Re: Brown, Orlebar Brown

I am interested in your opinions...I think the length of the TB swim shorts are too long?!
The OB Springer Shorts would have been the better choice...maybe tailoring the length?

Re: Brown, Orlebar Brown

It was the same for me. The discount code did apply when I was doing trials figuring out what to buy and what not. Then later on once I did have clear what to go on with the code didn´t work anymore. I did chat with a concierge and she told me no discount code was supposed to work with the JB exclusive collection and that the system just allowed me to think the discount could have been applied when it was not the case... Honestly that explanation didn´t convince me and I believe I should have been able to get the discount if I would have placed the order earlier but I might be wrong. Anyone did manage to get any discount applied to his purchase?

All the shorts (and the onesie) are longer in the leg. All the language promoting the line is that the pieces are "inspired" by Bond and "updated" for today, so they're all a bit interpretive. The DAF shirt's collar is a bit different as well.

Nice suggestions! I’d also add the striped shirt from Thunderball, the trousers and sandals from that same sceneand the floral shirt from DAD.

Todd Snyder posted on instagram a little while back talking about the Thunderball striped shirt as inspiration. Would be cool to see other brands follow the OB collaboration or homage model.

Guess if they wanted to also add DC stuff the unidentified Venice Polo would be a nice candidate

Same, bought mine on Monday and the code worked. Maybe that was before the shutdown or else maybe the DAF shirt was missed out by the website coders.

Re: Brown, Orlebar Brown

Im trying to decide between the M and L polo. I'm about a 39/40 chest, 31 waist.

Unfortunately I'm not able to get to a store anytime soon so if there are any members who have tried on both sizes I would really appreciate your thoughts on sizing. Thanks!!  ajb007/martini

Re: Brown, Orlebar Brown

I wanted to pull the trigger on...something, but ultimately there wasn't anything in this line that I could see myself wearing (the safari jacket), liked and could justify the price (the merino polo), or didn't already own a version of (the Thunderball shirt).

The espadrilles come closest. Can anyone advise on sizing? I'm a 10.5 in US shoes.

I'm a 41 chest, size 32 waist.  Medium was skin tight for me, whereas Large had that perfect fit (it wears on me like it wears on Connery in the film).  Medium would probably be a little better fitting for you than it was for me.

I’m 39 chest and 31 waist. Certainly go for a M.

But if you prefer a relaxed fit go for a L.

Re: Brown, Orlebar Brown

I was at the Live stream event yesterday and tried on many of the pieces. The quality is unmatched. I was planning on getting the DR No toweling polo, but after I tried on the TB polo it fit like it was made for me and went with that. looking forward to phase three!
