There's nothing better than people who are passionate about what they do. Good vid!
The history, the passion, and the stories. Ticks all of the boxes and more. Well done Blair!
I wish hats came back, older days everyone wore hats !!!
My first watch from your channel and what a lovely experience it was! Actually been eyeing some flat caps from Lock & Co before I even knew about their rich history.
Enjoyed this video once again by Blair, visiting the shops associated with Bond. He didn't ask about the hat George Lazenby wears in his one outing of bond.
Extremely informative and interesting! Thanks for bring this to us.
Great video! Very informative, thank you for taking the time to make this video
Top notch vid. Thank you!
Great video. I was hoping you would ask about the hat Largo is wearing in Paris when he arrives at S.P.E.C.T.R.E. headquarters which I believe it is a Homburg in charcoal. When you visit Lock & Co. next, I would greatly appreciate it if you would ask about it. Again, excellent video.
In my chats and email conversations with Michael before we shot the film, I asked him about the Homburg, both Largo's and the Homburg used by Connery for the promo shots, and Lazenby. He gave me the same answer as he did for the straw hats- there is no way to check for certain, but he doesn't think that they were from Lock & Co. Sorry!
Excellent video .....loved the Sandown 👍
that top hat really suits you!
Awesome !
Does anyone know the brand of count lippe watch in Thunderball? Thanks a lot!
Hmmm...I‘m a Fedora guy probably. Must pay them a visit!
They’ve actually done a number of replications for the 60th anniversary.
A great store
The Lucille Sun hat
You didn't show the cocktail ???? Jesus !!!
Hi there. The cocktail that I showed is The Oddjob 1676. Michael unfortunately described the wrong one!
And I'm hoping to shoot a vlog at Duke's at some point in the future, so we'll get the full details (and hopefully a taste !) soon
