David, disregard any negative comments from others. I respect the time you put into these podcasts.

Question: What size Bond peacoat did you go with? I'm not sure what size to go with. I'm 6'1 and got the size 50 TF bond cardigan and my suit size is 42R. Any help is appreciated. Keep up the good work!!!

I think a large or XL would work...certainly not a medium (which is the size I am going with...)

[jamesbondlifestyle]

Actually, this is not my job and I don't get paid...believe it or not, I do this for fun and for other Bond fans out there. I am actually the president of an advertising agency but this keeps my creative juices flowing. Hope everyone is enjoying these...and I DO enjoy making them, of course. :)

Which jacket is the one in the commercial for Skyfall where he's holding the elephant gun and he's in Scotland? thats my fave.

I'm 6'2", 40" chest, slim, but broad shouldered. Should I get a large as well? Thanks for any advice.

Blah, blah, blah!

Billy Reid is selling the Bond peacoat again! I love these podcasts!

I wouldn't call him a "loser," but the tattoos seemed strange and out of place to me too. More power to him.

Ironically, hobbyists usually do a better job with things like this than the guys who get paid. Your collection of jackets is top notch.

[Night Fox]

Well said.

Your an awesome guy David and very much appreciated on here.

David, love your videos, stumbled across your website when trying to find out what this jacket was! However, in these times, I'm not sure I can treat myself like this! Could you reccomend a cheaper 'alternative' to this jacket, and perhaps do another frugal bond for skyfall? Thanks, and carry on making these videos, they're brilliant!

I saw the movie last saturday, I knew leaving the cinema that I had to know more about the jacket. Now I'm on the waiting list for at Bond peacoat - fingers crossed!

Cool video with extra inside knowledge - I think it's awesome that Daniel Craig himself bought the jackets years in advance.
