Royale Filmwear has upgraded this shirt and now is matched closer to the original and looks perfect.

[@SerratoDesigns]

I got this for my husband for his birthday, and he's super excited! Royale Firmware made a version 2 that's closer to the accurate color. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@TheBondArmory]

Rit dye worked perfectly on mine. 4 gallons of hot water 1.25 teaspoon of Rit Golden Yellow 1/4 teaspoon of Rit Fuchsia Soak the shirt for 10 minutes stirring constantly Wash immediately Done!

You can dye the shirt in a bathroom sink using a couple of tea bags for a few hours, believe it or not the tea leaves will work magic.

Did you try this? Good results? Don’t want to ruin mine!

[@airpaintpellet]

@@taffyleefubbins1304 go to the AJB forum.

[@milespenucevski2190]

I'm so excited! I popped into target and they had a short sleeve button up nearly the same color and pattern as the Bond shirt! The "flowers" are brown more so than red but it looks great!

[@kirkbrackmann6385]

Just got my Royal film wear shirt. Love it. I did dye it a little to color match it a little more to the original but, it’s awesome and I have you and this video to thank!

[@MegaTinni]

Soak it in (cold) tea for some hours or a night. Experiment with time you leave it in. This is how dressmakers dye veils to match offwhite wedding gowns. You could test on a plain piece of cotton, but every fabric will take the dye differently (at different rates) but cotton is perfect for this treatment.

@thebondexperience would you mind sharing where you got the undershirt? I just got the 2023 version of Daniel Love's Madagascar shirt and I LOVE IT! much closer to the original you have. All I need is the undershirt now, please help!

[@UniversalExports]

Great video thanks. You have an amazing collection of memorabilia 👍

[@leurek]

Awesome review.... Wondering if say a person was to lightly dye the shirt, say a khaki/olive color to match the background of the original would that destroy the rest of the shirt? Hmmm

[@ardania007]

You're a Die Hard Fan of Bond Keep up the Good work !!!

[@shawnparker2692]

Just ordered - supposed to be darker wine color now - need to work on Biceps like Bill now

[@ChrisDan94_]

Great review David!! Whats the cost? We have to get Daniel to do a matchless jacket now ;) Or a blazer!

[@kirkbrackmann6385]

Hey! Awesome video. Any thoughts on Magnoli Clothiers’ Madagascar shirt?

[@treadstone1970]

@The Bond Experience it's clever how you managed to get the screen accurate grey t-shirt under the Madagascar shirt despite the stripes on the arms not being visible in the actual movie.

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you!

[@EdLlewelyn]

Where is the grey shirt from? Great video too. Thanks 😃

[@joewinklerpt5412]

​@EdLlewelyn I'm pretty sure it's an Orlebar Brown shirt. Most of bonds tshirts are.

[@mikelykan.9416]

It's a great shirt in terms of likeness to the actual shirt from the film. I wouldn't complain.

[@slappy8941]

There's no apostrophe in "terms"; it's a plural case, not a possessive.

[@mikelykan.9416]

@@slappy8941 I'm dyslexic, if i can cope with it so can you. Thanks for the correction all the same.

[@StevenSheeran]

How does it compare to Indy Magnoli’s Madagascar shirt?

[@theplasticdesert2408]

How did washing it turn out?

[@richardcard82]

[@alexlee8765]

what about magnoli's madagascar shirt?

[@thomasbrow744]

Magnoli has the shirt with what seems to be the correct colors but it costs more.

[@johnsimmons831]

I look better in white than I do in ivory anyway.

[@solidus1995]

magnoli made a better one but its about double the price of daniels

[@SexedUpEddy]

Is frugal the pc way to say broke boy?

[@slappy8941]

It's too small for you.
