The coolest thing about Bond is he looks great without giving a damn what anyone else thinks. A good life lesson for us all.
Good example of that is in one of the worst Bond films, "Die Another Day", where he walks into a 5-star hotel looking like a homeless man but is still the coolest guy in the room
Umm, I think Bond is very self conscious in all seriouness.
Almost. It's the true understanding that you know what your style is, how you fit, what the occasion is. Once learned, grab-and-go becomes automatic. You don't obsess with what people think, because it's already in the background programming, freeing you to focus on the mission at hand so to speak.
Neoview, what you describe is the highest level of fashion one can archieve called "Sprezzatura".
It's to appear as if you are elegant by nature and not by effort.
@@joelantler6660 kn innnnnni
You got to be in shape to wear that 007 type fit
Diamonds Are Forever-era Sean Connery disagrees:P.
Jeff Melchior He kinda looked really bad in that movie tho. Probs mostly due to fashion trends at the time
Well get in shape then
Morgan Cuthbert thanks ass hole
@J Jay then we will just disagree. The comment wasn’t positive in any way.
If you have a physique like Daniel Craig , you will look good in anything.
clothes arent generally cut for fit people, so he youd still need to be particular or get it tailored
Physique matters but , in a business where every actor have perfect bodies and faces, the individual style puts one above the rest . Ngl compared to other top listers Daniel is shorter , not that big , not that “good looking” but he just looks soo good. His behaviour and style being the reason.
Craig looks good ? In other universe, perhaps.
@@diogocatalano9557 considering he was cast as bond, it’s this universe and you’re living in it lol. Don’t be jelly
@@mightymochi6320 he is Barbara Broccoli´s "dear friend". Nothing makes this guy looks good anyway.
The 1st rule of thumb, be fit!
I just got here and I'm astonished how many people are whining about your perfectly good content.
Seeing pathetic people hate on someone so much tells me you're doing it right.
Subbed.
-a life long Bond fan
Super nice of you to say....thank you!
What does that even mean. Who is hating on him?????
I just discovered your channel. I admire your enthusiasm and passion for all Bond related. Keep up the great tips.
You are the only one who does sophisticated style without being pretentious and snobby. Continue the great work!
Spot on with the fit David, everyone has a go to 'I call them the fit finishers' to get the fit best sorted for your needs .
I love this! Getting into the Bond Experience now and this helps me with my look. I’ve always had a shirt that is either too big or too small. I appreciate you and this video so much!
Spot on David. But I'm surprised you didn't mention Shoulder seams. It is such an important thing to get it meeting just as the shoulder ends. It's also one of the toughest things to get right without sacrificing everything else.
It's a really good point!
I have been enjoying your channel and this was just perfect! I liked exactly the way your shirts fitted! Just perfect! Well done!!
I'm watching this guy for the first time and he is apsolutly wright about matching sizes for different people and that everything is in our mind! For example,i am an average build person and couple a days before i bought a t-shirt for children and in the store the salesgirl was convincing me to take the larger one but when i got out from the dreessingroom she just said "MAY I PACK IT UP FOR YOU,SIR'!" And i"m 41 years old.
This really may be your best clothing-related upload yet. And not to mention, that OB jacket is something of pure genius 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much!
Percy Gates the least awful one....
...Your simple suggestion of being confident in not just what you wear, but how it fits, is MUCH appreciated from a general social awareness point of view (for me). Male, or female, that exude confidence in their low brow style of fashion, say much more than what words can express. (just subscribed, and now, is my focus for cold season enjoyment 2020 .)
5:30 !!!
This is my rule; always buy the smallest size that fits you (as long as you can comfortably move in it). Even when I try size L an I feel that it fits me perfectly, I always try the size M just for the sake of comparing it (and if it's too tight, I'll stick with L).
It's a good technique!
Not bad, but if you're very tall, you don't want to go too short eh.
Be in shape / tailor your clothes / pick your clothes wisely and try them all on first 👌🏼
Love the Goldeneye music in the background!
Great vlog David. Thanks. Just a couple of things that relate to this vlog. I have a Barbour Beacon jacket, I ordered a size large, buried me, despite me being a medium. So, ordered the medium, great fit. Also thank you for your comments about buying an NPeal jumper.
My pleasure!
Daaaamn,you got the same clothes ,the same hair cut ,you juste need the guns and the target 😂😂Keep up the good work👍👍
This is the first video I see from you and I must say. You are AWESOME!
I can see the passion in you and the way you go in-depth in the themes which are important to you.
I'm also a great James Bond fan and I totally get the idea of invoking the "James Bond feel" by dressing in a certain way or doing activities like snowboarding, paintball, or skydiving. It can be different for each and everyone, but it's that feeling of being in your absolute best state. You are in your James Bond mode and feel like nothing can stop you.
Clothing can be a big driving force for this. More so because in some cases it shows status and wealth.
You see, James Bond has two different "profiles", the first one is the slick spy in a suit and the other one is a more tactical war soldier.
Both are awesome, have great clothing, and make you feel like the same person. James Bond.
I know this would be out of topic for you, but have you ever considered doing an in-depth analysis video about the clothing in the Indiana Jones movies. I think you would enjoy it. It has some pepper called "adventure" and "freedom", things that James Bond lacks.
In the second Indiana Jones film, at the end when he is standing on the bridge, all his clothes totally messed up, dirty, and fallen apart. You wouldn't believe me but I swear, you would want to wear that outfit in that state and feel like Indiana Jones on that bridge in an awesome adventure in the middle of nowhere.
It's all about the feeling you want to invoke!
Thanks for the Video!! :D
I really respect your enthusiasm

For the simple fact that you zeroed in on the polo. And I loved the way Daniel Craig’s clothes fitted him in his first Bond film. He had very primal aesthetic athletic build in CS. And I knew that I wanted to emulate that style for myself.
Bravo good Sir.
Perfect fit on the polos and jackets! (except on the Tom Ford's polo from Quantum of Solace). Also, you're in great shape and that helps a lot, so congrats on this because it is not easy to do so. Cheers!
I have always thought that you have nailed every outfit and I have tried a lot of these brands and struggled with the sizing myself. I have fallen victim to all sorts of issues and I am ok with it. If you enjoy the piece go ahead and rock it.
Just FYI as of 07/19/19 Old Navy has their Active Breath On Navy Polos on sale for $18.99.
It’s a blend but they fit great! I normally wear a medium, but on your advice I went to a size small and it fits perfectly!
This have a few old Navy polo shirts . They are really good . This also got a very nice P jacket 2 years ago. Just like the one on Skyfall . ( Not the one they sell now ).
Lol I am surprised and amazed how the algorythm sugested this video to me :D
Good work again David. Wonderfully illustrated and a very lucid, natural citation of the different styles and silhouettes. With regards to the pink, I honestly think it comes down to skin tone whether someone can pull it off or not. Robert Davi introduces pink from his own wardrobe to Licence to Kill and he looks fantastic because of his dark hair and more tanned tone. Much like Sean can in Thunderball. I’m hideous in pink because I have very pale, translucent skin and it does little for me. Matt Spaiser is the ultimate go-getter trend setter and if he decides he wants to wear pink, we’ll all follow suit. Pun intended.
Agreed on all fronts...I could use a little more sun when wearing the pink....
@@TheBondExperienceexcellent idea, if you get burnt you will have a nice complimentary combo: red and pink. 😂😂😂 I particularly like pink and orange 🍊 so maybe don't sunbathe too much.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧xx am a new subscriber i saw you on this morning in England. James bond reminds me of my dad and growing up in the 70s when i was just a little girl and been at home with my brother and sisters my dad would always watch James bond with us all has a family mostly around Christmas time because in them days in england we only had 3 or 4 channels .really good memories 😊 thank you for the vlog
Awesome, you explain all things very well. Glad I found this channel.
Hi David, another brilliant vlog!!! Love the content.
May I ask where you got the skyfall picture and sign in the backdrop. Thank you.
The sign came from an artisan on AJB.
Funny banter, fantastic vlog, fun subject, fabulous polo collection
Thanks so much!
That remixed James bond theme playing in the background is fire. 🔥🔥
Love your passion and enthusiasm
Great content as always! I notice that you mention you’re wearing size Small for the Sunspel polos, yet the pictures show size Medium on the collar label. Are you sure it was size Small for Riviera and the banded one?
I have that Billy Reid polo in navy. Very soft fabric. For banded polos I can recommend the H&M in cotton/silk. You wore that on your IG.
Agreed!
The best fitting pieces you have are the Orlebar Brown ones,but I am a little biased because I have some pieces myself and are the ones that fit me the best.
Great video!!
Goodevening David,
I really enjoy the vlogs. Could we also see your literature collection or 'What to read to live the Bond Experience', and other sources of knowledge or self improvement?
Let me give it some thought.
That Toweling jacket looked so good!
The best to do is have class and dress with things that doesn't go out of style. A W
Mr. Bond is the icon , the classic look of the most fashionable gentleman in this world. Cool enough reasons of keeping this icon look.
Spot on ! Please do the same with suits
Regarding the Tom Ford QoS Polo shirt....Screen-accuracy is good and all, but I can't help but feel that the shirt reminds me of a Sunspel that's been put into the dryer at the wrong setting, and that it had shrunken and stretch in the mid-section something fierce.
But I want to thank you for putting together a almost 30mins long video of the most comprehensive Bond style clothing vlog one can hope for. Your efforts and hard work is most definitely appreciated by the greater Bond community David! Salute!
Tosca is not for everyone... :)
The N. PEALE cashmere polo is my choice-very nice...
It will be in my collection soon.
Cashmere?
Good video and some great pointers, but I disagree with your understanding of fit. You said yourself you need to find an optimum between what is shown on screen and what works for yourself and I feel like you are trying to push yourself into clothes that were made for a different (maybe more athletic, maybe younger) bodystyle. One off the basic rules of mens classical fashion is to have the least possible wrinkles. That goes for trousers, jackets, shirts and even shoes. Whenever you present Poloshirts for example as well fitting, they always seem at least half a size too small to me. You said shirts shouldn’t cut off your circulation, but shirts shouldn’t ever be so small that you even have to think about them cutting off your circulation. The underarm area seems way too tight to me, which doesn’t just show the wrinkles, but increases sweat production as well. Also having shirts fit this small doesn’t just accentuate your pectoral muscles, it forces them on the person in front of you. That might be something a bodybuilder wants, but definitely not a person looking for the classical James Bond Style.
What I don’t understand is why someone with your level of expertise, knowledge and access to these rather expensive items chooses to wear something that doesn’t make him look as good as it could. Especially since that’s not even how these clothes fit Daniel Craig (and even if they did, that wouldn’t make it ideal for you).
If this seems like a rant, it kind of is, because I simply can not wrap my head around it. But in all honesty, I’d really love to hear your opinion on it.
Dave, just subscribed. Great video. What watch are you wearing? Thanks
This is awesome! Are you going to be doing a style/difference between the different 007's?
Cool videos, we need to develop a good standard for life, and your show teaches good standard of being, how nice to have Bond as a role model.
I'm just 8 minutes into this video and noticed something that has blown my mind! I have never seen a decent polo in my country (New Zealand). They all have far too long sleeves (aka the "Weakling" Sleeve, purposely built for hiding thin arms) and lots of them look like they are made for obese beer drinkers. Yuk! Consequently I've avoided them like the plague! So now I'm gonna attempt to locate a decent fitting (but affordable) polo with a properly short sleeve.
Don't know how I got here.. And don't get why people's are winning... Subbed.. Keep up the good work
The Sebastian is a fantastic polo indeed. But I really had to get used to the tight sleeves. Regarding that, I prefer the look and fit of the Felix and Andy polos. All have high sleeves, but the Felix and andy are a bit more relaxed.
Good choices!
The people at EON who are responsible for styling Daniel Craig, always get it absolutely spot on. Also they're not looking at what will look good now, they're looking at what will look good next year. Daniel Craig's Bond has by far had the best styling. All his clothes look great, and haven't dated at all. I only bought by Barbour Dept. B jacket last year from Skyfall , last year and it still looks great.
They do get it right....
I don’t know about getting it right - more like getting it too tight in the case of Craig.
"Daniel Craig's Bond has by far had the best styling". "haven't dated at all". Do you consider Craig's outfits the best because they haven't dated (that's a cheap shot really considering Craig's films are the most current) and is following current trends when it comes to suits imperative to you when judging style? That seems like a case of begging the question to me. From a purely tailoring perspective, Craig is far from the best - I mean he wears ready-to-wear Tom Ford suits with lapels that break in the middle, collars that are gapping and that dreaded x silhouette at the buttoning because the suit is so skin-tight. I don't judge him for that, I think if he had the chance, he would have chosen otherwise, but modern Bond films must include promotion of some sort. Sean Connery's Anthony Sinclair bespoke suits will age much better, the proportions, the fit and the cut are all something you could wear proudly 50 years ago just as much as today.
Great content David! Just ordered a diff color Sunspel polo and trying a downsize per your tips. Will see how it goes. 🤞
Let me know how it turns out.
Update : there is a significant size diff between a Medium and Large in the Sunspel Riviera polo. Large is ok but a bit “flowy” on me like your Tom Ford polo. Medium makes me look like a sausage. 😂
Already owned one in large and looks like that’s where I’ll stay till getting in better Bond shape. For reference if anyone else is interested - 6’3”, 190, 40” chest and 34-35”waist.
What will you do when the new Bond is a woman. ? Lol
Did you have to send it back? 😂😂😂
All of those shirts looked great dude.
Simplemente, excelente, gracias
With due respect, can I say that I think your polo is excellent looking and fitting but its a an inch to inch and a half too short.
This is a good video. I have to point out one error that the host makes about the Four F's: the term "Fashion" as it is used refers to how well a garment has been put together, how well it has been "fashioned". This manifests in the details of construction. It does not refer to "fashion" as an expression of current clothing trends, even though the host makes a good point about choosing what works best for you rather than wearing what is popular at the time.
Great video! As always.
Thanks!
I see now that one must be in shape in order to get the best possible effect! It just doesn't work if you are built badly.
6:15 the way you build ...you say... dont forget that the way (we) build (and the work behind: eat train sleep - repeat ) is to much effort for the most guys
btw thx for the orlebar info. (i weare polos from aeronautica, same cut.)
Could you share the specifics of the first OB navy shirt please? Is that cotton or wool? Thanks
Good advice! I hate those loose fit on the arms!
the Feel of my recently received five N.Peal Bond cashmere pieces is butter soft incredible. Packaging incomparable also.
Crazy soft....
ty Devin Weston from GTA V :)
Saving you all 29 odd minutes, basically wear your polo shirts a size down presuming you got that slim/athletic build of Bond.
For everyone else hit the gym.
😂😂😂
Great practical tips!
Thanks so much.
Man you really love James Bond
Loved your Channel
I'm inspired! Tq
David, everything you wore fit perfectly. And I'm a heterosexual man saying that, for the record. Your final statements said everything (not "or nothing"), mainly that it's how we feel, ultimately. But you need to give yourself more credit. I'd consider you in everyday Bond shape. The relative difference between you and Craig is 2-3 weeks of hardcore exercise and diet that celebrities kick into gear before the shoot. Props, my friend!
I know David isn't saying one has to buy the Bond Brands. However, if you want to wear the same "Brands" as Bond, then be prepared to open up the bank. If you like paying $200 for a simple Polo shirt then dressing "exactly" like Bond is in your wheelhouse. For most folks, we're going to settle for "looking" like Bond in fit ect. without having the tag (and $$$) that goes along with it. I wouldn't mind recommendations on cheaper alternatives (Brands and/or sites) that maintain the look for cheaper prices. Really enjoy this channel.
मैं भारत से हूँ,, और आपका video मुझें बहुत अच्छा लगता है,, आप 2nd Bond हैं
Very good video, thank you for posting it.
Actually Excellent Research
Forgot the 5th F...Ford as in Tom Ford since it seems the majority of Bonds wardrobe is Tom Ford. Jeans, polos, suits, tux, etc.
Ford makes very nice clothing. Not cheap though.
I never knew until i shopped at N Peal that their garment's such as the polos are very wearable during spring & summer.
Yao the intro killed me hahahha
Good shape is primary thing you need, the confidence and style follows
Cool explanation.
I love Polos, in terms of material quality, I have tried a lot of different ones and finally I like the Micro Fiber Polos. Why? Because you can wash them so many times without looking washed out after a certain time. Also the feel on the skin, it’s like Silk.
Aloha
Superb Video.
I have been following you for several years, and you actually look a lot better now than back when you started. I suspect clothes fit better on you now, because you have lost fat and gained muscle.
Keep up the good content.
Men need to always upgrade, this is good stuff.
I've just bought a simlar polo shirt from H&M but ofcourse I've been on a diet and my arms aren't as big as yours. I did think about buying a small but went for a Medium.
That’s polo looks too short for my taste but so awesome you feel confident in it, and that’s the important thing
Amazing Video!
Good to know.
These are great polos
My favorite polo is the sunspel (the 2nd) 😍😍😍 the fit is very incredible !!
You can't go wrong!
The OB polo seems incredible too 😍
Thanks bro from india
What a dope ass channel
This show should be called The Expensive Bond- Living Like Bond.. One Paycheck At A Time!!!!!!!
Everything from clothing to jewelry is very Expensive!!!!
Good video but I do wonder why wear Olebar Brown? Shouldn't you have a polo made by John Smedley out of Sea Island Cotton. That's the real deal. Flemings Bond wore Sea Island cotton.
Any videos explain bonds home? His apartment and the furniture he has?
Would love to see this as well.
Interesting video 👍
Thanks!
Sunspel polo fits me well, I stand 6’0 1/2”, broad shoulder.
Sean Connery......the STYLISH Bond
Roger Moore.......the COMEDIAN Bond
Timothy Dalton...the SERIOUS Bond
Pierce Brosnan....the COLD Bond
Daniel Craig.........the BRUTAL Bond
Tom Hardy............the MAD Bond
you forgot George Lazenby
Muy buen Video!
Le consulto; - El personaje de James BOOND - tenía un pasado Militar?
Gracias.
What's the name of that specifik polo-shirt? I've been looking for that one for so long!
Hit me up when you found it, Ive been looking for that too
Very cool video. I wasn’t familiar with the brands except Tom Ford. I’m guessing those polo shirts are on the pricey side but it won’t stop me from looking into getting one hahaha.
The thumbnail image center one ! Which movie is that ? And what’s the shoes bond wearing ?
