SUNSPEL RELEASE THE IAN FLEMING SEA ISLAND COTTON COLLECTION

Ian Fleming and Sunspel have a natural affinity – not least, our shared appreciation of Sea Island cotton. A preferred fabric both for Fleming’s own wardrobe and that of his iconic creation James Bond, Sea Island is the rarest, finest and softest cotton in the world.

Now a new Sea Island X Ian Fleming collection is available and made up of everyday wardrobe staples inspired by Ian Fleming’s creation, James Bond, each one elevated by the use of Sea Island cotton

Sea Island cotton is one of the world’s most luxurious fabrics, making up only 0.0004% of the world’s cotton supplies. It has an incredibly soft, silk-like handle that feels unbelievably soft against the skin.

The Sea Island cotton collection

Sea Island cotton Riviera Polo Shirt
The Riviera Polo Shirt originally dates from the 1950s but today’s iconic slim fit and cut was tailored for Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Now available in Sea Island cotton, it is more luxurious than ever.

Sea Island cotton Knit Short Sleeve Polo Shirt and Long Sleeve Polo Shirt
The Sea Island polo is a contemporary classic. With a matte three-button closure and subtle rib detailing on the edges, it is an extraordinarily soft and breathable layer.

Sea Island cotton Roll Neck Jumper
A soft roll neck jumper knitted from 100% Sea Island cotton – perfect for luxurious layering in the winter months.

Sea Island cotton Smart Shirt
Smooth and cool against the skin, this shirt is deftly tailored on the shoulders and body for a slim fit. The traditional full button-through closure and cuffs signal formality, while the removable collar stays allow for a more relaxed approach.

Sea Island cotton Sweatshirt
A refined take on the Sunspel sweatshirt. This is the rarest cotton in the world with the longest staple, making it extraordinarily soft. The result is a lighter, more refined version of our loopback cotton.

Sea Island cotton Pyjama Set
A stunningly soft, contemporary pyjama set. The cotton’s exceptionally long staple and smooth surface produce a uniquely soft and luxurious fabric, here made into a refined poplin. The details are taken from archive Sunspel nightwear sets, updated with a refined collar and pocket, and a contemporary cut.

Has James Bond worn Sunspel? 

Yes! Infamously Daniel Craig wore a Sunspel Navy Riviera Polo in Casino Royale. It's been a staple of the Sunspel Riviera collection and is still available to buy, even in a Sea Island cotton version. James Bond also wore some Sunspel t-shirts for the Venice scenes.
