Hi folks,
It would seem that Loake has re-released the Trapper boot.
https://www.loake.co.uk/trapper.html
As I am aware, these were the boots identified as worn by Bond in Casino Royale during the pre-title sequence Bathroom fight and later at the Ocean Club with Sunspel polo.
More photos can be seen at this ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Loake-Mens-Suede-Trapper-Chukka-Boots/152985593965?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D51384%26meid%3Df7a3d20a324a4e42812b5ec11830c99e%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D112947335219%26itm%3D152985593965&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A9273d673-435b-11e8-9193-74dbd180f62f%7Cparentrq%3Adaf830a01620aa47a5060af5fffe6559%7Ciid%3A1
Can anybody say if this release has any differences to version available at the time CR was released?
As far as I can tell the only difference is no decorative pattern on the leather interior lining.

Sunspel shoes and boots are still made in the UK;

(Not sure about their casual footwear).
OP in answer to your question they look spot on when compared to shots of DC in the PTS sequence vs the picture in your post that seemed very light!
I don’t own blue linen shirt or suit so here is my in the style of
Good day all

P.S Feel sorry for the poor guy trying to sell a used pair on eBay for £200 these are £165 new!
WOW! Any evidence to back it up? I may have unkowingly owned a pair of Bond shoes for years without knowing?!
"- That is something to be afraid of."
I hope this helps

How does it fit compared to the 026 last of the Kemptons? I find the vamp of the Kemptons fits very well, but the Pimlicos with the Capital last are a little snug across the top of the foot.
Here’s some pictures ( as by chance my Kemptons went in for a refit for the 3rd time, did not survive and so they sent me a new pair for the cost of a repair - how nice of them!)
Hope this helps

Terrific comparison pics. Thanks for the information.
So the question is do I need a seventh pair of suede boots?
My mistake! I went looking for the source, and I couldn't find anything. No idea how that idea got in my head. Old age I guess ... Sorry for the confusion!
