Moore wears Bogner three times in the role of Bond: a yellow suit for the pre-title sequence of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977); a blue jacket with pants and gloves in For Your Eyes Only (1981); and the present white Bogner suit in 1985, with more than one ski suit known to have been acquired for the respective productions.During a chaotic chase deep within the Soviet Union, Bond fashions a makeshift snowboard from a destroyed snowmobile to evade the enemy combatants across snow and water.

Follow that parachute!'James Bond [Sir Roger Moore] in A View To A Kill (1985)The infamous Eiffel Tower chase seen is one of the most dramatic to feature in Sir Roger Moore's reign as James Bond. An identical suit to the present lot is first seen when Bond meets a French private detective named Achille Aubergine (Jean Rougerie), at the fine dining restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. Aubergine discusses with Bond Zorin's horses and discloses that he is holding a horse sale later in the month. Moments later, Aubergine is assassinated at the table by May Day, played by Grace Jones.After the initial shock Bond immediately chases May Day as she races up the tower but is not quick enough to intercept her and she parachutes off in front of him. Bond continues his pursuit and descends the tower in the lift, before stealing a Renault taxi and giving chase through the streets of Paris. During this, the car is split in two and Bond is arrested by French Gendarmerie. May Day later lands on a boat travelling along the river Seine helmed by Zorin, and is able to escape.According to the family all the suits worn by Sir Roger Moore to the films' premieres were production made and from the set, with more than one of each being made for the productions.

A Douglas Hayward bespoke double breasted dinner suit for Sir Roger MooreLabelled 'Hayward, 95 Mount Street, London W1Y 5HG, Roger Moore' and dated '29.04.02', with silk lapels and purple braces, with a quantity of Sir Roger Moore's business cards to inside pocketFootnotes:Douglas 'Doug' Hayward (1934 – 2008) was not just a tailor to the stars (of whom he dressed many, including David Niven, Clint Eastwood, Sir John Gielgud, Michael Caine, Terence Stamp, Rex Harrison and Steve McQueen to name a few) but also the tailor for many films. He made the suits for Michael Caine and Noel Coward in The Italian Job and for Sir Roger Moore in James Bond. He wasn't just James Bond's tailor, however, but also Sir Roger's personal tailor and they struck up a great friendship, regularly lunching at Scott's on Mount Street. John Lennon once sang ''A working-class hero is something to be', in his song of the same name, about Doug Hayward. He was unable to gain a cutter's job on Savile Row due to his Cockney accent, so instead joined fellow showbiz specialist tailor Dimitrio Major, whose clients included Peter Sellers, in Fulham where he developed a service mentality and his career flourished. When choosing his own premises, he shunned Savile Row in favour of a house at 95 Mount Street in Mayfair.

A Cyril Castle navy cashmere double-breasted Chesterfield coat made for Sir Roger Moore in Live And Let Die1973Comprising a navy blue coat with velvet collar and rolled buttoned cuffs, labelled to inner inside pocket 'Cyril A Castle, 42 Conduit St. London W1', and handwritten 'R. Moore', dated in pen 'Sept. '72'; production-made, identical to the one seen in Sir Roger Moore's first scene as James Bond in Live And Let DieFootnotes:'Well you just keep on the tail of that jukebox, and there's an extra twenty in it for you'- James Bond [Sir Roger Moore] in Live And Let Die (1973)The present Lot marks an important moment in cinematic history, being the first article of clothing worn by Sir Roger Moore in his debut as James Bond in Live And Let Die. In the film, the cashmere coat with velvet collar is buttoned up over a matching navy Worsted flannel suit, also by tailor Cyril Castle. Bond arrives as the Pan Am Worldport at JFK airport to begin his mission in Manhattan. Later, as Mr Big (Yaphet Kotto) departs by car in front of the Oh Cult Voodoo Shop, James Bond emerges from a side door and follows him uptown towards Harlem in a New York taxi cab. Unbeknownst to Bond, he is being tracked at every street corner and even from within the cab.The use of the Chesterfield coat in Moore's Bond debut is reminiscent of the Sinclair navy Chesterfield overcoat worn by Sean Connery in his first Bond film, Dr. No (1962). The coat is evidently of personal importance to Sir Roger himself, having been kept and looked after by him and his family for half a century.Please note that the shirt, trousers and tie are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 41
A double-breasted mohair dinner suit reputedly by Angelo Roma and believed to have been made for Sir Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me1977Comprising a bespoke dinner jacket with wide silk peaked satin lapels, six silk satin buttons, jetted pockets, three cuff buttons and no vents, the flared trousers with silk trim, a single jetted pocket to the back right, both unlabelled, in midnight blue; identical to the suit worn by James Bond in the Eon Production The Spy Who Loved Me, at the Mojaba Club and the following day during the cat-and-mouse sequence with Jaws at the Karnak temple complex at Luxor,Footnotes:'The lady will have a Bacardi, on the rocks''For the gentleman, a vodka martini: shaken, not stirred''Touché'James Bond [Sir Roger Moore] and Anya Amasova [Barbara Bach] in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)James Bond wears an identical costume to the present Lot throughout the Mojaba club scene in Cairo with Max Kalba, and where he shows his hand to Bond girl Anya Amasova, played by Barbara Bach, by identifying her as Major XXX. The suit is further visible in the following scenes, shot in broad daylight, where the pair are transported to an Egyptian Temple in the back of Jaw's Telephone Service van. It is at the temple that the nerve-wrenching, and sometimes comical cat-and-mouse scene unravels between the three characters.Italian designer and Roger's personal tailor Angelo Vitucci, of Angelo Roma, was hired to design Rogers' bespoke suits for The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker following on from Cyril Castle and elaborating on his classic Bond looks. Vitucci's goal was to modernise James Bond's wardrobe by giving the character a quintessentially 1970s style. It is understood that in both films Vitucci designed for, James Bond is seen in near identically styled dinner suits. A distinguishing feature between them being the jetted back pocket on the dinner suit for The Spy Who Loved Me, as noted in 'From Tailors With Love: An Evolution of Menswear Through the Bond Films' by Peter Brooker and Matt Spaiser (2021). More obviously the dinner suit in Moonraker - which is worn during the cable-car scene with Jaws and Doctor Holly Godhead - appears to be black, in contrast to the midnight blue suit visible in the day scenes in The Spy Who Loved Me. It is interesting to note that Barbara Bach's navy silk evening gown worn in The Spy Who Loved Me compliments Bond's suit, as does the black Givenchy jumpsuit worn by Lois Chiles in Moonraker while filming the cable car action scene. For the production more than one suit was made for use during filming. It is widely known that Sir Roger would keep some of his James Bond suits from the productions and re-wear them. John Glen, the Editor of The Spy Who Loved Me has recalled 'I had to go on one occasion [to Moore's house in Denham] to get a suit to take out to Egypt. I spoke to him on the phone and he said 'If you go up the stairs and there's a special room which has got some suits in it.'' According to the family all the suits worn by Sir Roger Moore to the films' premieres were production made and from the set. This suit is identical to the one he is seen wearing at the Royal Charity Premiere for The Spy Who Loved Me screened at the Odeon Cinema Leicester Square, London on the 7th July 1977. He was accompanied by his wife at the time, Luisa Mattioli and two of their children, Deborah and Geoffrey. Princess Anne was in attendance that evening along with a host of celebrities including Sir Michael Caine, Nanette Newman, Barbara Bach, Cubby Broccoli and Lord Mountbatten.Please note that the shirt and bow tie are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The meeting is to update 007 of reports the Moonraker shuttle has gone missing over Yukon Territory. Bond is instructed to investigate the disappearance by visiting the Drax Corporation where the Moonraker was built. During this meeting and to aid his mission Q presents him with a number of gadgets including a wristwatch which can fire darts; one being a steel dart which can pierce armour, and the other containing cyanide. It is also the first time Bond is seen wearing a three-piece suit, marking a new direction in the characters style. More than one suit may have been production-made for the scene, with the present Lot being the suit kept for Sir Roger's personal wardrobe after the production had been completed.Please note that the shirt and tie are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bond identifies the culprit as a wheelchair-bound 'Blofeld' on a nearby rooftop (credited simply as 'bald-headed man with white cat'), and promptly dispatches the assailant by dropping him into the Beckton gas works in East London.For Your Eyes Only marks the first film that Douglas Hayward made the suits for Sir Roger Moore's Bond. Following the more flamboyant costumes of the 1970s peaking with Moonraker (1979), Moore's fifth outing as Bond saw a return to a more traditional style reminiscent of Sean Connery. To achieve this look Douglas Hayward was hired as tailor, replacing Angelo Roma, and would have made more than one suit for use in the filming of the scene. Since 1963 Hayward had established himself as a highly regarded tailor, dressing stars including Michael Caine, Steve McQueen and Terence Stamp among many others.Please note that the shirt and tie are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Following the dinner Bond escapes Khan's palace by dissolving the bars on his bedroom window and has changed into a safari suit.More than one suit would have been production-made and used during the filming of this scene. It is unknown why the trousers are not dated from the same period, however they correspond to the design that was used in the production of other suits. The trousers in this lot are from two years later and produced by Hayward during the filming of A View To A Kill.Sir Roger Moore wore this suit jacket at the British premiere of the film release on 6 June 1983 at the Odeon Cinema Leicester Square and was attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales.Please note that the shirt, bow tie and pocket handkerchief are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He made the suits for Michael Caine and Noel Coward in The Italian Job and for Sir Roger Moore in James Bond.

ROBERT POLHILL BEVAN (BRITISH 1865-1925) ON LUPPITT HILL, BARN FARM, LOOKING TOWARDS HARTRIDGE COMMON Oil on canvas Signed (lower right) 64 x 75cm (25 x 29½ in.)Provenance: Private Collection, Robert Alexander Bevan (1901-1974), second son of Robert Bevan and Stanislawa de Karlowska Sale, Christie's, London, Modern British and Irish Paintings, Watercolours, Drawings & Sculpture, 23 June 1994, lot 116, where purchased by Robert Kime From a young age Robert Bevan's career path had been carefully planned out for him. Born into a family of bankers his family descended from Silvanus Bevan and Robert Barclay which founded Barclay, Bevan, Tritton and Co. of Lombard Street in London. Today simply known as Barclays. However, Bevan rejected the invitation to continue his education and follow in his family's foosteps he wished to pursue his interest and passion in the arts and partake in formal training at the Westminter School of Art. These endeavours were financially supported by his family. After initial study in London Bevan moved to the Academie Julien in Paris where he studied alongside artists such as Pierre Bonnard and Maurice Denis. In 1890, Bevan headed south to the picturesque region of Brittany, where he became entrenched in the vibrant artistic community of Pont-Aven, alongside notable figures such as Paul Gauguin.In 1896, Bevan married Stanislawa de Karlowska, a fellow art student, and the couple settled in London. Stanislawa or better known as Stasia was originally from Poland and the couple would take long trips to visit her family and homeland. The summers of 1901, 1903 and 1904 were spent in Poland at Szeliwy family property, see Lot 323. The couple frequently ventured to the country, including the West Country and Sussex-places that held personal significance for Bevan. The present lot illustrates a small farm dwelling with a patchwork of fields beyond sprawling across the hills with two horses in the foreground. Inspired by the rhythm and serenity of everyday country life, Bevan found himself drawn to the motif of the horse. Bevan produced a series of paintings and lithographs centred around horse dealers and sellers at the Barbican and Tattersall, images of which were collected by Robert Kime including Lot 12 through to 17.Around the same period, during the summers of 1916-1919 Robert Bevan spent the majority of his time at a house called Lytchett's on Hart's Farm on Bolham Water in Devon. It is most likely that the present lot was produced during this period whilst staying at Lytchett's immersed in the rustic countryside, Bevan's body of work during this period is bold in colour and peaceful in nature. Anne Chard, the farmer's daughter recalled in an article for The Somerset County Gazette in 1978 and 1980 that 'some of us can remember, during childhood, meeting a solitary gentleman tramping miles by foot across the Blackdown Hills and Luppitt areas. He either carried a sketchbook and pencil or paints and easel tucked under his arm. He wore a bowler hat, light grey check suit with a watch-chain across his waistcoat. A bow tie and spats added to the elegance of his appearance.'During his time at Lytchett's, Bevan developed a deep fascination with close-up depictions of barns and dwellings. An exemplary work from this period, "The Chesnut Tree" (Hart's Farm), painted in 1916, now housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, illustrates Bevan's distinct artistic approach. Each work has been constructed in a similar manner, using the placement of the trees to build the layers of composition and create perspective. The dwelling fills the majority of the canvas made up of simple geometric shapes in subdued natural colours and in the foreground animals grazing carefree in the midst of nature.
