    My DR NO polo is a brighter/bolder blue than I was expecting - here it is next to Orlebar's Riviera Toweling polo.

    I also got the Espadrilles but the size is a little iffy for me, so I can't give proper feedback yet.

    That ribbed collar and sleeve banding looks great. I wouldn't be surprised if that style makes it way to other OB items not Bond related. Same with the Diamonds are forever shirt and thunderball shirts. I see them releasing more colors in those styles.

    I have to agree with some that the price on that Thunderball polo is crazy. I was going to get a few of them but not at that price. I don't know how that polo is the same price as the View to a Kill jacket.

    I think mentioned them before but in the 90s there was a company called Carstarphen that made 100% Sea Island Cotton polo shirts. And they were no where near $400. In fact I think they were barely $100. I think I still have one of them. But I should have purchased more. I found this old article about the company.

    But overall the collection is a good idea. I can't wait to see the next part.

    Hmmm wonder what inspired pieces they could do for next collection. That alone be a interesting topic.

    Judging by the Orlebar items sold out in various sizes this has been quite a hit already and only first “official” day

    When I checked nothing I wanted was sold out.

    I still want a light weight jacket like Dalton wore in Licence to Kill. Probably some more Connery items. I need to look and think about it. They need to get those prices under control though.

    The prices make the TF QOS Polo a bargain given its a custom made item from TF
    Skewered, one sympathises...

    Anyone knows if Ross's promo code works in the US? I tried to enter at checkout but I got a message saying it's invalid.

    MR. Porter seems to have all sizes left.

    Think OB have made it so it can’t be used on the Bond collection

    That assumes one prefers the QoS polo to some of these items. I know I do not.

    It allowed it at first But think they spotted people were using for Bond Collection stuff, I was not even able to use a founding member discount on my order

    I am interested in your opinions...I think the length of the TB swim shorts are too long?!
    The OB Springer Shorts would have been the better choice...maybe tailoring the length?

    It was the same for me. The discount code did apply when I was doing trials figuring out what to buy and what not. Then later on once I did have clear what to go on with the code didn´t work anymore. I did chat with a concierge and she told me no discount code was supposed to work with the JB exclusive collection and that the system just allowed me to think the discount could have been applied when it was not the case... Honestly that explanation didn´t convince me and I believe I should have been able to get the discount if I would have placed the order earlier but I might be wrong. Anyone did manage to get any discount applied to his purchase?

    I could of also snuck in with 15% but had not decided on sizing etc

    All the shorts (and the onesie) are longer in the leg. All the language promoting the line is that the pieces are "inspired" by Bond and "updated" for today, so they're all a bit interpretive. The DAF shirt's collar is a bit different as well.

    Nice suggestions! I’d also add the striped shirt from Thunderball, the trousers and sandals from that same sceneand the floral shirt from DAD.

    Yup - indeed these are not supposed to be direct copies as stated by OB themselves

    Todd Snyder posted on instagram a little while back talking about the Thunderball striped shirt as inspiration. Would be cool to see other brands follow the OB collaboration or homage model.

    Guess if they wanted to also add DC stuff the unidentified Venice Polo would be a nice candidate

    Yup. I got 15% off my DAF shirt.

    Same, bought mine on Monday and the code worked. Maybe that was before the shutdown or else maybe the DAF shirt was missed out by the website coders.

    i'm pleased this is selling out meaning OB will see there's a big market for these and hopefully do more and more releases

    Im trying to decide between the M and L polo. I'm about a 39/40 chest, 31 waist.

    Unfortunately I'm not able to get to a store anytime soon so if there are any members who have tried on both sizes I would really appreciate your thoughts on sizing. Thanks!! -{
  • CheverianCheverian Posts: 1,446MI6 Agent
    I wanted to pull the trigger on...something, but ultimately there wasn't anything in this line that I could see myself wearing (the safari jacket), liked and could justify the price (the merino polo), or didn't already own a version of (the Thunderball shirt).

    The espadrilles come closest. Can anyone advise on sizing? I'm a 10.5 in US shoes.

    I’m 39 chest and 31 waist. Certainly go for a M.

    But if you prefer a relaxed fit go for a L.
