Tropical Shirt

DeltaElite · November 2006

Does anyone know where I can find the shirt that bond was wearing during the whole Madagascar chase. It was a tropical shirt, just wondering if anyone knew what kind it was. Thanks!

I have been wondering the samething.

Anyone?

I bet it's about $145 or so.

mike77 · November 2006

or maybe something that looks like it

That's kinda funny, as I remember some people complaining about how they hated that shirt and the idea of Bond in it when the photos first appeared on the Web.

At any rate, it seems rather a common design, doesn't it? I'd expect an outfitter of tropical or surf gear or maybe even some general department stores might carry that.

Anyone have a close-up picture of the pattern?

walther p99 · November 2006

its a good choice of cloths from both perspectives as he can conceal his P99 but not die of heat exhasuation from a heavier tropical suit or something and its light enough that he can move around well enough, and he blends in more, but yea id like to get me hands on one similar to

I read the following Lindy Hemming interview:

She said she designed it and had it made so unless anyone can call her up and ask her where I dont htink we can find it:

Does anyone know of the pants that he used in the sequence with the tropical shirt? I have the book Bond on the set with Gregg williams and you get to see some interesting pictures of him with these nice pants. They look like linen pants.

Lindy references teh pants in the article to they were probably designed and made for teh film. I have that book its fantastic!

What book?

"And for something like the cricket scene, where he goes to the cricket pavilion and he kills a guy in the shower, even though it’s only a few seconds in the film, there were about 30 versions of that suit."

and what part in th film was that?? Obviously cut.

Nightshooter · December 2006

I think that was the original idea for the first kill, but they ended up only keeping the bathroom and cut the encounter in the cricket pavilion. Possibly because Bond watching a guy in the cricket stands and Bond watching Mollaka would seem ridiculously similar.

Bond on teh Set Book!

Nightshooter · December 2006

If you had pictures of the shirt, couldn't someone go to a tailor and have it custom made?

walther p99 · December 2006

You might match the style, but this wouldn't replicate the pattern unless you had some of the original material. And if you only wanted to approximate the material it wouldn't be worth having the shirt specially made - you could find an approximate match with any number of similar shirts from a surf shop, department store, whatever.

I'd imagine the shirt was made by Sunspel (most of Lindy's custom designs for shirts etc seem to have come from there). It might be worth approaching them to see if they were willing to produce a limited run of replica shirts.

This shirt?...

Nightshooter · February 2007

Yes, that shirt. Do you know who makes it?

The Bond Experience · February 2007

I realize that Hemming said in an interview that Sunspel worked outside their normal "box" and made sporty shirts but I would be surprised if they made this one. Grey T-shirts and a navy polo, yes, but even the owners of Sunspel are not aware that they did this shirt. Believe me I asked. A custom shirt shop remarked that they could replicate the shirt but as Bill Tanner says above it will always be a few degrees diffferent unless you had the same bolster of fabric.

Nightshooter · February 2007

I'd be willing to buy a replicated not 100% perfect one if the price wasn't ridiculous. Did they give you a quote, Mantis?

Solaris · February 2007

I'd also want to buy one

Eagle · February 2007

I'm in - but the real McCoy must be around somewhere...

sruzgar · February 2007

Mantis, who did you get your info from at sunspel?

I had emailed them a photo of this shirt asking if they made it and someone fairly high up in the company told me that they did!

walther p99 · February 2007

yea id love to buy a replica or something that looks close enough to the tropical shirt.

Any more information on this lead?

sruzgar · March 2007

It turns out they thought I was talking about the t-shirt undeneath the tropical shirt.

I still dont even think they made that t-shirt so the trail is cold...

Kittlemeier · March 2007

Ah, thanks anyway.

DonHombre · October 2007

Hello,

I'd just wanted to ask if there is any progress regarding the shirt? I'm also very interested in that shirt.

regards

I never miss · October 2007

I bought a very similar shirt on ebay last summer (2006) as I'd seen the on-set photos of CR and wanted to be ahead of the game. I will try and put a photo up so that you can all see it - it is a quicksilva shirt from about 4 years ago. Pattern is slightly different, but shirt is the right colour. Looks good with a grey t-shirt underneath.

The photo was taken in Nice. Wonderful city BTW.

Hey,

I can't see the picture. Can you send it via email? I would send you my address via PM.
