Well folks, you may not have his physique or his brains or his brawn, but you CAN have his sweater

Oh dear.

This video seems like a cry for help.

He needs a girlfriend/boyfriend.

Interesting to know who can dress like Bond. Nice channel. The sweater looks terrible on him though.

I learned from experience no matter how good clothes, jackets, and hats look on Sean Connery, Daniel Craig, Tom Selleck, Harrison Ford, etc... , they don’t always look good on normal folks. People don’t realize, film clothes are custom tailored to fit their stars.

I'm lucky enough I can pull off wearing their watches w/o looking like a tool.

Fit is 90% of looking good in clothes.

Real-life spies dress like bums and fly under the radar.

Movie spies wear $500 cashmere sweaters.

Funny world we live in.

He‘s a personal friend of mine and I can assure you that his wife Danielle is phantastic and very supportive to his hobby.
And she‘s wearing a 14060 on a Nato.

She wears a Rolex on a Nato....c'mon.

Sorry. I'm sure they're very nice. And you're a good friend for standing up for them.

He‘s actually often mistaken being a cosplayer- and he mentions it in the video.

But his entire theme is enjoying moments, where you feel a connection to our hero.
May it be by visiting one of the phantastic locations, experiencing a similar situation in your private life, owning a piece of clothing, a watch or a prop replica or just hanging out with another Bond fan and watch one of the old movies and have a serious discussion after it.

Many young Bond fans unfortunately ( and to my regret) emphasize on Bond Clothing only, but his scope is much wider.

I‘ll meet up with him and other Bond fans in London around the Royal Premiere and to me meeting up with likeminded people whom I know for years is a Bond moment that I am looking forward. And the new movie is not the most important part to me.

Sounds like fun. Enjoy your hobby.

There's no need to justify our pursuits. We're the crazy people who pay thousands for a watch and brag about it.

A friend of mine (former UK army) gets me the military used Goodthreads military sweater, which is the much more authentic Bond item imo.

And much cheaper

Well guys, I decided that if I can wear the James Bond Submariner I might as well sign up for the sweater

My wife forbade me buying Grady's blue 007 romper because she said she'd be damned if she wanted to walk around the house sexually aroused all day while I wore it.

I guess I could put the 007 sweater on over top to counter act or negate those intense emotions. I mean if anything could, that sweater would do it.

The sweater would have been nice if it had s regular crew or v neck. Not sure what is going on with this one but I do not like it

Also I'm of course slightly envious because I'm a stick figure and could never look like bond wearing this

Yes I agree,the neckline is a little strange ... I do however like the patches, military styling and who doesnt love cashmere and wool

Edit: I’m hardly a bond like figure either Bas

Q didn't approve the gear?

Yeah, that's a bit salty for what it is. I'm sure there's something else in their catalog that would suit you better.
