I don’t want to get into any discussion, just my opinion:
I‘d find it rather ill-fitting if some people knew the name of the brand and deliberately held it back for whatever reason whilst at the same time always talking about how the Bond-fans are ONE BIG community sharing the same passion…
The gripe it that it actually was known a while back, said it was known in videos, said couldnt tell, said there was an embargo (meaning it couldnt be shipped to certain countries) which is not true. Then worn in multiple content videos, interviews, etc.
So led to think it was kept a secret in order to produce content (which we all love & are grateful for) but the way it was handled probably not the best way.
Good people, just probably coulda been handled differently.
I mean this with no hostility, I was trying not to name names bc I dont want to come off as ungrateful or rude but its referring to dz with the bond experience in regards to my previous posts. He does unbelievably great work and as a hobby just because he loves bond so i feel like it probably isnt fair for me to feel a tad bummed with how it was handled bc he does great work for us all, couldnt help but feel that way just a little though.
Again, no hostility here, just having a convo. Hope that helps!
There’s a bigger picture here and whilst it may have not been made common knowledge when they were first found, there was a very good reason as to why.
Thanks, praise and positive responses are all that’s needed.
The item isn’t limited or discontinued, they’re cheap, available and a nice winter project for those picking them up.
"We coulda had them long ago" - Sure but the movie came out in the States 33 days ago. We didn't need to have every last item from the movie a year ago.
Happy to be corrected, but I think the extent of DZ's comments about whether the brand was known was "not publicly." Anything beyond that was speculation.
I saw that these were revealed and ran to this thread to see "55 new posts" :D
I think the bodybuilding shorts are 100% on brand. Lifting heavy weights has been an essential part of Craig Bond's lifestyle since the beginning so they make perfect sense.
Definitely a good point. And for those who don't know, Jed North is actually on the less douchey end of the spectrum when it comes to fitness industry brands.
Can’t answer your question, but per the Amazon reviews, sizing can be inconsistent within the brand. Caveat emptor and enjoy the project, gents. After this reveal, I’ll stick to swim-specific alternatives.
Yep. I got an email from them about 30 minutes ago. It would seem Jed North has oversold their supply. They were showing available in every size in navy when I purchased mine. Bummer indeed! Hopefully they're restocked as they seem to be a staple piece in their collection.

Im guessing the real reason is to protect certain people from not getting in trouble

The person who discovered it shared it today on Instagram!

Exactly. Comical stuff really, but good to finally know. 🤣
Okay...so this just keeps getting better....
Trying to type this message with a straight face...
I went into my PayPal account to make a payment and I saw a list of recent transactions...
I thought I had fraud on my account....
It said I made a purchase today to a company called "CURIOUS BEAVER"...took me a second to realize it was jed north / these shorts.
How is this a Bond brand??
Nothing wrong with a curious beaver lol 😂

Is Gym Shark on the more douchey end by any chance?
I really want to comment on this one...but the politically correct police would cancel me for sure haha
haha 🤣
So glad these aren't $350 OB shorts. I will use these all the time. They look perfect for running.
I'm almost certain I saw these shorts suggested in a thread many months ago. Can anyone else recall?
guys can anyone comment on the sizing of these shorts , for a 96cm waist - i just purchased xl but will only arrive to me in december

I would describe them as 'Refined Douche', like a posh version of Tap Out gear.
😂 😂 😂 😂
I suspect a bunch of folks are about to get an email that will reignite the anger over this one...
Sold out?
