Orlebar Brown recently released their interpretation of the Thunderball navy camp collar shirt, which inspired my article, “Orlebar Brown Thunderball Linen Shirt Alternatives.” The Details The Abercrombie [...]
It’s been a little over a year since we first saw Daniel Craig in the grey Prince of Wales check suit in No Time To Die set photos.

In Spectre, Bond wears Tom Ford Henry Sunglasses with his Brunello Cucinelli ensemble in Morocco. They’re one of several pairs of sunglasses Bond wears throughout the film, but they’re my favorite.

Bond wears the brown blazer with a white point-collar shirt and what Tom Ford calls a “rust” pointed tip knit tie.

No Time To Die is still five months away (hopefully not longer than that) but some of the wardrobe pieces in the film are already sought after by fans. Bond’s wardrobe during the Matera scenes has already received a lot of attention – the Massimo Alba Sloop Suit and the Connelly jacket, in particular – but I think [...]
When you’re looking for some warm-weather wardrobe ideas, you can’t go wrong taking a cue from Bond’s attire in Thunderball. Connery’s Bond has probably the best tropical wardrobe of the franchise and his clothing in Thunderball is the apex. One of the best things about Connery’s tropical wardrobe is that it is very simple–a lot of camp collar [...]

Orlebar Brown’s 007 Heritage Collection was released to a lot of fanfare among the Bond community.

The Bond Linen Jacket is inspired by Bond’s cream linen suit from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. [...]
N. Peal recently released their Bond Woman Collection, which recreates some iconic looks from women across the Bond franchise. It’s a long-overdue move that makes franchise-inspired looks available for women. Hopefully other brands follow suit.
