James Bond Costume

James Bond 007

James Bond the character was created by Ian Fleming back in 1953. The legend that is James Bond first burst onto our screens in “Dr No” in the year 1962. While the torch of the legend that is Bond has been passed down a line of highly respected actors, aspects of his character have always remained the same.

What makes a Bond movie?

Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig have fought, romanced, raced and charmed their way into our hearts. Shaken but never stirred, we expect explosions, the inventive methods for dispatching expendables, beautiful Bond girls, exotic settings, narcissistic megalomaniac villains, not to mention those seemingly impossible gadgets. All these wonderful ingredients are what truly make a Bond movie. We want them all wrapped up in a larger than life plot where we know our hero will survive.

Q and M

Q never fails to supply Bond with fold-up aircrafts, submersible cars, weapons that masquerade as pens and a whole range of gadgets sure to get him out of a tight spot. M is always there to brief Bond on his mission at the beginning and supply a patsy for his indescretions in the closing scenes.

What makes Bond?

Along with his combat skills, marksmanship, cool head in a crisis and indisputable charm with the ladies, there are aspects of Bond’s character that are synonymous with 007, and remain a constant in all the films. Bond is always impecably dressed. He has a favourite car, favourite weapon and he always has his martinis prepared in the same way. A complicated fight scene in which our hero snatches victory from the jaws of defeat will always culminate in an appropriate one liner. Coming from anyone else it would most likely seem just tactless. It works because he is Bond and we would be dissapointed if it were missing.

How to look like Bond

To look like James Bond requires a sharp suit, Walther pistol and a slick hair cut. If you think you can step into those demanding shoes and assume the personality that is 007, we have put together an ensemble we think is worthy of Commander Bond himself. Whether you fancy yourself as a Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore or indeed any of those other worthy agents, this outfit is pure Bond.

How to become Bond

The aspects of Bond that cannot be purchased include: effortless charm, a roguish glint in the eye, and the self-confidence of a man who acts like he owns the world. We have a useful tip for you that might help conjure up this state of mind:

The Bond family motto is ‘Orbit Non Sufficit’. Translated from the Latin, it means “The World is not Enough”.

James Bond Tuexdo Suit

A sharp looking suit provides the backbone of your James Bond costume. Tuxedo jacket and formal trousers are a classic James Bond signature outfit. This particular suit comes with the shirt, tie and cummerbund, so most of your outfit is taken care of by this one suit.

UK James Bond

Check out Amazon.co.uk for a Toy Prop P99 Pistol that comes with a detachable silencer.

Walther Pistol

Experts will know that throughout the Bond films, the Walther pistol has been a favourite of James Bond. Sean Connery carried a Walther PPK, which only gave way to the PP9 during the “Bondmanship” of Pierce Brosnan. Discerning Bond fans will no doubt have noticed that this is infact a Walther P99. When the chips are down, we think James would be happy to shoot a bad guy with whatever weapon he had to hand. The version available in the UK is a great prop toy gun which includes a silencer.

Verdict

This is a great pistol for teaming with a James Bond Costume. The Walther P99 is a close match for the PPK or PP9 which is Bond’s customary weapon of choice. It’s going to give your Bond outfit a real touch of authenticity. The UK version is a prop gun that comes with a silencer and is available for international shipping.

Costumes are always more comfortable with the adition of a prop. With this pistol, you can whip out your weapon at every photo opportunity. Who wouldn’t want their photo taken with James Bond?
