I’m excited to announce a new podcast about James Bond clothing called From Tailors with Love! Peter Brooker of Human Research and I are hosting it, and we will be talking about the Bond clothing film-by-film. Our first episode starts out with the clothes of Ian Fleming’s James Bond and how Fleming’s own tastes in clothes determined much of what James Bond wears.

Just listened and it was a lot of fun!
Just great
It’s a great listen, especially for followers of The Suits of James Bond.
Nice! A great idea. I’ll look forward to this. Best of luck with it, Matt.
Great idea, I certainly hope you will have many listeners !
Very interesting comment, it’s a pleasure to listen to it. Maybe I’ve already asked you: which program do you use to create a visual effect of suit fabrics (e.g. the glen check one in Goldfinger’s famous suit)?
I use Adobe Illustrator to create the patterns.
Matt , were Ian Flemming’s sea island cotton shirts Poplin , End on end , Oxford or royal Oxford ?
Also , are there any pictures of Flemming in a silk shirt ?
Old School,
To help out Matt a little bit, It’s not really described by Fleming, but based on pictures, It looks to be Poplin shirts. For further reading, try this article:
