Budget Bond Collectors Resource (Page 3 of 143)

Neil Barrett Poster/London Trousers budget alternatives:

Tried to mix in more options for those of you in UK/Europe.

Had a hard time finding a good image of these. If anyone has the originals and feels like sharing a picture of them, I will be more than happy to give credit in the post.

Thanks!

I want to give credit where it's due! 

By the way, if anyone is still looking for a Dior/Mr. White alternative, that Club Monaco I mentioned in an earlier post is now down to $167.30 if you are buying from within the U.S. Sizes XS, S, and XL. Post is here: https://iconicalternatives.wordpress.co … te-jacket/

I don't know if you're planning on doing the TF Morocco tie soon, but I found this affordable brown knit tie from Z Zegna.

How about this one? http://www.vd.nl/herenaccessoires/strop … oest-Bruin It might not be knitted but the color is pretty close.

Skyfell: I'm planning on easing my way into suiting soon; I will add your suggestion when I do and make sure you are given the credit.

I also wanted to get started with some of the more popular ties. Chevarian and Peppermill: Again, I will add your suggestions to the list and l make sure credit is given.

Always shaken: I didnt even think about those but it could be a fun search!

I feel another shoe/boot search coming on, so I would like to ask what would be most interesting to everyone:
Dress shoes from C&J (any from QoS, Skyfall, Spectre; these would probably be easiest for me to do)
The RJ Williams Chelseas from Layer Cake (want a pair of these myself)
The Converse OTR boots Always Shaken is looking for

I also have a special announcement for the watch experts on the forum: I would really love it if someone could put together a list of affordable options to Omega/Rolex.

What I can offer said experts: The opportunity to share your incredible and hard earned expertise on the website of a celebrated* writer with a loyal and devoted** following of dozens for absolutely zero financial renumeration!

Come on! Who wants to live the dream!***

PM me if you're interested! If anyone else would like to see a list like this, you could also apply some friendly pressure!

*I won a prize for a short story I wrote when I was 12
**loyal and devoted to James Bond, not me or the site
***my attempt to compile a list of options would probably be a nightmare of inaccuracies.

XL only left, decent N Peal Skyfall alt. https://www.johnsmedleyoutlet.com/mens- … itime-blue

xxfastfuxx, I added your suggestion to the Neil Barrett pants. Thanks!

New post with options for XXXX's Layer Cake Chelseas:

I just came across another Macy's budget alternative, this time for the Spectre Rome double monk boots. http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/bar- … otId%3D121

So glad you're keeping this up and so attentive to all the content! This could very easily become one of the best resources for Bond apparel at this rate!

Thanks, I'll update the page. Wonder if the crowd here helped with that?

Don't think I saw this JCrew option for the Skyfall cords:

They have them in bittersweet chocolate, just select through the colors. I posted a link to the skinny fit, but they have these in slim fit too. I grabbed a pair on Black Friday sales in slim and they are very good quality, and now The brand has the bond connection due to the Kenton's. The skinny is probably a more SA fit though.
