The Bond Experience (Page 42 of 42)

David and Joe!

Just wanted to say great job on the live stream today! It's exactly what we all needed during these challenging times. The videos at the end, with everyone contributing from around the world, showed how connected we all really are. Thank you for the escape this afternoon!

It was a good show with wonderful prizes, just a shame I didn’t win any 

Don’t get me started on that S&W answer. I said Colt .45 and was right.  It’s not my fault Bond can’t ID a gun right in front of him correctly

.................................

All the guns in Dr No are identified. He used a PP and Browning, which was supposed to be the PPK of course.  Oh and a Colt 1911, which his PP morphed into when he shot at the dragon. Same 1911 Dent used in fact. Continuity was great back then     Although the same thing happens in 1999 too with Brozza. 

I bet the oxfords not brogues explanation in the Kingsman armoury scene drives you equally as nuts

An enlightening interview with Simon Waterson who trained Daniel Craig in FIVE Bond films and who has experience working with a host of celebrities. Hear about Simon's process, his philosophy on health and fitness, and his advice for ALL of us!

I guess I am convinced that the Barbour Graham is the jacket Bond wears when he arrives in Cuba. Which version? That remains to be seen.

One thing I couldn't tell from your video, David, was how the blue works against the black of the Tommy Bahama shirt. In everything I've seen so far, including your review, I find an issue with the color:

On the one hand, there doesn't seem enough contrast between the blue and the black for these colors to work together.

On the other hand, the colors don't seem close enough to pair well for a near-monochrome effect. Navy and black can work, despite what many say. But here? I am unpersuaded.

What's your thought from seeing the fabrics IRL?

I'd also be curious what others think about how these pieces work or don't work together.. It just seems like a very strange jacket to pair with the TB catalina IMO.

Great video David, I’m going to pull the trigger on this but will maybe wait for confirmation as to which version he wears - no doubt the price will rocket then!

Got to say the black and blue colours didn’t jar with me, though I usually try to avoid them together.

David- just watched the latest video on the Cuba jacket and enjoyed it like all your videos.

I laughed at the cinema stand you have in your room and use as the backdrop. It’s huge!  Like having a TV studio set in your house. Love it.

Keep up the good work.

Wouldn't be the first time that happened. At Haiti he also pull a black Y3 jacket to match his navy TF polo shirt.

I know I'm super late to the party but I'm going to buy a Sunspel Riviera Polo and am curious about sizing. I have the same measurements as David (40 chest, 31 Waist) and am 6ft 0in. I believe he recommends the Small, but in reading the sizing guide on Mason and Sons I'm worried that the small will be too tight. Will the polo shrink at all? If so I'd be really worried about a small, but I also don't want an unfitted polo either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

David, I know you take mediums and smalls in different tops. I'm wondering why you went with the medium here especially when it was so big.

I'm a 37" chest, 31" waist  and I go for Small in the Sunspel Riviera. They do shrink over time. I think a Medium would be better for you personally.
