It's actually really shoddy of Omega to not have specific sizes considering the price. The fact that the staff do a half arsed job too can be excused to a certain extent given the strange sizing of the straps. But a gap looks bad and even the dumbest of employees should have had an inkling something was wrong. It's annoying as you rely on these people to know better and point you in the right direction, but we don't and their advice is taken as gospel. Moomins!!!!
Still awaiting confirmation in the sunglasses and I have asked about the Solden gloves As well. Interesting as accessories will be listed separately from the Bond Buy Book.
Haha no, they did not fit the wrong strap. There is no 21mm Natostrap. Do you own the watch? I do. I posted a fact, which I though might be of help. I assume ... You made an assumption ...
See here (21/22mm) sounds like you have the wrong NATO
After speaking to the Omega Boutique they apologised, admitted their mistake and exchanged my straps to the correct size. Great service. Sometimes things go wrong, but how one deals with that makes the difference. I was really impressed.
Also thanks to you for bringing the strap issue to my attention.

Thats good. Glad you are all sorted without any fuss ! Thought they would. As they should too given how much you spent !
Guess there are a few things still left to identify then (sure there are other outfits not yet seen...)
Gloves (London)
Gloves (Solden)
Hat (Solden)
Scarf (London)
TF Sunglasses (new model)
Vuarnet Sunglasses (Vintage or reissue)
London / Poster trousers
"Mr White" Jacket
Dressing Gown
Morocco Jacket (looks 99% Matchless)
Morocco Trousers (poss TF)
Vuarnet Sunglasses are the 027 model or earlier model which was never numbered but exactly the same as the 027 model, most 027 models did not come with the leather on the nose but this was avalible as a separate but also came on some limited editions. Vuarnet appear to have no plans at this stage for a re-release.

XXL Varvatos on Gilt. Be quick prob only one qty wise
Thanks for the heads up! I picked it up. I got an XL from Nordstrom, but wanted to try the XXL if I had a chance. I'm an XXL in Barbour and Billy Reid. Once I get it and try it on, I'll happily sell whatever one I choose not to keep on here if anyone is interested.

I'd be interested in the XL.

Took a few screenshots from the the trailer that might help someone identify the jacket.
Has anyone worked out what this jacket is? I've had a filter through the posts. Couldn't see anything? Assuming it's not the JV jacket, looks thicker. (Very Billy Reid)
There might be a clue in the zip fastening on the mr White jacket: best quality I can manage, it appears to have a leather attachment and be quite a distinctive shape. I have tried to compare to TF, BR, Matchless, JV - but no obvious match to my untrained eye. I believe someone identified JV jacket on basis of the zip, so perhaps someone out there can identify manufacturer from this.
I received the Sanders Chukka Boots and really like the look of them. In watching David's video regarding the boots, he mentioned the issue with the sole wearing at an angle in the back due to driving his commute. I have worn mine once and am noticing the soles at the back are starting to wear and my commute is not nearly as far as David's. Anyone else experiencing this?
Crepe soles are fine but do have limitations. Don't drive in them though until the heel has been worn in and has rounded off slightly, otherwise you'll get that dreaded fold and bump in them and they won't wear down evenly after that. They need walking in a lot outdoors just to get that new sharp heel edge rounded off which is what causes the problems when new. Twisting on your heel to turn around on carpets can cause problems too if they aren't worn in a fair bit.

Hahaha yes, will do. Thanks.
Last I heard they are a new model that has yet to be released. I'm sure David will have more about them soon though!
So it's not the Tom Ford Snowden model then? Look practically identical.
Nope, I'd been trying to find one and asked danner who said no but I have seen some danner military and police boots in the uk
Yeah, I wear Danners as my uniform boots. Try these guys, they might be able to special order their stuff for you:

I'm thinking it is the Snowden model just in a new black shade. I'm only guessing though.
Ok. I'll keep watching for something confirmed. Thanks!

Welshie or DZ- has anyone identified this jacket then? Or did I miss it?
That's the "Mr White jacket"

Cheers! Didn't realise you had asked them!
Hopefully my pair arrive tomorrow!!!

Hopefully its a new jacket for the fall which might surface soon. I found similar old jackets but not SA
maybe this post (#79) by Asp (http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/45525/the-bond-experience/page/4/) is helpful for you.
I can't add anything to all the good things already said about the jacket. I love it and it looks great.
Thanks again Craig!
