    Mantis, do you know if this is a "get the size that Dan Craig wears" thing, or does it come in all standard sizes for actual wear?
    Thanks

    Daniel Craigs is bespoke, so no size as such. The closest you will get to Daniel Craigs size 'off the peg' is a 16 inch. These are really limited and excellent quality, so I'd definately advise getting one quickly as they are nearly all gone. Got mine last week, and it is superb.

    Hmmm, Turnbull rep told me today that they have plenty left and will be an edition of 2500 pieces...not that "limited" if you ask me.

    It's cool, but a bit pricey, and would you want to wear it?

    Wow, that's alot of money for a shirt, even a james bond shirt. But I guess it's pretty cool nonetheless

    What i'd like to find out is what brand is the dark blue polo shirt craig wears in the trailer (and movie).

    *cough* £237 *cough*

    Looks very nice, but too rich for my blood I'm afraid. Now if only I was a millionaire. . .

    It is when you consider all the different sizes they have to cover, so to get the size to fit you, you need to get in now. The Jermyn St. shop is almost sold out of the most common sizes. But then they are not going to be stocking as many, the main drive for these is going to be in the States according to them, and not going to be that popular in Britain.

    Wouldn't Bond have his custom shirts made with monograms?
  • Asp9mmAsp9mm Over the Hills and Far Away.Posts: 7,484MI6 Agent
    Turnbull and Asser shirts are custom, or bespoke. And they are the shirt and tie makers that Fleming used. And for arguments sake, these new Ltd Editions are monogrammed :D . I seriously doubt whether Flemings Bond would have had his shirts monogrammed though, far to ostentatious.

    does anybody know what shirt DC is wearing in the Madagascar chase scene?
  • s96024s96024 Posts: 1,519MI6 Agent
    You have to be a serious fan to invest in a £250 quid shirt. That or very wealthy. Unfortunately i'm poor.

    Yep, we'd all love to know... :(

    Any alternatives for the T&A shirt?
  • gonzalc3gonzalc3 Posts: 77MI6 Agent
    Unfortunately, I really don't see a good and cheap substitute for the T&A shirt.
    I bought the shirt and it is great. Brioni, Zegna, or Kiton are good substitutes, but they are more less in the same price range.
  • DocWeeksDocWeeks Posts: 3MI6 Agent
    How are you guys in the states getting your T&A shirts?
  • crowe007crowe007 Posts: 49MI6 Agent
    I'm from Canada, and I just ordered straight from the Turnbull and Asser store in NYC (my fiancee is letting me wear this for our wedding...though I cant get the Brioni tux, have to settle for something else...lol)

    Crowe..

    That's funny... I am also wearing the T&A for my wedding in October... With respect to the tux, I shopped around and saw that Zegna does a very nice suit which is very close to the Brioni one. I tryed them both, and the main difference in terms of the cut is that the Brioni is more fitted, while the Zegna is more loosely... However a good tailor can fit you the Zegna very well and leave it similar to the Brioni. The Zegna cost like a third of the Brioni's..
  • crowe007crowe007 Posts: 49MI6 Agent
    Hmm...will definately have to look into that one!
    (our wedding date is 07/07/2007-should be easy to remember!)

    Not only would Bond not have monograms, all his clothes were tailor made and had no identifying tags in them of any kind so no one searching through them could get any information on him.

    Except if they went into the bathroom and found the huge amount of branded toiletry and accessories, or looked in his ashtray for all the custom made ciggy but-ends :D

    For a secret agent he sure has some pretty damning routines doesn't he? How easy would he be to nail down on surveillance?

    Wasn't Roger wearing something monogrammed in LALD, when M comes to call at his flat?
  • IanT007IanT007 Posts: 117MI6 Agent
    Yes, a dressing gown.

    Very uncool.:007)
  • mrbigmrbig Cotswolds, EnglandPosts: 68MI6 Agent
    If you want to have a shirt of similar quality to T&A , MTM (made to measure) and a lot cheaper than T&A, and are willing to wait a little, contact CYC Custom Shop at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, my father did his shirtmaking (and still does) there, and they are very Bondworthy. They also cater to the Singaporean PM, so don't expect it to be as cheap as is portrayed through the hype of all Singapore tailors. They stock all major fabrics, incl. Sea Island Cotton, and Egyptian Cotton. If you provide adequate details, I'm sure they can replicate the shirt very well. I would try them out, but as I'm only a student, I can't afford CYC.:'(
