007's Shirt

[Indy Magnoli]

I just added this dress shirt based on Connery's turned-back cuffed shirt:

Although it's a fairly simple shirt, the unique cuffs were difficult to get just right. The shirt shown is the same twill cotton I use for my Indy shirts, but I'm also offering it in Sea Island Cotton, the material Ian Fleming's Bond wears. Let me know what you think.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

Wow, now THAT is cool. :eusa_clap

So, they fold back and are able to stay in place? No fastening whatsoever?

Is the Sea Island Cotton really as luxurious as it is made out to be?

I thought his cuffs didn't meet at the bottom they were more of a cutaway

The Sea Island Cotton feels like a cotton/silk blend to me. It has a little sheen to it which reminds me of silk.

The cuffs were the hardest part to get right. They fasten by two buttons along the wrist beneath the folded part of the cuff. I believe the spread of the cuff is emphasized when you move around. The prototypes were made a bit stiffer than I think the future models will. Without the interfacing, the cuffs should spread more naturally, as they seem to have done on Connery's shirts.

Kind regards,
