Clothing

Sunspel

Sunspel’s Riviera polo shirt was tailored for Daniel Craig in Casino Royale and instantly became a classic. Bond wears the navy shirt after returning to the Bahamas from Miami.

The shirt is crafted from a breathable cotton mesh fabric and has only the most essential of details for a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

N Peal

On the SPECTRE teaser poster, Daniel Craig is wearing a mock turtleneck sweater from N Peal in dark charcoal. During the film he wears exactly the same sweater in the finale but also wears  the same model in Lapis Blue earlier in the film.

Another sweater provided by N Peal that appears in SPECTRE is the grey cable roll neck sweaters made from 100% Mongolian Cashmere.

With the cold snap we’re currently going through, what better way than to keep warm over the winter?

Orlebar Brown

Daniel Craig wears 1950s inspired Setter swim shorts from Orlebar Brown in a brief scene from Skyfall, when Bond swims lengths of his hotel pool after arriving in China.

Although not available as seen on screen in sky blue, you can get them in “riviera”, which is a slightly darker shade.

Buy from: Orlebar Brown

Anthony Sinclair

Mason & Sons revived the Anthony Sinclair brand and brought back the distinctive “Conduit Cut” seen in Connery’s early films.

You can order the entire Bond look, or choose individual items such as the black knitted silk tie. Not only was a similar tie worn by the Scottish actor, but the literary 007 wore the same style too.

Zippo lighter

Zippo recently launched a range of 007-themed lighters that make a great pocket sized collectable.

Watch straps

While Bond’s Omega watch may be out of your price range, why not upgrade your existing watch with a new strap to give it a little 007-style?

You may have noticed the black and grey striped nylon strap on which James Bond wears his Q-Branch provided Omega watch throughout most of SPECTRE. While the Omega strap is expensive, you can get similar straps at a much more affordable price from Amazon.

Tom Ford has been providing clothes and sunglasses for 007 since Quantum of Solace. Several models are still available from both Skyfall and SPECTRE.
