Sean Connery's You Only Live Twice Suit at Prop Store Auction

Plus 40% OFF SIS Training Gear Shirt

February 21, 2024

Welcome to the EYES ONLY newsletter!

An Anthony Sinclair suit worn by Sean Connery in You Only Live Twice will be auctioned in March. It is rare for examples of Sean Connery suits to come up for auction as many were taken from the set by the actor after producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli stated he could keep any of the costumes he requested.

Lock & Co., the world’s oldest hat shop, has recreated Vesper’s Trilby which was only briefly seen in Casino Royale.

Don’t forget to enter the Sunspel contest and scroll down to read the Q&A with good friend and Bond fan Oscar Verpoort who added a great suggestion to the Spotify Playlist.

Q&A

For this newsletter, we’re speaking to my fellow Dutchman Oscar Verpoort. Besides a Bond fan, Oscar is a film and music video director, best-seller author and producer of the very successful Dutch TV illusion show Mindf*ck.

Q. Which three Bond clothes or accessories do you wear the most?
A. The black bobby v-neck by John Smedly, Omega Seamaster and Drake’s Crosby Mac-Toe Chukka Boots.

Q. If you could keep only 1 item of your Bond collection, what would it be?
A. My Aston Martin V8 Vantage. It already brought me to so many great Bond locations and I can’t wait for the next adventure!

Q. What is your most popular post/video?
A. The picture I took with my friend and fellow Bond fan Marc Daniel van Biemen at the gas station in Andermatt during our Goldfinger road trip. And from last year the Skyfall road trip in Scotland.

Q. Which Bond location do you still want to visit?
A. Can I name a few? Egypt for some The Spy Who Loved Me sightseeing, New Orleans for Live and Let Die, The Elrod House in Palm Springs for Diamonds are Forever, Hong Kong for The Man with the Golden Gun and Matera for No Time to Die.

Q. If you could meet any Bond actor (even if they’re no longer with us), who would that be and why?
A. GoldenEye was the first Bond film I saw in the cinema and therefore made a big impact. So that has to be all-around cool guy Pierce Brosnan.

Q. Which Bond-related song do you want to add to the Bond Lifestyle Playlist on Spotify / YouTube?
A. “Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” from Ray Barretto. His whole Señor 007 album has great Latin / Caribbean / Jazz vibes!

Q. Rolex or Omega?
A. Omega.
