Royale Film Wear are doing a tremendous job. As too are the frugal sites. Absolutely agree with the thinking that being a Bond fan shouldn't be something anyone can't participate in at any level...whether it be clothing, merch, or events because its beyond their financial means. This is Excellent ,much needed & reassuring video. Sincere Thanks David 🙏

I go to Goodwill on $1 Thursdays and look for my Bond look. I have gotten sport jackets, pants, plenty of polo shirts and sweaters, ties. All creating the Bond look. I have even found some nice, like new, Chucka boots. I love getting the look for a very low price. I can't afford the name brands, but the look can be replicated non the less. I had someone comment one day that I obviously had a good job to dress so well. But it was all Goodwill items. Just shows the Bond style itself looks high end!!

I think it's cool that both you and they are doing this. In all honesty, I am not a super big James Bond fan but do think there were some incredible style moments in the movies over the years. I think people should be dressing better generally and, not everyone can afford it, but if James Bond causes people to dress better, I am all for it.

For those who cannot or do not want to invest a few grand into a watch, some Bond watches like the NTTD are available from Pagani at a fraction of the price. Of course (I own a few real Omegas) the quality etc. is not the same. But most people will not notice and of course,you can have some fun without spending too much money here. I am not connected to Pagani and I do not own one, but I saw these on KZbin and Amazon. Best, Tim

Great video as always. For me personally, I never want to be recognized out with wearing "Bond", it's a personal/incognito thing that I appreciate. Only my wife will ask "is that a Bond shirt, is that a Bond tie" but she knows, she gets it. I recently had a black two-button suit made in which I designed to include many different elements of Bond suits that I liked, I even threw in the peak lapels from the white Goldfinger dinner jacket as a nod. So for our 12th anniversary I donned the suit with the waffle pattern Turnbull & Asser shirt & black tie with the white Albert Thurston braces and it felt great! However, I think I would die of embarrassment if someone came up and said "is that the Casino Royale tux shirt?" I don't want this to be a cosplay thing, ever. For me it's a reinvention of style that I want to adopt from Bond, not "Be" James Bond.

Thats a nice outfit! I too have tried to emulate what Bond wears. I love Daniel Craig's Bond outfits. I have noticed in Marks and Spencer they were selling an identical jacket to the one he wore in Spectre when he went to the clinic to visit Madeleine. All these nice suits and clothes Bond wears, you got to ask how much he gets paid as a British Secret Agent.

Even in suiting I've found that a similar looking suit can look the part. I just a couple of days ago got a good deal on a barely used Henry Bucks suit in a grey glen check which looks almost exactly like the grey glen check from NTTD, paired with a blue tie with a tie bar and it feels every last bit like the Tom Ford (except mine isn't skin tight). Same with my grey sharkskin suit that I bought because I loved the look of the suit in the opening of Skyfall, I wear that (often, it's my favourite suit) and I feel like Bond in Turkey every time.

For me the Royal Filmwear does the best job of any of the film replica clothing. Daniel Love is meticulous because as a fan he wants to get it absolutely right! I LOVE his Harrington jacket from QoS. Plus, at hundreds of dollars, not thousands, I don't have to be so precious with the garments because I can be a bit rough on my stuff. The term "this is why we can't have nice things" was invented by my mom.

It's all personal preference and it's not hurting me (much). But the NATO on the Omega would look so much neater if the strap was worn over and under, so all the excess strap is kept with the buckle. Instead of a half inch from the 12 O'clock position. It's also more fitting to the Bond theme, it's how Connery wore his NATO in Goldfinger. Which is incidentally my daily Bond moment. My Goldfinger NATO on a Steinhart retro Rolex homage.. Sadly I will never be able to afford the $500k watch its paying homage to but it makes me smile that it's only a very personal thing. That said. I can't find any screenshots of how Daniel Craig as Bond wears his NATO strap.. I'm sure there is a forum for how Craig wears his straps..

I found a polo t shirt like Bond from Casino Royale in H&M identical and like his, it has no buttons. Most people are not very observant and if they try to copy his outfits they get it wrong all the time. For example I was once at a Murder Mystery evening in a swanky Hotel and the theme was Bond. Most guys wore Tuxedos but a lot of them wore ordinary white shirts like they might wear in the office and the collars were up as if they were waiters or at an Oxford University Ball. They simply had no idea! But I wanted to be original and authentic so what did I do? I rented a Navy Uniform as James Bond is a Commander in the Navy. Haha I was the only one who turned up in a full Navy Uniform.
