Daniel Craigs Casino Royale Riviera Polo from Sunspel | Unboxing

In this video, I'm thrilled to finally share the unboxing of a special piece I've been eagerly waiting for: the Sunspel Riviera Polo, made famous by Daniel Craig's James Bond in the 2006 film Casino Royale. This iconic polo shirt is celebrated for its classic design, premium quality, and the timeless style it brings to any wardrobe.
Join me as I unbox the Sunspel Riviera Polo, showcasing its luxurious materials, impeccable craftsmanship, and the effortless elegance that has made it a staple in the James Bond wardrobe. Whether you're a fan of timeless fashion, a James Bond enthusiast, or simply curious about Sunspel's craftsmanship, this video is for you!
Sunspel say:
The Sunspel name has been synonymous with the quintessential style of James Bond ever since we tailored one of our original polo shirts for Daniel Craig to wear in his role as 007 in Casino Royale.
Handsome, poised and difficult to argue with, our Riviera Polo Shirt shares more than a few of Bond’s finer qualities. When Academy Award winning costume designer, Lindy Hemming, asked us to design a polo to be worn by Daniel Craig in his role as James Bond in Casino Royale, we began with a style that we have been making since the 1950s. We tailored it to Craig’s exact measurements: slimming the fit across the chest and making the arms slightly shorter to flatter his physique and allow him to move cleanly and easily in action sequences.
The Riviera Polo Shirt is made from our, warp knit cotton fabric invented in the 1950s by Peter Hill, the grandson of the company’s founder. Unsatisfied with the pique polo shirts that were available at the time, he sought to create a version that would be cool and comfortable to wear in the hot summer sun of the Riviera. He drew on the knowledge of the local industry to develop a fabric on lace making machines that was soft, light and breathable.
The entire Riviera polo shirt - including the collar and the single chest pocket - is made from the mesh fabric. The result is a polo that has an understated, practical feel without decoration or showiness. In essence, the Riviera polo is a shirt that is just as suitable for a man of action as it is for a man of style.
In Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig wears several Sunspel shirts. Lindy Hemming explains why:
“There have been so many different characters in film and theatre that I have dressed in Sunspel vests, t-shirts and underwear because they are classic, timeless and beautifully made. This time, dressing Daniel Craig as the new James Bond, I thought that it would be a perfect collaboration of quality and Britishness to ask Sunspel to create all his t-shirts, polo shirts and underwear, which they duly did so excellently. He looks very sexy and happy in their clothing.” - Lindy Hemming
Thanks for watching, Mark.
