- In this video I REVIEW 'Beyond Bond' items from SUNSPEL, the brand that makes the famous Casino Royale Riviera polo. How does a brand like this evolve their Bond heritage and offer us 007 fans items that one could see Bond wearing? I discuss the fit, the fabric, the feel, and the function (the Four F's) and give YOU ideas of what to pair these items with.

When David is not running an advertising and marketing company, his hobby is The Bond Experience which is primarily a video blog where he discusses Bond experiences and the people and brands that help to create those experiences...
The mantra of living like Bond, one moment at a time emanates from a concept of experiencing the joy of collecting small moments in life that add up to amazing journeys and stories....whether it's through style, locations, literature, fitness, and the movies themselves the world of Bond is explored through its people and their stories.
Ultimately though, The Bond Experience channel is a celebration of the James Bond franchise and the many people that form a true community. Our core mission is to create a strong connection in the Bond community amongst all the fans, regardless of interest or demographic.

That silk ribbed polo is unreal.
Always appreciate your videos, David! Cheers, man!
David, your humor in this one was A+. I wasn't expecting to laugh. Thanks my friend.
David, that pink polo fits you so much better than the skin tight one that you were wearing in the beginning. Just some friendly advice. Love your channel and love Sunspel.
Went to the website and almost passed out when I saw the prices lol. Maybe you can negotiate an 80 percent off discount code for this channel?
I believe the Bond Lifestyle has a discount code!
It’s for people that have oodles of money. I own quite a few pieces and some of them are ridiculously expensive. Inflation certainly hasn’t helped.
Totally agree… I’ve got a few but they are definately not worth the money …. Where are they made ?
How much was that box amigo ?

I’ve seen a few on Vinted go for around £35-40. But they are normally used but in good shape.
Such a great surprise! Thank you, David.
My pleasure!
And when you wash and dry, they will shrink a size... he fails to mention that. Size up unless you dry clean everything
Wash and then lay them out to dry: they should dry pretty quickly.
If the fabric dries too stiff, I would put it in the dryer on a delicate cycle for 10 minutes max.
Love Sunspel! I bought a light blue toweling polo from Sunspel that has a ribbed collar and no breast pocket, that I felt was more screen accurate than the Orlebar Brown one. I did have to shorten the sleeves just a bit though.
I know the one! It’s a beaut.
Thank you David for inspiring us, this is an amazing video one day I will have all James Bond clothes, already have some jackets from Royale Filmwear, and im not being ironic or joking. Don’t stop keep going
It’s all about getting a few pieces you really enjoy.
Those are some really beautiful shirts. I like the way each one was made of a different type of material which makes for different looks. I don't think the jacket needs to be shortened however I would shorten the sleeves a bit. This video shows your smooth technique, you are a natural.
I bought two of the polos, they arrived last week and fit perfectly so thank you for the sizing advice 😀👍
David, I got some laughs out of this one.
At last, I know your measurements, so I can relate to the sizes !
Fortunately similar to mine...haha.
Appreciate the video..thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oddly, I just ordered a cotton/linen shirt... anxious to see how it fits & feels.
Thanks for the video David. Finally ordered the Riviera Polo and looking forward to the Seersucker cap.
Linen fits you perfectly. I love the first shirt (pale pink towelling) but its shoulder seams are popping and giving you villainous spikes (for lack of a better description) ha!
Also loving the necklines on these. As a hairy guy I am self conscious about my chest hair popping out of the neck but regular polos are often cut too low in the neck, or the top button is too high.
I was shocked to discover a few years ago that I grew up only a couple of miles at most from the Sunspel factory in Long Eaton England. A small place called Sandiacre. In fact I worked in a place when I first left school only meters from Sunspel & I never new it was there.
Bon voyage on your trip to the Côte d'Azur!
Thanks so much!
Hi David
I love the polos and pants. Given the way the jacket was fitting -I probably wouldn't go for it unless it could be altered significantly enough to keep the shoulders from looking a bit odd when articulating your arms and the chest area in my opinion wasn't draping well. I’d probably just find a tailor and go the MTM route for the jacket.
I do like the color combination and the overall style! At the very least it’s a point of inspiration for ideas when having something made.
Great style and good fitting. Suit jacket fits okay up top but too narrow in middle
Oh some real stuff it wouldn't surprise me if David was a black belt in karate and a actual spy
Shhhhh 🤫
Great video! I need to look into a few of those items!!
Apart from an Omega Seamaster 300 (GoldenEye Version), the Sunspel Riviera Navy Polo was my first Bond sartorial purchase. I don't think I had worn anything that luxurious before. You could skimp and buy something cheaper that looks the part but in this case, not much compares to a well fitting Sunspel Polo.
Sunpel makes great stuff and you'd be well served wearing their products. However, for the price of their polos and shirts, you can go with a made to measure program and get a garment made to your body measurements and can customize many things like the collar, fabric, hem, etc. I don't see how Sunpel is worth it when what they sell is off the rack for custom prices. Why not just go custom?
I just place the order 😀👍🏻. David. If you are James Bond number one fan. I’m the second one 😀😀👏🏻. I have all the suits and clothing from No Time To Die. 😀😀
David, is the blue polo you're wearing at the very beginning of the video the original mesh fabric version of the Riviera polo or the newer Sea Island Cotton Riviera version?
“Fit is King” in my opinion 👍
I've never taken the plunge with the Sunspel polo, mainly because I'm conflicted on what size to get. David, I see youre wearing a small with a 40-41" chest, yet their size chart shows a small fitting 37-39". Can anyone else confirm how these fit? Thanks!
I have the medium Navy Sunspel polo and I am 41 chest with 33 waist which fits me well. The sizing on the Navy polo is very generous. I also have a Black in a large which is a slim fit. The quality of cotton is fantastic.
For comparison, I’m 5’6” athletic build and get suit jackets sized 38-40 short. My waist is 32-33. I purchased the navy Riviera Polo in Medium. It was ever-so slightly roomy and long out of the box but shrunk to fit perfectly after wife accidentally put it in the dryer 😮. Sleeves hit mid-bicep and overall length shrunk up just enough that I didn’t have to visit my tailor. I would not fit into a Small.
@@j.ericvalencia6048 good info, thanks!
@@Atticus75 thanks!
Very nice selection
The riveria polo, they say was cut for Daniel Craig. He’s short, I’m not. I hope the next Bond is 6´4”, so the future clothes, fit me better.
I do have a selection from Sunspel and N Peal though.
I'm watching Quantum at the moment! It's been a while it's better than No time to Die and Spectre
Great video David
'Size Matters Not' Star Wars Faux Pas , there David🤔
“Transcends the world of bond”
Just remember that ANYTHING you buy from UK or Europe in general you have to size up. EXCEPT for shoes! Size down on shoes.
001st👍👍
David i think that you are too huge now from your gym exercise so you should level up a size. Medium will be the best for you not small.
The 1st and last and only Bond cliche piece required of a Bond aficionado is the Walther PPK. 9mm Kurtz (.380) or .22 or even airsoft for those living in the no freedoms world.
Dang, I gotta get that Sean Connery!14:05 Thanks for sharing. 🫶🏼
