How to Dress like James Bond . Goldfinger episode.

[@leguan8269]

I love three piece suits so its nice to see him wear a few in this movie.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

And he has more coming up.

[@guangjoe]

Wonderful video, thank you sir. I just had the classic grey suit tailor made! Will be interesting to see how it comes out

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Fabulous. Enjoy it when it arrives.

[@cmg799]

Would love to see a watch episode…Bond alone gives plenty but from Bond to Succession to many others, a lot of material to work with. New subscriber here though!

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Definitely, it's on the cards. I love watches but I have to learn a little more before a review.

[@hanktorrance6855]

Fascinating discussion thank you

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Delighted you liked it.

[@chiapet9570]

He is so handsome in any angle. Sean is so charismatic . The way he walks as bond so majestic

[@richwood1522]

That's called the "Panther Walk", I read that in his biography, he learned it in his prior training, they loved it.

[@leguan8269]

Yes, Goldfinger's costumes are very interesting.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

I'd never wear them myself but it has to be said they are striking.

[@Melbournelost66]

More British, Australians, Canadians and New zealanders should aspire to be like Jimmy Bond! 👍🏻

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

And don't forget the Irish.

[@fids54]

I think the reason why the grey glen check suit stands out so distinctly is not so much the tailoring - all the suits were cut by the same tailor - but the fact that it is light grey. The details and contours are seen clearly, while those of the dark suits are not so visible because of the cinematic medium.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

That is a very good point. I use a book to get the details about each suit because it is quite difficult to see what some of the darker suits are made of.

[@richwood1522]

@@ForTheLoveOfSuits Is that suit considered 'shark skin'?

[@richwood1522]

I feel like I' m reading Ian Fleming, with your descriptions.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Oh. Thank you so much.

[@richwood1522]

@@ForTheLoveOfSuits You are most welcome. An interesting topic, you are using here, on KZbin.

[@newtduke420]

If they mounted it side ways or offset, would be minimal bulk

[@dakotarayprice]

I wear suit with pleated pants like 1960s Bond

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

An excellent choice and they are coming back into fashion this year big time.

[@RogerOThornhill]

Bond doesn't peel off a wet suit, he peels off a dry suit.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Thanks you. I was unaware such a thing existed. I've only ever worn wetsuits.

[@MeTreesndirt]

He wore it well.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

He sure did. But it helps to be 6 foot 2 and good looking.😀

[@waltersickinger263]

That is not a rose in the lapel of the dinner jacket.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Let's face it : when you are as good looking as Connery you can wear anything..!!

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

It does help.

[@DanielClementYoga]

I'm sorry, of course Bond is a classic, but the tailoring on these suits isn't great.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Thanks Daniel. A very interesting comment. Anything in particular that stands out as bad tailoring?

[@DanielClementYoga]

@@ForTheLoveOfSuits ...I'm surprised at the lack of pressing, particularly on the grey 3 piece suit. The fit, particularly in the upper arms of a couple of his suits isn't great. I think the quality is definitely there, Connery may not have the perfect figure to show off the suits and I know fit has changed over the years but still doesn't inspire.

[@RogerOThornhill]

I couldn't disagree more. The cut on these suits is amazing, a candidate for the best male wardrobe in movie history. And if 36 year old Connery doesn't "have the perfect figure" to show suits off, then no one does.

[@waltersickinger1499]

You have made several mistakes regarding the suit fabrics.

[@ForTheLoveOfSuits]

Not according to the author of the book Fashioning James Bond by Llewella Chapman which I use as a guide. But if there are mistake please feel free to point them out. I welcome the chance to learn as much as possible about fabrics.
