it, hence the lack of update on the site. But, in person, the coloring and size of the pattern is now more accurate to the original.
Kind regards,
Indy
I was wondering if anyone had picked one of these up that they could post some close ups of?
Also his first attempt is way way off so it needs more then a subtle tweak, he needs to start from scratch.
The pic of DC wearing it above is an indication of the tie at a certain angle with the light. It does not always look like this and the greener / blue squares appear like that only at specific angles hence to make a complete tie looking like that will be cool but not a true representation of the tie as it can look generally all blue and darker (as seen in the film)
Sorry for the ramble, it prob does not make much sense however this tie is really really strange to look at - very hard to duplicate I think and very deceiving to me when I have it in my hands!!
Indy may need to get hold of this one to take a better look
I value your expect opinion and this is my only chance to get some ties at least. Cheers
again I'm looking for the TF Istanbul tie, anyone help??
Agreed. Also, the size of the pattern seemed far too small as well. I'd love to have this tie more than any other from SF, and would even consider a replica. But without seeing pics of the new Magnoli version I just could believe that it looks accurate based on a "subtle tweak".
You're not going to find one.
The nearest you're likely to get is a Magnoli replica.
Or try this for £8.00. Following text courtesy of Kadd:-

When I received the tie, I was surprised. It's actually not bad and a really nice colour. Up close it doesn't look like the TF one, but from a distance it has a similar electric blue colour and texture. So I'm quite happy especially for the price.
For pictures of tie, refer to page 26 of Skyfall Budget Alternatives thread. I've bought one and I don't think you can go wrong for 8 quid!

Pattern is larger and the colors brighter, more vibrant, than the previous run. This one is self tipped and had a simpler label:

I've just ordered one. I've also got the new Vesper (CR train) tie on the way so will post pics when they arrive.
The new version is a huge improvement on the old one. However, I would like to see your pics as the colours still look off. My understanding is that the Tom Ford tie has checks of black, medium grey, and blue. This one appears to be medium grey, light grey, and blue. However, I know that the angle of a pic can throw the colours off.
Anyway I took pics from different angles with and without flash.

You can see both Skyfall ties come off more as a grey, rather than having the pop of the blue against the black and grey checks. To be honest the £8 tiesplanet tie has a better blue colour in it.
HI, simply never wore it as the tab collar shirts I bought at TF are too tight on the collar to take the wider knot... Also buying a moncler and needed some funds !!!
