007 Style Choices for Island Destinations | Bond & Fleming Style in Jamaica

Just like Bond, when vacationing in warm tropical environments one must dress well but also dress practically. Understanding the environment as well as the action one might encounter is paramount to what to wear. In this video I discuss my choices of clothing, brand, and style and why the connection to 007 and Fleming make them the perfect kit for an island adventure!

When David is not running an advertising and marketing company, his hobby is The Bond Experience which is primarily a video blog where he discusses Bond experiences and the people and brands that help to create those experiences...
The mantra of living like Bond, one moment at a time emanates from a concept of experiencing the joy of collecting small moments in life that add up to amazing journeys and stories....whether it's through style, locations, literature, fitness, and the movies themselves the world of Bond is explored through its people and their stories.
Ultimately though, The Bond Experience channel is a celebration of the James Bond franchise and the many people that form a true community. Our core mission is to create a strong connection in the Bond community amongst all the fans, regardless of interest or demographic.

A lot of my daily wardrobe is Orlebar Brown; from the Shirts, to the Polos, they all have such flattering and clean silhouettes, and a lot of it is pretty rugged - I have a pair of Navy Setter swim shorts that are 10 years old, have been to several Spartan Races, and they still look almost brand new. I adore the brand.

ALL Fantastic & Fabulous beach fashion picks! -Thanks for showing these V Cool styles.

That Sunspel capri top is really elegant. It screams “date night, tablecloth dining, by the beach!”

[@jsadowski5]

Loved this!

[@simonrees4420]

Felt a little like an OB advertisement 😂 but thanks for sharing your tips. I haven't got any OB clothing yet, although I think the style cues work across brands... great for a Bond fan that was once in the temperate climates of the UK and NYC but now living in South FL. Cheers.

I love how everything/all things Bond obsessed you are. Truly, I love it.

[@yestoadventure007]

Awesome! Videos like this is why I started watching you.

[@TheBondExperience]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jeromef.5489]

The 60th anniversary Bond Omega would have paid nicely with all outfits 😊

[@th7297]

Dear David, I do not travel in shorts and I never go to a restaurant in shorts. You are not alone. 😂

[@jasonwebster9300]

I have a few Orlebar Brown polos. However, when travelling I only take one Orlebar Brown polo. I take a couple of Dickie polos in ivory and navy from Australian brand MJ Bale. They very similar to the Orlebar Brown Felix polos in fit and feel and cost AUD$129.95, which is USD$89.32. Orlebar Brown and MJ Bale are my “go to brands” for clothes when on holiday. I recommend both Orlebar Brown and MJ Bale for casual/resort wear attire to my family and friends. If anyone is wondering, MJ Bale does ship to the USA, Asia and Europe.

Excellent video, David. Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

[@michaelpoplawski2998]

This is superb style advice for travel in these tropical island climates. I bet with mix and matching you could probably have about 20 outfits. I remember when you said don't pack too much for the trip. The lightest packing for travel I ever did. You really used every inch of your luggage efficiently. I bet you could have comfortably stayed a month without repeating an outfit.

[@TheBondExperience]

Absolutely!

[@A06497]

Thank you! We are headed to GoldenEye in September and your advice has been really useful. Only wishing that I had picked up a straw trilby @ Lock Hatters when I was there two weeks ago.

[@christopherbaez7282]

I love Orlebar B, i work with GQ and last year we did an editorial for his 007 collection. If there’s a brand thats speaks bond is OB. New sub, loving the channel!💯

[@thepa1]

Love that Dr. No shirt. Is that an OB too?

[@richardhoulton4016]

I love OB. I have loads of it. Cotton, linen and towelling Ts. Shorts, pants, swimwear. They make the best cut t-shirts ever. My only issue is how quickly the cotton ones develop waistband level pinholes (and I never wear belts with them ever for that reason). Also, I’m 40” chest 30” waist and I’m a small in all of their stuff.

[@TheBondExperience]

Sounds like your closet has its own OB real estate!

[@richardhoulton4016]

@@TheBondExperience Yeah…kinda! But I live in Brisbane Australia which is a Florida like climate.

[@brianjetton3962]

Thanks for bringing this content, Dave. I enjoy trying to emulate the Bond style. One man's opinion; shorts should be exclusively used in water or sporting situations. By the pool, on the ocean, etc. I live in California, so seeing all of the grown ass men dressing like 12 year olds in their sneakers, printed T's, and court shorts makes me lose faith in humanity. 🤣

[@succulentcranberry]

I don't even know where to buy these clothes lol. Love that yellow DR NO shirt

[@Fliseck]

“These pants get a lot of action…” - not something you hear every day!

Hi David. How are you enjoying Goldeneye? Have you made some new friends there? Did you find any Bond treasures yet? What have you been eating lately? Let me know how things are out there. Thanks!

[@TheBondExperience]

It was a blast!

[@EDC_Bond]

Who made the hat you took down there?

[@YOLOMarkus]

I have just seen Mission Impossible 7, and event though i am a Bond fan, this franchise is so much better than 007. This film was never boring, the action was superb, the storyline was more complex than in Bond, the actors and characters were not so woke as in NTTD, sound was good, many twists.

Hope London trip went well

Twas a lot of fun!
