Daniel Craig Swimsuit

Page 148 of the new book The Art Of Bond says that Craig's Bond wears a La Perla brief suit. It also says the T-shirts are custom fit Sunspels apart from the custom Brioni suits and Turnbull and Asser shirts.

    Yes, both Halle Berry's swimsuit and Craig;s swimsuit can be ordered from their web site.

    By theyway, that is one of the best books I have ever purchased on the subject of Bond....amazing pics and recollections!

    Please let us know how you get on, Mantis. I'd buy a pair if the price isn't silly.

    Any news on this front? I was going to go into the La Perla store this week, but I figured they wouldn't be selling swimsuits in November.
  • The Bond ExperienceThe Bond Experience Newtown, PAPosts: 5,490Quartermasters
    GO IN! And if you find a large or extra large pick one up for me...I am having no luck.
  • NightshooterNightshooter In bed with SolitairePosts: 2,917MI6 Agent
    I'll try to go sometime this week.

    Mantis, Thanks for the info. What about the black trunks he wears with the white stripes? That scene is reminiscent of Burt Lancaster. He wore a dark square cut trunk on a beach rolling with a girl too.

    Thanks for the warning, Mantis. I could have been tempted to have a go for these - Cheers -{

    The seller emailed an apology to me and removed the picture. I told him to snap off some pics of the suit he has and I am sure it would fetch a fortune now as they are as rare as hen's teeth....

    Very dodgy. Now claiming he has no digi cam?

    Hi, I'm new here but have been reading the forum for a while. I emailed the seller and asked him if he had a pair in XL, he said he didn't and just sold the pair he had to a james Bond collector. eBay shows that no one bid on it though, now he emailed me and said he has a size XL which is posted (with pictures)but it kind of gives me an uneasy feeling even though he has a good eBay rating.

    Steer clear. Coincidence is not a good thing with this.

    You aren't supposed to, but it isn't unheard of to sell a product before closing and then end the auction prematurely. I've bought things this way and saved what seemed to be hundreds of dollars, most recently with a Dior coat. So it doesn't necessarily mean that the guy isn't trustworthy if he ends the auction early.
  • Asp9mmAsp9mm Over the Hills and Far Away.Posts: 7,483MI6 Agent
    Seems a bit odd that one minute he hasn't got an XL and the next he's listed that exact size.

    Trust no-one, kill them all :v
