"...if I go to a James Bond gathering, what do I see? I see a lot of guys in the chino pants with the shirts that look like these..."

Damn you, Zaritsky, you cunning genius.
Came for the bond polos list, stayed for the sneaky bond action.
Another great video Dave. Agree on the Sunspel at #1, just recently bought another.. Top quality.
Yeah, it had to be....
Great video, David! I have to say, I need to wear shirts that do not fit quite so tightly because I own a security company and I carry a gun everyday. I need to wear shirts that do not "print" my handgun. I wear it concealed because I don't want to scare people. On the other hand I am prepared to help protect people around me. Now, I am not some cowboy who carries a gun to intimidate anyone and am highly trained to carry a weapon and use it if necessary to protect my family and friends and anyone around me. The point is that I have to wear clothes that allow me to move and still conceal my handgun.
I love your videos and agree with you on your choices here. I am so glad you chose the Fred Perry polo especially as I played tennis on my high school team and wore Fred Perry polos to play in back then. The fact that James Bond wore one only made it that much sweeter to wear while I played tennis against my opposing teams. So, thanks for that.
Just one more thing. I can't afford an Aston Martin to drive, but I can afford a Mercedes Benz AMG that will keep up with the Aston Martins that Craig drives as Bond. The styling of my CL 55 AMG is very similar to the Astons though is completely Mercedes Benz. When I drive it I totally feel Bondian with its performance and style.
So, once again, great video, I enjoy them and your choices as I continue to watch your videos! Well done, Sir!
I think any car can give you a rush if you are in the right frame of mind...and it sounds like you are! GREAT stuff!
As always David. Wonderful detail. Great clips. Excellent analysis. Your enthusiasm is so infectious. Thank you
Kind of you to say!
Excellent vlog! I can't believe you put the Spectre polo at number 7. I know how much you love the banded bottom. The Sunspel Polo certainly deserves to be number 1. It's unique but versatile, and it also has a great fit.
Exactly!
Sunspel all day long for me.
I have a few Sunspel polos a well as shirts and sweaters and the cut and quality are always fantastic.
I would of course love to own the Tom Ford Steve McQueen shawl collar cardigan though!
They are great pieces, but then they all are!
That sneak was intense, took me straight back to Thunderball!!
LOL....so intense!
Absolutley loved this. As soon as I saw at #7 the TF Spectre Polo, (which I think looks fantastic) I knew the #1 spot would go to the Sunspel polo, which is great and iconic. Again, great list couldnt agree more. Maybe a Top 007 series??? Keep ‘em coming!
Great video! Couldn’t agree more that the Riviera is #1 and you’ve sold me on picking up a Fred Perry! How about a Top 7 James Bond Footwear? Chukkas, sneakers, oxfords, etc
It's coming brother!
Pretty deep V, that's pretty deep.
so deep!
I really wish they would bring Banded Bottom Polos back. I am certain there is a huge demand out there. Great video as always David.
Many brands have, and it seems more every day!
I love the Sunspell Riviera polo, as well as the Tom Ford Spectre polo and the Fred Perry one from Thunderball. I would have personally put them in a different order but good choices David.
Would love to know your order. Varied opinions are super welcome!
@@TheBondExperience I personally (according to my personal taste) put my top 7 James Bond polos as follows:
7) the Dr No polo shirt, 6) the Tom Ford Quantum of Solace polo (purely because of the flaring at the bottom, it is not to my taste), 5) the Magnoli "Venice" polo shirt from Casino Royale, 4) the Olebar Brown "Thunderball" polo shirt, 3) the Fred Perry polo shirt from Thunderball, 2) the Tom Ford "Morocco" polo shirt from Spectre. The fit is perfect and like the banded bottom to it, I would definitely wear that and at number 1) the Casino Royale "Riviera" polo shirt. Again the fit is perfect and as you have said yourself it is iconic and the functionality is second to none.
Quantum of Solace has not just the best Bond clothing but probably the best men’s wardrobe in the history of cinema. Louise Frogley should have been retained. Absolute sartorial peak.
muds 112 it’s interesting to see other’s points of views. I happen to find Jany Temime far superior to others It was during her time, that many Bond’s fans entered the apparel game. Skyfall to be more specific.
Absolutely agree. QoS wardrobe was amazing
Interesting. Thanks. I’d never given much thought to that Fred Perry shirt because Fiona’s amazing dress always pulled my focus, so thanks for drawing my attention to it. That is a phenomenal polo.
The Sunspel for me too. I have a couple. Plus, Sunspel’s head office is in a town in the UK called Long Eaton, which is where I grew up. In addition, several members of my family worked there so it holds and even more personal connection.
Wow...you have some serious DNA there!
Nailed it.
:)
Of course not a big surprise that the Sunspel is your number one. I loved your story to go with it, because yes, it is one of those items that transcends Bond, a real invisible Bond moment. I had a few Sunspels years ago but after a while I ended up with an Orlebar Brown polo and never looked back. Nowadays that is my go-to casual look; jeans/chino, white or navy polo (or another color if I am feeling really frisky) and although I switched brands, it all started with that first Sunspel!
Of the seven in your video, I think I like the Fred Perry the best, just a classic style that never went away.
-Tyler
The Perry is a winner, no doubt!
Great video as always David ! And thanks for the suggestion on size regarding my purchase of the Diamonds Are Forever shirt ! :)
Happy to help!
You really can never go wrong with a good Fred Perry. I remember rewatching Thunderball a few years ago and realized that Bond had a Fred Perry, and that I had already acquired some Bond cool on my own without being aware. A true iconic brand.
Yep....a classic!
Was waiting for a vlog like this 👍👍👍
Thanks bruddah!
I do like the fact that you’re very descriptive about all the products
All fantastic, my everyday outfit is Levi’s and Polo. The long sleeve could also go with a beige Harrington and Sperrys for a TLD look. Another great video.
Thanks so much!
Aussie Merino Wool
“The Gift of Kings”
The finest wool on the planet 🌍 Sublime, extraordinary quality befitting a Bond polo.
Brilliant, entertaining vlog David and Danielle 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Cheers 🍻 🥂🐑
Will have to give them a look!
Lol I made my dad laugh the other day because I found an old shirt in my closet that looks exactly like the one Connery wore in that golf scene from Goldfinger. I also have a fedora so that added to it
LOL...perfect!
I personally liked number 10 the best from Spectre. Also the long sleeved in Casino.
They are all winners, for sure.
Great video! Although I don’t have those brands in my polo wardrobe, I have however some fitted navy polos that I often pair up with khaki, light blue or black chinos. I have to agree with you that Sunspel gives any man the opportunity to feel like Bond. Fun fact, while watching your video, I drew a ticket, at my store, to wait in line and the number that I luckily drew was 007. It seems that I have been chosen!😂
Anyway, great video! I might get that Sunspel shirt. Take care!
WOW, that is lucky!
Just got my Sunspel Riviera. Ordered it based on this video! Love it. (Just FYI: Got large I'm 6' 2" with 41" chest and 32" waist.. Ordered size L. But had to have tailored to make it fit properly (shortened, too). If I was to reorder, I'd go with a medium.)
Astounding video.
I love Sunspel. Even before I knew Bond wore them. They make incredible polos and tshirts in the Sea Island cotton
Awesome video! 😀👍
Thank you!
My favorite has to be the blue one from Casino Royale, I went shopping for one right after I saw that movie. No surprise it ended up number one on your list.
There is an army of us that have these... ;)
We gotta get more of these lists
Great video David! All the shirts look good on you , I love them all but the best one for me is the blue long sleeved from Casino Royale.
That's a favorite of mine as well...just so simple!
@@TheBondExperience, I agree with both Davids here, Zaritsky and Rixson, respectively. I have 4 or 5 long sleeved polo shirts. All but one of them are long sleeved Ralph Lauren Polo shirts. I guess that makes them "double Polo" shirts, LOL!
I keep looking at the grey Tom Ford jeans from the Bond 25 filming and trying to convince myself that they are worth the expense. Then again, when I found out that Daniel Craig was wearing Scotch and Soda jeans, I had to check them out. I liked them right away though their appeal to me has faded a bit as they are all "skinny jeans" and with size 13 shoes at my base, the "skinny jeans" effect makes my feet look absolutely huge. Regardless, after trying a pair, I didn't hesitate to grab 3 pairs of them, LOL!
I'd love to see a top footwear list! Or maybe top Bond cars. And I don't disagree with the Casino polo being number one. love it!
This will absolutely be a series...
Amazing vlog again. I just recently got the Sunspel polo in a Medium and it fits very well in the shoulder but seems very long. Will have to get the small next time.
Can't you just have the shirt tailored?
Tailoring is my friend, for sure...I have had a lot of long shirts that shortened an inch make all the difference.
I have two favorite companies for polos. For short sleeve my go to is a company called Ministry of Supply. Great fit and a classier look. For long sleeves I like a Swedish company oline called John Henric
Very cool....will check out Henric.
I’m headed to Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, and I just ordered the CR, Sunspel polo for the trip.
Thanks for another great vlog! Just ordered the Fred Perry after watching your count down. Previously purchased the Made In China version but returned it, but if it’s in your top 3 I’m willing to try the Made in England version. :)
Fantastic...I think you will love it!
I am so tempted to pick the Rivera polo right now......
Temptation is the spice of life...or is it pepper?
As they used to say “shirt by Fred, ‘nuff said..”
Nice to have some links for the shirts. If you were cross lite it would make the collars pop.
should i wear these polos with chinos or formal trouser???does bond wear them them formal trouser???
❤Cool video ❤
Thanks!
Hey David, an absolutely avid Bond Experience watcher...
Would love to see a
"Top Ten Bond Casual Wear"
"Top Ten Bond Sports Moments"
"Top Ten Bond Disguises"
"Top Ten Bond Faux Pas"
Any of them...all of them!
As you like it..
Hello David I agree totally with your video! Me too! My favourite is the riviera polo. I already want to buy another one. I actually have a question about how to care of the Riviera polo when you wash it. In my washing machine it says warm (100 degrees F) and cold (70 degrees F).. The polo shirt says that you have to wash it warm at 40 degrees celcius.. I want to preserve the color as much as I can. So, which temperature do you recommend me to wash it? 100 or 70? I'm really confused :(!
On the other hand. I'm really eager to buy the wool black polo or the long sleeve black riviera polo from sunspel also. And the last question is that if I use S on the riviera polo, do you recommend me to buy the S or XS of the linen O.B. Thunderball shirt? Thank you David so much for these videos and your attention :D
I am slightly embarrassed to say that I have no idea how it's washed...my wife is the expert there and she takes great care of my things for sure. Maybe its that magic washing machine thing? :)
YESSSSS! I totally agree with #1. I believe last year I asked you about this polo. That look jumped out at me when I watched that movie. I want that shirt. What shoes does he have with this outfit?
I believe they are Loakes!
@@TheBondExperience I looked up the shirt and it $135. Is there any place or site that sells it for less or is that it. I appreciate your vids and the attention to Daniel Greg's style.
You need to do a video of Sean Connery's romper that he wore in Goldfinger
So need to know more about the QOS polo project yo!
ajb007.co.uk/topic/49602/quantum-of-solace-bond-tom-ford-polo-update-in-post-440/
Just checked your Orlebar Brown from your visit in Siena. You called it the Orlebar Brown Sport. I tried to verify this with the OB website. Couldn´t find a "sport polo" without a zipper. If it´s really a OB-sport, this would be my No. 1 for the hot days. Can you reconfirm?
Easily the Casino Royale Sunspel long sleeve blue polo with the grey under T-shirt although the Thunderball black long sleeve polo looks great.
Both can easily be replicated on the cheap "Frugal Bond" . .
The Sunspel medium was a good fit but waaay too long. Might try the small next time.
You’re funny and
over the top kind of out there 007---.. really
Have you tried the Mallory Silk from OB? What do you think?
I have one, yes....they are amazing. I have it in a light grey
Who’s here after Lindy Hemming confirmed the long sleeve Casino Royale polo? ☝🏽
Sunspel Riveria: Size down.. Also label now says made in Portugal
Does anyone happen to have a link to the Fred Perry please? 🐹
Sorry David but you’re wrong when you talk about your Omega watch when you’re wearing the Venice long sleeve polo. Bond wears the same Omega Seamaster 300 he had been wearing throughout the casino scenes in Montenegro. You can even see it when Bond’s walking arm in arm through Venice with Vesper. The last scene he wore the Planet Ocean was when he wore the Riviera polo whilst getting his mission. from M in the Bahamas.
My ranking based on what’s shown:
1- TF Spectre’s Polo
2- OB Thunderball’s long sleeves
3- Sunspel CR’s polo
4- Fred Perry Thunderball’s polo
5- OB Dr No’s polo
6- TF QOS’ polo
7- Casino’s long sleeve polo. (would rank it even lower if possible)
Love this....thanks!
So many guys make the mistake of wearing clothes that are way too big for them. This tends to especially be the case with polo shirts.
Agreed....we see it all the time, right?
When I looked at the sunspel riviera polo on their website, the arms on the model looked quite longer than it looks on you:
www.sunspel.com/us/mens-cotton-riviera-polo-shirt-in-dusty-pink.html
Did they start to make them differently or something?
Moves (expresses) like Ben Stiller. :)
On purpose?
LOL....I have been called worse. ;)
Don’t take it bad :) all of them really nice shirts..
@@Capitan_Cavernicola_1 LOL...not at all! I totally see it.
thinking if only Craig and Connery wore polos out of all the Bonds. thinking.hmmm
No 5 - the Tom Ford QoS polo - looks too short on David. It looks like it's hanging over a belly. Unflattering, unnecessary - as David isn't fat - and it doesn't look like that on Craig in the movie.
Epilepsy at the beginning.. terrible..
Physique, Physique, Physique.
If you look like Bond, these Tom Ford suits and polo shirt will be wonderful. But then any ok ones will have same effect. Tom Ford clothing is just mediocre and overpriced. Their fragrance is great though.
Polo shirts always make a man look older. Or like a stupid golfer . Lol
Sad! A grown man acting like this!
Hi there, David I'm very interested in purchasing the quantum of solace. Polo If there is any left from that project that you will mention.
