Clothing & accessories

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.

Buy from: Sunspel | Amazon UK | Amazon.com

Dents Gloves

At the end of Skyfall Daniel Craig wears black leather Bond gloves provided by Dents.

The same gloves are available from Dents website.

In SPECTRE Daniel Craig wears Dents Fleming unlined hairsheep leather driving gloves at the funeral in Rome.

Later he wears them while driving his Aston Martin DB10 at high speed through the Italian capital.

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.

Buy from: N Peal

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”, a slightly darker shade of blue.

Buy from: Orlebar Brown | Amazon UK

Zippo lighter

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

Currently the entire range only seems to be available in the USA and they don’t ship to Europe. If you’ve got friends in the US though you know what to ask for…

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.
