Own an authentic piece of James Bond history with this original Stromberg Submarine Crewman uniform from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Featured in one of the most iconic underwater sequences of the Roger Moore era, this striking orange uniform was custom-made for the villain Karl Stromberg’s crew in the epic underwater lair scenes.
The two-piece orange cotton uniform consists of a jacket and matching pants, both designed with utilitarian, military-inspired detailing for the film’s futuristic submarine aesthetic. The jacket features bold black stripes down each side of the torso and across the shoulders, a stand-up collar, central zipper closure, and two zippered front pockets. Buttonholes line the bottom edge for attachment to the pants, ensuring a seamless fit on screen. The interior of the jacket includes handwritten wardrobe notation reading “26A”, consistent with film costume labeling practices of the era.
The matching orange cotton pants include a zipper fly, interior waist buttons for connecting to the jacket, and two front zippered pockets. Inside the waistband, handwritten notes read “32 W / 33 L NO 1 A”, and an original Christie’s auction tag remains attached to the reverse left waist button, confirming its provenance from a prior major memorabilia sale. Completing the ensemble is an orange cotton belt, designed to be worn at the waist (belt buckle not present).
This authentic The Spy Who Loved Me costume represents an instantly recognizable element of the film’s production design, reflecting the signature look of Stromberg’s crew members within his undersea base, Atlantis. Designed for visual impact under studio lighting and aquatic environments, the bright orange uniform became an enduring symbol of 1970s Bond style and world-building.
A must-have for James Bond collectors, film memorabilia enthusiasts, and costume historians, this original Stromberg Submarine Crew uniform is a rare opportunity to own a tangible artifact from one of the most visually distinctive films in the Bond franchise.
