Sixty years ago, when I was a very young Bank Officer in Bendigo, Victoria, I had to carry a .442 RIC Webley, tucked into the waist of my suit, when the Bank Manager and I had to carry large sums of money around the famously wealthy gold mining town. Custer famously had two of them. Your question brought back some fond memories. I also had to keep that gun at close reach under the counter in the Bank, because I used to buy gold from the miners. If you Google the Shamrock Hotel in Bendigo you will see a fabulous old hotel across the road from the ANZ Bank. Happy memories .
Hi Antonio great video, my only problem is that you compare a character in several movies and a character in just two movies. As you said he’s been in a lot of movies, and you showed examples from several films compared to just two. Imho, I would have selected just two of the Bond films to go up against the two Kingsman films
Kingsman is my pick... bcoz they really make something out of ordinary... even not the gadgets included... they owned it and leveled it up... I never enjoyed something that is flamboyant and fashionably fun at the same time...
I think it's very difficult to choose between the two since James Bond's style is really meant to be as inconspicuous as possible while being timeless and elegant, while I feel Kingsman was a lot more flamboyant with their styling. I like the fact that Kingsman had double breasted suits (those are my favourite) but I still give it to James Bond. The simplicity speaks volumes.
James Bond takes it for me. He is really meant to blend into the crowd, yet he favors materials like Sea Island Cotton, the epitome of style understated but timeless and elegant
A correction, the Duke of Windsor became King Edward viii. His father, Edward vii was responsible for initiating the fashion of leaving the bottom button on a waistcoat undone. Both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Windsor influenced the dress style of Bond's creator, Ian Fleming. Phillip J.
The other way around. Edwart VIII became Duke of Windsor after abdicating, was Prince of Wales before taking the throne, was the grandchild of Edward VII and son of George V.
Thx for a cool Video. I agree with your general points, but the lapels, the fit and drape of the suits in KM are next level. With JB, I often see collar gaps and poorly tailored jackets, and I just do not see how those suits come close to (supposedly) handmade suits by a top Savile Row tailoring house. Anyway, thumbs up on all the other points 👍
It depends on the movie plot. While Bond comes from a noble background, Egsy is from a low-class working family. The movie shows how his looks and confidence changed when he became a Kingsman.
Kingsman is what got me into double-breasted suits and bespoke tailoring. I also really love the original Lancelot's single-breasted suit with a double-breasted waistcoat at the beginning of the first film. For Bond the classic Conduit Cut that Sean Connery wore is my favorite.
Okay, upon closer inspection Lancelot has a single-breasted waistcoat but my point still stands. I like that look and it is different from all the other Kingsman agents who have different variations on double-breasted suits.
I noticed that you didnt mention several of the items in Kingsman that you praised James Bond for. The Car/english cabs has weapons, hidden firearms, a drift mode, submarine mode, self driving, remote control and probably more. The ring is also a tazer. The watch launches amnesia, taser and probably sleeping darts, built in flash bomb, tracker and was used to hack and remotely control robotics. The glasses doubles as cameras, scanners, information display and I’m assuming communications device. Top hats: had surveillance and listening equipment. The suitcase could also be folded out into a bulletproof shield Perfume/deodorant: Freeze spray, timed napalm like explosive Fountain pen: Contains an odorless, tasteless poison that is harmless until remotely triggered by said pen. The suits are custom made and bulletproof (I don’t know if the James Bond suits are bulletproof) Not to mention that they have a multitude of different vehicles that all probably has an autopilot, remote control options, hidden weapons and perhaps different modes like the cab.
I think James Bond takes this one. RMRS, you're doing good work. The trip back to the 60s, 70s to emphasis on the accessories is a good trait on the attention to detail.
This was a really interesting comparison. I've always thought DC's bond has the nicest casual looks. I didn't know Tom Ford was behind it. Good to know.
I'd have to give it to Bond - every time I see a Craig Bond film, it makes me want to go workout and up my style. His style is very masculine and tangible. Kingsman is great, but at times, it seems too extravagant for most people to pull off.
Of course, James Bond wins it. Btw, the best Bond look was Sean Connery in Goldfinger, when he changes in Goldfinger's plane and is wearing that awesome 3-pc gray suit.
Antonio, I am italian but I love the good British suits as the Italian ones! And well, Kingsmen and Bond's style are amazing, I pick up both!! Greetings from Germany!
Point of contention for the casual look, Eggsy goes through 2 phases during the Kingsman films, starting pommy and then becoming a gentleman. This is why his casual wear is more street and sporty. We've never seen a pommy James Bond so a comparison between what a gentleman Eggsy wears casually would be interesting
It's kingsmen for me. Classic all the way. Also a big thank you Antonio for the amazing information you provide in your videos. They and you have helped me greatly.
The large Windsor knot sported by the Kingsman characters is more fitting for a used car or real estate salesman than a proper English gentleman...especially with a DB suit.
Or perhaps it's there because it's named after the fantastically stylish, King Edward vii, who was the Duke of Windsor. He also popularised plaid suits. Phil
I'm a James Bond kinda girl myself. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamt of being his sidekick/girlfriend. So I choose him. lol Plus, I love his theme music. Can't get more stylish than that.
If we're honest kingsman suits (As good as they look) were inspired Bond Suits. Harry's Grey double breasted Jacket was right out of The Man with the Golden Gun and The Navy stripe from skyfall and On her Majestys secret service.
No contest here. Kings men’s classical return to English style is decent but no way equal to Bond’s long-standing looks. A rendition no one actor can harm, only add to.
For me, I’m a James Bond fan, been watching it sense I was a little kid, from the suits to the cars to the weapons to the Accessories & not to mention the beautiful women in the James Bond Franchises.....winner Bond.....James Bond, all though I do like the Kingsmen and John Wick movies, James Bond has been around a lot longer.
Bond is more stylish. No question here. Kingsman suits are basically uniforms. Bond has the chance to express individuality and switch his attire in a very dynamic manner. His watch, his main gadget - or at least something he can carry on his hands or pockets (ring, phone, glasses, concealed weapons) - is always with him, regardless of which suit he's wearing.
OH. So you ARE some kind of god. Now I must watch all those Bond movies and start watching some Kingsman and I will only be focusing on the suits!!! Thanks for this awesome video and I look forward to every one for the next four years.
Hello my name is Sean and currently in 7th grade and you’ve really helped me feel more confident thank you ! Also the way I style my hair is by combing all my hair straight with a part and then silck back my fringe to the side of my head
Love the content, you are very confident and enthusiastic. There is however, such thing as to much eye (camera) contact. You might want to consider a more relaxed gaze so as not to be so unnerving(:
I’d have to go with a tie break also, it’s too close to call, Kingsman with their classic English elegance V’s Bond and his modern sharp sleekness, they both show that there’s being in fashion....then there’s having style!
People saying Daniel Craig’s suits were 2 sizes too small obviously don’t know how a suit should fit. There’s nothing cringier than seeing someone wear an expensive suit that’s 2 sizes too big. Especially when you find out they spent 25-50k on that suit.
This comparison was amazing and I agree with everything but I will give to Bond the last point because he has confidence and wear it in a classy manly manner!
I’d give it to james bond, Style its not all about what you wear. Its about how you wear , how you fit your attitude to each of your clothes. Bond just have the Elegance, he’s Sharp, Focus and Calm which makes him outstanding. You can also see how he handles every situation he makes his clothes be him and he doesnt make the clothes define me, he defines himself
Even though I am a big Bond fan, when I compare the Tom Ford suits, with the Huntsman suits from Kingsman, Tom Ford has no chance. The fit is terrible, way too tight. Brioni on the other hand, did an amazing job with Pierce Brosnan and Craig in Casino Royal.
Hey! I have a question that I really haven't been able to find an answer to. As you've stated in previous videos, a silk tie is the best quality tie. So I noticed something really interesting about a retailer where it says "Outermaterial: 100% Silk" and "Lining: 100% Polyester". I've also noticed that polyester is a cheap material, so when examining this tie in particular with these specifications. Is this a good quality tie or should I find something else? Thanks in advance.

In my opinion is Kingsman 🙏
Bond - Hands down!
Hi Antonio great video, my only problem is that you compare a character in several movies and a character in just two movies. As you said he’s been in a lot of movies, and you showed examples from several films compared to just two. Imho, I would have selected just two of the Bond films to go up against the two Kingsman films
Kingsman: briefcase rocket launcher + sheild
James bond: 200 hundred accessories
John wick: pencil just a pencil.
Really? John Wick was a bloodbath. Jason Borne improvised more.
@@jjryan1352 the Charisma of Bond, class of a Kingsman, fight as John Wick and the intelligence of Jason Bourne: perfect man!
John wick made the “ the pen is mightier than the sword” a whole new meaning.
And the amount of Aston Martins
Heath Ledger: now I’m gonna make this pencil....disappear!
I’m giving it to Kingsman, the fact that it can even go head to head with bond and it’s history after only two films gives it the edge for me.
And there will be more movies in the future.
I loved how you started this video just going to the point without boring introductions.
Not to dismiss any of your points but, the most outstanding accessory that Bond has is confidence.
This is true, accurately true, amazingly true.
Bond confidence + Kingsman clothing style = Ultimate formal man
Kingsman had the same accessory as well. But that confidence was more focused on intelligence, wit and combat. Instead of women.
The “shoe knife” appeared in From Russia with Love 1963, used by Spectre.
Kingsman is my pick... bcoz they really make something out of ordinary... even not the gadgets included... they owned it and leveled it up... I never enjoyed something that is flamboyant and fashionably fun at the same time...
I think it's very difficult to choose between the two since James Bond's style is really meant to be as inconspicuous as possible while being timeless and elegant, while I feel Kingsman was a lot more flamboyant with their styling. I like the fact that Kingsman had double breasted suits (those are my favourite) but I still give it to James Bond. The simplicity speaks volumes.
Wait, why are the female designers being referred to as "he"?
They aren't really girly names, so probably didn't realise they were female until he was grabbing photos while editing
grow up man, xd
I was wondering the same thing. But yeah probably didn't know until it was time to edit.
I loved Kingsman because of how they play with classic and modern. James Bond is nice, but not daring. Gotta make Kingsman win.
I'd go for Kingsman. Eggsy's orange tuxedo fits him very well. Very stylish.
James Bond takes it for me. He is really meant to blend into the crowd, yet he favors materials like Sea Island Cotton, the epitome of style understated but timeless and elegant
At the end of the day, they are all British. The Brits are just the inventors of style and class, so i chose both :)
Hey! Don't forget us! 🇮🇹 (Yes, I know, the Corona isn't stylish 🤣). But it's true: British invented the class...
@@corneliusscipio777 lol don't worry Italy will pull through. Stay strong!
I would say the Egyptians had a several thousand years jump on the British in the style and elegance department...
@@huberfloover ????
@Cornelius Scipio Egypt...you know, pyramids, pharohs, Sphinxes...it's called history. Look into it
I'm going with Bond. I'd give him the mid based on his look from the funeral scene in Spectre. Check it out.
Great video with very nice production value
"I absolutely love... what [the Kingsman] do with Swedish princesses"
Hahaha amazing Antonio!
A correction, the Duke of Windsor became King Edward viii. His father, Edward vii was responsible for initiating the fashion of leaving the bottom button on a waistcoat undone. Both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Windsor influenced the dress style of Bond's creator, Ian Fleming. Phillip J.
The other way around. Edwart VIII became Duke of Windsor after abdicating, was Prince of Wales before taking the throne, was the grandchild of Edward VII and son of George V.
Thx for a cool Video. I agree with your general points, but the lapels, the fit and drape of the suits in KM are next level. With JB, I often see collar gaps and poorly tailored jackets, and I just do not see how those suits come close to (supposedly) handmade suits by a top Savile Row tailoring house. Anyway, thumbs up on all the other points 👍
Props, this is SOOOOO tough lol. Both are suave as hell lol
It depends on the movie plot. While Bond comes from a noble background, Egsy is from a low-class working family. The movie shows how his looks and confidence changed when he became a Kingsman.
I can’t let slide that line at the end. What they do with Swedish princesses. Lol amazing
James Bond all day long!
One other character you should keep in mind when talking about fashion: JOHN STEED of The Avengers
Im giving it to kingsman! They are so much more english gentlemen in both manners and in clothing and behaviour
Kingsman is what got me into double-breasted suits and bespoke tailoring. I also really love the original Lancelot's single-breasted suit with a double-breasted waistcoat at the beginning of the first film. For Bond the classic Conduit Cut that Sean Connery wore is my favorite.
Okay, upon closer inspection Lancelot has a single-breasted waistcoat but my point still stands. I like that look and it is different from all the other Kingsman agents who have different variations on double-breasted suits.
I really appreciate your time and effort in the video making nice video stay bless 🙏👏
Thanks Gideon. Appreciate you watching this. Which side are you on?
I go with Kingsmen for sure in this concern.
RMRS always with beste video Ideas. 👌🏿
Also, make sure to make a video on the suits "in no time to die when it comes out
You mention Bond's polo shirt - that is a Sunspel Riviera polo. I have a couple and I love them, and I've never even seen Craig's 'Casino Royale'.
I noticed that you didnt mention several of the items in Kingsman that you praised James Bond for.
The Car/english cabs has weapons, hidden firearms, a drift mode, submarine mode, self driving, remote control and probably more.
The ring is also a tazer. The watch launches amnesia, taser and probably sleeping darts, built in flash bomb, tracker and was used to hack and remotely control robotics.
The glasses doubles as cameras, scanners, information display and I’m assuming communications device.
Top hats: had surveillance and listening equipment.
The suitcase could also be folded out into a bulletproof shield
Perfume/deodorant: Freeze spray, timed napalm like explosive
Fountain pen: Contains an odorless, tasteless poison that is harmless until remotely triggered by said pen.
The suits are custom made and bulletproof (I don’t know if the James Bond suits are bulletproof)
Not to mention that they have a multitude of different vehicles that all probably has an autopilot, remote control options, hidden weapons and perhaps different modes like the cab.
I think James Bond takes this one. RMRS, you're doing good work. The trip back to the 60s, 70s to emphasis on the accessories is a good trait on the attention to detail.
Kingsman: Hidden spyware weapons
007: Weapons, cars, watches etc.
JOHN WICK: just a Pencil, a Pencil
BULLSEYE: darts, knives, pens, pencils, cards, paper clips, syringes, toothpicks, glass shards, plates, and a f__king peanut
Great versus video. Even though Austin Powers was the more fashionable spy.
This was a amazing comparison.
I agree with everything except that I personally like Bond's sport wear better than the king's men. So I vote Bond in the tie breaker. Great vid!
The ultimate style-off!
This was a really interesting comparison. I've always thought DC's bond has the nicest casual looks. I didn't know Tom Ford was behind it. Good to know.
lol I love the beginning " lets talk about accessories, first we have a machine gun"
I'd have to give it to Bond - every time I see a Craig Bond film, it makes me want to go workout and up my style. His style is very masculine and tangible. Kingsman is great, but at times, it seems too extravagant for most people to pull off.
Of course, James Bond wins it.
Btw, the best Bond look was Sean Connery in Goldfinger, when he changes in Goldfinger's plane and is wearing that awesome 3-pc gray suit.

We've never seen a pommy James Bond so a comparison between what a gentleman Eggsy wears casually would be interesting
It's kingsmen for me. Classic all the way. Also a big thank you Antonio for the amazing information you provide in your videos. They and you have helped me greatly.
I have to say for casual style with layering and texture the win goes to 007, James Bond.
For me, Kingsman, by far.
You could use wrist watches as a tie breaker. But I gotta go with Bond.
James bond 25 movies vs kingsman 2 movies ! Unfair !!
The large Windsor knot sported by the Kingsman characters is more fitting for a used car or real estate salesman than a proper English gentleman...especially with a DB suit.
Or perhaps it's there because it's named after the fantastically stylish, King Edward vii, who was the Duke of Windsor. He also popularised plaid suits. Phil
I'm a James Bond kinda girl myself. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamt of being his sidekick/girlfriend. So I choose him. lol
Plus, I love his theme music. Can't get more stylish than that.
Check out "for your eyes only submarine soundtrack", one of the best.
Kingsman is more stylish than james bond
Love this videos. Outstanding work.
Thanks man. Had fun filming this video.
If we're honest kingsman suits (As good as they look) were inspired Bond Suits. Harry's Grey double breasted Jacket was right out of The Man with the Golden Gun and The Navy stripe from skyfall and On her Majestys secret service.
Great video! I love both franchise, but I vote 007. Much more history to play with and he’s always set the standard for what’s cool in men’s fashion
My tie breaker would go to Bond.
100% kingsman
No contest here. Kings men’s classical return to English style is decent but no way equal to Bond’s long-standing looks. A rendition no one actor can harm, only add to.
Good information 😊
Oxfords not brogues.
I think we have a winner.
You're a genius Antonio....leaving tie breaker to viewers
Mate, Bond wins big time, if you want to go for the whole series
Oh god, finally you drop another versus video.
For me, I’m a James Bond fan, been watching it sense I was a little kid, from the suits to the cars to the weapons to the Accessories & not to mention the beautiful women in the James Bond Franchises.....winner Bond.....James Bond, all though I do like the Kingsmen and John Wick movies, James Bond has been around a lot longer.

Bond has the chance to express individuality and switch his attire in a very dynamic manner.
His watch, his main gadget - or at least something he can carry on his hands or pockets (ring, phone, glasses, concealed weapons) - is always with him, regardless of which suit he's wearing.
John Steed from the original AVENGERS!
Bond is an all time icon. No one beats him no matter what era it took place.
OH. So you ARE some kind of god. Now I must watch all those Bond movies and start watching some Kingsman and I will only be focusing on the suits!!! Thanks for this awesome video and I look forward to every one for the next four years.
You should make more videos about John Wick's style vs other movie style playboys!
Did you watch that one? John Wick vs James Bond?
@@RealMenRealStyle yeah, I did, but just more comparisons, just an opinion, thanks again!
Mr. Bond!
Johnny English is way better.
😆
i can't choose,i love both
Hello my name is Sean and currently in 7th grade and you’ve really helped me feel more confident thank you !
Also the way I style my hair is by combing all my hair straight with a part and then silck back my fringe to the side of my head
Matt Helm!!!!
Love the content, you are very confident and enthusiastic. There is however, such thing as to much eye (camera) contact. You might want to consider a more relaxed gaze so as not to be so unnerving(:
not the comparison we need
the comparison we deserve
I like the topic, great video.
Love your channel 😍
Kingsman, as I love their sunglasses. James Bond comes very close tho, his casual wear is good enough for two points even.
Chup re gadhe
Do Caffery and Specter next!
Bond.
This year Im going more retro and looking at Miami Vice style....which fits my wallet more than either Bond or Kingsman. lol
I’m a bigger 007 fan but I think the kingsman won
No man can look better than Daniel Craig or James Bond in this world. Don’t compare. No Kingsman , no no ! Are you kidding me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Style is more intrinsic to "Kingsman."
Great video, as always 💪
Ethan Hunt vs Jason Bourne!
I’d have to go with a tie break also, it’s too close to call, Kingsman with their classic English elegance V’s Bond and his modern sharp sleekness, they both show that there’s being in fashion....then there’s having style!
This video is something which I'm looking forward to!
Classic double brest wins hands down. It's such a shame you don't see them really in Australia
People saying Daniel Craig’s suits were 2 sizes too small obviously don’t know how a suit should fit. There’s nothing cringier than seeing someone wear an expensive suit that’s 2 sizes too big. Especially when you find out they spent 25-50k on that suit.
Bond every time
I like #kingsman style.
kindsman suite are from huntsman litterly the shop in the film
This comparison was amazing and I agree with everything but I will give to Bond the last point because he has confidence and wear it in a classy manly manner!
Bond is still GOAT
I’d give it to james bond, Style its not all about what you wear. Its about how you wear , how you fit your attitude to each of your clothes.

With just 2 movies they tied with JB. I will give this to Kingsmen
How could you not mention the midnight blue tuxedo by Tom Ford in Skyfall, that was iconic looking.
Great content! IMO both James Bond and Kingman are both a win. However, Bond get more female action.
Hey! I have a question that I really haven't been able to find an answer to. As you've stated in previous videos, a silk tie is the best quality tie.

I prefer the style in Kingsman. But Bond is definitely more stylish because he wears his clothes, his clothes don't wear him.
Great video, both Kingsmen & James Bond have great styles, but the winner is James Bond!
