Yes! Completely agree.

The problem with the look in YOLT isnt the actual kimono but the yellowface

[@happyman050]

Although not one of the "official Bond Films" I must plump for Connery's dungarees from Never say never again

[@agent00asmr]

All of these were good picks for the worst of the best! I know why Dalton was wearing such baggy clothes, because we all were in the beginning of the 90's. The big baggy suits were the style. And I carried the baggy look for way too long!!! And they just made them that way too. I was a 34 waist at the time, and a 34 long was very long and created the baggy suit pant look. I have not shrunk in height, but now wear a 32 length and it is correct. But David would remember, that baggy look was the thing, Miami Vice suits!!!

[@NH1973]

In License to Kill, it kind of makes sense that Bond wouldn't be perfectly dressed. He was visiting Florida for Felix's wedding, and wasn't planning on staying there long. That morning suit he wore to the wedding would have been provided by Felix. And he didn't plan on resigning and going to Isthmus abruptly either. So everything he wore there will have been purchased at short notice and not bespoke.

[@Plally06]

41:09 I would ask for the double denim Texas tuxedo. Yup, I am down with bad boy! And underneath I’d wear a t-shirt with “Let’s Swing” on it 😅 - great video lads

Just add the pointy ears on Connery wearing that kimono and he could have played a Vulcan on Star Trek 🖖

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

I always defend Dalton in Licence to Kill and his dracula look. He looks just a bit evil which is great imo, almost like the old Bond comic strip. It's a weird thing but I like it. I haven't even watched the video yet but know you'll mention it here.

[@englishgiraffe2124]

I think the problem with Dalton replicating the Daily Express illustration is that the Fleming Bond took place in the 50s/60s where naturally, the hair would be more crop-cutted and thin. Dalton's hair in his duology is big, especially in TLD where it was the biggest amount of any Bond actor, either him or Brosnan. When he slicks the hair back, it ends up being distracting because the large hair doesn't feel like it should be styled like that. If Daniel Craig did the Fleming Bond look post-Quantum of Solace, I think he would have pulled it off nicely.

[@michaelpoplawski2998]

I read that that hairdo in LTK was meant as part of his cover in South America. A style on the continent. I will have to go back and see if really changes from the beginning of the movie. Just an idea.

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

Yes, you guys are far too brutal on Dalton and snobby. Dalton, the true Ian Fleming Bond, didn't need all the bespoke apparel. Dalton was rugged and sexy AF! His Bond required clothing that allowed him to work without splitting them to shreds. Dalton was so handsome in TLD & LTK and he makes people SWOON! 🇬🇧

[@bouya642]

@@tmmartinesq.6216 IMO all James Bond actors are handsome tbh but Dalton was exactly bond from the books

[@richardhoulton4016]

70s were the decade that taste forgot

[@b.chaline4394]

Connery: the "Palm Springs" suit and pink mini-tie (Diamonds are forever) Lazenby: the orange golf outfit Moore: the kaki jacket (A View to a Kill) Dalton: the Afghan tunique (The Living Daylights) Brosnan: the Royal Navy uniform (Tomorrow Never Dies) - the hat really doesn't suit him... Craig : the duster (No Time to Die)

[@TCFan25]

As for Brosnan and Moore, they didn't look bad. The Royal Navy uniform suit Brosnan very well, more so than it did for Connery. Whilst the Afghan tunic didn't look the best on Dalton, it was purely a situational choice so he didn't blow his cover. The orange golf outfit didn't look as bad as the kilt set though!

[@b.chaline4394]

@@TCFan25 yes, Brosnan doesn't look that bad in the Navy uniform, it's the hat that bothers me. Brosnan does not have a good head for hats, he looked equally weird to me in The Fourth Protocol :)

What about the terry blue onesie from Goldfinger!

[@johnfathers3142]

Yeah i was thinking that one right off the bat, what a shocker

[@degenerategambler4830]

This is a video about the worst outfits though..

[@johnmoore2910]

I will never be convinced that the clown outfit doesn’t actually work with building the tension. It’s a clown saying there’s a bomb in the canon. And nobody believes him. And it’s a moment that is directed very well.

[@davidsummer8631]

Roger Moore was the only man who made a safari suit look tasteful

[@Visqo1]

The Dalton wedding tuxedo was likely chosen by his friend Leiter. Since he is his best man, he would dress up in the clothes of the wedding back then.

[@EDC_Bond]

If we could combine Kyle’s looks with Calvin Dyson’s accent and heritage, we’d have a perfect next Bond!

[@thomasbrady8056]

For me, I really dislike the Massimo Alba Sloop Suit that Daniel Craig wore in NTTD and also the Massimo Duster. I thought they looked so wrong for him and they look heavy and uncomfortable, especially the duster! I love love love Sean Connery's casual attire in Thunderball when he wears the white trousers and striped white/blue shirt. Excellent and perfect for the setting. Also, another notable from Thunderball is when Bond is sneaking around Shrublands and he's wearing the classic blue polo shirt and brown trousers. Again - love the look and especially enjoyed it when Craig wore a very similar outfit in Casino Royale (even though the fit of his trousers was a crime against fashion).

[@b.chaline4394]

Totally agree regarding the NTTD duster. It's probably the boldest outfit Craig wore during his tenure but it doesn't suit him all that well.

[@garyniven946]

Absolutely agree - the Jeremy Corbyn suit was appalling. Once DC started to gain too much control the style went south, appalling fit since skyfall and some absolutely awful outfits - not befitting the character in any way - also Saville Rowe should be the go to for the bond films, I don’t buy the ‘we need multiples’ nonsense - as kingsman managed it, bond producers are all about the money they can get from the brands rather than the movies (in my humble opinion as a fan)

[@thomasbrady8056]

@@garyniven946 Exactly right! As soon as DC started having more of a say, the 'Bond style' got lost

[@zerominuseleven]

Almost 15 years since we’ve last seen Bond wear a decent fitting suit

[@johnscarsandstuff]

What, no mention of the blue romper suit from Goldfinger?

[@tylerjsmithers8385]

I think Craig's worst casual has to be those blue shorts and too short grey shirt (with holes) in NTTD when he's in retirement in Jamaica... Also most of Bond's suits in Skyfall and Spectre don't fit him properly and are too small... almost as bad as Dalton's baggy suits

[@DHTCF]

Good to hear someone calling out how grey doesn't work for Daniel Craig. Agree that the suit in the Skyfall PTS is too tight, but he looked much better in blue than grey. NTTD really didn't have a single look that made me think, "I want that!" Such a pity that the standards of QoS weren't kept up, although I did like a few looks in Spectre.

[@orangewetsuit]

Thank you all for keeping the BondFire burning bright!

[@CRITTERBUSTERS]

I Agree with Dalton’s Tux not being the best in LTK. Too baggy, and that slicked hair only worsens the look. I don’t know why they just didn’t get him a suit similar to The Living Daylights. I disagree with the black on blue look in terms of Dalton’s casual wear, I thought it was ok. I also liked his laid back look when he’s having coffee with Sanchez. But other than that yeah LTK isn’t the most stylish of the series. Connery’s Tux looked very Sloppy in Diamonds are Forever too. It didn’t that help he was clearly out of shape in that movie, as a result his suit never fit him properly. In fact I’d argue that Diamonds are forever has some of the worst fashion decisions as Licence to Kill.

[@jhunt5440]

[@shotgunnsean]

Shocked you guys didn't choose either the Matera corduroy suit or the Massimo Alba Duster Coat look from No Time to Die. Also surprised you didn't choose the George Lazenby tuxedo mainly because of the ruffles. May have looked good at the time, but surely no one would dare wear that now.

[@richardcard82]

I can't hate on the Matera suit since its the only bond suit I own. Its the most inexpensive suit there is.

[@bjonesehc]

I was thinking the slobbish duster too!

[@LifestyleShortz]

You should make a video about Pierce Brosnan's best outfits on Remington Steele. I know, it's not Bond, but it shows why he was chosen to play the role.

[@asacco2698]

LIke Roger Moore was chosen from his work on The Saint and The Persuaders! He was already echoing Bond ...

[@jerrymanas671]

What a fun video! I vote for "From a View to a Kyle" lol. One other piece of clothing I thought was a little odd was the ruffled dress shirt George Lazenby wears on the beach at the beginning of OHMSS. It looks good on him, but on its own, it's a little like the puffy shirt from Seinfeld.

[@MAXdori]

David I have to know - you mentioned Brosnan watches these videos. First that’s amazing ! Second how did you come to know this??

[@alexlamas6324]

Okay, good choices but both of you liked the big ruffles on Lazenby's tux or the GIANT bow tie and bellbottoms on Roger Moore's tux in TSWLM? No judgement, just asking.

[@paulandrew6457]

Agree with your selections and reasons but I kinda like the Brosnan POW outfit this could be the ultimate outfit for the frugal James Bond fan just out of lockdown. You need to go on a mission to Wal-Mart. I'd buy that one. 😂

[@unsolicited577]

Just a thought for conversation: would Lazenby have pulled off some of Connery’s DAF wardrobe had he retuned? I felt Lazenby and OHMSS made a great bridge from the 60s to the 70s. Connery looks out of step, from a sartorial standpoint in DAF.

[@greatwuta]

Yeap, that pink tie in Diamonds Are Forever. What were they thinking? That outfit sucks. Then again, that film sucks so that outfit and the pink tie only makes sense 🤢🤢🤢

[@tylerjsmithers8385]

Here are my worst picks: Sean Connery: Goldfinger terrycloth romper, DAF Palm Springs suit and black tuxedo George Lazenby: Bathrobe, yellow bullfight suit, Highland Dress Roger Moore: LALD powder blue leisure suit, TSWLM brown silk suit, AVTAK morning tuxedo Timothy Dalton: LTK oversized t-shirt and jeans (framing Krest), charcoal suit in Key West, Wedding tuxedo Pierce Brosnan: TND Vietnam blue shirt, TWINE cream suit (last favorite), DAD tuxedo (spare any ice?) Daniel Craig: NTTD Retirement jacket, Skyfall Istanbul Shrink Wrap suit, NTTD plain tuxedo

The worst Daniel Craig casual outfit has to be his outfit when he’s trying to save Vesper. First, he’s wearing a polo shirt over a crew neck tshirt. Second, he’s wearing Nikes that have no business being worn casually. The whole outfit makes him look more like a middle class American dad than a retired gentleman spy. I’d take the Matera outfit over that every single time

[@sporkfindus4777]

I loved that Moonraker suit when he's in the glass factory and museum. It's interesting to note that Timothy Dalton in interviews, retrospectives, rare private life photos, is quite a shabby dresser. He seemingly takes no pride in his appearance whatsoever. Yet ... I really like him for that. He'd have needed to be comfortable when giving Mel Gibson a beating for his treatment of Dalton's family. Unless I'm mistaken, three of the films did not feature Bond in a tuxedo: From Russia with Love (if we regard Sean Connery in the opening scene as playing a someone wearing a Sean Connery mask pretending to be Bond), You Only Live Twice and Live and Let Die. This suggests to me that the next films should try to break from "tradition" or clichés a little. For example Bond doesn't need to wear a tux in every film, he doesn't need to drive an Aston or drink vodka martini or say "Bond, James Bond". The Roger Moore films are fantastic in that regard: bourbon, cigars, safari suits, Lotuses, revolver. I'd be more inclined to chat to that guy. Tbh, if I met someone wearing a tuxedo, drinking 🍸 who drives an Aston Martin and introduces himself in that way, then I'd probably brand him a prize wanker and steer clear!

Great entertaining episode. Quick question if I may: Is the film Argylle actually the next Bond movie?? A production shrouded in secrecy. The director (Matthew Vaughn) has stated he selected Henry Cavill before he was grabbed for Bond. It’s based on a novel that hasn’t even been published. The music is by Dua Lipa. Even the tease trailer seems very strange, almost hammy and has the cryptic line “The greater the spy, the greater the lie”. Check out the Wiki page, everything seems off. Perhaps this is a cool publicity stunt, Roger Moore stated James Bond was the best know spy in the world, imagine if they have managed to film the next film right under our noises with the public even being aware. How cool would that be!
