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 the review. You tried hyping it up, but at 345$ these are silly
Agreed, very overpriced.
For that price your better of buying crye g3 or uf pros if ur actually looking for real combat/ shooting pants
These are catered for dr's, lawyers, ceo's that can afford for 1 hr of pay or for super fans that want to look & feel like 007. The cost is not just for the product but the branding. It is just like people buying athletic sports wear to look like a famous athletes.
Hes a collector. So who cares
@@GT-bx1jp NPeal shouldn't call them combat trousers then it makes it sound they're ment for combat they should've just called them the 007 trousers
Gotta admit, when I woke up this morning, I didn't expect to watch a review about combat britches!
Always like to zig rather than zag!
*Woke up this morning*
Got myself a gun
Mama always said I´d be the... Chosen One.
Was not expecting this to be an outfit you could fully source but with this and Danner announcements it seems expectations will be exceeded. Looking forward to review.
ENJOY!
@@TheBondExperience i am going broke dude. got the watch, ordering the danner boots, the chukkas as well, now the pants?
@@louiscyfer6944 And that's the power of advertising. It gets you to buy stuff you don't need with money you don't have. Fun to look at, but just that.
@@firearmsstudent the only thing you need is food and water.the rest is wants. i am also kidding. i got the pagani version of the watch for a 100 bucks and the danner boots are not expensive. i can also afford it.
@@louiscyfer6944 Good, I was wondering how much the boots were.
It's an update on Connery's combat gear from the Volcano climax in YOLT
That was Sean's fifth and so called final film (at the time) and there's a similar vibe in some ways with NTTD
Both look epic saving the world extravaganzas and finishes the Craig era with that Connery pattern for his films coming full circle
REALLU cogent and good points!
Always appreciate these detailed reviews, David. For a company that specializes in high end cashmere, I’ll be very curious to see their price point for a cotton trouser.
I think they’re £225
@@jryalls Yeah its ridiculous... You can get a good tactical pant for 90 bucks...
@@daskalbdashupfte Luxury brands run those price points. Even. nice pair of jeans doesnt go for 90 bucks.
I was on the fence about size after reviewing the websites sizing guide and gambled on the size=Medium. Glad I did, it’s the correct fit for me at 5’10” 172 lbs and a 33 waist (if I’m looking for some wriggle room). No belt necessary. Mesomorph body type. Super fast shipping from GB, in my hands in less than a week.
I'm 5'7'' and 30 in waist, the S size can be good to me?
Hi David nice content as always - starting to believe the film might happen now,
I like to practice stealth budget Bond,. I got an surplus genuine navy "woolly pully" for £10 and added it to my high st Henley and long owned grey Swedish hiking cargo trousers and boots, swapped my Swiss diving watch to the NATO strap £5 and bingo full Bond look for £15 and only I know (or geeks like us!)
All the best from U.K. 🇬🇧
Sounds like you are all decked out!
I'd cut the drawstrings off the sweater. Looks silly, imo... Otherwise I love the outfit!
I agree. Makes a classy jumper look like a cheap hoodie
They should of just given him Crye Precision G3’s - thats what he would have been issued.
No kidding far more functional then these dresspants with pointless zippers and off set pockets :/ were g3s simple but usefull design
I was thinking uf pro all terrains
Cool pants. Not thrilled with the sneakers combo. I think Chelsea boots would have nailed it. Great video.
And the “tactical functionality” specify a multi-button fly?? Those guys have not the faintest idea what tactical really means 🤪🤪🤪
Is it true that all N.Peal clothing is manufactured in China?
I can't believe there is a public demand for "excitement" in men's pants.
In the UK we'd call it bollocks!
Great video. I'm sorry but those pants are ridiculous and extremely non-functional with so many buttons and complicated...everything. Zippers on the inside of the lower leg? THOSE won't make ANY noise when you're creeping up on your imaginary SPECTRE bad guys!
I love the black polo combo !! It looks perfect for wearing any day ! Then the blue shirt, fits perfect for any casual day. I love it !
Thanks so much!
These look great David, I would love a pair of these 'combat' pants myself! Although for any urban commandos out there, these pants are only for show, don't wear them on an operation...there's nothing tactical about press studs!
Too nice to wear in combat! LOL
@@TheBondExperience Very true, for social and corporate op's only...Gucci kit! They look good on you mate, hope they serve you well.
@@cPIP36 haha I was thinking throughout the video the face on my ex-platoon sergeant when I tell him I'll be leaving the wire in a cashmere sweater and 100% cotton "tactical" pants. He''ll laugh and then PT the crap out of me.
@@star42 The PT punishment would be justified! lol
@@star42 The PT punishment would be justified! lol
I’ll order a pair out of curiosity, they have interesting detailing and pocket placement that elevates these into something special and stylish that no-one else offers.
Climbing pants like the Mammut Eisfeld Advanced SO have the same sort of vibe but with truly bullet proof materials.
Love the sweater as well.
**Update- Friday, Sept. 24
The pants arrived today.
- I ordered the gift wrap option and it came in a black box with the 007 logo in black on top, the box wrapped in black ribbon-very nice.
- The pants surprise you with their weight, the material is on the stiff side.
- I''m 5'11"/200 lbs and normally wear size 35/36 (35-36" waist) and 30-32" inseam in most pants and the sz. L fit well, close to the fit on Daniel Craig in the movie. (slimmer in the thigh/hips)
Good:
- Pants fit well
- Nice shade of medium grey
- Quite heavy, possibly durable material/sturdy construction
- Lots of detailing in zippers/pockets
Bad:
- The material lets these down IMO, very similar to my Orlebar Brown Griffon trousers in cotton, but in a thicker fabric. The OB's have an unusual, stiff material that wrinkles easily and has absolutely NO stretch- not 1mm, much like these combat pants.
The size Large fits very well overall with just enough room in the waist, hips and thighs (again, similar to the fit on DC) but I would be worried about shrinkage in the wash (100% cotton) making them uncomfortable or worse, unwearable. I don't like dry cleaning.
These trousers need to be a blend with some degree of stretch to allow more mobility when bending the knees and making them more shrink resistant.
There is also a warning tag that the material will lose color in the wash. So, lose colour and shrink?
- Generic zippers- My made in Canada Wings & Horns hoodies use RiRi zippers from Switzerland, many other pieces of clothing-YKK/RiRi. Does it matter? To me, yes.
- While looking inside the pants I came across a made in China label. I assumed that a "higher-end" British Heritage brand would make these in the UK. $385 CAD for a British branded-pair of trousers not made in England? No thanks.
N.Peal should be transparent and state clearly where these pants are made to give the consumer the option, I don't see this info on any of
their products, nothing, not even "imported".
Is anything N. Peal made in the UK? There is no mention on the website that I could find so buyer beware.
Private White, Lavenham and SEH Kelly offer made in the UK for a not unreasonable price, maybe N. Peal could have contracted PW to make these pants- they have done so for other companies, I would have paid the premium.
- I've been picking off white lint and loose threads since I opened the box, totally unacceptable at this price. Is this the GAP?
These will be going back, the James Bond marketing isn't important enough for me and I really wanted to like these, what a shame.
Save your money and time- don't bother.
I wear Triple Aught Design for trekking, and they offer similar style pants to these N.peal but in cotton ripstop fabrics. Worth looking into.
Great review
These pants are clearly made to be a fashion piece not actual combat/ shooting or treking pants that are made and designed for hard use
I absolutely love this look for it’s purpose in the film, but I’m afraid it looks a bit too much like a costume for real life wear.
Agreed. When he's standing next to the picture of Dan Craig, it's clear it just doesn't translate. I maintain that the sweater is absolutely fabulous but the whole "tactical" vibe is cartoonish. Remove the silly gloves and replace the pants with a rust brown chino, add a dark brown boat shoe or loafer. If we actually are insisting upon the tactical vibe, do a similarly colored dark navy chino, add wheat nubuck Timberland boots and stop there.
Cosplay is fine man. You're just part of the older generation.
#truth!
TBH, I wish the designers went for something more functional and pragmatic as opposed to “style” over substance. They could have got something easily accessible that would make Bond look great. There are better combat pants out there which are practical and stylish without looking like a Bond wannabe/will never be. Pentagon make some great combat trousers that are not only comfortable and functional but they look good. Kuhl (available at REI) also make great outdoors combat inspired trousers. If you’re going OTT then Crye Precision make the authentic combat pants (G3, G4) but you’re looking at $300-400 for them and they are the real deal, “tacti-cool”. That said, it pays to shop around and see what works for you. Anyhow, I hope folks enjoy the film, Daniel Craig’s last outing as James Bond.
I bet you weren’t complaining about style over substance when Ana de Armas was fighting. 😂
I'm not into fashion, clothes are purely a necessity for me. But I just saw the movie and the pants got my attention. Bond is all about style over function. From the cars he drives, to his beloved Walther PPK. Getting him into some Crye Precision gear would just cheapen the character.
Anyway, it's a movie and all the clothes the main characters wear are tailor-made for them, so nothing you buy will look as good, unless you know a good tailor.
@@scratchy996 in his retirement he definitely went more casual and down market in both his villa and wardrobe. I think that’s a good thing. These pants, not even the real deal, are just rampant capitalism and pretty silly overall. Hard pass.
@@emeeul I didn't notice the capitalism in the pants, it was the looks that caught my eyes.
Next time I will watch out for capitalistic pants.
@@scratchy996 Lol thanks for pedantry. Marketing of mediocre products based on image and nostalgia. That said, cool pants for someone more concerned with looks than functionality.
Can I ask how tall you are? The sizing chart says the inseam is 30" for all sizes. Usually longer than 30 I need to get them hemmed but with all the detail on the legs that would be difficult for these. If a person's legs are longer it wouldn't really matter if the length was short if they were wearing something long like boots underneath.
I love these already! Two things I'm curious about though...
1. The cost. I hope they don't slap a crazy high price tag on these.
2. How they wash up. Being 100% cotton I would expect them to shrink some. Being 6' tall with a 30" waist I would go for the small in hopes that they wouldn't shrink up to capris level.
Seems pre-shrunk to me, and I think you will be happy with the costs. :)
@@TheBondExperience thanks David, great informative video BTW. Looking forward to the release!
What is the price going to be?
That info coming soon!
I will be out of state when this flick comes out. We already made plans for date night in Tulsa with dinner and a movie. My wife and I can’t wait……
On a side note: I still have my authentic USAF commando sweater in olive drab. I retired in 2000 and my sweater still fits as it did back in the day.
They should've looked at uf pro all terrains combat pants but with almost the same look as the npeals
suttirat larlarb didn't dream up anything original. these pants are a combination of British Army lightweight barracks trousers and West German Border Guard over pants.
Hugeely overpriced tbh. £245 for a fashion pair of trousers that won’t actually do a job…better off with Fjallraven tbh.
James Bind dies sacrifices himself. Felix dies and James Bond has a young child a girl. What a rubbish movie.
It to "dis" or hate this video, but there are companies that have made tactical pants for years now!! 511 is one of them, as well as others....
This is a video of the beat tactical pants:
ruclips.net/video/tTc2pL-N9kY/видео.html
There is not a lot to get excited about and after five minutes I switched off I mean how much can you say about a pair of overpriced combat trousers or pants as Americans say and some blue jumper .
These are going to be cosplay only lol. They look awesome in their role but will be hideous out in the wild.
Maybe I would wear some of this stuff if the movie was any good. Unfortunately it was garbage.
What is the sweater. I dont care about the pants, but the jumper is cool. What is it? Anyone please
these pants need a tactile turtleneck..the tactleneck. The mock turtleneck charcoal would be great with this or a black thermal from american apparel if you want more casual
Hi David, I really enjoy your channel and the amount of passion you have for the 007 universe and the real world items made for it.
I have worn several pairs of these kinds of pants before.
I'd go with a navy button down short sleeved shirt (plus a Bond nato strap watch), or, as you have with the cashmere golf shirt - and look perfectly stylish, AND NOT BE cosplay or tacti-fool.
Should of just got some Fjallraven trousers, not designer crap.
So this guy has gray hair and he dresses exactly like someone else and he's like at a good point in his life..
Thank you for the review. But my belly says: " pants or me."
I was waiting for the price at the end; I'd imagine David would drop it like a ton of brick 😲
I think they’re £225
Awesome! I was looking for these pants and wondering if they were British military spec or made exclusively for the film? Were they made by the costume dept. and not N Peal originally? I have a pair of black British military surplus M65 tactical pants (a'la Brosnan in GoldenEye or Dalton in TLD) but they're made of ripstop material. I tend to be a bit rough on cloths and would wear them doing outdoorsy stuff like hiking and rock climbing. I just came back from a big hike in Utah, Zion national park. Are these N Peal pants sturdy or just really for urban wear?
Sturdy but would go hiking but maybe not true combat.
@@TheBondExperience Well there goes my Labor Day plans!
I’m not sure how tactical it is to have pants which require lots of button-fiddling when nature calls.
You gotta watch out for those burrs!
It's fairly standard...but hey, when you gotta go...you gotta go!
Love the pants and the black polo combo. But i just have one question, what about the straps? Do you just leave them hanging down or can you hide them somewhere?
The grey polo/ blue chinos/ loafers is a great look and maybe one I’ve pinched from you 😉
£245? lol i work in security not banking hahahaha
I'll pass. The clothes in this movie suck as much as the plot.
$345.00?!?! Are you kidding me?!
He is Bond so should be referred to as trousers, pants are undergarments.
I miss the James Bond navy blue suits, he wore it once in the movie
Porhaps u could me new bond,oh no wait your america
Not really practical. 5.11 would be better
I don’t like the ‘Han Solo’ holster style. M.
Got a question, I’m looking to ether buy the N.Peal sweater or the RGT jacket, I am only getting one or the other and wearing it to the premier, which one?
The RGT jacket is a better value proposition and will be more versatile compared to the N.Peal sweater.
Hi David, what size are those pants?
well that is the beauty of been an Israeli army reservist, not many uniform regulations , i been in operational reserve duty whit the Spectre Sanders boots and the NPeal Spectre sweater under my uniform ,great feeling indeed
Perfect!
Pants might be good for a bushcrafting adventure in the White Mountains. I need durable. they will take abuse and I need durable.
I wouldn't go through thorns in these...too nice. :)
Love the costume as it's based on WWII British military uniforms but Bond is missing a critical piece of kit, body armor.
I Thought the same watching the film. If he wore a vest it might’ve ended differently
Great for cosplay, these 👍
kinda hard to believe you are a size s!
The PANTS!!!! Finally! Thank you David! I searched almost every week and found nothing....
Enjoy, my friend!
Tactical but stylish clothing. Spectacular
Just amazing pants. Great detail loved it!
And as a fan of James bond I wonder Bond visiting Japan again in film. Maybe in No time to die…
Let's help so!
With that black polo those pants are damn slick. I've been waiting to see who made those, thanks David!
My pleasure!
Tried the sweater and immediately found it wasn’t for me.. this is interesting, depending on how it looks in person.
Always has to work for the individual...I agree.
This week just keeps giving . It's coming people it's coming yaaayyyyy.
It's been an amazing week!
I was gonna order a pair but no way in hell am i paying $350 for a pair of pants. Wht a damn rip off
Helikons or Carhartts will do the job without the "cashmere" price.
Those tabs make the trousers a pass. They look horrible. The rest of the trousers looks good. With the polo it looks great, but notice the waist is now covered.
usually worn with a belt
@@TheBondExperience Thanks for the reply. What's the inseam of your small?
What about the type of braces worn in the movie & how do they connect on these pants?
Fair question....not 100% sure yet.
You missed the braces!
511 do NOT make noise.
Clothes don't make the man
Wish they were black
NPEAL must be doing something right cos the combat trousers, braces and henley sweater all sold out
Respectfully, Your military(hollywood version) description for these pants are far from reality- the pant is far less combat and more Flight uniform design. The front placement cargo pocket, the tapered fit are more requirements for flight or cramped cockpit use, not necessarily physical or ground combat. Suggest get expert advice to characterize accurately in combat terms. Also cotton is far too weak to qualify these for rough use, save for if these are for tropical use where temp and humidity demands breathability. These pants will tear with only minimum interaction with military hardware. Its suitable for cosplay I will agree.
Is that even real tactical pants they used in the movie. Me I would rather go for real tactical pants, then pants that made to look like real tactical pants . The kind I would go for IF it don't cost a arm and a leg or too rich for my blood, are the kinds CIA SAD wear out in the filed. $345 is a real crazy price, NO regular joe is going waste that kind of money. They might buy a suit at Macy for that price once in a blue moon.
Tactical grandpa pants
Chinese copies sooner
New sub....I was looking for info on " Born from the Experience " pants", and your video popped up. Ironically I have a pair that look very similar. Great video, straight shooter.
Oooohhh I just realised why Superman wears his pants over his trousers... Had his spaceship fallen in England he wouldn't have been as confused about his attire..
white top..... very tactical.
front of leg pocket.... not good when you're laid on your front, usually on the side of leg for a reason.
but as a fashion item, nice.
😂i love this!
For $385 you get a made in China pants that simply replicates what's seen in the movie without the actual quality of a "combat pants". For the price you can buy actual combat pants from Crye Precision, Arctery'x LEAF, Patagonia, and Beyond Clothing. For a more sleek pair that looks much closer to these, Arctery'x, Mammut, Triple Aught Design, Kittanica, 5.11, and Royal Robins offer pants deisgned for hiking, rock climbing, and tactical operations with truly bullet-proof materials.
For a commando mission the black shirt would seem much more logical than the white worn in the film
Not a bad point!
For a commando mission, Crye Precision, or UF Pro would seem more logical, than a designer brand’s “combat” outfit. Probably much cheaper too… 😎
@thebondexperience
Sorry to trouble you but have some inconsistencies in measurements between the site and when calling the store that only has an xs left. Was wondering since you have a small if it's at all possible to measure the waist when laid flat and also the thigh measurement from the bottom of crotch straight across if possible
Any help is appreciated greatly thanks
I have a genuine issue Royal Navy jumper. Superb quality.
Excellent!
It's called a navy woolley pulley , for info shipmate ;)
Hi David, great video. Have the pants been tailored in any way, how is the standard inseam on the small for someone 5’9”?
With the way that zip is placed, these would be very hard to hem. I’m curious of the length from the opposite side (tall).
NO tailoring whatsoever. I am 5'9" as well...
@@TheBondExperience Please can you tell me the 'real' waist measurement of the S size, if you lay them flat and measure across? From the thighs and seat measurements in the N Peal chart, it looks like S would be my size too but the waist is far too small...
UFpro or Crye. Everything else is cosplay. I could see these being worn very casually in a hipster/grunge/alternative outfit with vans or converse with a flanel shirt on top.
Just get UFPRO pants if you're into real shooting rather than LARPing. Thank me later.
2021 style 😎
Urban Camo and Cargo Pants have been a thing since the "Sting" pants, Parachute Pants, and Bugle Boys of the mid 80's. What is cool now is "Grey Man" wear that is hidden, blend in Tactical. This pant would be more "Grey Man" outside of the side clinch pulls.
Super dorky
James Bond’s underpants. Great, will watch with interest. Will this get me a Bond girl ?
From owning a few N.Peal products I’m genuinely surprised they made these tactical cotton trousers. They don’t have any experience producing this kind of trouser so it’s impressive they got it so right!
I only wish it was made in superfine merino too 😄
Lovely looking pants - but buttons for the fly?
Perish the thought that I'd get thrust into a shootout with some of the best armed henchmen in the world and I REALLY needed to take a pee - behind cover, would definitely prefer a zip.
I bought the trousers and they look great. But the buttons are brutal. I’ve got other, actual combat/tactical trousers, and not one employs a button fly. So to me it seems like an affectation that reduces user-friendliness.
Still, great review as usual, David.
Hello David! Could NTTD pull out like Topgun did 2 days ago?
Gosh, I hope not...but anything is possible.
@@TheBondExperience 😞😓
Look sharp
ridiculous
It should have been a NATO-sweater with insignias, we never got to see Craig in any naval uniforms.
As a woman, I'm going to have to buy the XS and then spend another $100 to get them tailored. Come on N.Pleal, make an XXS.
They look better with the black Polo. The watch looks fantastic. Now all you need are the Crockett & Jones Islay Boots from Skyfall to finish off the look.
