A great example that clothes do not make a man a gentleman...

...and, by the same token, a real gentleman is always a gentleman, even without his clothes.

This scene from Die Another Day illustrates this point exactly. There have been times where I was not exactly dressed for the location I was in. I was dirty, scruffy and probably had an odor. Nevertheless, I conducted myself as a gentleman by possessing a sense of thorough decency, and doing the right thing.

No amount of wealth or power can create a gentleman. Real men, real style is only achieved only by those who honestly endeavor to refine their character and manners.

Before and after, Bond is the same man. Of course a bottle of 1961 Bollinger doesn't hurt either. 🍾
