To me, the best looking/style James Bond is Pierce Brosnan. the best James Bond as a character is Sean Connery. the best movies/best James Bond as acting performances are Daniel Craig.
It's funny how Bond is a fashion icon when Book Bond doesn't really make a big fuss about clothes. It's cars and breakfast that he's passionate about. The movies could start showing off some of the incredible meals Bond enjoys in the books.
I was ten in 1963 we lived in Houston, Texas and lived in walking distance to the Broadway Theater. I can still remember sitting in the dark and the huge velvet curtains opening and the ornate glittering gold carvings on the walls and the balcony above and the velvet red seats and then the theme music for Bond starts my first taste of the Bond icon, Dr. No, I was hooked for life. Have not missed one yet and never will.
Sean is 4" taller than Daniel...naturally bigger & stronger...if you put the 2 of them side by side at the same age you'd see the overwhelming difference....
I submit that Sean Connery looked and dressed the best as Bond in Dr. No and Goldfinger, i.e. the shawl collar tuxedo, the white dinner jacket, the sport outfit at the end of the golf match, the three piece muted glen plaid suit. Moore's custom tailored clothes became too dandified as his films progressed. Danton's clothes were uninspired. Brosnan's tailored Brioni suits and sport clothes were beautifully made and he has a natural ability to wear clothes well. Craig looks good in formal wear, however, I don't like the Tom Ford designed suits that look like they are made two sizes too small on him and the shirts and ties are poorly chosen. I understand that this may have been a deliberate decision to de-emphasize the clothes, however, I would go back to Brioni.
i have had a thing about the suits in james bond films always beautifully tailored. Also the shirts. A suit is nothing without a well made shirt and tie. Preferably a white shirt
Yes the golfing attire in Goldfinger was some of the best in all the Bonds.I don't know what they were thinking about putting Craig in those tight fitting suits ... I just kept rolling my eyes ! ... it looked like if he made one wrong move .. Rip !!
Anthony Sinclair's suits for Connery are so timeless. Beautifully tailored, the best of the series in my opinion. And David Mason wearing Persol 714's as regular glasses. Never seen that before. I like it.
why do I need to follow Bond on facebook or twitter when i already do that on you tube and dont use facebook or twitter? its a redundant question, I know. But it had to be asked.
I imagine it's because Lazenby (with the addittion of a few camp late 60s details, à la Italian Job) dressed exactly like Connery had- in fact, turning up to the audition in a Sinclair suit and Rolex was one of the things that won him the role in the first place. At the time there was no plan to make Bond move with the times, all they wanted to do was keep the same old successful formula, and so they did very little to change Bond's image or personality. There would be very little to say from a tailoring point of view about the transition from Connery to Lazenby (especially since the role then went back to Connery) beyond "yeah, the kilt and the orange turtleneck weren't such a great idea". As for Dalton, I have no strong feelings either way about his tenure as Bond, but the wardrobe for those two movies was incredibly unimaginative and dull. The only innovation it can be credited with is introducing Bond to casual wear outside of a holiday setting, and frankly Daniel Craig was way better at pulling off that look.
Scott Adler Would that be the American Tuxedo based on the Dinner Jacket made for the Prince of Wales in 1865? The first tailless Dinner Jackets in the USA were to be seen at the Tuxedo Park in 1886. They were based on British Military Mess Dress. Sorry old boy.
Stewart Stirling My sources indicate that the black tuxedo, whether white tie or black, was invented here, in the US by members of the social elite, old English and Dutch families. There is some dispute about the Martini -- some say that it was invented in San Francisco, but that recipe is not what Bond would recognize as a Martini. That appears to have been invented at the Hotel Knickerbocker in New York.
Scott Adler Henry Poole and Co. Saville Row London are the tailors who first made a "tailless" dinner jacket for the then Prince of Wales in 1865. It was based on Naval mess dress as I mentioned before. The white dinner jacket was a copy of the military mess dress but in white, not red, and made of lighter cotton or linen for use when the temperature was above 70 degrees for more than 5 consecutive days, in a country in which you were stationed. The word "Tuxedo" is a direct reference to the wearing of the first tailless dinner jacket at the Tuxedo Park ball in 1886. The Martini, well happy to concede that the origins were mostly a product of the US but cigarette smoking was quite common in Polynesia and the Americas using tobacco mix and flowers to make the casing. Granted the USA was the first country to industrialise the industry, forgive the use of a "s" instead of "z".
Great Documentary, Ever since, Big-To- Outshine,by James Bond films,Took aDownfall -Splendid Back , With Daniel Craig...Shame , Understandable,Postponements Till Nov/Dec. Good Thinking. ! !
two pictures doesn't count as paying attention to them, everyone but Lazenby and Dalton had the idea behind how their suits were tailored for them and who tailored them explained.
Hello,... Friends ! Morning...wonderful news and video for me ! Sorry Im explaning me beccause I would like to make me nice suits there in Sinclair house, s ! Thank you like your video. Daniel (Grillo).
That's what I love about Bond. His clothes are perfectly tailored, but never boring. They always have small flairs of individuality that make an otherwise staid and traditional suit and tie combo look cool and confident. The turnback cuffs on the tuxedo, the cocktail cuffs on the shirts, the unorthodox materials like linen for an evening jacket, the camp collar leisure shirts, the reversed cufflinks in Goldfinger (which may or may not have been a wardrobe error but still add to Bond's maverick image), the unorthodox pairings (anybody else wearing barleycorn tweed and a knitted tie would look like a maths teacher, but Bond of course pulls it off to perfection- he even manages to make a cream suit work with a pink tie)... everything he wears reflects the personality within- refined and classy, but also unorthodox and highly individual. He could be in a crowd of men all wearing suit and tie, and he would always stand out as the one wearing it not because he has to, but because he wants to. The character's combination of class, style, and utter self-confidence is the reason he is what every man should aspire to be.
Figured it out. It is the instrumental version of "You only live twice." Great song all around. At first I was racking my brain thinking this was in one of the new Bond movies. The says a lot about the song that is transcends time.
My favorite was For Your Eyes Only. I saw it with my mom in NYC. I had grown up watching the early Bond movies at the drive in. I'm not liking them bringing in a female Bond. Why do some women have to force their way into a man's world. The Bond movies had a little something for the whole family. The sexual teasing through out the movie kept the women glued to the movie not wanting to miss a 💋 kiss not to mention the sexual excitement when Bond got his girl at the end. And the action packed life of a British agent kept the men interested all the way through the movie. All the gadgets Q made especially early on. Only added to the fantasy for both sexes watching. There was such an excitement everywhere as the count down began waiting for the opening night of the new James Bond movie. Anticipating and wondering what exotic location James would be taking us to. It was the kind of movie that made you forget your own reality for the next 2 hours. Please don't change who James Bond is. It's not necessary it's changing what we have loved for over 50 years. WHY would you change the main character that was the focus of all the Bond movies for the last 50 + years. WHY?
+charlotte R. Van der Haer (House of Van der Haer) The background music is the instrumental version of "You Only Live Twice". I'm sure youtube has a video of Nancy Sinatra's version.
David Mason sounds almost just like Martin Freeman (after a few seconds he definitely starts having a different accent, though), and when I first him I had a little spaz attack.
The next bond should be a Kurdish man. Since the Kurds are the ones doing all the work fighting isis, which the west created. We are doing the fighting on the ground. I should be the next bond. A little bit of gym and I have Craig's build.
3:34 say, thats a nice suite. I want to be the first NIGERIAN james bond. If you want to see me look at my video on youtube. Its an audition for james bond movie
Is there any man on the planet who doesn't stand in front of the mirror in a new suit and straighten his tie and his cuffs thinking he's James Bond?
To me,
the best looking/style James Bond is Pierce Brosnan.
the best James Bond as a character is Sean Connery.
the best movies/best James Bond as acting performances are Daniel Craig.
Dniel Craig has a legit exquisite collection of cars and suits
NO one wears a suit like Danial Craig. No one. He just knows how to EXIST in a suit. Breath taking.
Truth. Out of the other Bond actors he’s definitely the most built. So the suits are tailored PERFECTLY around him
I like him 2nd best to Sean...as the 1st Neanderthal Bond....certainly preferable to Roger Moore's effeminate portrayal....
Craig looks like a stuffed sausage in the most recent movies. In QoS he looks immaculate, however.
Gabriel Macht aka Harvey Specter isn't too far off tbh.
It's funny how Bond is a fashion icon when Book Bond doesn't really make a big fuss about clothes. It's cars and breakfast that he's passionate about. The movies could start showing off some of the incredible meals Bond enjoys in the books.

Yeah , I was hooked also

I can smell the popcorn!!
Looks most like the character = Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan
Best overall portrayal of the character = Daniel Craig
All actors who played Bond were doing their job perfectly.Bond will never die.NEVER.
Daniel Craig looks the best followed by Sean Connery.
@James Williams "And, stop liking your own comments."....lol
Sean is 4" taller than Daniel...naturally bigger & stronger...if you put the 2 of them side by side at the same age you'd see the overwhelming difference....
007- best job to have in the world
The best in suits, fights, food and pretty ladies......

You're right ... on every count ! ... well done .

So True
When I got older and went 2 work .... well I spend a ton of money on tailored suits .... thanks 2 the bond suits .. and shirts !

Daniel Craig is the best JamesBond,imo and I have seen a lot of the old ones, I grew up watching those movies
+Azuluna357 Sean Connery is the best Bond, IMO.
Nope Sean Connery is.. nobody did it better.
nah daniel craig is the worst, he looks like a slob james bond, not really charismatic looking at all
@@hallucy2215 you must look like an 🐙 calling Craig a Slob
The names Bond...James Bond.
@Dr. Loomis when comees to James Bond it matters not to " or not to '''''''' James Bond you are not.
When Craig Is Wearing Tuxedo, Its Impossible Not To Call Him James Bond Instead of His Name
You only live twice is the best bond theme by far. Sinatra’s version and Barry’s instrumental are truly beautiful.
Dalton is my favourite Bond, but they don't mention him because he wore dreadfully ill-fitting suits! 😅
Ah Brioni, Brioni always the best
I hope that Brioni release the Brosnan and Craig suits and outfits like Orlebar Brown has done.
My favorite bonds were/is Daniel Craig, George Lazenby and Sean Connery.
Pierce Brosnan IS James Bond!
why do I need to follow Bond on facebook or twitter when i already do that on you tube and dont use facebook or twitter? its a redundant question, I know. But it had to be asked.
Amazing.The Bond style is the greatest.
Daniel Craig is The Ultimate Bond.Period.
Lindy Hemming isn't doing Skyfall? WTH?! She did every Bond costume since GoldenEye. argghh.
WE Won't David Gandy.yeeaahh. i think he would be cool for the part.perfect.
If he had acting skills he would be great. He's got that Bond look.
Those are some BIG scissors!
And yet they can make such intricate cuts!
I never knew that Bond's suit was so important to his character! 0.0
Let ME be James Bond! Cheers!
notice how they completely skipped Lazenby and Dalton in this video
I imagine it's because Lazenby (with the addittion of a few camp late 60s details, à la Italian Job) dressed exactly like Connery had- in fact, turning up to the audition in a Sinclair suit and Rolex was one of the things that won him the role in the first place. At the time there was no plan to make Bond move with the times, all they wanted to do was keep the same old successful formula, and so they did very little to change Bond's image or personality.

Heya. Way To Use Your Head. pastoral beam What do you think, guys...
Ironically, Bond's iconic tuxedo, martini, and cigarette were all invented in America.
Scott Adler The British have a problem letting go sometimes.

Thank you.
So where’s George Lazenby? Did this video have to be approved by Cubby Broccoli?
Connery > Craig!
Pierce Brosnan it is!!!!
Is the background song is You Only Live Twice Theme song!?
Unbelievable artists - Costume Designers and tailors. Fascinating.

Does anyone know what the book is at 2:43 ???
Oh dear lord the Safari suit I had almost forgotten that...
Figured it out. It is the instrumental version of "You only live twice." Great song all around. At first I was racking my brain thinking this was in one of the new Bond movies. The says a lot about the song that is transcends time.
it's all in the fabric, gents. tropical weight wools and cashmere.....and the tailoring too, fit is everything!
Glad they got Tom Ford in.
Does anyone know who the make of David Mason's eyewear is in this clip? They look like they may be by Garrett Leight. I love them.

Craig is great but a blonde bonde just doesn't cut it.
Brosnañ looks the best followed by Craig
According to Mr. Mason, they are a pair of Persol sunglasses with lenses switched.
nice good good 1000 very good janjear shi send

Very beautiful, posh clothes.
No Timothy Dalton or George Lazenby?
Can they make a bit a skirt and jacket for me?
Why no mention of Tom Ford? He's crucial to the new Bond having done both Quantum and Skyfall. What an odd choice for a new video.

thumbs up because thats the entire point of youtube!!!!!!!!!
No James Bond without Tuxedo.
i couldnt think of a person that doesnt, its almost natural.
Yea man...we all would love to be 007 in this life or the next, LOL

Who wouldn't want to be Bond?
