N. Peal “No Time To Die” 007 Sweater Review: How Will It Look On Me (& Why I started This Channel!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Why I started this channel focusing on the sartorial style of James Bond 007, with particular attention, but not limited to larger framed people (XL and above).
And review of the Commando Sweater as seen in Bond 25, “No Time To Die,” as offered by N. Peal in Superfine Merino Wool and Cashmere.
Of course it looks great on James Bond (Daniel Craig), but….how will it look on me? Can I pull that look off?
Fantastic job! You are a flawless presenter and storyteller! Really enjoyed this video and can't wait for more. Most importantly, congrats for taking a step into a big world of content creation and entertainment. Keep the passion strong!
I am truly humbled. I can’t tell you how much your words mean to me my friend! You have been and continue to be an inspiration for all of us Bond fans! I have an unbelievable amount to learn. But I will meet the challenge and as Lorenzo @omegabondwatches said, I am having fun! If a bit overwhelmed and stressed about it too! Lol. Thanks so much again.
Thanks for the comment and support Shane! It is a great garment from an amazing company. As I said, it was my first even N. Peal piece and I love it. My wife gave me the Fumo gray Spectre sweater for Christmas and it is so luxurious being 100% cashmere!
I am a big and tall fellow, and I really appreciate finding this video through a channel link on David’s channel. This is so needed, so I hope to see more content soon. There is, I think, a large segment of folks like us who want to dive into the Bond lifestyle, but struggle because we look more like Jaws from Moonraker than like Daniel Craig. Thanks for this !!
Thanks for your comment! And you are too funny! The Jaws remark! Love it.
Great first video, Will! Love your energy, and The Spy Who Loved Me was my first Bond film in the cinema, too! Looking forward to seeing your next film!
Thank you so much for starting this channel Will! Being a larger gentleman myself, I always want to know how these garments would fit my body, but I struggle in finding reviews from individuals like myself. It's so amazing to find out how Bond's sartorial kit will fit me, so thank you for making this (and hopefully many more) video(s)!
Miles, I can’t thank you enough for your support and your words. So very much appreciated. It makes me feel fantastic to know that this resonates with you and so many others in the Bond world! And I definitely intend on continuing to make videos! I truly want to hear what you want to see. I have plans for several more already but my channel is hopefully “our” Bond Community channel! Thanks again!
Fantastic 1st video. You're a natural. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Thank you! I am looking forward to trying to contribute to our fantastic Bond community and hopefully provide content people want to see.
Greetings from Leicester UK
welcome to youtube
WHAT AN AMAZING FIRST VIDEO
I tried the same size on when I was in London last September & fell in love with it also (roll on January payday)
Keep up the great content 🤗🤗🤗
Keep up the great work 👍👍
Great idea for a channel! Sorry I missed the premiere but I had work commitments - good luck moving forward - you're off to a great start!
Thank you so much! And thanks for your work btw! I’ve got (on paper) multiple items of training kit that I intend on ordering soon! I’m going to continue my fitness journey/struggle and I’m going to do it in style! If M thought Bond was out of shape in “Skyfall”… ha, hold my martini!
@@bond00xl49 Haha I love it!
Very well done, sir! This community has needed a voice like yours - a perspective like yours. Thank you for stepping up to the plate a knocking over the centerfield fence. We’ve all asked ourselves, “Can I pull that off?” Or, “Would that look good on me?” You’re commentary has provided us with our answer. A resounding “Yes!” All the best, Old_Dog_007
I am so appreciative of your comments and your support!! You know, I am thrilled if I can somehow inspire others to have the confidence to allow themselves to participate in these sartorial offerings! Thanks so much. Truly.
What a wonderful first video! Quite honestly you are a natural behind that camera! All I can say is that I want more! Can’t wait to see what is in store, you have bright bright future ahead of you!
Thank you!!! I sincerely appreciate your kind words my friend! I have so much to learn (I promise not to keep bothering you, don’t worry!)! But I can’t thank you enough for all your help. The thumbnail you did was PERFECT!
Great intro ! I am a bigger gentleman as well! I am on a weight loss journey-and I have plenty of Bond Clothing I hope to fit in! I resonate with many of the things you said -way to speak to the experience of the larger gentleman out there which are many in number ! Keep up the good work !
We ARE many in number and I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video and that my message was well received! Us larger folks should work on fitness but should also feel confident and comfortable being who we are now! In our own skin!
@@bond00xl49 Absolutely! I am subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more content from you good sir ! Cheers to you -I will throw up a salute to you when I am drinking my Vesper later today !
Hello. Great to see a balance with regards to Bond clothing. Not criticising other channels (which I very much enjoy watching) but a breath of fresh air to watch this.
I’ve got the new NTTD Omega. It won’t go on my wrist until I get to my target weight (not ideal weight, the target I’ve set) and it won’t be worn if I go over that weight. It’s in the box hidden away at present…
Keep going with this channel please.
All the best from the U.K.
I continue to be incredibly touched by the wonderful comments like yours. Thank you so much! It is so rewarding to know that my goal, my message is being understood and valued! BELIEVE me,I understand about buying something and waiting to reward yourself upon weight loss! I’ve done that very thing countless times as well over the years. However, please forgive me if I’m being too familiar, but I’d say wear it NOW! Enjoy it and every time you look at it remind yourself it is a reward for keeping up the fight, the struggle! Use it as an inspiration. As you pick up something you are going to wish you’d not eaten, look at what time it is. Remind yourself that it IS TIME to make the choices you want/need to make to get the outcome YOU desire for YOU! That’s my 2 cents, for what it’s worth. Now… I need to practice what I preach!
@@bond00xl49 Sensible advice! I think I may do just that. Thank you for responding. (I’ll have to ignore beer o’clock!)
You are a NEW star! So glad you decided to do this-
At 56 and 5'10 I am very eager for your future videos. I too became a fan because of The Spy Who Loved Me.....but was sold when FYEO played non stop in the early days of HBO. Wishing you all the success and fun the channel can bring you-
last thing...while not a Bond brand...the boat neck led me to the LL Bean blue combat sweater with either a rounded or henley collar. While I most of the time prefer the authentic brands I have found myself more satisfied with the look and feel of that iteration.
Hardly a star, but hopefully at least a voice, face and body for individuals who are built differently than what is considered ideal! Thanks so much for your support!
Really enjoyed this video, Loved the back story of how you got into bond. Your so comfortable behind the camera and so laid back too.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic video, Will! You're amazing on camera, and your video looks so professional! I believe strongly in your perspective that Bond style is for everyone, no matter your shape and size. Good clothes look great on anyone, and you have great tips for looking your best. I love seeing my book in the background!
Thank you so much! Strong words coming from you as you literally wrote the book, along with Mr. Brooker, on Bond style and fashion! And I might add in all sincerity, a fantastic read that I recommend any interested in the Bond style and fashion, pick up and read! I truly appreciate your attitude on the inclusiveness of the amazing Bond stylings. It should be for everyone!
Grade A quality & production. Fantastic video all around! I am beyond excited to see what you do next, my friend! Congratulations! PS Thanks for the shoutout!
I seriously can’t thank you enough for your kind and inspiring words my friend! Thanks so very much!
Loved this video and very much look forward to seeing more videos.
Thanks so much for you taking the time to comment! I really appreciate your support!
Awesome video and awesome channel! Hello and congratulations from a fellow XL James Bond fan
Wow! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments! Very happy that you are going to join us! I’ve got so much to learn but I am looking forward to it.
YES! Really looking forward to more content and perspective!
Thank you! I really do appreciate your support!
Great video! You rocked it. Big Bond fan and I’m a big guy! Looking to more videos! Thank you!
Man, thank YOU! I sincerely appreciate your support!
i love that you are pushing for lager guys clothing it can be hard to find clothes being large and i think that the sweater looks great on you man!!!
Thank you very much! I sincerely hope our wonderful Bond brands understand that us larger framed people want to live this fantastic sartorial lifestyle and that we will support them! The Bond lifeStyle IS for everyone who wants to participate!
Fantastic video. 5’11” 250 53” chest so you are speaking my language! Subscribed to your channel and Instagram. Look forward to more videos. I personally am not a fan of the boat neck and drawstring. However this sweater did inspire me to buy a more traditional commas sweater from LL Bean, which I recommend as an alternative.
Thanks Tony! I too have the LL Bean Commando sweater and it is a great alternative! Thanks for your support!
Hi sorry for commenting again ,my best friend is a big guy and you've gave him a new lease of his clothes , I've told him he looks fine time and time again,but after watching your video last night it really motivated him ,thank you so much. Ps . can't wait for more videos.
Thank you for sharing this. It is exactly what I hoped might happen. It makes me so happy to learn that I can help someone on their journey to really value themselves, and allow themselves to live the lifestyle they choose!
Well done and thankyou for doing this video.... as an XL im with you.... great work and im looking forward to the next video
Thank you Stan! I am so happy that people built more like myself are encouraged and supported to live the Bond lifestyle!
Awesome video. I look forward to more.
Thank you very much. I have a lot to learn, but I’m having a blast!
Great first video! Keep it up. Can’t wait to see more. Great intro.
Thanks so much! I really look forward to doing more and really appreciate your support!
Great video, great presentation fun video
I love the NPEAL sweater the look of it…. I am wrestling with the fact to buy a small or medium
Thank you for starting your channel Really enjoyed your video. Looking forward to the next
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your support!
Sir, thank you for your video. I saw it all with genuine interest and saw how genuine you were about it all. I remembered kindly of when I was a exchange student in nearby South Carolina. Unfortunately, where I live a sweater like this would be almost out of service all the time. Also sadly, it is still very difficult to come by Bond merchandise around here at accessible prices. So it is really a joy to see a video like this, specially being of a larger frame like yourself. Once again, thanks. Know that you have a follower (and fan!) from Brazil.
Wow! How wonderful! Thank you so much for you kind words! It pleases me greatly that my honesty and enthusiasm came across, because it is real! I would love to visit your amazing country one day! Definitely on my to do list. Thank you again.
@@bond00xl49 thank YOU for replying, sir! It’s a wonderful country and I’m sure you will enjoy it, please come! It would be a pleasure to show you some of it!
Good that I found your video. I’m 38 to 40 on my waist and I was going to buy a XXL. Now I’m going for the XL as well. Very honest video keep doing your content. Have fun!
Thanks so much! I should have another out in just a few weeks! Please stay tuned and thank you for your support!
This is an awesome video. I'm 6' 3" and currently weigh about 280 pounds. I'm in the process of losing a little weight. Would ideally like to be about 240-245. But I also struggle buying some of these Bond items because they are "slim" fit. It's very annoying because with love handles or a little bit of a belly it just doesn't look good like it does on Harris or David. Thank you for starting this channel. I cannot wait to see how this grows. I'm Living the Bond Life on Instagram. Thanks again man! Looking forward to the future.,
This is so touching, thank you for sharing a bit of your story! I sincerely appreciate the support and your kind words. Hopefully this channel and my IG will help give those of us with different body types the confidence to allow ourselves to enjoy these styles, because it is now hyperbole to say these are amazing styles! I applaud you on your efforts to get in better shape for your health! But allow yourself, give yourself permission to live the lifestyle now! As far as size availability, if one particular company does not have the size we need, we need to respectfully make them aware of a large segment of the market that they may be missing out on. Then, source as close of an alternative as we can. It is after all, about how it makes US feel! How we can capture these Bond moments. Thanks so much again for your kind words and your support!
Hi...Bravo & Congratulations on your maiden video👏👏. For a 1st time out, this video served as both an intro to the channel & a product review too. You've succeeded on both counts. Entertaining, Informative & importantly...100% truthful about the pros & cons of the item being reviewed. Superb job. Thanks👍
Finally.... What a great name for your channel. Brilliant.
Wow! Thank you for your well thought out comments. I really appreciate your support! And yes, hoNesty/CREDIBILITY is all important imo!
Fantastic job, really hope to see your channel grow. Look forward to more sir!
Thanks s much! I appreciate your feedback. I have so much to lean but I’m having fun!
Great job, Will! Really nice presentation and backstory. This is definitely a needed niche in the Community. Also, good to know you’re a fellow North Carolinian and I can trust your judgement! 👍😉
Another NC Bond fan? How wonderful! We need to (eventually get together! I really want us to gather more as Bond fans whenever possible. I sincerely appreciate your feedback and support too! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video!
@@bond00xl49 for sure.
Brilliantly put together Will! I look forward to seeing your future content!
Thank you for the comments and support! Let me know what you would like to see! I want input from this amazing community.
Loved it! Well put together! And I’m sure the XL will speak to me! Well done!
Thank you my friend! Your kind words are so appreciated.
More like XXXL for you 😂
Great debut video! Congratulations 👏🏻 Great work
Thank you! I’ve got so much to learn. But I am looking forward to both the challenge and the journey!
Thank you my friend! I appreciate your generous words.
Great first video! Looking forward to more my friend! I have an odd body type and definitely struggle with how I might appear in certain clothing. Thin arms and legs, heavy chest and midsection. The struggle is real! 😩
Thank you! This is exactly why I started this channel! I really want ALL of us to appreciate who WE are and learn to be happy in our OWN skin! Your comments are truly SO appreciated!
Great job, Will! Wishing you nothing but success in your future videos 😊
Thanks my friend. I have you to thank/blame in large part! But I am indeed having fun man. Thank you!
This was an awesome first video. It is very well done and your delivery is smooooth as vanilla. Congrats. I look forward to more. I acquired my sweater for Christmas 2020 so have worn it for over a year now. It does grow on you. I wear it a lot with tan/khaki pants and moleskins and once in a while with blue pants (I know a bit of cosplay).
Thank you for your kind words and your support! It is a fantastic garment. I just need to shake out the shoulders a bit more to get rid of that gathering of fabric there!
Excellent video! Looking forward to more content and reviews.
Thanks for taking the time to give us a watch and for you support!
What a really nice chap, and great video. Stumbled on this as I'm gonna get the sweater ... In regards to weight and size. I'm 5 foot 8 and I once weighed 266lb with a 44 inch waist and 55 inch chest. Fast forward to now, I'm coming in at 168lb, 28 inch waist and 40 inch chest. 8% body fat with six pack to match. It doesn't matter where we was, it's about where we are going. We can all get that Bond look (if we want it)!!!
Wow! I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful comments. And HUGE congratulations to you and the WORK you have done for your transformation. That is EARNED! I really appreciate your support. All the best!
Well done Will you rocked it
Thanks again for taking the time to watch and to comment!
This was great! Your review makes me want to buy this sweater
You are too kind, but thank you! It is an amazing sweater. It is my first N. Peal garment but hopefully won’t be my last. I have wanted one of their products for a long time and this one is why I finally pulled the trigger. Very pleased.
Ok I’m hooked. Liked and subbed!!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your support!
Excellent video! Welcome!
Thank you so much for your support. Truly. I sincerely appreciate it.
Wow amazing video! Can’t wait for more from this channel! Liked and subscribed! (Jeff)
Thank you!
Can't wait for more! Especially the Barbour jacket. You mentioned food and drink. If you have some knowledge in that area, I'd love it if you shared that. That seems to be a less covered area in the community
Thanks for watching! The main thing I know about food and drink is that I enjoy both! Lol. The Barbour coat I will definitely plan on reviewing at some point. However, currently I am about 10 pounds too heavy to wear it! So that will have to wait! How’s that for brutal honesty?!
@@bond00xl49 Thanks for creating! Whatever the next videos are, looking forward to them
@@bsmith1 seriously, thanks so much for your support!
Loved it! Great job!
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback very much!
Fantastic review! I adore this sweater and was so pleased to be able to get one. N Peal is an amazing brand, and you, good sir, are an amazing presenter! Thank you for your hard work.
Wow! Such kind words. Thank you, sincerely!
Terrific debut, sir. Nice to see a new face in the Bond content community. Loved your interview as well on Bond's Apartment. Keep up the great work, and yes, Omega review would be welcome!
Thank you! Really appreciate you checking us out and for your kind words.
Fantastic job, Will! A very well done first video and awesome backstory - I always love hearing about ones introduction to bond. Can’t wait for all your videos to come! And I must say, I love your watch - are you gonna do a video on your omega? My congratulations and best to you always.
Thank you for your kind words! This is all very new to me and has me outside of my comfort zone tbh. I’m SO HAPPY you mentioned the backstory because that means you watched the whole thing! I was afraid it was too long and nobody would bother watching the whole thing. So again, thank you!
And for the Omega…I definitely want to do that as well. I REALLY want to hear what you all want to see. I have hopes and plans for some Orlebar Brown garments closer to spring. Let me hear from you.
What a refreshing take/angle on the product. I really felt you connected well with what alot of people's trepidations are when "investing" in these products.
I'm in between mesomorph and endomorph body types (it's an old profile pic). And the review definitely touched on some of the difficulties I've had myself.
Keep doing what you're doing in your charasmatic style, and I look forward to more content. Which no doubt is on the horizon.
All the best.
Lee.
Lee, thanks so much for your kind words! I really hope that my putting myself out there can and will inspire people to cut themselves a bit of a break! Work on whatever they feel they need to work on, but LIVE and enjoy the lifestyle and who you are NOW as well. It is a struggle for us all at times I think!
@@bond00xl49thanks for the reponse, I appreciate your time.
Agreed. There definitely there needs to be of a "be kind to yourself movement", and listening to how these investment pieces made you feel at such a personal level, resonates alot with everyone within the bond community.
Hopefully with plenty more content on the way this will assist with people like myself being able to make more informed choices on purchasing and sizing. Because they can/do in my case affect how you feel. Confident, stylish, and ultimately "assist" the person to convey the best version of themselves.
All the best with the channel pal!
Subscribed! Well presented.
Thank you Mr. Gardiner! I really appreciate your kind word as well as your support!
You are the boss! finally someone normal to see how this will fit.
Thanks!
Great job Will! Editing and filming is great.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback, I really do.
Great video! Just subscribed!
Jorge, thank you for subscribing! I appreciate the support and hope you enjoyed the video!
A very nicely presented video
Thanks so much for your kind words and your support!
Great video 😊
Thanks so much for your support and for taking the time to not only view the video, but to also comment. Really appreciated.
Great presentation
Thanks! It was a lot of fun to do.
Nice work sir.
Thank you! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to watch and for reaching out to comment!
@@bond00xl49 You're most welcome.
Amazing video , your a real natural at this like you've been doing this for years subscribed immediately, can't wait to see the channel grow , bye the way David zarititsky is not real we've all made him and his adventures up he's like Tyler durden that's my theory ,think about it ,have you ever been in the same room as him ? ,See what I mean hahhaa ,have a great day .
Thanks Matthew! I really appreciate your support! I can honestly tell you that I don’t feel like a natural, so that is very kind of you to say.
I just found you! Great video! Where did you get the print that is directly behind you? I can’t find it anywhere.
Will I was thinking about getting one myself but I'm not sure what size to get. I'm 6ft 240lbd. I don't know if I should get xl or 2xl. I'm in the process of losing weight. What size do you think I should get? Great video
Thanks so much for watching and for your nice words! Welcome!
I’d probably start by trying the XL. Depending on the fit you like and how/where your weight is carried, that would be my recommendation. If you get it, I hope you’ll send me a picture on my IG: Bond00XL as well. Thanks again.
Me to bond fans from Malaysia 🥰
Welcome! Thank you for the support in your country! This is exciting!
@@bond00xl49 👌🏻☺️
Hello, great video.
What is your chest size - I assume 44, 45 inches (113-115 cm)?
At the time of that video my chest was 48” and probably actually closer to 49”
And thanks for watching and for your very nice comment. Thankfully more videos will be coming very soon. I hope you will consider subscribing and also following me on IG so you won’t miss any upcoming content. I have lots planned. Thanks again!
just wish NPEAL had got it right its not An Army sweater its a Royal Navy Sweater lol and you can get a real Naval sweater for about £30
