David has done a lot of great articles on dressing like Bond on a budget so I thought I'd make this thread to see what everyone's favorite budget clothing item is?
Mine would have to be the gray Mossimo athletic tee at Target and/or the longsleeve navy polo (I got one from J Crew on sale) from the Venice scene in Casino Royale. A simple outfit but easy to dress up or down.
Mine is a variant of the CR Miami chase jacket that i picked up
Mine is a similar jacket to the one worn in QoS.
My personal faves are:
1) Old Navy long sleeve blue polo ala the Venice scene in CR.
2) The persol 2244's
3) A pair of Ipath shoes that are kind of like the desert boots/ chukkah boots that DC wears in QoS.
My stuff came after listening to Head of Sections podcast where He interviewed Dave Zaritsky. Never really thought of going out and hunting down similar items. After hearing that podcast I hit all my local, (Canadian) stores and found some great pieces that were certainly inspired by that interview.
Thanks Dave and Head of Section!

Having not been able to score Levi's Staprest.. I did find that Target now carries the Levis Denizen jeans in white... and at only 24 bucks it is a great deal..
i found proper 306 sta prest on Ebay,, asked the guy to do a buy it now,, got them for £60 !!! woohoo,,,
A Bulova watch I wear. A fine watch for the price and looks an awful lot like the Omega Seamaster. I actually had a sales person at JCrew last week ask me if it was an Omega...

Land's end sell Bond-like clothing like polos,jackets and sweaters for £25-£50 and they dont fade,shrink and most items are anti-crinkle
Bond: Well, since "double-0's" have a short life expectancy, your mistake will be short-lived
