So, two Roger Moore-portrayed adventurers of the 1970s walk into a haberdashery and -
Oh, that ridiculous scenario is not worth the contriving I'm trying to produce, but suffice to say that whilst my outfit is very much akin to 007's stylings-circa The Man With The Golden Gun - without even observing my higher heeled Alan McAfee snaffle bit slip-ons, a girl actually and facetiously told me that evening, "You scare me, Baron Samedi" (and never mind that I did in fact dress as that particular character for Halloween in Hong Kong last year to the total bafflement of the entire metropolis) - the shirt is certainly more at home in Sir Roger's Tony Curtis-co-starring, Peacock Revolution-set series, The Persuaders!, a reference that is particularly apposite, given that it was created by now-esoteric shirtmakers Deborah&Clare of Beauchamp Place, London some time between 1965 and 1975. They made the shirt Mick Jagger wore for his wedding to Bianca Pérez Morena de Macias, don't you know
D&C will return in a future Mode Parade entry

Love the outfit, and yes very Roger Moore in TMWTHGG. And I can also see you as the Baron. Pity it was lost on your fellow party goers!
I always liked that sand-colored suit (with lavender necktie) Moore had in The Spy Who Loved Me.
IIRC, the actor who played Baron Samedi appeared in several TV commercials for the "7-UP" soft drink in the 1970s and (possibly) early '80s.
Love the shirt B. Beautifully matched with the tie and jacket.
I'm loving the shoes. For me, they are a throwback to the early 90s, when even Christian Dior came out with their own version.
Cool look dude!

Many thanks, fellows
CK, I actually scoured The Suits of James Bond to see if that suit had been covered; there was a very similar ensemble from Sir Roger, but the tie didn't match your description. It's a blog I trust you're following, either way
Best,

TSWLM outfit has been "misremembered" by me, but I still love that ensemble:
