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.

Thank you for making this. As a “younger” Bond fan (20s), it’s nice to have some guidance for us folks who are a biiiit short on spending money 😂

More to come....!

​@@TheBondExperienceyou're right abou the price of Armani jacket but I would add that the costume designer asked Armani to build 25 jacket so they agreed but surprisingly Armani gave them for 400 Euros per piece even Daniel crathad one for his personal use as he donated it in 2006 to a auction which was for children charity fundraising.

[@sistraininggear1053]

Thanks so much for showcasing our Skyfall Tracksuit! Glad you like it - it was a labour of love making it.

[@TheBondExperience]

It shows!

[@Visqo1]

The Frugal Bond is one of my favorite parts of this channel

[@dtuk22]

Frugal Bond items....have a value greater than you'd expect. Because there's Something for everyone's budget🍸

[@TheBondExperience]

Exactly!

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

A good frugal Bond watch is the Invicta 8926OB. It is a Rolex Submariner homage, and can usually be had for well under $100, so it is within reach for almost everyone. I'm lucky enough to own a real Submariner, but Rolex prices have skyrocketed lately, so my Sub only comes out on special occasions now. The Invicta is a really good 'stunt double' for everyday wear.

[@TheBondExperience]

My father-in-law loves his!

[@infamousrx8960]

Thats a great watch had one for 4 years before i smacked it at the wrong angle and popped off the bezzel. I know im a dummy. But I liked that one so much I got the Invicta pro diver 1953. I wear it on a vintage bond nato strap

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

@@infamousrx8960 I like mine so much that I actually just bought another one today. It's Prime Day on Amazon, and they are going for $48 with free one-day shipping. I sometimes like to wear mine on a strap, and it's a pain to get the bracelet off, so I just bought this other one for wearing with straps. I have had my eye on that 1953 one, but I don't like the fact that it doesn't have Mercedes hands. I'm thinking of going with the Tiger Concept 6538 homage instead.

[@Juupke]

Yes finally another one! I love these itterations!

[@TheBondExperience]

They are a blast for me to do as well!

[@Aceimus1066]

Perfect video for my family to watch with my birthday coming up in a couple of weeks! Cheers DZ

[@TheBondExperience]

Ah yes...lots of great gift ideas!

[@yestoadventure007]

This is almost a Royal Filmwear commercial, he must be loving you right now. I own 3 items from Daniel Love myself and I have to say Royal Filmwear hits out of the park all the time, also the quality is exceptional! .

[@ws7609]

I guessed the pea coat might had been number one... Great list David!

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you!

[@petergilbert8286]

Great video as always, since discovering your channel, my frugal and original piece wardrobe has grown and grown (great hobby to have), with a pair of Crockett and Jones Skyfall Islays being the latest edition 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TimmyTims98]

I have multiple pieces from both Magnoli and Royale Filmwear and I love both. They do a great job on all their products.

[@that_child2292]

I like this. It’s like when you said “it doesn’t matter always matter about the locations or the gadgets, sometimes the experience comes from drinking your coffee in the morning like Bond does”. I’m paraphrasing because I can’t remember it properly, but it’s something along those lines. You can appreciate a character without spending too much money

[@agent00asmr]

Always a fan of frugal. I saw someone else comment about their Carhartt blue hat from NTTD. I found that at Goodwill for $2 , and wear it occasionally. I love the choices here, I always go with the blue polos and the long sleeve when possible in Phoenix anyway. I thought we might see a Seiko watch show up, go old school Bond frugal. I had not seen the pants from Spectre before, so I'll be keeping an eye out for those now.

[@quantumofbond0073]

David I have the Madagascar shirt from CR on order from Royale Filmwear! Should arrive any day now! My first Bond garment! Looking forward to getting lots of use out of it! Thanks for this vid and all the recommendations! 😎🍸

[@michaelpoplawski2998]

Great pieces. Royale Filmwear always hits the mark. I have several of their items and have never been let down.

[@midwestdepp]

I think your channel is awesome! I like you bring up the fact, does this item actually fit in my life as something I’d actually wear. I definitely based a lot of my wardrobe off of bond lifestyle moments ,but I’ve definitely used brands and styles that fit me and my personality but these pieces look like bond could wear it.

[@roberthawk7569]

Surprisingly, my favorite/most used frugal Bond item is the Carhartt hat from No Time to Die (modified to match the film). It's my go-to ball cap now, and I can wear it when looking for stylish casual. In the Deep South, I don't get to wear the Bond jackets as much as I would like.

[@grumpyoldmaninadodgecharge784]

I would have lost money. I bet that #2 would have been a navy pea coat and #1 the Sunspel polo.

[@Quick353]

I wear my Carhartt blue cap from NTTD all the time

[@roberthawk7569]

Me too. I even wear it sometimes for outfits that I don't normally have a ball cap on.

[@TheBondReport]

Another banger video. 👏 👏👏 Love me some Royale’s stuff.

[@CosmicHobo2]

Would love to see a video on the Ben Whishaw Q wardrobe, some really nice pieces in there.

[@shawnparker2692]

Happy 4th of July - this is a great list

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you!

[@TimmyTims98]

I’m surprised to not see the Tommy Bahama shirt on here! One of my most worn Bond shirts!

[@jamielynch9807]

Great list, David! Just wondering what colour is your Royale jacket? Very tempted just not sure which shade of brown is accurate. Keep up the great content 👍

[@LukeOrwin]

Great video! Actually one item I might be able to afford. Jealous of the Daniel Craig bond book in background

[@05Rudey]

Most of my Bond appreciation pieces are frugal replications, some poor some good. When I got all the gear I wanted to scratch that itch I slowly added special expensive token items like an Omega Seamaster 300, Crockett&Jones Islay Boots, Barbour beacon Jacket, Tom Ford Sunglasses and a bespoke tailored suit. Next on the list is a Sunspel Polo.

[@KalEl290]

Awesome video, thanks David.

[@maribelorozco2143]

I love this !! great close

[@bamboomike4295]

Awesome frugal Bond vlog David! The ones I was surprised didn’t make the cut , were the Sunspel Royale Riviera polo, and either the white or gray Orlebar Brown tee’s. Those are my go to frugal Bond choices, at least for Summer! 😊

[@Visqo1]

Is that they are not frugal. 160 for a Polo is steep man.

[@bamboomike4295]

@@Visqo1 Granted, I bought mine when they were $125, though it still looks new. The tee’s are still under $100, if I recall correctly, and all three items are screen accurate to boot!

[@bamboomike4295]

@@Visqo1 Ok, I just looked and the tee shirts are up to $125 now, though I have both the white and gray one, and they also still look like new. I pick up a few each year on clearance through them, for like $50, though of course the white and gray ones are never included in that sale sadly!

[@bamboomike4295]

@@Visqo1 Just a heads up, as the Royale Riviera polo is on sale today for $104, which puts it in the frugal category, today at least! 🤣

Hi, great video! What size of the Amos I Bomber are you wearing? Btw: it would be helpful if you always gave the sizing info. Thanks again!

[@septimus64]

Good morning David. I was wondering if you had done a video about Bond sport shoes?

[@mrrajsingh]

wow I just went to the 007 store and like more than 3/4 of the items they had a month ago are gone!

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

Hurry!

[@you0nlylivetwice]

My most budget piece is a Goldeneye Parker jotter pen, cost me about $10usd

[@Bill_Mize]

Watching the video, I'm immediately distracted because I'm looking for the "Daniel Craig's Bond" by Greg Williams in the background!

[@jsteeler7198]

Hey David. Have you got the bond silver proof coins from our royal mint??

[@stephenlydon8607]

my favorite frugal bond is the carhartt cap

[@woopert7]

Are you still rocking the small size Madagascar? You said you had a medium for the original one so I am wondering more about the fit.

[@johnsimmons831]

A timely video if ever I saw one...

Can someone offer the link to the Jed North shorts alteration please?

[@hiddenbl4de602]

Talking about Frugal Bond Items, I think Iconic Alternatives has always been incredible at showing Frugal items. Sadly he's been inactive for quite some time now. Does anyone know what happened to John?

[@TheJaime9526]

Erm… is Bond playing a PSP in the airport at 7:51? When did that happen?

[@TheBondExperience]

LOL...behind the scenes, but showed off the pants well!

Has anyone found his jed north video. Going to try to remove the logo and the string out from it. I found his no time to die carhart hat video if anyone wants another cheap screen accurate piece from nttd
