Here are pics of 2 additional QOS-weave ties I found; one is very close to the Bolivia tie (or is the Bolivia tie) while the other is a cream colour with the same weave. I'm glad the QOS ties have easily identifiable weaves.
I'm going to add pics comparing all 4 ties together.
Interesting to note that TF Milan sent these over to the states without the specific model #s; they had generic ones instead (I guess it makes sense since they're technically old stock).
I think the last time he had it up, it went for close to $600. Either way, I think it's ironic that QOS ties are showing up with more regularity than Skyfall ones.
Someone got more than one. I was going for one when there was 2 left. Had to take my mind off of it for about 2 mins, came back and they were gone. I'm still kicking myself for it, because of all the Skyfall items, that's prob my favorite.
By the looks of it, the blue tie was a stock item from 2011 that was narrowed for the movie.
The Japanese seller was also selling a tie that DC wore to one of the Skyfall premieres (DC's version was 3' - the Japanese seller was selling the regular width version). Makes me think that Tom Ford just supplied modified stock items without the intention of making them part of the movie's marketing push. The suits by contrast were featured heavily at the boutique (i.e. the O'Connor model).
The costume designer even said that she purposely chose boring ties that didn't stand out. Overall, I think she really dropped the ball on the clothing; QOS suiting and ties were much better.
Yeah good find. Also looks like there is another one of the tom ford tie available on fleabay at the moment ..... Think it's the same just the lighting is different.....looks even better the way the photos have been shot.

No its very different, the part numbers are different
Do you guys think it's really the Greene party tie? I'm leaning no because: 1) the 2-tone weave is very common this year (refer to link below); and 2) without better pics it's hard to tell the real shade.

1. Side by side pic - no flash

Solo with no flash
That thing will show up here in a month, wanting a grand for it
I wonder what the skyfall blue tie would go for now on eBay. 160 + shipping seems like an absolute bargain by the looks of it. I should have gotten 2.

Not Tom Ford, but good quality and much more affordable.

There's no style # available either.

What is the actual difference in terms of the look though as description of black/silver houndstooth is the same?
Thanks!
