The Frugal Bond Casino Royale Leather Jacket | Head to Head Review against the original!

The Frugal Bond is back and with one of the most requested items in the sartorial world of Bond...the leather jacket seen in the Casino Royale Miami Airport scene! In this video I conduct a full REVIEW of the Royale Filmwear version of the jacket and even have it go head to head with my Armani jacket seen in the film! As a BONUS I also discuss frugal versions of the undershirt and trousers that Bond wears in the same scenes to complete the entire look. But does the frugal approach work for this outfit? We answer this question and more in this detailed video...

Love that Frugal Bond is back - impeccable timing as ever Mr Zaritsky!

One word to describe this video....YES👍
I'm really looking forward to more of 'em, Thanks David.

My wife just bought me the Bolivia Harrington Jacket from Quantum of Solace for Christmas and it is just Incredible. The fit and tailoring is amazing. When I put it on, it literally fits just like it does on Daniel Craig . It made me feel confident in getting additional items from Royale Filmwear. I've had a few friends compliment me on it and one non Bond fan asked me for a link to get one for himself. I also think the brown of the Royale jacket in your video may look closer in color to the way it looks in the film, post color filtering of the film.

Doubt very much the film production company paid full retail price for the jacket. The fact that Daniel Love has recreated this for £/$400 shows how much the "label" hikes the price level so high. Leather definitely needs to be worn in, review it again after a year ... Or set off a sprinkler system next time you're in an airport 😎😄

Frugal bond videos are so good, among my favourites.

I have three items from Royal Filmwear, two jackets and the French ski pants from Spectre. All three items are absolutely spot on! They are not just extremely close to the original, but they’re just great garments. Well-made, durable and fit really well Daniel Love keeps hitting it out of the park every time. Believe me when I say durable because I really beat the crap out of my clothing. I've even wore the specter Solden jacket cross-country skiing. Put a few layers underneath and it's just right! You can overheat wearing a regular ski jacket, so the Royal Filmier one is perfect for it.

And your original has a 17 year head start with regards to the leather fading and collar rigidity. I've always been happy with Daniel Love's quality

This video is hilarious. Did "Replica David" come from Royale Filmwear also? lol

What’s the size of the screen worn one? It actually looks bigger than the medium royal film one on you (in the shoulders and arms).

My jacket came today. Nine days from Australia to the US is pretty fast. I was nervous as hell ordering a leather jacket from another country, especially since the next size up was already sold out. I really didn’t want to go through the hassle or expense of shipping a jacket to Australia. As soon as it came I hurriedly cut open the box and put it on. I zipped it up and breathed a huge sigh of relief. It fits perfectly. Shoulders fit? Check. Shoulders are the most important thing to fit on a man’s jacket. Chest fits? Check. Sleeve length correct? Check. Back length correct? Check. It is a cropped jacket. The lamb skin leather is buttery soft. If you have never had a lamb skin jacket, you won’t believe how soft this leather is. The leather is also very thin. This jacket is definitely for looks and not warmth. When the temperature drops, you will need a warmer jacket or coat. But that means you can wear this jacket almost three seasons out of the year as it could be worn on cool summer nights. As soon as I checked out the fit I pressed the sides of the collar down. Mine stayed down in a very screen accurate manner right out of the box. It doesn’t try to keep standing straight up the way the ones David was wearing seemed to do. The rear of the collar will stay up. I am 6’3” and weigh 195 pounds. Yes, I used to weigh 225 back in the day. I would say I have a short torso and long legs. I wear 36x32 or 36x34 jean’s depending on how accurately they are made. The jacket I ordered is a large. Back when I weighed 225, I would have had to have an extra large. This jacket is great. I am going to get a lot of pleasure wearing this one. Daniel Love knocked this one out of the park. Great job, Daniel.

Back to the good old days of reviewing Frugal Bond content.

That jacket looks amazing! I am so glad that the frugal Bond episodes are back. This is what introduced me to this channel years ago. Cheers!

[davidnorris]

Looks just like Steve McQeen's (Hilts/Cooler King's) jacket in 'The Great Escape'. Maybe that was the inspiration?

[Cest_Moi]

Nope, the zippers killed it for me. And I need it to be as supple as supple can be supple, it needs to be more supple. LOL!! This was fun! Although, it was not until today, that I got a little bit of Indiana Jones vibe from the outfit.

[Christopher_Stead]

After all that working out, I hope your medium Supply Jacket still fits you! 😄

[biascd]

I do hope this become a trend that Daniel Love is working into more pieces. I always thought that the Matchless jacket and Spectre Cucinelli chino pants both needed to be redone by him.

6:32 Oh look. There are two of you. Two Davids. Lucky Me.... 😂 (drunkenly rambles in french).

In Moonraker when Jaws smiles at the girl with pigtails after the cable car crash, she smiles back (she was wearing braces right!???!)
Can anyone confirm this!? I swear she did as that was the joke… if not iam living in a parallel universe….😮‼️‼️

Frugal Bond option for the Planet Ocean would be the Orient Mako. It's not a copy of the Planet Ocean, but it gives similar look and it's from a good brand at that price range.

great investment in the screen-used jacket David
