Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how well Magnoli's replica of the La Paz "champagne" tie matches the real Tom Ford one, & which "version" of the tie Magnoli's is closer to in terms of colour?

Magnoli's bolivia tie does not match the two tom ford ties I own. Pattern is wrong. Purchased it to compare.

I think in the future it would be good if Magnoli could list (or the information were somehow available) who commissioned the tie and where he replicated the pattern from (original tie, swatch, high res scan, blurry pic, etc).  Details are everything.

That's a shame. Would you be able to post a comparison pic of the ties?

As an owner of both the TF & Magnoli ties, do you think Magnoli's inaccuracies are minor enough to still warrant a purchase? I've loved that tie ever since I first saw the movie, but there is absolutely no way I can afford the genuine Tom Ford one. Magnoli is my best connection to Bond style. As an owner of both the original & replica ties, I'd love to hear your opinion.

I no longer have magnoli's tie, I sold it on eBay awhile back. The squares are too large and the color did not seem to go well w my brown nailshead suit. Unlike both of the tom ford ties I own which go perfect with it.  I'm not saying not to purchase his version...just letting you know.

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

so the only one I'm still not set on is the PTS tie, anyone have a confirmation of whether it is all blue or blue and black?

I've been saying this like a million times. This particular tie looks nothing like the TF one. The pattern is wrong, the colors are wrong and the silk looking texture is SO wrong.

It's obvious that is wasn't made from a swatch.

RSD,

The tie I received from Luxties is the version with the dark squares.  From the stock photo on their site, it looked to be the non-dark square version, but alas, the tie that arrived does match the Version 2 tie that Sruzgar and Holden have in the photo above.  The TF number on the barcode sticker that's on the bag is TFB60 1TK D ITA 082.  Hope this info helps in clarifying which tie is which.

Kind regards,
Craig

Nope, I will make sure everyone knows when payment is due

I hope it doesn't take that long! They will be checking material availability this week.  I would hope to have ties start to arrive in about 2 months.

Great thanks, this actually helps immensely.  I believe Holden's swatch is the correct tie (TFB65).  This is version 3!  I haven't seen any ties that I am absolutely convinced it the correct one although Richi and Sruzgar may have the correct ones.  Version 2 and 3 are very similar, both having dark brown squares.

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

The more I look at the shot of DC drinking the Vespers, the more I now believe the dark squares version may be correct.  There is a consistency to the pattern of the dark squares in the picture that I don't believe would be the case if it was merely a matter of the lighting.  It is the pattern and fabric Magnoli used, and it would be interesting to know where he got his intel from.

Dark squares is correct.  Confirmed.  However, I believe the PTS darker squares ARE produced by shadows.

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

Sorry for the lack of updates.  Sent in a request for the ties last week, these runs are definitely a go if there is enough material.  Hope to hear back tomorrow!  The only problem of course is still the PTS tie, I'm not 100% on this one.  May have to just run a poll so we can collectively decide on one (all blue or blue/black) and just agree that if its wrong, at least we are all wrong together.

On that note however, I will post all of my available screen captures and info on the PTS tie and ask for you all to do the same.  There is a shot of it in the Bond on Set book if anyone wants to pull out their magnifying glasses and let me know what they see.

**** You Tom Ford.

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

Since the PTS tie seems to be the final hurdle here, I've gone out on a limb and e-mailed Ms. Frogley with a photo of the swatch that JB1962 posted above to see if she can confirm which tie was used.  We both worked on a film recently, and I'm hoping the connection will break the ice.  ajb007/smile  I can't promise she'll get back to me, but it's worth a shot.  I'll let you know if she responds.

Kind regards,
Craig

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

Looking closely at Page 024 of Bond On Set with DC in the Aston, the lighting looks pretty natural, and I would say the overall color of the PTS tie is more like Holden's TFB61 swatch.  It doesn't seem to have as much of a sheen especially compared to the Greene Party tie or even the Champagne tie.  A tough call and it would be great to get some type of confirmation from a credible source.

Reds, just occured to me, no pictures or discussion of the Russia tie.  Assume this one is locked down?

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

Do we have the swatch for another version of the PTS?

EDIT: Kazan tie is good an easy but we don't have the swatch. I've been looking everywhere for it, no one has it. Nor the number (?).

Re: [TF Qos Tie(s) Order] DONE

OK, making myself crazy ajb007/insane.  While the PTS pattern is pretty defined in the Bond On Set picture, the tie is of an overall  blue hue, and I don't see any black.  I think it would probably be darker if there was black.  I'm bailing for the sake of my mental well-being and will leave the final decision to greater minds than mine! ajb007/crap

Apologies if this has been covered somewhere before, but can anyone tell me how wide the Tom Ford ties are at their widest?

So sorry, I always wrote Kazan with a (Z) and when I did my research I did not think to write it with an (S). Thanks!

But we still don't have a TF swatch

Great! Let me know if you hear a reply.

As you all can see, it is quite unclear still.  Even judging by the BoS book.

As for the Russia tie, no problems here.  Exact pattern and style number have already be IDed and requested.

**** You Tom Ford.
