Es ist wohl eine Traumvorstellung einen guten Laden zu finden, bei dem man Anzüge kauft und man nicht danach zum Schneidern rennen muss, damit er wie angegossen sitzt, sondern egal welchen Anzug man anprobiert, die Größe immer zuverlässig passt. Wenn ich Größe M nehme soll mir auch jeder Anzug in M passen... Zum Glück ist es bei Distorted People so. Egal welchen Hoodie, welches Shirt alles passt perfekt in Größe m.
This chap speaks with authority, he speaks with clarity and he speaks with passion. If you’re new to the world of bespoke clothing you could NOT be in better hands. If there were any doubt as to his credentials, take a look at the very first bespoke commission he’s wearing in this video. It looks splendid, it’s improved with age and is proof that if you buy cheap you buy twice. Fantastic! I’m a very happy subscriber.
I am a young american man in the early half of my career in banking in Manhattan. You have inspired me to upgrade my wardrobe. I carry myself with more confidence now. Thank you
When he said that suit was from 2007, that made my mind up. That suit is 12 years old and still looks impeccable. My next suit will be bespoke. No more off the rack for me.
@@tangerinetech5300 2000? you wish. a truly bespoke suit starts in the thousands as every single detail is custom. maybe 2000 for a made to measure suit which is not bespoke
I too am floored, when Mr. Hugo mentioned the suit he was wearing was his first Bespoke suit my eyes studied the image closely. This is 2018 and the jacket fits great shoulders are not exaggerated I then went back to other video to look at the jackets and ties. I noticed Mr.Hugo has a unique way of wearing his ties a subtle imperfection in the way that is displayed. This man speaks of individuals in the mens fashion industry the same way sports enthusiasts speak of general managers, coaches, assistant coaches and players of sports teams (knowledge and passion).
Wow, there are so many great tailors to explore and learn about. But what I really enjoyed was you talking about how the tailoring experience is a very personal engagement.
This video is of particular importance for young people. And any still 'youthful' person watching this and perhaps reading the comments section, can totally trust in the statement early on in the video regarding the true eventual costs of highest quality attire: it IS substantially less expensive over time to purchase high quality in the first place, and, you will in any event make better impressions all along the way too. I'm not trying to be a snob about it, just letting you young people know, that if you are ever stuck trying to decide whether or not to spend on that something that you desire but which seems almost out of reach - don't waste too much time, just reach. You will NEVER regret it.
This guy's knowledge, experience, passion and taste are so admirable. His body language, dressing sense, choice of words, say it all. His suit, colour of the tie and the way he's worn it, cuff-links are just a few to show his class. The ease with which he speaks in this attire is just incredible. Even a person who can't afford such things in life will be inspired when he listens to him.
Good Lord, this video popped up out of nowhere tonight, and I cannot believe my eyes. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone look so good in a suit. My god, this is just breathtaking to see this. And to think it's just a simple charcoal gray suit with a lighter gray tie. The fit is just SO GOOD!! Perfect coloring! Oh, the power of simplicity and quality.....WOW!!!!
Thanks Anthony you're very kind. The suit you are talking about in in fact the first bespoke suit of my life (by Cifonelli Paris) made in 2007 (12 years ago). I still wear it often although my wardrobe has greatly developed since. Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you, Hugo. Even 12 years ago...that suit is stunning! That was just quite a good lesson -- and visual lesson too, -- on how it's really done when done well. Cheers!
I was looking forward to watching a new video of yours. As usual, this one was amazing! I learn so much from you. I'm at the stage of learning about this wonderful but complex world of bespoke tailoring, before commissioning my first bespoke suit. Thanks for shedding light on this! Cheers from the UK!
Thank you Simon and in case you need more precise advice don't hesitate to write to redaction@parisiangentleman.fr or to send a message on our Instagram. Cheers ! Hugo
you have an amazing Channel and your very knowledgeable bout the sartorial art. Please keep doing a great job and educate us about this passion. Well done !
The pursuit of fashion may seem trivial to some. However your artistic taste adds a flavor that as a western man, I have not seen very often. It’s art in a utilitarian manner- I love this... I think any reasonable man can see this sincerity within you, And more so take away something that can only add depth and quality to ones life.. thank you for sharing these experiences sir. I’m intrigued and hopeful for men’s fashion to grow here in the west.. keep pushing dear friend.
The pursuit of fashion can be a bit trivial. The measured pursuit of style is worthwhile. Mr. Jacomet is right from the beginning when he says that tailoring is a difficult artistic path. I've sewn for 20 years and have made more dress shirts, ties, and suits than I can remember. I've studied online with Sir Andrew Ramroop, who's the managing director at Maurice Sedwell on Savile Row. With all that time and effort, I will never in my lifetime say I'm a true bespoke tailor. There are nuances that can only be learned at the side of a bespoke tailor. I'll never have that. I can make a well-fitting, stylish garment but it's not best in world. However, my sewing has taught me what to look for, how to distinguish good from bad, and how to improve upon and enjoy my craft. I think that's what has given me the most satisfaction. This is a great video and that is a fantastic suit too. I think I like this video most because Mr Jacomet doesn't disparage anyone but still gets the point across. That's the mark of a real gentleman.🙏🏾👍🏾
Même si je n'en ai pas les moyens, j'apprécie beaucoup ton approche et la défense de l'art tailleur européen et de son savoir séculaire . Une vraie élégance, une éloquence sans grandiloquence...Continue :)
Hola Hugo, I just found your videos and I love everything about them, I'll probably never have enough money to afford a bespoke suit or bespoke shoes but I'm still amazed about how passionate the whole art of dressing well is, I mostly wear sport coats but I been inspired to get my first suit with all your videos and how good you look, I will be ordering your books and they will always be within reach on my coffee table, congratulations and keep the videos coming please
Thank you that is very true... The best tailor is the one that you have made a personal connection with, that shares your journey with you. Following your recommendation for tailors in South East Asia, I've found a great tailor that has helped me immensely. He always has excellent recommendations on fabric for this (warm, tropical) climate and we spend a lot of time discussing what I want to achieve with a suit, what exactly is my purpose for the garment, how and when I will be wearing it... I have my 2nd suit being made now, after about 3 years of making the first. It's been a great experience and I like to think, I have made a friend as well as found a tailor. (He also seems to share my love of good footwear so we spend a lot of time talking about shoes!)
After viewing your program my husband went through his entire designer jackets and suit collection, he had become a runway model with fresh inspiration.
10:14-11:25 Im glad that he discussed the rapport and the ongoing dialogue between the client and the tailor. I imagine that the more in depth the conversation and understanding of the client's needs, the better equipped the tailor will be in creating the necessary design elements. I also love that he differentiated between styles, draping, materials etc. What if this is the client's first experience, how can you accommodate that? What does the client know about the process? What is it that they don't know or are unsure of? Where is the suit to be worn?
That's an interesting point. And that's where a great tailor makes a real difference in comparison with a normal one. Guiding the client, explaining the process, putting his customer at ease is an important (and often under estimated) part of a master tailor job and duty. Cheers, Hugo
What an inspiring, passionate and informative segment. I have never had the pleasure of working with a true taylor, but know that it must be an fascinating experience. I imagine that taylors are like architects, that must explore the clients needs and desires, while at the same time directing them and educating them - with the purpose of producing a unique, superior and, useful piece of art. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion.
Good evening last hour fan ! This suit is now 11 years old (crafted in 2007) and is the first bespoke suit I ever bought (by Cifonelli in Paris). Cheers, Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS good evening you too, its really incredible, seems made some days ago. Im approaching to classic wearing from 6-7 months, i followed your advices about create a wardrobe ( for now only pre a porter suit like coveri and saddler) but im saving money for a bespoke suit in Rome. Thank you for your tribute to bring up the classic style in this period of man lack style
Great video Hugo,as always of course. I love that you mentioned Dege and Skinner.Love their style of tailoring and hopefully one day I will be able to commission something from them.Keep up the good work!
I just love your videos! Amazing quality content. If I could afford it I would try Cifonelli. I really like the edgy and more adventurous side of them. And your English is impeccable,Hugo!
THANK YOU PRINCE Hugo ABOUT THIS VEDIO. THER ARE A LOT OF GREAT TAILORS BUT I THINK THE GREATEST WHO HAVE AN EXCELLENT FINISH MR Hugo . I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN PRINCE Hugo . I M SORRY ABOUT MY BROOKEN ENGLIS
The way that this gentleman can teach you the fine details of suiting via his videos and articles is true knowledge to learning how to dress well and with true elegance.
Hi Hugo, would it be possible for you to compile the list of tailors you mentioned in this video? Thank you for the great content as always and cheers!
Who is the best indeed?. And I do agree with you, money spent on a well made suit, is only the way to go when it comes to value for money and a lifetime of happiness. Thank you so much for your very beautiful and educational videos dear Sir.
Hugo, your dialogue observation is spot on IMO - how many men can make you feel at ease when you're half-naked while he runs a tape measure around your midriff and down the length of your inside leg ? The absolute last thing you need is someone who looks and sounds like they have more important things to do with their time, and sadly those people exist in every retail space I know of. Thanks for the vid.
I saw the heading ...& looked forward to learning the answer !! Obviously Hugo is only 1000% right, it’s a subjective experience who you like, who provides the style cut you like ...& who makes you feel comfortable is the .....best Tailor for you. I have saved up forever ...& am so looking forward to my 1st bespoke with Richard Anderson, trained by Jedi Master Colin Hammick at Huntsman. 👍
Agree with the comments about Edward Sexton but you failed to mention his partner in crime the tailor who Edward was an apprentice with at the same time. A tailor who measures, cuts and sews. Henry Rose.
Hugo I have a great wardrobe of dress shoes (all classic styles), some made to measure suits, and ties. Should my next sartorial goal be a full bespoke suit? I already own luxury watches and I am not sure what the next sartorial step would be.
Hey from Paris. Please send an e-mail to hugo@parisiangentleman.fr so that I can answer your question in details (too long for this feed). Cheers, Hugo
Monsieur Jacomet, thanks for all these amazing videos. Personally I am interested in the new wave of Japanese tailors. I also can still remember your amazing quote "When you find your wife, she's normally made-to-measure." thanks again for all the knowledge you give to each of us, Kind Regards.
Yes this quote is from the first video interview I gave to Bonne Gueule years ago. And I believe it's true. Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. Hugo
Hi Sir, I’m a Young Man living in Canada who loves suits. Your Black suit in this video is absolutely amazing. I love it. I’m looking for a Good Black Suit to invest into that will last me long too. Thank you for your insights.
I do like contemporary suits, thin lapels, slim fit, design feature ? But beautifully made with skill and craftsmanship and elegance, what tailors would you recommend who have those traits ?
Just commissioned my first bespoke suit a Navy three button 13 Oz flannel suit with patch pockets and two pairs of trousers! Hopefully it will last many moons from the Neapolitan tailor Luigi Solito!
Dear Yobo Lion. Excellent ! In fact the master tailor is his father Gennaro who is great figure of Neapolitan tailoring. His jackets and suits are very light, in pure Neapolitan style. A chapter is dedicated to Gennaro Solito in my last book "The Italian Gentleman". Yours, Hugo
Hugo Jacomet thanks my suit will be typical of his style, soft shouldered yet from a heavier than usual flannel for longevity and also to be a bit more insulating for the British climate. I think I’ll look into your book now that I’ll soon own a piece of Solito artistry.
I am French, live in London and own several of both including Italian suits. However, the video is seriously limited by not mentioning the very high quality Thai (elite) tailors that exist, some of whom studied in top haute couture schools in Paris and London. To be clear: I am not referring to the crap suits that can made in two days. Here we are discussing the four or five tailors that make remarkable suit with innovative changes due to the hot climate and different seasonal pattern (i.e., use of Egyptian cotton and silks). I would love to hear what Mr. Hugo thinks of these well-crafted suits vis-a-vis the "home" style bespoke design discussed herein and other videos.
"The best Taylor : the one with whom you feel at ease"- so good. Like a hairdresser responding: -No, what you want is this😂 Another interesting video! Are you and Sonya attending Piti Uomo in February? We hope so!
I do understand the love we all share for bespoke suits, shoe and such Hugo. But could maybe make an video or list, what brands, shoemakers and tailors to look at, for us people that dont want or cant spent 5000 pund on suits or shoes? I know almost all people can save up for these suits, but for me the limited is about 1000-1200 punds for a pair of shoes or an suit. I dont really have any problems with shoes in that price range, but it is abit harder with suits that i look for ( English style).
Yes,bespoke suits can be very good value. My father,as a young architect working in London,had a suit cut by John Lawrence of Saville Row in the mid 70’s. He still had it 40 years later and it still fitted! Amazing.
Hugo, I'm from Mexico, my first approach to bespoke was wen I made a campaign for Brioni as a model, then I get in love with sartorial experience. You mentioned a lot of tailors from Europe, but I meet years ago a tailor in Mexico named Gilberto Ortiz (who just died) and he made my first bespoke suit. He was named by Scabal as one of the best Tailor's in the world (ironic of what you just explain) anyway it would be great if you check the job of that tailor and give an opinion. Bon chance!!
Thanks Rodrigo for your contribution and for honouring the memory of this artisan. I will check his work for sure. Does he have a son or somebody taking over ? Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS yes Hugo! His son is Dario Ortiz and he's taking care of the business now, I'll contact Dario and ask for the website or Facebook page
@@SARTORIALTALKS I just asked his son, the web page is www.gilbertoortiz.com there you can find press conferences, news articles and magazines talking about him and also some pictures about his suits. The disadvantage for you is that it's in Spanish but it's a new opportunity to learn a little bit haha
I am most happy once again to invest so much time and money in a Complet (suit). This workshop renaissance has brought young taylors the chance to try a professional clientele that has this taste to try, share and buy from new '' young Taylor'' in Québec! Listening and especially discussions with their customers have led to a resurgence of Ateliers in suburbs of Montréal. Merci, toujours des plus intéressants!
CIfonelli has been my primary tailor for a while, but I also try other tailors which aren't as expensive. But you're right, it seems that the price for a Cifonelli suits rises each year. Thank you and cheers ! Hugo
I remember when I was 18 my father took me to a very famous and highly talented bespoke tailor (a true artist who should remain nameless) and he made me a most gorgeous suit; a true piece of art that fitted like a glove. I’ve never been in love with any material possession in my life, with the exception of that particular suit. Needless to say, it costed an arm and a leg., too. Something like a year later our maid accidentally washed it in the washing machine and dried it in the dryer! Amazingly enough, the suit was so well-constructed that it suffered very little damage from that careless onslaught / treatment, though in the process it shrunk and became at least a couple of sizes smaller. Hence I ended up donating it to a smaller framed cousin who proudly used it for many years. So is the way of the quality.
I think the explosion of social media has also contributed to the popularity of bespoke suits. I remember when I was younger I thought a suit was a suit lol but you see the "celebrities" with these amazing suits and the videos of various tailors shops and you soon realise yes these suits are expensive but not prohibitively so. Bespoke suits are within reach of many that once thought it was the domain of the rich.
Dear Hugo, You mentioned the proliferation of tailors around world, including Romania. Which Romanian Tailor or Sartorial house were you referring to? Thank you in advance and thank you for this most instructional and inspiring video series.
Very astute perspective and so true with regard to fake tailors! I like to think that a great tailor is one u are comfortable with and who keeps you out of fashion 'trouble'. What, may I ask is your general opinion on 'Mason and Sons' of London? Toujours un plaisir de vous ecouter, merci, Michel.
Thanks Oleg, we hope you're right ! But we already feel blessed with our existing community of close to 250 000 loyal readers / followers / subscribers (on our website Parisian Gentleman, our Facebook Page, our Instagram accounts parisian_gentleman and sonyaglyn and our two UA-cam channels). Cheers ! Hugo
Musella Dembech (father and son of Italy, grandfather originated) or Rudolph Propradi (canda) In my opinion. Both seem to stem from Italian bespoke however the later is from Hungary if not mistaken.
Good afternoon, I know the Musella family and their great tailoring (the father used to work for Donnini, who was the business partner of A. Caraceni). I dedicated a chapter to them in my last book. I don't know Rudolph Propradi though. I'll take a look on his work. Thanks for your contribution ! Cheers, Hugo
I was just mentioning about bad tailors because with any art, sometimes artist that seems bad, comes up with something new or style, it may never be realized by that artist but borrowed by others etc. So I was just saying that more tailors the better even if some are bad, but yes any kind of skimping on value is bad. As for the two I mentioned, the cuts are definitely different, one is in canada another itay so, I was just mainly saying about construction and craftsmanship. Additionally I do not own any of their suits unfortunately so It is only from what I have seen from multimedia. Thanks for the response.
Can you recommend any house in Romania ? I was very surprised to find your channel, also discovered saint crespin's because you mentioned. Thanks for sharing this passion!
Hello Hugo! I watched your video about the suit styles ( british, french , italian) and from now on i know, that i absolutely love the french style ! Do you have any suggestions which french tailor would be a good choice for me ? Im a young man at 22 years of age , and im pretty slim because im a endurance athlete and i am also not tall (171cm). After the first times i watched your videos i started saving money for my very first bespoke suit and now I'm very concerned to make a wrong decision, because its a lot of money for a student and i dont want to regret it. Keep up the wonderful work Greetings from germany
Hugo I really love your videos. Your expertise and your passion are really inspiring, especially for me as a young man who is trying to get into the world of style and find his own. Thank you! But I have one question: You also mentioned tailors in Austria, which come to your mind here? All the best Martin
Impeccable passion conveyed within this video. I was wondering, any thoughts on Ascot Chang of Hong Kong? For i've recently commissioned a dinner jacket from them. Best Regards, Ken
Extremely Informative,..We appreciate your Great knowledge in Bespoke Suits...May I Kindly ask you, Who would you recommend as a Great Bespoke Tailor in Chicago., Thank you Sincerely Richard Jones
There are many so called "custom tailors" in Chicago, but I have to investigate to pick up the right one (I mean a real tailor not only a shop who is sending his custom suits to be made in Asia). Hugo
@@caporegime1862 ...Thank you Sir James,..I will definitely look into this Bespoke Tailor...I heard someone also mention Richard Bennett's...I appreciate your recommendation.
Dear Conway, I don't have any experience with Ascottage in Korea, but Ring Jacket is an excellent brand (I think they only do ready-to-wear though). All my best, Hugo
For all your unquenchable love for double-breasted suits, Mr. Hugo, the single-breasted ones (including this one) actually make you look even more sparkling. (I could use other adjectives, but I don't want to make you blush.) It's just the right touch of neatness and strictness that a double-breasted, to my jaundiced eye, cannot achieve.
Hello, I absolutely love your channel. I have a question. Besides bespoke are there any off the peg suit manufactures that make a decent suit? Some can't wear bespoke everyday. But a well made non bespoke suit properly fit and tailored could be a good option. No?
Hello Mr. Jacomet! I am a young American Graduate-Architect and I have finally saved enough for a bespoke suit. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me. I know America is not noted as an especially stylish place, but I have been trying to find quality tailors closer than Europe. I plan on Henry Poole in UK or Cifonelli in France for my personal suits, but would like to find somewhere close for work suits. Are there any notable tailors in North America that you have come across?

What is it that they don't know or are unsure of? Where is the suit to be worn?
That's an interesting point. And that's where a great tailor makes a real difference in comparison with a normal one. Guiding the client, explaining the process, putting his customer at ease is an important (and often under estimated) part of a master tailor job and duty. Cheers, Hugo
What an inspiring, passionate and informative segment. I have never had the pleasure of working with a true taylor, but know that it must be an fascinating experience. I imagine that taylors are like architects, that must explore the clients needs and desires, while at the same time directing them and educating them - with the purpose of producing a unique, superior and, useful piece of art. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion.
the suit you wearing in this video is simply amazing.really a masterpiece. Congrats for all your videos, i'm a last hour fan.
Good evening last hour fan ! This suit is now 11 years old (crafted in 2007) and is the first bespoke suit I ever bought (by Cifonelli in Paris). Cheers, Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS good evening you too, its really incredible, seems made some days ago. Im approaching to classic wearing from 6-7 months, i followed your advices about create a wardrobe ( for now only pre a porter suit like coveri and saddler) but im saving money for a bespoke suit in Rome. Thank you for your tribute to bring up the classic style in this period of man lack style
Great video Hugo,as always of course. I love that you mentioned Dege and Skinner.Love their style of tailoring and hopefully one day I will be able to commission something from them.Keep up the good work!
Dear Tomaz, the Skinner family is a great family and their tailoring is among the best on Savile Row for sure. Yours, Hugo
I just love your videos! Amazing quality content. If I could afford it I would try Cifonelli. I really like the edgy and more adventurous side of them. And your English is impeccable,Hugo!
Dear Vali, thanks for your kind words. Not sure my English is impeccable though but I appreciate your encouragement ! Cheers, Hugo
THANK YOU PRINCE Hugo ABOUT THIS VEDIO. THER ARE A LOT OF GREAT TAILORS
BUT I THINK THE GREATEST WHO HAVE AN EXCELLENT FINISH MR Hugo . I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN PRINCE Hugo .
I M SORRY ABOUT MY BROOKEN ENGLIS
The way that this gentleman can teach you the fine details of suiting via his videos and articles is true knowledge to learning how to dress well and with true elegance.
A sincere thank you, Ethan. Hugo
Hi Hugo, would it be possible for you to compile the list of tailors you mentioned in this video? Thank you for the great content as always and cheers!
Who is the best indeed?. And I do agree with you, money spent on a well made suit, is only the way to go when it comes to value for money and a lifetime of happiness. Thank you so much for your very beautiful and educational videos dear Sir.
Hugo, your dialogue observation is spot on IMO - how many men can make you feel at ease when you're half-naked while he runs a tape measure around your midriff and down the length of your inside leg ? The absolute last thing you need is someone who looks and sounds like they have more important things to do with their time, and sadly those people exist in every retail space I know of.
Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Arthur for your - appreciated- contribution. Cheers, Hugo
We need more like this. Education is good when applied.
Thanks! Hugo
Really appreciate your efforts. Thanks
Thanks Bill. Really appreciate your encouragements ! Hugo
I saw the heading ...& looked forward to learning the answer !! Obviously Hugo is only 1000% right, it’s a subjective experience who you like, who provides the style cut you like ...& who makes you feel comfortable is the .....best Tailor for you. I have saved up forever ...& am so looking forward to my 1st bespoke with Richard Anderson, trained by Jedi Master Colin Hammick at Huntsman. 👍
Agree with the comments about Edward Sexton but you failed to mention his partner in crime the tailor who Edward was an apprentice with at the same time. A tailor who measures, cuts and sews. Henry Rose.
Thanks Ian for this comment and apologies for forgetting Henry Rose (who also worked with Sexton at Welsh & Jeffries if I'm right). Cheers, Hugo
Jacomet itroduced me a whole new world to which i never known before. Thanks, u looks good in those dapper clothes.
Welcome in this little world my friend. Hugo
Hugo I have a great wardrobe of dress shoes (all classic styles), some made to measure suits, and ties. Should my next sartorial goal be a full bespoke suit? I already own luxury watches and I am not sure what the next sartorial step would be.
Hey from Paris. Please send an e-mail to hugo@parisiangentleman.fr so that I can answer your question in details (too long for this feed). Cheers, Hugo
Monsieur Jacomet, thanks for all these amazing videos. Personally I am interested in the new wave of Japanese tailors. I also can still remember your amazing quote "When you find your wife, she's normally made-to-measure." thanks again for all the knowledge you give to each of us, Kind Regards.
Yes this quote is from the first video interview I gave to Bonne Gueule years ago. And I believe it's true. Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. Hugo
A very simple answer to this very delicate question, it’s like who builds the best sports car?
The suit this man is wearing is truly nice.
There are great tailors, great painters, great shoemakers, no one is best. All are artists, Awesome line..
You can tell that’s a amazing quality suit if the one he’s wearing he said is from many years ago.
This suit is from 2007 I think. Cheers, Hugo
Hi Sir, I’m a Young Man living in Canada who loves suits. Your Black suit in this video is absolutely amazing. I love it. I’m looking for a Good Black Suit to invest into that will last me long too. Thank you for your insights.
Cifonelli told me they have quite a few clients in Quebec!!
I do like contemporary suits, thin lapels, slim fit, design feature ? But beautifully made with skill and craftsmanship and elegance, what tailors would you recommend who have those traits ?
Thank you my dear brother in Christ! A great video and very inspiring.
Thank you for your comment and consideration. Blessings, Hugo
I missed the pictures of the tailors suits and works like you did with other video's. Great vid and channel nonetheless.
I agree with you. We'll improve in the upcoming episodes. Thank you for your support ! Hugo
Just commissioned my first bespoke suit a Navy three button 13 Oz flannel suit with patch pockets and two pairs of trousers! Hopefully it will last many moons from the Neapolitan tailor Luigi Solito!
Dear Yobo Lion. Excellent ! In fact the master tailor is his father Gennaro who is great figure of Neapolitan tailoring. His jackets and suits are very light, in pure Neapolitan style. A chapter is dedicated to Gennaro Solito in my last book "The Italian Gentleman". Yours, Hugo
Hugo Jacomet thanks my suit will be typical of his style, soft shouldered yet from a heavier than usual flannel for longevity and also to be a bit more insulating for the British climate. I think I’ll look into your book now that I’ll soon own a piece of Solito artistry.
I am French, live in London and own several of both including Italian suits. However, the video is seriously limited by not mentioning the very high quality Thai (elite) tailors that exist, some of whom studied in top haute couture schools in Paris and London. To be clear: I am not referring to the crap suits that can made in two days. Here we are discussing the four or five tailors that make remarkable suit with innovative changes due to the hot climate and different seasonal pattern (i.e., use of Egyptian cotton and silks). I would love to hear what Mr. Hugo thinks of these well-crafted suits vis-a-vis the "home" style bespoke design discussed herein and other videos.
"The best Taylor : the one with whom you feel at ease"- so good. Like a hairdresser responding:
-No, what you want is this😂
Another interesting video!
Are you and Sonya attending Piti Uomo in February?
We hope so!
I do understand the love we all share for bespoke suits, shoe and such Hugo. But could maybe make an video or list, what brands, shoemakers and tailors to look at, for us people that dont want or cant spent 5000 pund on suits or shoes? I know almost all people can save up for these suits, but for me the limited is about 1000-1200 punds for a pair of shoes or an suit.
I dont really have any problems with shoes in that price range, but it is abit harder with suits that i look for ( English style).
Yes,bespoke suits can be very good value. My father,as a young architect working in London,had a suit cut by John Lawrence of Saville Row in the mid 70’s. He still had it 40 years later and it still fitted! Amazing.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten (Benjamin Franklin). Cheers,Hugo
Still fitted??
A man of simple taste. He only goes for the best
Greet show. Please do more.
Thanks ! Yes we'll try to produce more. Hugo
Hugo, I'm from Mexico, my first approach to bespoke was wen I made a campaign for Brioni as a model, then I get in love with sartorial experience. You mentioned a lot of tailors from Europe, but I meet years ago a tailor in Mexico named Gilberto Ortiz (who just died) and he made my first bespoke suit. He was named by Scabal as one of the best Tailor's in the world (ironic of what you just explain) anyway it would be great if you check the job of that tailor and give an opinion. Bon chance!!
Thanks Rodrigo for your contribution and for honouring the memory of this artisan. I will check his work for sure. Does he have a son or somebody taking over ? Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS yes Hugo! His son is Dario Ortiz and he's taking care of the business now, I'll contact Dario and ask for the website or Facebook page
@@SARTORIALTALKS I just asked his son, the web page is www.gilbertoortiz.com there you can find press conferences, news articles and magazines talking about him and also some pictures about his suits. The disadvantage for you is that it's in Spanish but it's a new opportunity to learn a little bit haha
You are incredibly articulate, great video
I am most happy once again to invest so much time and money in a Complet (suit).
This workshop renaissance has brought young taylors the chance to try a professional clientele that has this taste to try, share and buy from new '' young Taylor'' in Québec!
Listening and especially discussions with their customers have led to a resurgence of Ateliers in suburbs of Montréal.
Merci, toujours des plus intéressants!
a suit is a "costume" in French.
Very interesting! Thanks for the great video
Thanks Christopher ! Hugo
I often think this about my favourite classical composers.
Hi Hugo, what do you think about Suit Supply and Lanieri?
They are both great options if you are on a budget. Cheers, Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS thank you, as I am working in Milan at the moment but find it hard to spend over 1000 for a bespoke suit (I hope someday)
3:52 England
9:13 Napoli
6:35 Italy
8:52 Roman style
Much appreciated !! Hugo
Joseph Genuardi of Hoboken, NJ gets my vote!
Wonderful channel, next time I’m going bespoke.
I would love to know how this man cares for his hair. Great taste in style
After you wash your hair, don't touch it until it dries. It's difficult to leave it alone (my daughter taught Hugo this), ha! Cheers! ~Sonya
Well said Hugo.
Thanks Peter ! Hugo
Awesome videos please make more !
Good morning , yes we will of course ! This channel is here to last. Cheers, Hugo
Cifonelli in Paris...Hugo likes them also...pretty expensive though but gorgeous finishing
CIfonelli has been my primary tailor for a while, but I also try other tailors which aren't as expensive. But you're right, it seems that the price for a Cifonelli suits rises each year. Thank you and cheers ! Hugo
VERY informative, thank you for this blog!
would be very nice to have links on instagrams/websites of the tailors you named!
I remember when I was 18 my father took me to a very famous and highly talented bespoke tailor (a true artist who should remain nameless) and he made me a most gorgeous suit; a true piece of art that fitted like a glove. I’ve never been in love with any material possession in my life, with the exception of that particular suit. Needless to say, it costed an arm and a leg., too. Something like a year later our maid accidentally washed it in the washing machine and dried it in the dryer! Amazingly enough, the suit was so well-constructed that it suffered very little damage from that careless onslaught / treatment, though in the process it shrunk and became at least a couple of sizes smaller. Hence I ended up donating it to a smaller framed cousin who proudly used it for many years. So is the way of the quality.
I think the explosion of social media has also contributed to the popularity of bespoke suits. I remember when I was younger I thought a suit was a suit lol but you see the "celebrities" with these amazing suits and the videos of various tailors shops and you soon realise yes these suits are expensive but not prohibitively so. Bespoke suits are within reach of many that once thought it was the domain of the rich.
Such a tasty style you have! Lovely! Do you mind recommending some top tailors in Germany.
Dear Hugo,
You mentioned the proliferation of tailors around world, including Romania.
Which Romanian Tailor or Sartorial house were you referring to?
Thank you in advance and thank you for this most instructional and inspiring video series.
Great video, I wish I could still wear my 10 years old suits...
yes Max ! I do, but as bespoke is easy to alter, I've been able to alter this suit at least 3 times since a decade. Cheers, Hugo
..... that is easy, it was my uncle, from italy and continued his profession in america.
Fabulous, feel free to share his name if you like. Cheers ! Hugo
Very astute perspective and so true with regard to fake tailors! I like to think that a great tailor is one u are comfortable with and who keeps you out of fashion 'trouble'. What, may I ask is your general opinion on 'Mason and Sons' of London? Toujours un plaisir de vous ecouter, merci, Michel.
Soon this channel will have 1m+ subscribers :)
Thanks Oleg, we hope you're right ! But we already feel blessed with our existing community of close to 250 000 loyal readers / followers / subscribers (on our website Parisian Gentleman, our Facebook Page, our Instagram accounts parisian_gentleman and sonyaglyn and our two UA-cam channels).
Cheers ! Hugo
Wow! What a content! Thank you
I think Hugo is honest in fashion & damn smart person
Thanks for your kind words (except damn !!). Hugo
Great explanation and clarity Sir...
Merci Calvin, mon ami et fidèle supporter. Hugo
shilabje calvin seja. I am tailor mastar Bangladesh. yellow by beximco.
Musella Dembech (father and son of Italy, grandfather originated) or Rudolph Propradi (canda) In my opinion. Both seem to stem from Italian bespoke however the later is from Hungary if not mistaken.
Also I don't like idea of rooting out the bad ones. If it's art they have a place too.
Good afternoon, I know the Musella family and their great tailoring (the father used to work for Donnini, who was the business partner of A. Caraceni). I dedicated a chapter to them in my last book. I don't know Rudolph Propradi though. I'll take a look on his work. Thanks for your contribution ! Cheers, Hugo
I was speaking of the self-appointed "master tailors" who are fooling the public. Cheers, Hugo
I was just mentioning about bad tailors because with any art, sometimes artist that seems bad, comes up with something new or style, it may never be realized by that artist but borrowed by others etc. So I was just saying that more tailors the better even if some are bad, but yes any kind of skimping on value is bad. As for the two I mentioned, the cuts are definitely different, one is in canada another itay so, I was just mainly saying about construction and craftsmanship. Additionally I do not own any of their suits unfortunately so It is only from what I have seen from multimedia. Thanks for the response.
You're most welcome ! Hugo
Can you recommend any house in Romania ? I was very surprised to find your channel, also discovered saint crespin's because you mentioned. Thanks for sharing this passion!
The only house I know in Romania is Zenonni in Bucarest. www.zenonni.com
Cheers, Hugo
In Bucarest I know Zenoni su misura. Great people. Hugo
Hello Hugo!
I watched your video about the suit styles ( british, french , italian) and from now on i know, that i absolutely love the french style ! Do you have any suggestions which french tailor would be a good choice for me ? Im a young man at 22 years of age , and im pretty slim because im a endurance athlete and i am also not tall (171cm). After the first times i watched your videos i started saving money for my very first bespoke suit and now I'm very concerned to make a wrong decision, because its a lot of money for a student and i dont want to regret it.
Keep up the wonderful work
Greetings from germany
Send me an email at hugo@parisiangentleman.fr
Cheers, Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS I have sent you an email.
Greetings
You cannot go wrong with Cifonelli. A bit costly but gorgeous suits with knock out finishing.
Hugo I really love your videos. Your expertise and your passion are really inspiring, especially for me as a young man who is trying to get into the world of style and find his own. Thank you!
But I have one question: You also mentioned tailors in Austria, which come to your mind here?
All the best
Martin
Impeccable passion conveyed within this video. I was wondering, any thoughts on Ascot Chang of Hong Kong? For i've recently commissioned a dinner jacket from them.
Best Regards,
Ken
Extremely Informative,..We appreciate your Great knowledge in Bespoke Suits...May I Kindly ask you, Who would you recommend as a Great Bespoke Tailor in Chicago., Thank you Sincerely Richard Jones
There are many so called "custom tailors" in Chicago, but I have to investigate to pick up the right one (I mean a real tailor not only a shop who is sending his custom suits to be made in Asia). Hugo
Richard Jones
I would recommend CHRIS DESPOS he is based in Chicago
@@caporegime1862 ...Thank you Sir James,..I will definitely look into this Bespoke Tailor...I heard someone also mention Richard Bennett's...I appreciate your recommendation.
What do you think about tailors (brands) from asia for exemple Ascottage in south korea or ring jacket from Japan
Dear Conway, I don't have any experience with Ascottage in Korea, but Ring Jacket is an excellent brand (I think they only do ready-to-wear though). All my best, Hugo
Hello Hugo, I am wishing to purchase my first bespoke suit ideally in black. Where would be a good place to start ?
Send me an e-mail at Hugo@parisiangentleman.fr
I agree however in order to get his message across even more efficiently, he should start showing the examples rather than talking about them.
Dear sir, that's a good suggestion and we'll do this as much as possible in the next videos. Thank you, Hugo
For all your unquenchable love for double-breasted suits, Mr. Hugo, the single-breasted ones (including this one) actually make you look even more sparkling. (I could use other adjectives, but I don't want to make you blush.) It's just the right touch of neatness and strictness that a double-breasted, to my jaundiced eye, cannot achieve.
I wish there would have been a mention of possibly American tailors so I don’t have to fly around the world to get a great suit
Gaetano Aloisio from Rome is now travelling frequently to NYC. Send us a message on hugo@parisiangentleman.fr if needed. Hugo
Hello,
I absolutely love your channel. I have a question. Besides bespoke are there any off the peg suit manufactures that make a decent suit? Some can't wear bespoke everyday. But a well made non bespoke suit properly fit and tailored could be a good option. No?
Good morning Love the channel and all the knowledge you share 🙏any tailors you know of in Toronto Canada?thank you. Have a great day
Francesco SR is an excellent bespoke tailor in Toronto. Cheers, Hugo
What do you think of Maurice Sedwell?
Hello Mr. Jacomet! I am a young American Graduate-Architect and I have finally saved enough for a bespoke suit. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me. I know America is not noted as an especially stylish place, but I have been trying to find quality tailors closer than Europe. I plan on Henry Poole in UK or Cifonelli in France for my personal suits, but would like to find somewhere close for work suits. Are there any notable tailors in North America that you have come across?
Good afternoon, please send your message to hugo@parisiangentleman.fr
Hi Mr. Hugo!
Can you please name some of the great Italia bespoke tailors which you think stands among the bests in the world?
What is the difference between the bespoke suite and the normal suite
Absolutely Correct !!!
Thanks Mark! Hugo
