    Great find & very good price! Hope they're comfy? Are these true to size? What is the width fitting like on them? Interested in a pair, but I'm a fussy sod when it comes to buying shoes without trying them on first! :D
    I have three pairs of these all bought from shuperb, I'm an 11 /45 in everything except trainers and I find their fit spot on, they have the proper Dainite sole so are able to be resoled also. Shuperb also come highly recommended, they have a great service. I would say my feet are relatively wide and I have no complaints with them. As for comfort I'm happy to wear these all day.Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the info Chriscoop - much appreciated. They don't have my size in at present, but I'm going to email them to contact me when they've re-stocked. They do look a great Ryder alternative & the Dainite sole is a huge plus for me too. Best wishes -{

    I used the Vicenzo Boretti cardigan (which also doubles as my Quantum cardigan) as recommended by canoe2, and a Primark tshirt and trousers, with a Sekonda watch. Very happy with how this one came together...and it is super comfortable:-) (Feel free to add to gallery canoe2 btw)

    This is slowly becoming one of my favorite lesser talked about Craig outfits. You rocked it man! I think he wears black leather chukkas in the scene. I'm wondering what shoes you like with the out? Also, love the Instagram account. -{

    Thanks very much! I have a pair of black leather chukkas which are quite versatile and go well with this I think.

    @ChrisCoop It is the perfect hotel breakfast outfit:-)

    One thing I find with the cardigan is that it is quite bulky for packing, so I need to wear it when travelling. I didn't wear it all summer, but with the cooler weather coming in I think I will get a lot of use out of it.

    angelicbond: Looks great! I will get the pic in the Gallery ASAP!

    Chriscoop: I'll check out your recommendations for the cords, sweater and boots!

    Arbogast777: Nice find! Looks like everyone has a Solden jacket this year

    New post, and it's a little different. Discusses something I want to do more of on the site. Looking forward to hearing thoughts, opinions, critics ....

    Fantastic idea canoe2. The ethics are always in the back of my mind when purchasing and recommending. I would love to make it a more conscious decision. I'm in. -{

    This was one of my first complete outfits, it's a good one, and good job angelicbond, I wear a pair of black lucini suede chukkas or my black leather chukkas, this has become a favoured cool weather leisure outfit for me and a hotel breakfast outfit.

    Thanks for the shoe recommendations. And, thanks for adding how you wear this outfit. "Hotel breakfast outfit", sounds like the coolest thing I've ever heard. The outfit does seem very casual, so I wasn't sure if it's completely appropriate to wear around town. If anybody has any thoughts, as I'm not very good at that sort of thing, when it comes to cold weather wear.
    Oh I wear this outfit around town, not for an evening out on the town, but I have worn it having an informal meal at a Chinese restaurant on a Tuesday night with a friend, I've also worn it on Christmas day.
    The hotel breakfast thing comes from my time in venice. Breakfast was served by waiters in full uniform, in a lovely hotel, and an appropriate outfit which was smart, comfortable, casual and quick to put together was needed, I had my black cardigan as it was January and I'd travelled in my qos outfit( what else do wear when approaching your destination in Italy in a speedboat) I had a grey t shirt and the trousers with me and it just clicked. I won't travel without that combo now...Unless I'm going somewhere warm that is.
    My take on the balcony /hotel breakfast outfit.

    Cane across this in a rare visit to H&M today - not a bad match for the Altausee coat for those who missed the Royale version. The fluffy collar is detachable and the pockets are bellows- type, and it's a good colour - the only real discrepancies are that the zip is not off-centre and the sleeves don't have zips either.

    Still, at £49.99.... -{

    I often think what an ajb members Christmas party would look like, dozens of men in knitted ties and Harrington jackets comparing watches and chukka boots! :)

    Chucking up ! Probably if a pair of green trainers are produced. :D

    Although seriously, from casual to formal attire, Bond has it covered.

    I don't think we're going to run out of inspiration from Bond anytime soon. At least I hope not. I worry about the day I'm left with posting an article on alternatives for this ...

    Now imagine THAT with a knit tie and pair of chukkas!

    Seriously, I have a list a mile long of things I want to research. Haven't really even started on suits and more formal outerwear yet

    I love the play suit outfit colors and have contemplated updating it as a nice pool/beach outfit with the Brown toweling polo:


    IMG_8349.jpg

    Interesting color scheme they got going on there huh? Not spot on, but I don't think it's a coincidence as their description of the toweling polo is:

    IMG_8350.jpg

    Of course, I would go with Connery sky blue espadrilles.

    As far as the kilt goes... ya got me there :)) but, if it's a part of your heratige and your in the right country, I could see that working.

    Barbel and tb2 would look wonderful in that outfit, of course with the correct barbs and thunder tartans.

    Whenever a particularly awful outfit appears on our screen, my wife always teases me with "Hope James Bond doesn't wear that in the next film" :)) She knows me too well.

    I always do wonder what my limit is. What would Craig's Bond have to wear for me not to copy him.

    I get nervous posting a pic of my face on the site. You honestly think I'm going share something as personal as what what I wear around the house with you lot?

    I used to be like that too, having been in the military etc this forum was the first social media I've ever been on, I'm now on here and one other Bond site. Other than that and a bit of online shopping my Internet footprint is pretty small. Infact quite recently I was asked by a member what regiment I served in, after posting the answer I got that concerned I went back and deleted the info :# I've also done that with pictures of myself on this thread, but then seeing James Brosnan, MrIceGuy and others doing it happily I've kinda relaxed about it a bit.
    But if you hang out at home in your pants canoe2 please keep it to yourself :)

    Great idea for a thread though, AJBers in all their sexiest outfits ? :))
    Then again given the membership, perhaps not ! :D

    I'm not a collector of clothing but I do buy things in the style or close to
    what Bond has worn. A simple blue blazer and a white turtle neck jumper,
    and I'm Bond from the PTS of Moonraker. :)
