(I personally buy and use all the products I review. I do not receive any compensation for my reviews, but I may receive a commission if you buy something after clicking a link.) The commando outfit is arguably the most recognizable costume from No Time To Die, and with good reason. Bond wears it during the [...]
When Dr. No introduces the world to 007, he is enjoying an evening in a casino while wearing a midnight blue shawl-collar dinner suit (or tuxedo). That outfit immediately set the tone for Bond style, establishing the well-dressed spy and his iconic wardrobe in a single scene. It’s my favorite look in the entire movie and this [...]
I launched Bond on a Budget this past July. Since then, I’ve shared more than 100 budget-friendly alternatives for Bond-related clothing items! As we say goodbye to 2020, I’m revisiting some of my favorite budget-friendly alternatives from this past year. All of the items on this list are here for two reasons: 1) they’re great budget-friendly alternatives, [...]
Since Skyfall, Crockett & Jones shoes have become a favorite brand with the filmmakers and Bond fans alike. The prestigious English shoe manufacturer provided several styles for costumes in Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time To Die, including the fan-favorite Islay boots. (Check out my post about “Crockett & Jones Islay Boots Alternatives” here.) In Spectre, Bond wears black Crockett & Jones Norwich shoes [...]
In Moonraker, Bond wears a black half-zip shirt during his stealthy nighttime escapades (you can read a detailed description of the original shirt over at Bond Suits.) Orlebar Brown released their interpretation of the shirt—the Moonraker Knitted Half Zip—with the 007 Heritage Collection they released in the summer of 2020. The Moonraker Knitted Half Zip is made from Italian-made Merino wool. [...]
The climactic battle at Bond’s ancestral home gave us some of the best wardrobe pieces in Skyfall, including the Barbour Beacon Heritage X To Ki To Sports Jacket and the Crockett & Jones Islay Boots. I’ve already provided some budget-friendly alternatives for both the Barbour jacket and the Crockett & Jones boots — the final piece you need to complete the [...]
(Updated on Monday, Nov. 30) Black Friday/Cyber Monday has some of the best sales you’ll find all year, including sales from brands that only have sales a couple of times a year. It’s a great time to get your holiday shopping done or just pick up something special for yourself. But the sheer number of [...]
If there is one look that people associate with Skyfall, there’s a pretty good chance it’s the outfit Bond wears during the film’s climax in Scotland. The outfit became an overnight icon, immediately recognizable as Bond even though it’s a far cry from his usual formal attire. Without a doubt, the look’s showstopping piece is the [...]
As we transition from summer into autumn, brands are clearancing out their summer clothes to make room for new fall arrivals. As a result, now is an excellent time to get some great deals on great clothes—as long as you’re willing to do some digging. To help you take advantage of some of this week’s [...]
Camp collar shirts in lightweight fabrics are a menswear summer staple. They are particular favorites among Bond fans because of Connery’s penchant for wearing them during his tropical adventures, most notably Thunderball (1965). 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 [...]
