    Great video David! I’ve got the shoes and water bottle. I’ve got the short sleeve version of the TB shirt and will have to wait until I’m
    In NYC next month for the TF Jeans.

    Fantastic video as always, David. I'm spared the Tom Ford jeans debate because I just can't rationalize spending near $700 for a pair. My gray Levis are close enough. And I'm sure I'll need that money for another piece of kit later.

    The big news was that TB will be rereleasing the Catalina shirt next winter! Thank you for that bit of information.

    Yeah from the guy who in the wardrobe thread kept telling those that were assuring others that the shirt would be back as it’s a seasonal item in their catalog that they better keep hunting and that if it’s reissued it may not be the same etc ;)

    Don't stop yet mate, you've only made 4 petty posts in a row :))



    David's a cool guy, any warnings to hunt and such were likely not out of malice and more out of experience where stuff is often not rereleased or released inaccurately

    Yes it was meant in jest for sure, it wasn’t loading up properly which I guess was do to the winking emoticon. It’s hard to convey emotions in written word on boards, sorry

    A new vlog is up! We bring you another Bond influencer in the Bond Community who is not only funny but is also quite profound! Mark O’Connell is a writer, author and cultural pundit peddler. As a comedy writer he has written for a range of actors, directors and performers, sketch shows, sitcom projects, stand-up acts, promos, and online shorts. We delve into what inspires and drives him, his view of the Bond community and, of course, Bond 25.

    How did James Bond get that now famous pea-coat in SkyFall? Where does Daniel Craig shop for his everyday clothes? Which Bond brand has a partnership with a single malt whiskey company? Billy Reid is the answer to all of these questions. Now hear the REAL stories from the brand that connected us to Bond and beyond....

    Ah....I emailed them very kindly, asking for something I was ready to pay for and never got a single answer...

    Damn! That tan shirt jacket looks great whether it's in the film or not. And of course it's sold out in my size.

    On the plus side: if the shirt jacket does make it into the movie, we can be sure that Billy Reid will do runs of it since they know the value of the Bond connection. Unlike some other designers I won't name.

    I've liked that khaki shirt jacket for months, but it was sold out in large and extra large. Now I know why. :))

    Will wait and see if it's reissued. I wonder how small it runs.

    Donk, make it available again and I'm sure David will cover it. I missed out on the first printing.

    This definitely was not an exhaustive and complete list of community author works...not even close. Just the ones I purchased and read through out of interest.

    I plan on doing a series of these literary reviews, including official entries, and yes would love to do more community written or inspired ones....

    Good timing as was about to pull the trigger finally on the M3 Fred Perry (along with white OB setters) since we are in the middle of the OB beachwear craze!!!!

    Nothing beats the Sunspel fresh out the pack - just wish it kept color better despite cold wash. Any tips?

    The fading is a bit of pain. The actual wear of the Sunspel is fantastic. Mine has kept its shape after years of wear and no nicks or bobbles or anything like that, but the colour is just so washed out now, despite washing at cold temperature. It's now just a house shirt rather than a wear out and about shirt. Guess, I should stop being tight and buy a new one but £95 for something that will be faded within a year or two.. :#
