I particularly liked the direct comparison shots between the $6600 and $240 look. It really shows how good research and shopping can get the right look for a fraction of the price.
I think that pulls on a cardigan could be repaired. I know for a fact that pulls on tie can be repaired and you won't see the difference. There is one place I know in NY that does it but I forgot the name and I'm sure there are lots of other places.
But I can dig the pain.

Glad to hear your Vesper was the genuine article! Of course you should drink on the job - just as our man does! {[]
After all, you can't really do a "Vesper on a budget" now can you?
Did your friend get his cardigan repaired? Did he bring it back to TF or maybe another tailor? I also believe it can be repaired...
I've learned over the years that there really isn't anything a master tailor cannot do. I could write a book on some of the things my old Italian tailor in the North End of Boston has done!
sorry if this question is redundant.. are there two pairs of levis worn in Qos? Mantis video says the pair in italy were sta-prest in almond? but on bondlifestyle and the other threads stated sta-prest 306 cream (referring to the motorcycle scene)? Are these the same or two different pairs?
would appreciated any info on where to obtain a pair or two
feel free to snuff me if im way to late to find a pair and should be hunting on ebay for them.. like the ted baker and 7 for all man kind originals ??
Great video! I'm still wondering where you found the Greene Perla shirt though.
Hmm, now I'm a bit jealous. I got my Harrington jacket from Warrior Clothing on the advice of the article, now I want the Lands End. The Warrior Clothing has an elastic waist and is a bit poofy all around.
"You're both, what's the expression? Damaged goods."
Great questions! Let me try to answer some...the Alfani short is available from time to time on Ebay. I will look at the tag when I get home to copy down the details I have on it. The Ted Baker pants are a color called MINK and although they haven't been offered for some time I have heard one or two have popped up on Ebay. They are linen but will look at the exact detail on the tags when I get home.
And as far as an AJB exclusive on the next video podcast, I will tell you this...we move away from fashion to focus on a more physical aspect to the James Bond lifestyle with a SPECIAL guest star!

Hi David,
I asked above if the polo shirt you wore was a Tom Ford but you didn't reply?

Very nice work David! - As you might expect a little feedback -
no disrespect to yourself and John, cause you both clearly know what you are doing. However, a little health disclaimer might be a good idea!
If anyone else is planning to start a new fitness programme I advise to always check with their GP first and get a general check up on their overall well being, unless they take part in a grueling regular sport already. Proper workouts such as these - even building it up in steady long term increments, with warm ups cardio and cool downs, can be quite a shock to the system esp if there has been no major exercise for a while. Not to mention the dietary side of things!
As an aside, bad luck on the taste of the protein! - Some of them def taste better than others. I recommend Vanilla as the best flavour, it usually doesn't go as foul depending on the mix than say chocolate or Strawberry.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
Believe it or not, these podcasts take NO time to do. About an hour to film and 20 mins or less to edit. That's it...and they are fun and a pleasure to do. Many times I can do several in a week but will only release one at a time. We filmed the 4th one today but it wont be shown until next Sunday. The 5th and 6th are schedule to be filmed while I am on vacation...etc. We have some uber great ones coming out shortly. Some which will reveal some very very cool things that I know many of you will be interested in.
Excellent job David. I just watched the podcasts for the first time last night. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and look forward to subsequent efforts. Cheers!

I hope your friend's cardi is feeling better!
Was that a TF polo shirt you were wearing with the 7 For All Mankind jeans?

The Ted Baker trousers, are they available via website or ebay or where. Also, what color are they?
Thanks

A simply question:
Is Ted Baker pants made 100% linen? 50% coton 50% linen?
Congratulations for your video podcasts. When a Spanish translation?

"Come on my little double-o's! Daniel Craig does these leg lifts in his sleep!"
But they are made with 56% Cotton, 31% Linen, 13% Nylon.

It would break my heart if you stopped Bonding one day. You're the Snoop Dogg of JB - a role model.
Do I assume that a podcast "How to sound like Bond: linguistics and accent with a dialect coach" for the non-Brit ajbers is just around the corner???

How do you find time to make these podcasts on a weekly basis? You must be extremely dedicated to JB!
