The Archive: Six Original Production Stills

This collection begins with a curated set of five rare, original photographic production stills. Each image captures Sean Connery during the definitive years of the franchise, serving as a visual chronicle of the poise and rugged elegance that established James Bond as a global style icon.

The Craft: A Bespoke Journey at the NYC Townhouse

Complementing these archival images is a personal invitation into the world of elite British tailoring. The winning bidder will step into the role of 007 themselves with a commission for six custom-made bespoke shirts, meticulously tailored to their exact proportions by Turnbull & Asser's master shirtmakers.

The centerpiece of this collection is a faithful recreation of the shirt that started it all: the Dr. No replica. Following the exact specifications of the 1962 original, this shirt features the iconic "cocktail cuff"-a unique two-button turnback design that blends the formality of a double cuff with the ease of a button cuff, as requested by director Terence Young for Sean Connery's debut.

Beyond this historic replica, the recipient will collaborate with Turnbull & Asser's specialists to design five additional garments. From a vast library of premium house fabrics (Bands A through E) and an extensive array of heritage collar and cuff styles, each shirt is hand-cut in the brand's English workrooms. Utilizing a hand-cut split yoke for a perfect fit across the shoulders and finished with ethically sourced mother-of-pearl buttons, these shirts represent the pinnacle of a lineage that has dressed every era of Bond-from the classicism of Connery and the modernization of Pierce Brosnan to the high-stakes intensity of Daniel Craig's Casino Royale.
