The suit is sublime. It certainly helps how the suit would be used in the film to cement an immediate decision to buy but just looking at how great it is and how better it'll look once all the tailored adjustments are made, I'd say it's definitely worthy of purchasing.
Cannot lie, I'm not a fan of the tight fit of the Ford suits ( I preferred the Brioni on Mr Craig). but .... I like the fabric and cut here ... Just needs to be a bit more forgiving on the fit ... Great content and presentation as ever ... Another great episode :)
TheBondExperience Thank you David. I / we really do appreciate what you create for us to enjoy and voice opinions on. Well done and please keep this quality content coming.
It might be the wrong cut or style you have tried on. I have to admit TF suits are not the easiest to wear as it does demand a certain figure to be the ideal fit. Is not exactly a normal highend business suit you find with Zegna or Brioni (although is made by Zegna). My tip is to try a few in their boutique to see if there's a cut for you. The TF aesthetics now is moving towards slightly narrower silhouette than it first launched (narrow shoulders and trousers). Unfortunately not all of us can fit into his aesthetics.
Phillip Wong Hi Phil , I was not referring to how TF suits fit on me , it was how I feel they look on Mr Craig :) Im happy with my tailor , he is on Saville Row :)
Really admire the pattern, every time you profile a suit I always say ‘that’s the one I like’ then you review another and I like that one, and on and on😊 . Love these in depth videos, Tom Ford should put you on their payroll ! Thank you David , stay safe 👍🙏🙏
Cracking video. What a great relationship David must have with Tom Ford to have them so amazingly send this box. Also, if David were making Bond films, there'd be one every three months. Such is the rate at which content gets created...Many thanks.
Dave, congrats on your Bond fitness challenge. Suit jacket fits like that in chest and shoulders; size 50 Short?! The 'V' has got to be full in effect! Nice! Keep up the good work!
Tom Ford suits are made by Zegna...an Italian maker of medium priced suits. But the stores that sell them put on hefty mark ups. That's why the suits are so expensive at the retail level.
Hi David, love your reviews and you make those outfits/suit's look sharp and dapper. Ok I'm sold... Seriously!! You need to be head of sales at Tom Ford. Can't wait to see you review the rest of the item's in the Box 🤔 stay safe.
I have 5 TF suits. All are really great suits. The only problem with TF suits is that one needs a very specific body proportion to have that great fit and look. Tom Ford, I think, designs his suits to fit the best model he knows…himself. If you don’t have the right proportions and start cutting it to fit. The suit starts to look like any other suit. TF jackets are a near perfect fit for me straight off the rack. Even arm length is rarely required. Maybe with two of the jackets, I had to open the lapels out just a bit. My body proportions are 6’2”, 44 jacket, 34 waist. Not a whole lot of people out there with those exact proportions. When my waist was 32. Cutting 34 pants down. Well, just ruined the lines. Better to get the salesman to ‘sneak’ a pair of 32’s than to cut 34’s. Now, I have a suit guy. And I love it. Better fabric selection and also a nicer price. Bespoke and made to measure are truly the best way for suits that fit well and look great.
Maybe you can help me, I was looking for a second hand TF blazer (Atticus), can't really try it on locally anywhere (department store in my country carry only big sizes), and according to measurements its quite long for size 46R. Is it really that long, or because of shoulder pads is sits 'higher'??
The issue with a 40C (C=short for TF), they will adjust the style block where: 1) the arms are more wider - you can see the excess fabric buckles even when the arms are in its neutral position. 2) the arm hole will sit a bit lower as well due to the bigger arms 3) since is short, the jacket proportion will be slightly off due to compensate the body and sleeve being slightly shorter compared to R (regular) 4) the trousers will have more room on the thigh, as you can see on DC the trousers are much slimmer with the seat more defined. The issue with TF is, when you buy a C, their cut is automatically adjusted for slightly more "stocky" build, as David definitely work out with slightly odd sizing, 40 to 31 with a drop of 9 this suit will not going to look "right" unless they do bespoke for him (which TF don't in retail) but I'm sure they do for DC. If David has a 38 chest and slightly taller, the 38R would probably be closer to the look of DC, when DC probably a 40R/40C but with the magic of bespoke.
Just confirmed my estimation, below is a link which shows DC was fitted with a 50R Base B (Regency) for QoS, his build might had changed a bit with bulking up for his latter roles but it should "roughly" be the same. www.bondsuits.com/an-unused-cream-suit-in-quantum-of-solace/
A great showing of this suit David thanks. I’ve been a bit flummoxed by the 3-roll two jackets, how to distinguish them between standard 3 button jackets out in the wild. This helped thanks Pb
Hello, The roll-roll two type is quite simple. It's when you have a single breasted suit and two normal buttons on the front. But there is also a hidden top button, under one of the lapels, with the button hole in one of the lapels itself. Now I actually would avoid a 3 roll two for the fact it's a risk, if you have a handdone canvas in the lapel and chest, it should have a lapel roll. If it doesn't, just ask your drycleaner to put one in for you. The problem is with a nice lapel roll, it actually shows the button hole in the lapel. Which I think looks a bit out of place seeing a hole in the inside of the lapel. The art of the three role is about being elegant, the famous Bespoke tailors around the world can do the three roll two where the button hole is never seen, even with a nice lapel roll.
It could be the lighting, but the suit Daniel Craig wears in the thumbnail seems to be more deep blue in colour. I just watched the movie yesterday and I a specifically searching for the suit he wears when he goes to Belmarsh. Is it the same one you are reviewing here?
Nice video, that pattern 7:25 could be called pepper & salt (-ish). I'm a bit biased towards the Brioni cut with suits too (especially 'The World is not enough') but I'm getting the tigher cut the way you present it 10:30 nicely done
David, I want to renew my collection of ties, because those that I possess are of outdated fashion. Which width do you believe would be more appropriate? I am a lawyer, 43. I like single-color ties accompanied by clips and white presidentially folded pocket square handkerchiefs.
I really like the look of this Suit, thanks for the close ups as well! I think it looks fantastic on you, defiantly will be trying to get something close to this in the future!
Easy to find the exact replica, see itailor.com and specify your measurements, you won't be disapointed. I checked on their website it happens they have available the same pattern, in wool blend not a mix of wool and silk like the original one produced by Tom Ford. The tie is easy to locate in any clothes store. Good luck.
Given Bond's dressing habits from previous movies the rule that emerges is keep it simple. So basically I don't think the proper tie is grey but rather a dark blue. More in line, again with what we have been seeing on Bond since 1962.
When you mentioned the jacket size and said 50 short, am I correct to assume that is in euro size? That suit looks great on you btw. The tie bar is growing on me.
Hi Dave, great content love the channel. I am pretty sure James Bond uses a Windsor knot on the tie, might be worth using this to really make the look pop! Slightly pedantic I know but I also realise that you love that attention to detail. Keep up the great work!
Dear Sir, Could you kindly let me know this suit’s lapel width size in cm? And is the curve line appear in your back shoulder ( run from collar to arm) is suit back shoulder pad?
I really dont understand why someone would spend so much on a Tom Ford suit, when for roughly the same money you could get a bespoke suit tailored on Savile Row !!
It really is a bloody shame that Daniel Craig's vanity + misinformed concept of menswear impelled him to wear tight "muscles bulging underneath!" suits that are basically "poor" because they are far, far too tight, to the point of wrinkling and buckling around his torso. Tom Ford is an excellent brand and were Craig's suits fitted correctly he'd possibly be the best dressed Bond in the franchise.
Really don't understand the inclusion of these rolled top buttons! They serve no purpose imo. I like to see a single button , clean, simple, serves a purpose.
There really isn't a reason why, it's more a style choice that was done by Bespoke tailors many years ago. It's more an added feature to show the suit was "Bespoke", but now you see them on many off the rack brands.
You are showing the dreaded triangle of shirt and tie tip below the front button. Always a sign of a poorly fitting suit. $$$$ and a designer label do not guarantee a well made/fitting suit.

I've done men's tailoring and there is nothing as beautiful as a Tom Ford suit. Also that tie is perfect.
The suit is sublime. It certainly helps how the suit would be used in the film to cement an immediate decision to buy but just looking at how great it is and how better it'll look once all the tailored adjustments are made, I'd say it's definitely worthy of purchasing.
Thanks....yeah, its definitely in consideration!
You’re the best Bond fan. Never stop doing what you love
David, you are one of my favourite content makers. What a gorgeous suit!
So kind of you to say....thank you!
your commitment to Bond and fitness is inspirational.
I need to find a frugal version of that suit, it is truly beautiful!
Suitsupply! They have quite a few suits that look identical to TF suits. The range from 400-1k. You can even custom order a suit from them.
Seriously, I’d love a suit like this around 150-200 bucks or so
Cannot lie, I'm not a fan of the tight fit of the Ford suits ( I preferred the Brioni on Mr Craig). but .... I like the fabric and cut here ... Just needs to be a bit more forgiving on the fit ... Great content and presentation as ever ... Another great episode :)

My goodness! That box must be worth 20k with all those items!
Been waiting for this, hard to pin down the colour from the trailer/spy shots. Cheers David.
My pleasure!
Man I genuinely think that u would be a pretty good Bond
I love this suit. The pattern is amazing
The pattern is the thing that really makes this what it is!

Agree, the suit jacket should be much looser in the waist.
You need a pair of stunning sunglass to complete the look. Without shades, it is a sharp business look. With shades, it is a top agent look.
I would keep it. Looks amazing!
Thanks!
There's quite a bit of collar gap in some of those scenes. I'm surprised they didn't fix that for him.
Nice video, as ever.
Can't help thinking that the blue suit works better with a white shirt.
A great showing of this suit David thanks. I’ve been a bit flummoxed by the 3-roll two jackets, how to distinguish them between standard 3 button jackets out in the wild. This helped thanks Pb

Sharp looking suit David
Fascinating. Thank you!
Really love that pattern on the suit. Looks great
Appreciated!
What would be great is if Tom Ford design the designer covid mask for Bond, along with the matching hankerchief.
Imagine that!
🙏जय भीम महोदय🙏
I love your Show,,,,
Our Father of Indian Constitution "Lord Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar" was always wearing suit.... 🙏🙏💐💐
Great suit! Why does this suit look gray to me? I see hints of but primarily the suit under the light looks gray to me
It could be the lighting, but the suit Daniel Craig wears in the thumbnail seems to be more deep blue in colour. I just watched the movie yesterday and I a specifically searching for the suit he wears when he goes to Belmarsh. Is it the same one you are reviewing here?

Ah, salt N peppa....perfect!
Awesome fit !!!!!!!
Thanks!
Blue Wales - looks good
Thanks...yes, interesting pattern.
A great navy suit for war.
Love this suit
David, I want to renew my collection of ties, because those that I possess are of outdated fashion. Which width do you believe would be more appropriate? I am a lawyer, 43. I like single-color ties accompanied by clips and white presidentially folded pocket square handkerchiefs.
3” is the standard width that you find in stores nowadays, but personally, I prefer 3.5” (i.e. the old standard width).
You look like a million bucks in that suit.
So nice of you to say!
Always...always shoot the cuffs!! Great review as always sir 👍🏻🍸😷
I really like the look of this Suit, thanks for the close ups as well! I think it looks fantastic on you, defiantly will be trying to get something close to this in the future!
Thanks....knew you would like this one! :)
TheBondExperience looking forward to seeing the ties review and the other suits
Easy to find the exact replica, see itailor.com and specify your measurements, you won't be disapointed. I checked on their website it happens they have available the same pattern, in wool blend not a mix of wool and silk like the original one produced by Tom Ford. The tie is easy to locate in any clothes store. Good luck.
I love this channel so much
Can you if u haven't already, rank all the James Bond movies in your opinion and can u do a full review on never say never again?
I think I did! :)
Is this considered Cosplay? Just curious?
Hello , David ! Why didn’t you go with made to measure options?
“No Tie To Die” haha 😂
Te queda muy bien ese traje, David. Saludos desde México.
Love your content with TF 👏👏
Thanks so much!
This one looks great, love the pattern. If you get this one, how many Bond suits will you have in total? 🤔
Oh gosh....not sure really.
TheBondExperience 😂 we need a closet tour video!
are the anthony sinclair suits easy to move in and how do they compare to this?
Given Bond's dressing habits from previous movies the rule that emerges is keep it simple. So basically I don't think the proper tie is grey but rather a dark blue. More in line, again with what we have been seeing on Bond since 1962.
philippe Degorde it also looks dark blue in all the shots..
How much you pay for the box or was it a gift.
David sir, please make a video on u r lifestyle and daily routine plz
David, did you ever figure out the proper tie for the suit?
When you mentioned the jacket size and said 50 short, am I correct to assume that is in euro size?
That suit looks great on you btw. The tie bar is growing on me.
Yes, EU sizing.
You can find the similar tie bar on ebay.com/sg for 3 dollars.
Great video David
Thumbs up
Much appreciated!
Hi Dave, great content love the channel. I am pretty sure James Bond uses a Windsor knot on the tie, might be worth using this to really make the look pop! Slightly pedantic I know but I also realise that you love that attention to detail. Keep up the great work!
Dear Sir,
Could you kindly let me know this suit’s lapel width size in cm?
And is the curve line appear in your back shoulder ( run from collar to arm) is suit back shoulder pad?
It’s a keeper
Very Conneryish style by Craig in no time to die
Sir please make video on James Bond white tuxedo from specter
SPECTAR
Tom Ford suits ard great but tend to look alittle too tight sometimes.
You look the part, Mister Bond.
How much was this? 👀🙂
I really dont understand why someone would spend so much on a Tom Ford suit, when for roughly the same money you could get a bespoke suit tailored on Savile Row !!
It’s actually a Zegna, that has the TF branding lol
can just do mto at suit supply
sorry but I don't like the thin lapels, you can see your tie width is bigger than the lapels.
But this is more charcoal than blue in my opinion
The suit is blue, not charcoal. The lighting is making it look more grey.
That lockdown comment didn't age well lol.
Looks like London premier wear
I'm assuming you've seen this: ruclips.net/video/Iy7xDGi5lp4/видео.html
HILARIOUS!!!
50s? Shouldn’t you be a 42s/r?
50S is a 40S for your calculation FYI
David you are so hot in that suit
So the opening, never seen James Bond using nunchucks??? I have a feeling this guy dreams he is James Bond?
It's quite amusing to watch!
For me too....;)
I believe the intention was to be amusing.
You look great, but my friend, however you are no Bond....James Bond!
Oh, don't I know it! :)
Your a good sport David. Love the videos. Wish I had half the energy. Love the Bond stuff and I am over 60.
Why is dark grey called blue ? And the shirt is purple not blue 🧐 could it be you are color blind ?
I’m your height and fatter than you,.. and I wear a 44r…. I think the 50 is way too big.
It really is a bloody shame that Daniel Craig's vanity + misinformed concept of menswear impelled him to wear tight "muscles bulging underneath!" suits that are basically "poor" because they are far, far too tight, to the point of wrinkling and buckling around his torso. Tom Ford is an excellent brand and were Craig's suits fitted correctly he'd possibly be the best dressed Bond in the franchise.
Meh, that was kind of how Bond has described in the novels
@@Pepestock - ‘meh’, it really _wasn’t._
Really don't understand the inclusion of these rolled top buttons! They serve no purpose imo.
I like to see a single button , clean, simple, serves a purpose.
A very valid point!
There really isn't a reason why, it's more a style choice that was done by Bespoke tailors many years ago. It's more an added feature to show the suit was "Bespoke", but now you see them on many off the rack brands.
Never undo 2 buttons you look like a slime ball. Remember this and you Will do well
Ugly suits extra slim . Im prefer baggy suits
You are showing the dreaded triangle of shirt and tie tip below the front button. Always a sign of a poorly fitting suit. $$$$ and a designer label do not guarantee a well made/fitting suit.
You would think of all suits on Bond there would be no collar gap on his suits. Unacceptable. Not very sartorially inclined.
The jacket is too small across the shoulders and the waist.
Ugh why are we still doing these skinny lapels
(Still v cool)
Those skinny lapels 😖
The suits are too tight
terrible knot
