Orlebar Brown's 007 Allies & Adversaries - An Imaginary Clothing Line
HalfMonk HalfHitman
USAPosts: 2,357MI6 Agent
With N Peal venturing into Bond Women, one could easily imagine Orlebar Brown embarking on a 007-licensed line for The Bond fans who don't quite fit the James Bond mold, yet still feel the connection to his world. A clothing line for different temperaments, ages and body types, with a dash of sartorial fearlessness that allows for bolder, brighter pieces.
The unusual red shirt worn by Kananga/Mr. Big in LIVE AND LET DIE is a bold choice, yet still in line with OB's aesthetics:
Scaramanga's lightweight top is a no-brainer:
Toweling? Goldfinger's poolside robe would have its fans.
Speaking of toweling, Red Grant is easy:
For the modern Bond fan, Felix's Bolivia top is a natural:
Bond's allies have a penchant for bold prints, and any of these would work in an OB line:
Some of the colder-weather Bond villain looks would need to be supplied by an N Peal, but this feels like a start...
What villain/ally looks would you be into seeing OB tackle?

Comments
I had his striped shirt in an earlier draft!
OB could do an entire Felix Leiter Collection at this point.
OB could do an homage piece for the TB Catalina and charge a Bond surcharge and people can buy it for $215. :) (tic)
