    On Wednesday I will be able to post on here supplied hero shots of each of the items of clothing, and we will be having a live stream from a "secret location" to discuss the line with a few friends...stay tuned for a link to that!

    Yeah, but I want to see your pics on Wed too! There is something about seeing these things in the wild...!

    Just got access to the new stuff on their website. Pretty uninspiring generally. Not sure who would wear the onesie! I ordered the polo shirt though

    Funny thing about the AVTAK jacket. I thought they would be going for the suede jacket of the finale (obviously), but now that I have seen that they recreated the training jacket of the FILA-tracksuit (pants missing btw), I can only laugh at the cost of 295 GBP.
    An original FILA would be far away from that. Here‘s an example:

    Out of boredom, I searched through local online marketplaces and coincidentally made a find:
    Sir Roger‘s BTS jacket, also from FILA. Best thing is, it only cost me 20€ instead of the opposed 295 GBP. :))

    Received access to the OB 007 collection this morning via email.

    I personally think that the collection is great. To me it embodies a very special life cycle of style-- that classic style icons of film inspire the creation of a clothing brand, in turn that clothing brand gets featured in the film series that inspired it only to later collaborate with the film production company to recreate the pieces that inspired the brand in the first place.

    One drawback is the collection is expensive. Otherwise I hope they continue to recreate from film and beyond.

    It did seem like some items were modified. For instance, I thought the Dr. No light blue polo had a banded bottom and wasnt a towelling polo. But I only saw the collection through the Bond experience live stream.

    Yes, they had the Goldfinger swim shorts at the reveal party, but I think a few things are releasing in June....the Dr No polo never had a banded bottom, and is the exact version I saw at the reveal.

    Got it. Thank you. Such a great advantage having a man on the inside to clarify.

    The Dr. No Polo is still one of my favorites with the collar and sleeve detail.

    I knew they were going to add a Bond tax on these items but my God have they tried to milk every cent they could stretch.

    Sadly, don't think I'll be participating in this despite being very hyped about the collection. Really wanted the long-sleeve polo but $500 is crazy.

    Goldfinger shorts are missing and the texture on both the DAF toweling shirt and the Dr No polo seem different, but chalking that up to iphone photos vs pro shots.

    My only hangup is the branding. As David often says, it's the "invisible Bond moments" that you're after, and to see 007 tags on the outsides of the things isn't optimal.

    If it really matters just get some white out! Think I’ll get the DAF Shirt for now.

    I have not yet received the email. I guess they’re granting access in waves? Or is this an “ influencer-only” early access?

    I already got an access and placed an order. I’m not even close to being an influencer.

    If I were you, I’d give them a call

    Ok, thanks. I’m a bit annoyed.

    Thanks. I got it sorted. Picked up the Diamonds shirt. -{

    I really wanted the Thunderball long sleeved polo, but $475 for a merino piece with fake MoP buttons is a bridge too far for me. Some of the other items seem more special for far less.

    Hi
    I have just placed an order with Orlebar Brown and got sent this link that give any new members 15% off.
    For total disclosure I do get store credit for each person that uses it but I will sort something out with Simon (whatdanielswearing) and he can use it to get something to do a give away with.
    Also can’t find a better discount code for OB online.

    I’m a bit gutted as they’ve sold out of the DAF shirt in a medium already! That was the one piece that so really fancied. And it’s not even gone live properly yet!
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,292MI6 Agent
    Any idea on shirt sizing

    Does it still run on the small side?

    Every item I’ve ever purchased from OB runs small, regardless of suggested fit. Can’t see why this collection would be any different.

    Size M is still available in the US site. I doubt these things would sell out in just a few hours. But then I could be wrong :))
