I love how passionate you are about Bond. I work in custom, made-to-measure menswear and have a few observations:
1. Love the key details of the fabric, and signature Tom Ford details: Glen Plaid/PoW pattern, Milanese buttonhole, the O
Connor fit.
2. Your jacket doesn't fit you in the chest. Tom Ford pieces are fully canvassed, it will take care of your prominent chest. The lapel is still popping, this needs a press and stretch or letting out of the chest from the centre seam.
3. Roped shoulders are great, the signature of the Tom Ford fit. However your shoulders are sloped, I would recommend the tailor press the shoulder, or slim out the padding a little bit.
4. You seem to have a lot of room on your jacket sleeves. They needn't be tight, but the excess fabric is excess fabric, it still doesn't fall straight when your arms are down. There's drooping, and your arms are backward, so that's a sleeve-pitch issue too.
5. You like a suppressed waist, which is a personal taste, and that's great :) At the same time, I personally would not recommend it to this extent for you, as your chest to waist drop (ratio wise) is immense. You want to accentuate waist shape, but when your drop is is that big, I wouldn't recommend it be that much suppression. Let that out a smidge.
6. Your jacket is a tad too long. I would recommend it end between the first and second knuckle of your thumb.
7. Take in the seat of your jacket a little bit for a better drape on the single vent. A great, unique, action detail though as you said ;)
8. Be sure to not have the tie pin pull against the tie so much, it'll ruin the fabric! Great accessories though! :)
8. Yes, you have a slimmer lower body, and this is a good thing you've noticed. Your trousers fit you in the thigh and seat perfectly. That tailor is fantastic. However, from the calf down, I would recommend still tapering that up by around 0.5'-0.75'. As your trousers are cuffed, a break that large is a little excessive. I would personally say they reach the first shoelace.
I'm quite obsessive and passionate in a different way, so these are some observations and thoughts I thought I'd share with you. This is an awesome video, and I'm super excited to see the film, and your videos relating to the film!
Watched you for a long time, and I'm a huge fan of your content. Best of luck!
This is fantastic....thank you!
Sougata,
I love your level of explanation and thoroughness did you learn custom men's Wear from reading or from job experience?
Chandler Crawford job experience
Made to measure and not bespoke? Nah
Sougata Mitra great eye!
I’ve tailored men’s suits and loved seeing the precision tailoring at Tom Ford. Those suits are sublime.
This really makes me want to own a Tom Ford suit, haha.
Very expensive
It must feel incredible to wear (and to be seen wearing) such a fine suit! Talk about a confidence boost!
It's pretty heady!
He was my tailor when I got my suit tailored. He was very friendly, the saleswomen however had an attitude.
That's women for you
Suit looks amazing as does the outfit. Thank you for sharing David, if you are fortunate enough to be able to buy and get this fitted you should.
Thank you!
Great to see people with passion for a hobby or interest. Really enjoyed this and thanks for taking us on your jorney!
Love the suit. Prince of Wales check is always a fantastic choice. From what I can gather Bond wears a linen suit in the new movie. I can see bracers coming back into style. Bond wears them in some scenes. I subscribed recently as your channel is one of the best out there. Well done David. Nice to see such knowledge and great presentation. Merry Christmas from England.
Very kind of you to say....and a Merry Christmas to you as well!
This is going to make me unpopular. I don’t think the suit fits you well in the chest. It looks too small and is pulling in front. The buttons stance also needs to be a bit lower on your jacket.
donmatt74 won’t make you unpopular at all! Fit is very subjective and I respect all opinions. And I do mention in the video an adjustment or two to be made. 😎👍
Agreed
TheBondExperience Took it like a man and how Bond would’ve handled that comment in my opinion.
@@TheBondExperience Looks great! and I'm English, so essentially I'm bond lol.
40:05 but he said this!
Even Teaching Mens Fashion or whatever his channel is called wasn’t able to get permission to film at a TF store. He has millions of subs. You must be really special to the TF brand!
Really nice vlog! The suit, unfortunately could fit a lot better.
Would be amazing to be a fly on the wall at the discussions between Craig and Ford to see what inspires them for these designs
I agree!
But, David! You clasped the tie clip to the shirt at 31:43! So technically you did it better than Daniel did! ;-)
LOL......!
I bought Tom Ford Snowden glasses and I think they’ll be perfect with this suit!
Try then as well next you wear the suit again.
Amazing video! Perfect for a James Bond fanatic like me
Amazing vid my friend. You are a natural storyteller.
I remember seeing Live And Let Die with my dad when I was 7, and being blown away by the Rolex 5513 with the bullet deviating magnet and the high speed circular saw. 21 years later, when I received my medical degree I purchased a Rolex Sub from the year Live and Let Die was released. That watch, my first real watch, will go to my firstborn when he turns 21. Amazing how 007 has touched and influenced us.
I'm a doctor and huge James Bond fan too. My son is only 9 months, but he already has dibs on my Breitling Navitimer and Breitling Top Time. Best wishes :)
Bertram Prosser awesome. My eldest is nine, never too early to plan.
It's all hideous marketing 😂😂😂 you bought it because you think it was your taste. If the movie displays a strapped cabbage around his wrist you would have chosen that instead 😅
If this is your ‘last suit’, then you’ve gone out in style. I think it’ll be obvious on the final fine tune that it’s your best fit to date. Congratulations on it and thanks for sharing the experience. And you might have to bundle your next few birthdays and christmases together to make sure you get that watch. You need the watch. All the best, S.
Ah.....the watch..... :)
Younger man from Australia
To say that I aspire to wear and pull off a suit of this calibre and look good is an understatement
Fantastic video
Quality content
Two thumbs up 👍👍
Thanks so much!
You can come to Italy and get one of this suit, made in Italy, more cheaper (of course without "Tom Ford brand"). Anyway, for me James Bond's suits are from Savile Row!
Should be called an O'Connery, ok, maybe slightly funny, ahem.
Craig not Creg. As you Americans pronounce it. Please don't take any offence. Great in depth video, just wish I could have my clothes tailored like that. Not forgetting the dosh to afford it! Cheers.
suit is much better cut than the spectre super-tight approach... YAY!
Dan Craig used to work behind the bar of my local pub in West London in the 1980s,he was a nice guy.
Tom " overpriced " ford , primark for this "00"
You could certainly get a bespoke suit for that. But the clothing item itself is only partially what attracts. The fact that it is THE EXACT type of suit Bond wore, makes it worth it to some. And I get that.
Great video sir! 👏🏽
Beautiful suit and the Prince Of Wales pattern is so so nice! I prefer the lapels broader, the thin lapels are a bit too trendy for me.
My Lady was ,,upset, when I ordered 6 James Bond made to measure suits online. I suspect I would be sleeping in the car if I ordered a Tom Ford! Looks great! Hope you got your Lady a Very nice sparkly for being awesome and supporting. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
After so many years of this, she is either used to it or just super cool about it....I am choosing super cool! ;)
I like this suit but the Connery tux from diamonds are forever is my favourite.
Good choice!
Connory wore bespoke suits.
This Tom Ford suit is a made to meassure suit. Huge difference !
@@nokiafuck I think Tom Ford has taken some of the best of bespoke creations to their made to measure program. A well fitted suit is always going to look great, and if you look at the fitting David did the jacket fit through the chest and back really well. There are differences, yes, but not as many as their used to be.
As attentive to detail as you are, and we thank you for that, I thought you’d like this. Daniel Craig has his left cuff made slightly larger to wear the watch. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-13/this-one-watch-is-so-precious-daniel-craig-never-even-wears-it
oh wow. Great and important detail. Because that Omega watch is big.
Excuse my soft snobbery, but that’s actually a common practice with bespoke menswear. It’s also interesting the astonishing number of people who have appendages that are different sizes. Customizing apparel even if it is frugal to begin with with make one look much nicer. It’s all about the fit that flatters your body.
I love the premise of this channel. I’m so glad it came up on my recommended list. Keep it up!
I love that suit! Thanks for sharing the experience. I've gotten to love a tie bar, satisfies my Mad Men, Magic City crush
The suit is too long and trousers is too loose
Hi David, great video as usual! How is the fit compared to the Spectre suits? Are the lapels thinner? How long are the pants cuff in this one? I have the Mexico suit and would love add it to my collection ;)
Crystal from TF NYC can help you, but the lapels are slightly thinned...I find the fit to be more 'forgiving' than the Mexico one BUT that may have to do with how I sized and the tailoring.
Honestly it looks uncomfortable
oops, a little editing mistake there at the end ;)
Ah! Thanks for the heads up...fixing now.
You should have went Bespoke instead.
What happens to this channel if the next 007 is a Black woman? Would you still collect woman's accessories, suit, make up items and stuff like that?
It's never gonna happen because it would mean the end of the franchise if they did this.
And by the way, the former director for Bond 25 was fired because he tried to inject feminism propaganda into the movie.
You deserve a interview with Daniel Craig
Nice suit, but it is to tight on you. No excuses, it is not the shirt or the under shirt, it is your belly. Have the suit let out.
A couple pounds make a difference.
i am so happy to see your videos because i have learnt dressing styles from daniel bond and you helped me lot about movie dress style and fabrics shoes etc and i am die hard fan of craig
I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. I must say that the Tom Ford experience is something every man should try to have for himself. I have been to the stores here in Los Angeles and also Las Vegas, and it's nothing short of amazing. They really do treat you like royalty there, and their garments are above and beyond competitors like Armani and Zegna (in my opinion). This was a great video, and your silhouette could easily pass for Daniel Craig as 007. Keep up the great work !
知ってる人いたら教えて下さい。このスーツのラペル幅は何センチ？
Hugo Boss jeans, t-shirt and jacket for me. I dont need to look like a wannabe.👍🏻
This dude is real in to bond.
What cool story! Will you actually wear that suit to work?
This is truly inspirational stuff David. Just checking in to say I've watched it once with my Brother who is now a fan (even though he is a car guy and not a clothes guy). This is a huge investment and I'm really pleased for you. Getting the same bolt of fabric is a true exclusive. Will enjoy giving it a few more watches on my travels. Pb
Thanks so much, Pete! Have fun!
This man has a serious passion for all things bond , fair play !!
how much is the suit ?
A little under $5k
@@TheBondExperience wow...
@@mathieunorry I totally get the "FANatism" about Bond. I'd like some of the pieces worn in the craig films as well. Especially the vlc distressed leather jacket and the suede one. But with the pricing of those Items I can settle with a close enough piece as well... 😂
You are my Bond goto. I sprung for an O’Conner. Transcendental fit. And agree the fitting was a chill, non-pretentious vibe.
SUPERSMOOTH.
😌😌😌😌lol lol lol
JB just like me.

Jeez , what is his day job ? How can he afford all this ?
Some he bought himself, others are promo items like this suit so Tom Ford sells a bunch
I tried to buy short size Tom Ford suit(48C or 50C) in Korea but they do not sell C size in here and very difficult to find in Europe. If I go to US, have to visit Tom Ford shop 😊
Best episode so far. I have had only rack and last years full bespoke suits and never really understood the made to measure process but you have perfectly shown it in Tom Ford case. Thank you, keep up the good Bond work!
The first button as a roll open front, is a no no, the jacket now does not fall right and he looks as if he's puffing his chest out, and why isn't he wearing the Tom Ford Black Gianni lace shoe near the end? If you don't get the shoes right, nothing else matters, you've just bludgeoned the suit with that tired pair you're wearing (Yuck)
You know you could've went to the Tom Ford store at the Short Hills Mall, NJ and saved yourself money on transportation and parking...
Hmmmmm, may have been a slightly different experience. :)
What jacket are you wearing at the train station???
Mason & Son
I've always thought that Deniel Craig based his Bond look on Mc Queen's Thomas Crown.
That shows a lot of passion, and the suit and all the details are amazing. Probably is the most close Im going to be to a Bond Tom Ford suit. Increible suit. No money is enough for the pleasure and enthusiasm you got with all the experience and tailoring. That is class. Dont gain not a pound or you will waste the perfect fit fot the Bond 25 suit. Congratulations
Thanks so much!
Will the trim fitting suit ever fucking die? I hate it and I have some Tom Ford items but they have wide lapels and do not look like what he is wearing?
Fantastic video as always. Such enthusiasm, I was excited for you while watching this. 👍🏻
I want to buy the exact plaid that you have there! Can you tell me the name of that exact plaid design? Thank you!
Great content but please please pronounce his name correctly? CRAIG. Not Cceg !!
David,
I am long time viewer i really like your videos. I also really appreciate your time putting into this channel.
There is something i just want to say: the suits daniel is wearing i am sure is custommade for his height. You are wearing an altered off the rack suit which are probably made for taller men. You can make the jacket shorter, but i can see the pocketflaps are too low on your suit if you compare it with the set pics in london.... which is a pity for a probably multi thousand dollar suit.... also the shoulders on yours are more square then on daniel. Won’t it be better to source a comparable fabric and custommade the suit... probably less expensive also...
johnluminor totally respect your opinion...and you served it up in a nice and constructive way. Craig is only two inches taller than me and this suit is a short as opposed to a regular. I am not keen on the very short jacket look but again fit is very subjective.
TheBondExperience i am glad you are not offended. By the way i thought you are approx the same height as Craig... probably 178cm?
Is Tom Ford going to make a dress for the new Bond ? Will you wear it ? Lol
Hi David, I think you should use microphones and better cameras/filming. Some of the recording was plain claustrophobic and some backgrounds were too bright. And yes some (a lot of) editing will be helpful to keep the videos short and nice.
And the fragrance to go with that suit? Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.
Love the enthusiasm. Thanks for the video! I've got a couple O'Connor jackets and they are a beautiful cut. Great masculine look. Would say the one negative is that all that shape comes at the expense of a bit of freedom of movement. That said, great suits.
Great video, fantastic suit and good to see the process. Was it just me or was the tailor wearing the Skyfall Istanbul cuff links also. Thanks David
What sharp little eyes you have! Yes, he was!
Damn crappy music in the TF boutique
Any additional details on the “correct” tie, and the shirt? Can you get these directly from a boutique now?
And the tie bar!
What an amazing vlog, David! And what an amzing suit!
It was as much fun making the vlog as it was getting the suit! :)
I really love your passion. Like you, I am passionate about cars, so of course my favorite part was you getting out of the DB9 :) . nicely done video. And, yes, that suit REALLY looks good !
Love your passion sir.
Absolutely love Tom Ford suits.
How about Mikeal Fastbender for the next 007?
Hi David. Greetings from Mexico. Hey, how tall are you?
5' 9"
I loved every part of what you did on this video except the walk could have been better when you got off from Aston. thumbs up bro! Tc
This video is 👌👌👌👌👌 I'd sort out the pocket square though. Its sticking out too much.
Yes, it is!
The jacket puckers across the back when you move your arms.
Good content... though delivered in a way that is verging on '14yr old fanboy playing pretend dress up' but I suppose that's the point of the channel.... please my american friends it's 'krayy-g' not 'kreg'
Surely Bond would only be wearing clothing from Savile Row and Jermyn Street, certainly not anything by Tom Ford....
It would be the same if he were driving a Ford rather than a Bentley (in the books) or an Aston Martin
Really nice suit but I won’t pay 5k for a suit.
Thanks for sharing. You went out of your way to get that suit. Tom Ford is also one of my top designers, however, I mostly wear Kiton, Isaia and sporadically Brioni. I don't even know who designed prior Bond suits. Wasn't it Brioni?
Interesting they gave you a 50 C which means is a 50 short. May I ask do you own any other TF suits. The O'connor cut has always been challenging for me personally and I actually spoke to the VP of menswear at TF and he confessed the cut is "difficult" and they tweaked so much of it during the yrs. It seems the cut is still very narrow on the shoulders and chest, so hence you have to up size but at the same time getting a shorter cut
Thanks for sharing! Love the video. What did you have to do for them to send you a suit in the first place? Do they measure you at a store then manufacture the suit and mail it to you for the final fitting? If I would like a bond style black tux as in quantum of solace, any recommendations for a similar tux that is not as expensive? The Tom Ford tux shows up as $6000 online...hoping for something in the $500-$1500 range maybe?
IMHO the best Bond suit is worn by Lazenby when he burgles Gumbold's safe.Slim fitting but not tight.Very Savile Row.Very stylish.
Beautiful suit David. Great video.
David what knot do you use for the tab collar?
you want to be James Bond or your self? poor guy....
I like your video.
In this film, I think Daniel Craig wears two button suit unlike other films. I can’t find the upper button hole in the trailer.
Looks like Christmas came early! Very sharp. Would make a great 25K subscriber giveaway, I'd like to be the 1st to put my name in the drawing! Jk . Congrats on the new suit very handsome.
what an entertaining channel
some additional detail/ info for you, since the suits are made by Zegna, the C on the label doesn't stand for custom but for "short" / corto regarding the base master garment used for made to measure products
what made you start this channel ?
cheers
The camera man did not show it, but it looked like a single vent. All the old Bonds are rolling over in graves, as the Limey way is double vent. And the Italians closed same. Oh well.
I wanna ask you something,why you are so obssess with those things?☺️
Everyone needs a hobby..... ;)
TheBondExperience for sure dont take it negativ,but i think you should just keep it like hobby nothing more ✋🏻
I have the opportunity to make this suit my first big Bond brand purchase. Should I go for it David?
Are the Tom Ford suits, shirts, and ties, still made by Zegna? Or do they nowadays have their own factory?
what is that shirt you wear in the beginning of the video?
those pants = too loose and why don´t they short them up (doesn´t look classy at all to wear them rolled up and completely ruined the overall look)
Dude, it's a typical retro yet classic thing. Half of my suits have that type of finishing. Alos, full slim fit stuff when it comes to suits is just sick, so it's better this way. The only thing I would bitch about is the lenght of the sleeves. So I guess it's all about tastes and preferences in the end. ;)
Thanks for this video. Nice to catch up on style. Tom Ford actually makes a masculine-looking suit.
What is the exact song that is used in the intro? People are gonna tell me it's the "James Bond Theme" but it sounds different than every James bond theme I've heard. I can't find it anywhere
Thank you for sharing this video.Your suit looks very stunning; and I can see that Tom Ford tailors are very professional! Enjoy your Bond 25 suit!!!
The tailor did a perfect fitting David.
From Armani to Tom Ford....I let that sink in for a while.
He is a "Master Tailor".
All designers are nothing with out their tailors needless to say.
Stay close to him David!
Ha!
That's a beautiful stunning suit and fit-
Congrats!
If you look at all the wrinkels below his right shoulder from the back it is clear that this tailor is everything but a master.
@@nokiafuck ....actually I did not catch that...I was on my first cup of coffee, ha!
Ironically David did not either, it has to be David's shoulder, likely a constant issue in his fittings.
I believe easily taken care of with opening the shoulder seam and inserting shoulder padding.
Lots of guys have that issue.
What do you think-
Have a great Christmas-
@@G0K3001 Initially I also thought that he has a sloped shoulder that causes this, but then I noticed that if you look at the suit jacket from the front and pay attention to the low end on each side (32:20), the right side of the suit jacket (from our point of view) is longer than the left side. Or in other words, on the low end of the right side of the suit jacket hangs lower than the left side.
This can't be caused by his right shoulder hanging lower than the left because if that were the case the opposite side of the suit jacket had to hang lower.
I then checked another video of him wearing a suit to confirm this to myself and there you can see the exact same thing (one side of the suit jacket hanging lower than the other one): ruclips.net/video/d8s6DH5v7V4/видео.html
After thinking about it I came to the conclusion that his left leg must be shorter than his right leg. (from his point of view)
Just put on a suit and wear one shoe on your right foot and no shoe on your left foot in order to simulate your left leg being shorter than the other. If you look into the mirror you get the exact same result that is visible in this video (wrinkles below the right shoulder from the back and one side of the suit jacket being longer than the other) because your body tries to correct this by bending to one side.
The solution is either to get a bespoke suit (made to meassure suits can't correct that issue completely) or even better to get orthopedic insoles that elongate one leg so that both legs have the same length.
Then your posture automatically corrects itself and the wrinkels as well as the difference in length of the sit jacket in the front will disappear.
@@nokiafuck Hello,your reply could very well be the case.
Different leg lengths is a common issue and could be increased by his physicalness.
David is pretty physical be it tread mill , or running outside.
His terrain around his home I believe is not too flat.
If he has foot pronation, its generally on the shorter leg, it can increase creating the one sided slant in his posture.
Thus the sagging shoulder fit,
the suit can still be "saved" I feel.
Possibly up to two refittings.
Again good observation and analysis, hopefully he will see these comments.
@@nokiafuck those wrinkles are a necessity if you want to move your arms a perfectly clean back just doesn't allow for any real movement just look at bespoke you will see the same.
I remember someone telling me that I should get a single vent on the of the jacket is only if I plan on riding horses, and he laughed. but it does look good.
Please could you tell me what shoes you are wearing during the fitting, they look amazing. Thanks
