Dear Hugo and Sonya, this is the kind of knowledge that would be passed on from father to son! Thank you ever so much for making these videos.
Tanks a lot for your appreciation ! Hugo & Sonya
Good boid you nailed it. Now that I know this precious knowledge, I intend to pass it on to my sons. Sadly, I may pretend that I knew this all along. Hugo and Sonya, thank you for putting this up. FYI: shoe shining very important to pass on to your sons.
@@hugojacomet428 Any good Indian brand you recommend
Why is this channel not more famous? It should have millions of subscribers b/c this is the REAL/FOUNDATIONAL gentlemen's fashion channel (yes, shots fired). Very informational. More people should know of this. Thanks Hugo Jacomet!
Thank you so much Scott ! Actually this channel is still very young and we are working hard to develop it with quality content. But it's very encouraging for us to read this type of comment. Very much appreciated. Cheers, Hugo
I've been enjoying Sven's "Gazette" channel quite a bit after having just discovered it. This video appeared in my recommend and I'm so glad it did. Subscribed. Thank you Hugo.
For me too, the most reliable, easy listening, down to earth, humble and above all, absolute top quality classes about good fashion.
@@shiranduarte Merci! Hugo
@@MarcMercier1971 Merci Marc! Very much appreciated. Hugo
I stumbled across this video completely accidentally, but seeing someone as knowledgeable as this chap is always enlightening and enjoyable.
Thanks, I'm the chap ! Hugo
7 years later and I'm still enjoying your videos. Merci !
Just discovered this channel...I am completely blown away by the knowledge and presentation.
That's very kind of you. Thank you for your appreciation, really. Yours, Hugo & Sonya
This is very helpful, because I’m over 40 but no one has ever explained these differences and terminology to me before.
Wonderful to know. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hugo
I am grateful for the knowledge shared! My son is 5 years old. God willing I am granted life to see my son grow up, I can share this knowledge with him and he can hand it up to his children!
Incredible and beautiful, Juan. Hugo and Sonya
I keep coming to rewatch this video, because the presentation is so dazzling. Pure classy from the presenters to the materials presented. One of the finest talks I have ever seen. Thank You Hugo & Sonya
Thank you Godfrey, you are very kind and supportive ! Hugo & Sonya
Sonya's face and reaction at around 17:33 is priceless
Hahaha you are right! She's priceless as a person anyway (this is why I married her!). Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS LOL!!!!!!!!!! yes, I noticed her face..... LOL!!! I replayed that part 3 times.
Lol
*Scrolls to that time to see it for myself*
That shoe in her hand is beautiful!
I really can't tell who has the better hair!
The guy visits a better solon 😋
Hhhaahhaaa !!

Congratulations again Hugo, I'm also happy to see Sonia in your videos... you two look great together!
Thanks Percy ! Hugo
Hugo and Sonya, love your enthusiasm. I'm outfitting my first suit and I got bit by the sartorial bug! As a "young" (30yo) scientist, dress and fashion has never been my strong suit; I've worn cheap sneakers and t-shirts all my life. Can't describe how confident and unexpectedly sharp I looked yesterday at the initial measuring. Never knew I could look this good!!! Love the content and keep it up!
Just saw this tremendously uplifting comment. Good for you and thanks so much. Hugo
It is very interesting to listen and learned new things. Thanks to Mr. Hugo and Sonya
Thank you Alexander for your comment. Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
Adding history makes videos much more enjoyable. Thank you Hugo, very informative!!!
Thank you for your support ! Hugo
Wow, this has got to be the most detailed satorial channel I've come across on UA-cam. The way you take your time to explain everything is just awesome. Definitely subscribing.
Thank you Austine for your appreciation and encouragements. Cheers, Hugo
Spending a "snow day" in NY today curled up with my wife and learning about shoes from you - many thanks for all this info!
You are more than welcome ! Hugo
Once I watched a video from Hugo, I subscribed in a trice. The authenticity and expertise is evident. So many upstarts on UA-cam, passing themselves off as authorities in the fashion world; they even market brands. Glad I found this channel. The insight is pristine.
I'm so glad to read this. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Hugo & Sonya
Thank you Hugo and Sonya! I'm watching these "shoe talks" with so much interest. I love the precision and generosity of your explanations regarding the different styles and their histories. You two have me thoroughly engaged with this subject and are giving me the knowledge to shop for shoes more thoughtfully and with clearer intent. This is so valuable.
Your words mean a lot. Thank you very much for your comment. Hugo and Sonya
Well said. It’s very thorough information that is much needed. I am a 36 year old female raising a 12 year old son to take care of what he has so he can be prepared for the nicer, more quality shoes and attire.
This was the most enjoyable nineteen minutes and fourteen seconds I have invested on UA-cam. Monsieur Jacomet and Ms. Nicholson shared their knowledge in a memorable manner. My thanks to both of you.
What a memorable comment. Thank you so much. ~Hugo and Sonya
After watching UA-cam for more than ten years, this is the first time that I want to comment in a video.
Very good job, I absolutely loved the thorough explanation and the affable presenters:)
This is one of the highest compliments and you deserve a big thanks ! Very glad you're here. Hugo
Just found this channel and what a joy to watch and learn about great craftsmanship and style.
Oh thank you sir, what a pleasure to read this. Welcome to Sartorial Talks ! Hugo
You are both so amazing. I could spend the whole day in your class. I keep learning a lot. Thank you
Wonderful to read Omondi, thank you ! Sonya and Hugo
Thank you, Hugo, for acknowledging something that I would say a very broad topic in a very simple and plain manner. This has been my new favourite series and hopefully, i will learn more from you in the upcoming future.
Thank you so much Sir for your kind words ! Hugo
The Sunday window stare is an honored tradition the world over.
Hahaha I didn't know that. Cheers, Hugo
I think you are becoming my favorite channel on youtube, cant wait for more knowledge from you
We are so glad to read this! Thank you for your appreciation and your support. Hugo & Sonya
I'm very happy to say that teens (boys and girls) at Jenks High School, in Jenks, OK , have brought the Oxford shoe out of the 1900s. They are wearing Oxfords with boot cut jeans, and all manner of casual clothes, even shorts.
I love their look. It makes guys and girls, alike, look so stylish but fun.
I personally love Oxfords and own a few pair. It is fun to see people wear them on a daily basis. Good thing you are here to advise!
Many thanks Mel for your interesting and kind words. It is fun we agree! Cheers, Sonya & Hugo
Magnificent resource of knowledge. Thank you!

Grazie Francisco ! Hugo
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve shown this talk to a man who really needs to get a grip and he is hooked. Thank you 🙏🏽
You are very welcome. Glad it helped you and this gentleman. Hugo

Sartorial Talks is an accidental discovery of mine. There is so much of history and content lessons in each and every video that they produce, that it needs to be watched multiple times to digest thoroughly. I just love it. Thank you so very much.
Joy to read your comment, thanks Deba ! Hugo

Thank you for your kind words Justin. Sonya & Hugo
I always enjoy Hugh. He appreciates and delights in luxury products, but without any pretentiousness. That is an amazing balance to maintain, a humble man who appreciates luxury items. Plus he had the wisdom to marry Sonya…… God bless them both.
Thanks Roger. Marrying Sonya is undoubtedly the best thing I did in my entire life 😁! All my best, Hugo

For a shoe maker and teacher of shoe making I thank you for this informative lesson!
Happy to see you message and thank you for your contribution to the craft ! Hugo
Thanks for sharing your great knowledge.
Welcome and thanks for watching. Sonya & Hugo
I just want to discuss what you define as an 'austerity brogue' at the start. Here in London people would simply define the first shoe as a 'plain cap toe oxford'. To be called a brogue, a shoe requires 'brogueing', that is to say holes. To achieve brogueing, it is necessary to do the holes/punches on an extra layer of leather (otherwise you have holes in your shoe), that is why it is often done on the cap toe: you have a first layer and a second added on which the holes are punched. This requires more leather to be used. To achieve this effect without using so much leather (as would be required in times of austerity) and obtain an - austerity brogue -, the punching, stitching and detailing is all done on the same layer, trying to recreate the look , but without the use of extra layers of leather and also calling the lining into play to match colour, so that the holes don't have different colour ! I hope you will consider this and perhaps obtain your thoughts.
Dear William, thanks for your comment and your question. Actually I made a little mistake in the video as I show a plain cap toe oxford (as you rightly said) and not an Austerity Brogue. An "Austerity Brogue" is a shoe with nothing but a wingtip pattern on the upper. No perforations, pinking, or medallions. So it's true that It’s technically not a Brogue as there are no perforations. This is why, I suppose, the word "Austerity" is used also (which means "extreme plainness and simplicity of style or appearance"). Very strange indeed I agree, Cheers ! Hugo
Dear Hugo, thanks for your kind reply and your points made. The word 'austerity' always reminds me of the 1920s depression and I've always thought perhaps that is when the design came about. All the best,
Dear Hugo, thanks for your videos and for sharing your fascinating knowledge with us. Could you sometime cover the issue of making/wearing a bespoke suit for/by a man using a wheelchair? In general, how to adapt the suit to any type of body. I have NEVER seen this topic discussed. Thanks again.
Dear Antonio, what an interesting question indeed ! I personally know a man (Adriano Cifonelli, the father of Lorenzo) who is paraplegic and who is extremely elegant. The jacket is not a problem. The most difficult part are the trousers (and more precisely how to measure them and with which material to make them considering that the back will rarely see the light). I promise I'm going to dig this question. Cheers, Hugo
Hugo and Sonya, thank you for this excellent video! The first 4.5 minutes provides a great perspecitve on today's market and the balance of the video covers oxfords nicely. Seeing the handsome wholecut shoe starting me thinking about the application of patina, which leads to other topics which could be spinoffs in regard to shoes, including shoe care and how to match shoes with the rest of your wardrobe. I look forward to this series and others. Well done!
Thanks Mike for your comment and your suggestions ! Very appreciated. Sonya and Hugo.
Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts here, Mike, and I hope you try the wholecut ! Also, shoe care would be a great topic to cover. ~Sonya
This was just so fascinating to watch! I learned so much from this. Thank you for sharing :)
Very glad you're here ! Sonya & Hugo
Very informative video. Alot of education and history about mens shoes.
And Sonya looks hot! Her facial expressions are intriguing.
Thank you ! Hugo & Sonya
You both inspire my wife and I to be more elegant. Thank you. Could you suggest any women’s Oxford shoe company’s?
Thanks Rick, we are so happy to read this. Try the brand Lottusse for some decent women's oxfords or derbys. If you happen to write to them for some advice on the sizing don't forget to mention Sonya and Parisian Gentleman. You'll be well treated. Cheers, Hugo
I love those black and white Spectator shoes and the slight red accent adds to the look even more!
For your information we have an incredible deal for our readers / followers with Cobbler Union here : parisiangentleman.co.uk/2018/10/11/cobbler-union-reinvents-luxury-shoes-an-unprecedented-limited-edition-sale/
Cheers, Hugo
Absolutely the best video on the topic.
Very kind and we appreciate your reply ! Hugo and Sonya
But you didn't mention the main thing that makes an Oxford. The closed lacing. Should have compared it to a derby to clearly show the difference.
Of course it should have been compared great point. Hugo
i really love shoes, and mine friends thought i am crazy :(
and you are really passionate, i can feel your passion radiating from mine screen , hah
Thank you Sir and I know how the shoe passion can become addictive indeed ! Yours, Hugo
Great video and great content. I love the clarity you explain this things and you can tell that this clarity comes from the fact that you love indeed what you do. Congratulations.
It's true what you state Adrain, thank you. Hugo
Very interesting video, Hugo! I had to laugh when you mentioned feeling embarrassed while standing in front of a shoe store for hours on end which resulted in you changing your routine and to view shoes on a Sunday when the shop was closed. Then the internet took off which allows us to view and learn about fine shoes without feeling embarrassed, unless of course at times such as when my wife stumbles upon me whilst I’m learning from sources such as your fine productions of “Sartorial Talks”. Thanks for taking the time to share your extensive knowledge within this community. Keep up the great work! Ed
Hahahaha, you feel embarrassed when your wife catch you looking in secret at Sartorial Talks ?? Times are changing my friend. For the best. Thanks for your comment and kindness. Hugo
Sonya, could you make a video on suits for women? I am interested in the differences with men's.
I can try to put something together in the future. Thank you, ~Sonya
Which brand is the wholecut Oxford, absolutely gorgeous
It's from Cobbler Union in Atlanta. Cheers, Hugo
Absolutely gorgeous shoe!
Thanks For Sharing Mister Hugo.Cobbler Union Is A Fantastic Brand Shoes 👍 I Love It
Excellent knowledge,
Wonderful presentation.
Loved it to the core.
Absolutely divine to read your comment. Sonya
So nice to hear Sonya tell us about the shoes!
Even nicer to read your comment. ~Sonya
@@SARTORIALTALKS You are very welcome my Lady!x
What is the collar called on your dress shirts?
Good morning Chris, my shirts are bespoke shirts (custom made for me) by Marol in Bologna. My collar is a semi-spread collar and is quite long (in order to match with my head which is quite large). I hope I answered your question. Cheers ! Hugo
Thank you, you have real style. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Chris! Hugo
Actually, this knowledge should be tought at universities before any other scientific topic, since personality at the end matters at least as much as any science (..)
Thank you Andrea for your strong statement. Hugo & Sonya
Visually and audibly very efficient and clearly moderated. I could easily follow. 5 stars from my side.
Very much appreciated ! Hugo
Thanks for letting Sonya speak. Very nice of you.
I stand correctly, and hope I've improved. Hugo
