I was playing around with a new flash I scored on Prime Day. Decided I'd try and recreate one of my favorite Bond photos. I missed on a photography level because, without a proper backdrop, I wasn't getting the right levels. This on top of self-portraiture being a difficult pain in the ass regardless. But I made due. Added a kicker flash.
What I was aiming for:
What I got:
Wearing my midnight TF dinner jacket, S.T. Dupont 5172 links, QoS Omega PO, Turnbull & Asser shirt, and C&J Highburys (out of frame). Forgive the terrible bowtie tie.
Oi oi! This guy shines up like a new penny! Give this man double-o status!

Excellent!
I like the slightly tilted "I don't have to look perfect for anyone" bow tie, as well as the fact you wore the shoes too even if out of shot! Bravo -{
First chilly day here so a good day to break out some purchases that have just been waiting for the right weather, Moonraker 1/2 zip long sleeve polo (budget alternative), Casino Royale XL watch, Skyfall lodge boots (budget alternative), Spectre matchless/suede jacket (budget alternative). It is going to be a very good day!
A Rag & Bone day today. Wearing the standard issue henley in black from the recent crazy R&B sale. Really wish I bought more of the black, it looks really good! Also a pair of R&B darker grey jeans that I’ve had for a while, but also sort of a “budget” alternative for the NTTD TF pair (still trying to hunt down a pair of these). As for footwear, not Bond related but wearing a pair of German Army trainers from Reproduction of Found—a great casual shoe that will go with anything, and also one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn!
...also the beautiful NTTD Seamaster on my wrist—never get tired of seeing it on there!
Did we get a confirmation on the Palladium boots? Or is it just like the Barbour baseball hat where it might be something Bond is wearing. Because both items I've seen all over Instagram with captions implying they're confirmed pieces in the movie.

As far as I am aware no confirmation of either the boots or cap.
Coincidental mashup of actual Grey V neck T shirt worn by DC in Dream House and Levi jeans, Belstaff jacket and boots as worn by Paul Sparks (Boardwalk Empire, House of Cards) as the baddie in The Lovebirds.
Another entry in my hobbyist attempts at recreating the light and lensing of posters I like. Wearing the Spectre N.Peal and not-screen accurate Neil B pants.
Also, I can't believe how skinny DC's waist is. I'm 5'10" and have a 32 waist and I look huge by comparison!

Looking very good there :007)
P.S. I'm sure DC's waistline amongst other things are touched-up in the posters.

I wouldn’t worry about it, you look great, actually you look like you could be the next James Bond. Great job, keep up the good work.

Yeeeaaahh...particularly as, given his own meticulous descriptions, he doesn’t appear to be wearing any pants...!
Quite!
So gave them a test fire today
Cheers :007)

Yesterday I wore my 5.11 Insulator Vest from Mission Impossible: Fallout.

What brand of chelsea boots are you wearing?
Those are the Alfani "Dennis" boots. Currently on sale at Macy's for $55! A great budget option for the R.M. Williams.

That Royal QoS Harrington became one of my favorite wardrobe items.
