Orlebar Brown's 007 Allies & Adversaries - An Imaginary Clothing Line

HalfMonk HalfHitman

With N Peal venturing into Bond Women, one could easily imagine Orlebar Brown embarking on a 007-licensed line for The Bond fans who don't quite fit the James Bond mold, yet still feel the connection to his world. A clothing line for different temperaments, ages and body types, with a dash of sartorial fearlessness that allows for bolder, brighter pieces.

The unusual red shirt worn by Kananga/Mr. Big in LIVE AND LET DIE is a bold choice, yet still in line with OB's aesthetics:



Scaramanga's lightweight top is a no-brainer:




Toweling? Goldfinger's poolside robe would have its fans.



Speaking of toweling, Red Grant is easy:



For the modern Bond fan, Felix's Bolivia top is a natural:



Bond's allies have a penchant for bold prints, and any of these would work in an OB line:









Some of the colder-weather Bond villain looks would need to be supplied by an N Peal, but this feels like a start...

What villain/ally looks would you be into seeing OB tackle?

I had his striped shirt in an earlier draft!

Surely there's room in the line for Greene and Elvis' bold choices:

OB could do an entire Felix Leiter Collection at this point.

OB could do an homage piece for the TB Catalina and charge a Bond surcharge and people can buy it for $215. :) (tic)

I made a few suggestions at the end of my review of the OB 007 Heritage Collection last year
