"You will only spend say 5 to 6 thousand a year on your wardrobe"....and then there is me, who's been wearing the same £20 t-shirt for the past 6 years
Hugo, the idea of a grown man spending a half hour of his life to contemplate and hear about the clothes of another grown man seems ridiculous, but that is what happened. 😄 Thank you for this!
Thank you for all your great videos. I’m just starting out with dressing up. I’m already 50 and I’m in Chula Vista, San Diego . CA. 91910 United States of America
I'm 40, and I just started to even think of dressing in a suit, or sport coat. just wore athletic wear with hoodies and sport pants until now. I'm soo happy I found this channel, it's really inspiring me to dress nice and my age.
"Buy quality. It's better to save and buy a super-good suit than buy-buy-buy-buy and then throw and/or don't wear." Those are words to live by, and not just when it comes to suits. I also like how candid you are about some of the insights you had after purchasing a suit. Thank you for the wonderful video, Hugo!
You’re right! I bought a bespoke Neapolitan suit for £3000 that I’ve worn a reasonable amount of times and then a fused sport coat for £120 I have never worn which I’m considering throwing away! So no points for guessing which was a costly mistake!
I have been following Sartorial Talks for only about a month now but you guys are so inspiring. I'm a bigger guy that has struggled for years with my self image. I love to wear suits and dress clothes but my weight fluctuates so much and it's hard to feel confident in what I wear. Just in the last month I feel so much more confident with knowing there is a community of people that care about looking great and knowing that there are others out there that want their wardrobe to be what speaks before they open their mouth. Thank you for all that you do, Hugo. You are an inspiration and I can't wait to own my very 1st bespoke 3 piece suit someday. Thank you!
If you are like me then you are working with a budget and may need to buy your items piece by piece. I would start with the shoes, then jacket, then the rest of the suit. You mentioned your weight fluctuations, a tailor can add adjustments and even different materials to make you comfortable. A suit is not only to look good but you should feel very comfortable in the suit in every element. How you carry yourself with posture is important also. Again, good shoes will change your life and is the foundation of your wardrobe. Best wishes to you and good luck!
First video I’ve seen from this channel and I’m amazed at the amount of class this dude displays. I’m 23 and have now decided to embark myself into the world of sartorial
I have just discovered this channel. I am the type to wear jeans, a lumberjack jacket and some boots. I will never buy a suit and absolutely don't find suits or any type of Chino or Pantalon type clothing appealing. However, the passion that you represent and radiate when you talk about your field, made me watch multiple of your videos with close attention. You have a oratorial gift!
Nathan M I primarily do wear suits because of my line of work, but when I’m in a more rural or casual setting, I’ll wear dark jeans, boots, and a grey suit jacket. Now that I think about it, I’ve gotten more compliments on that type of outfit than any other.
@@LifeCoach44 Cool to know! What kind of suit do you wear? I think both styles are very nice if you ask me. I just don't see the use in a suit that I won't wear to work or in my social life. Do you wear your suit(s) a lot outside of work?
I appreciate your comments about why you choose a particular style and fabric. You clearly put thought into each garment and it is enlightening. Bravo on another good video.
This blue you wore for the interview looks stunning, Hugo. Love this colour. It looks so refreshing and positive among all these dark, at best dark blue or grey suits I usually see. Suits you very well. As well as I love your detailed explanations why and how you chose what for your personal suits style, how much it was etc. and ... that you didn't intend to lecture anybody. I think that was very important to emphasise at a certain point as well, since the Latin maxim goes _'De gustibus _*_non_*_ est disputandum.'_ . Unfortunately it's often misinterpreted or even wrongly translated and many were taught or seem to understand that in matters of taste, there do could be disputes. Thanks for clarification and ... your inspiration. ;)
0:48 Hugo, you already have inspired me to buy my first shoes outside from local mall. This week I have recieved new loafers from Meermin. Their price is similar to mass-market shoes, but they look much better. Now i know that there are not just shoes, but loafers, derbies, oxfords, monks, chealsea boots. Looking forward to buy something from Loake or Herring thanks to your video about best shoe brands. Also I have found in my city tailor who is doing made-to-measure shirts. Now i am thinking about to order a linen shirt for summer with precise mine measurements.
My dear Hugo, thanks for sharing us your journey with your suits, you make us feel that we are part of your life and that we are family here in this community, its really nice feeling , God bless you and Sonya, and all people here in these holy days of Ramadan month, love from Cairo, Egypt.
My sartorial journey began when I moved to Hong Kong in 2007 with bespoke suits by local tailors. You get what you pay for. Then I discovered ready-to-wear by Ring Jacket before going full tilt boogie with MTM and bespoke Orazio Luciano, Huntsman, Dalcuore, Cifonelli and most recently Sartoria Yuki Inoue. It is an expensive hobby, but the upside is I work out more at the gym so that I can keep wearing these pieces of art and, most importantly, I get compliments from the smart ladies at the office :-)
Thought I would see an ordinary wardrobe tour but I was wrong. I got a greater treat when walking in the timeline of you building up your `armory`. It is even better to know reason and your presonal thought on each set of suits you own. Thank you, Sir. Waiting for part 2 :)
Excellent topic! Hugo, I would have thought you had a lot more suits (though 27 ain't just a few), but the thousands of combinations achievable with just the right pieces is what gives the impression of comfort, ease, and professional decorum. You are educating the next generation well. Cheers, sir!
I like the fact that you don‘t proclaim to be a fashion expert or kind of a guru but share your knowledge with wise words. I really enjoy that kind of episodes. I am in my 40s now and started to also build up a wardrobe although more smart casual as I am not in the industrie where suit and tie are at home. However I feel comfortable to dress up against the t-shirt and flip flop brigade 🤓👞👔👟👕
I'm so happy to read this ! And you're right, I'm neither a fashion expert nor a guru. Just a man who learned a lot about this subject and want to share what he learned (including his mistakes). Cheers ! Hugo
Hugo, very well explained, to the point and most important like i believe a man needs to dress well to feel confident for himself not the others, you polish your shoes because your father told you a good suit with UN polished shoes is like a big NO NO.. good lessons Hugo...thanks for telling your story......
That is a great story regarding the sport jacket at the black tie event. Before today, I was not aware of that style of jacket specifically. That's a sartorial home run!
Even just from this talk we can know that building a wardrobe can be a wonderful journey, finding out what you like and what you need over a long period of time. I am still at the beginning stages of my sartorial journey, and I really look forward to building a proper wardrobe!
Mr. Jacomet, it's truly a pleasure to listen to you speak so eloquently about what elegance, confidence and personal style is all about. This might sound cliché but you Sir are an inspiration for someone like me who has had a passion for men's clothing and shoes for as long as I can remember. I no longer have the urge to buy and hoard clothing compulsively. I am ready to do away with whatever is in my closet and start from scratch. Please keep up the great work. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you and best wishes to you and your lovely wife. Regards Mario from NY
It is amazing to listen to you to talk about Siuts or bespoken Siuts. I started to move to wear Siuts in my freetime, because i don`t need Siuts at work. I got Siuts from Siutesuply and a Hugo Boss Siut my next will be one of Pini
I get your obsession. You look so good in the suits! I personally enjoy a more country style at the moment but I understand this is a journey and I'm loving your videos!
Hello Hugo I hope that this finds you and Sonya well, may I just say what a amazing wardrobe and fantastic video content once again, thank you so much, you’re friend Ryan.
@@SARTORIALTALKS I think it is! Original means something nowadays, as we all seem to be copies of what society imprints on us from the earliest of moments!
Even though my taste in how suits are cut is very different from his, this man radiates so much elegance. There is something about his attitude, so polite and low key. Gentile. The fact that his style is so consistent also shows great confidence, I think that is one of the most elegant things you can have. Thank you for the tips. I don't have money to go straight to Cifonellis but will keep on improving my wardrobe and aiming for the style I love.
SARTORIAL TALKS I don’t know why I chose this name but now I cannot change it for another 88 days. Btw, I love your channel and as a teenager channels like yours have helped me quite a lot
Your passion for double-breasted inspired me to buy my first jacket as a young one :) Vitale Barberis Canonico fabric. Learning from you sir every single day!
My first real tailor made suit was a fully lined suit, but since then coats or suits are either half lined or unlined. All are soft shoulder or unstructured shoulder since I have build shoulders and I don't like the structured shoulders. Find your own way and what makes you comfortable and confident. This is a great video series. Thank you very much
This is great. You have a way to be technical but also very personal on your videos. A very delicate approach on making videos, and in a language that is not your mother tongue as well. Will you ever make a video about fashion suggestions for people living in tropical areas? Or for people who are blue collar workers? Or for engineers or construction supervisors etc... Btw, I love your choice of timepiece. Very nice Laurent Ferrier Galet.
I don't agree with the comment of Nikhil. On our website Parisiangentleman you'll find a lot of articles on suits of different budgets. And thank you for your kind words about my english... Cheers, Hugo
Hugo, I love your work and the production quality on your videos, not to mention the class and elegance in which you present your material....it is my dream to be able to work with you, your wife, and your team someday... Such an inspiring and amazing journey you have had so far. I wish your many more years of health and success. Cheers from a fellow filmmaker, sartorialist, and believer living in Detroit, MI
As usual, excellent video. Keep it up, Hugo. Personally, I leave it to my tailor on what color, what fabric and what style. My tailor knows my wardrobe. I only tell him the situation(s) that I am going to be using the suit most and leave the rest to my tailor, who usually comes up with the most thoughtful suggestion. I, obviously, retain the final decision to approve before I sign on the dotted line. And then the months of waiting begins :-).
Hugo, totally agree. Feel lucky that I found the tailor of my preference. My sartorial journey has been similar to yours. I started redoing my wardrobe in 2014 and donated all my suits except for one. Just last month finalized on my 7th. Obviously, I am still months away from being able to put it on.
Fantastic. The aspect of quality tailored clothes that I am most attracted to is the thought and investment that goes into it, making it more than just an article of clothing. As you say the choices you make during this process are a stylistic statement, and I feel like a lot of men today are either afraid to do that, or simply do so unintentionally without being completely conscious of what messages they convey.
I adore your channel. It's so informative and inspirational. I've built a wardrobe made mostly of vintage clothes(fits my old fashion style and attitude) since I cannot afford bespoke or Mtm. Thank you for what you do.
Hugo I enjoy watching your videos, I too have built a wardrobe much the same way you have. I have also found that buying clothes can be addictive or seems that way. My taylor once told me that he only has three suits and a sports coat he said that's all you really need. I reminded him that yes that may be true but it's people like me that keep him in business, he just smiled. Back to your videos I thought I knew a lot about dressing but I have learned some things watching your mesmerizing way of talking thru your videos. PS were you a preacher at one time 😁Ciao.
I wore a double breasted purple trouser suit with black brogues to my first job interview after my Masters. I certainly left an impression because my manager was wearing shorts during the interview, and I got the job 👍🏾
i loved it !!!, thank you for sharing with your viewers part of what it has made you to be known. Waiting for the next chapter, and hoping you don't mind if i emulate some of your choices.
Hi Hugo, Thank you so much for sharing your wardrobe with gentlemen of the world. You've inspired me so much to build my wardrobe. Could you please do an episode on how and when to wear an Ascot, and what would be the right matching accessories, such as a pocket square and shoes. I'm trying to introduce the ascot here in the San Francisco bay area, but I keep getting feedback from friends and family that it's outdated, and looks too flamboyant. Thanks Andrew San Francisco, California, USA
Dear Andrew, I'm afraid we'll not be able to dedicate a full episode to the Ascot, but we'll probably include it in an episode dedicated to neckwear. An Ascot is more discreet than flamboyant. It creates a very conservative feeling. Traditional, almost blue blood . I don't wear Ascot because I have the feeling it ages me a lot, but I know a few gentlemen who pull it of with success! Cheers, Hugo
That Cifonelli double breasted suit is absolutely outstanding! I think movies like the "Kingsman" series are trying to bring the double breasted suit back into vogue, but something about the fit of their suits in the shoulders doesn't seem quite right. A little too square-ish and boxy. I'm guessing they weren't bespoke, but I have to check on that. But whoever did yours did an amazing job
We're growing impatient for more videos! By the way, this video inspired me to go bespoke just last week; it's going to be a double-breasted in "middle" grey. Not too dark, not too light.

Wonderful video Hugo, I have spent way too much money for RTW clothes. However, buying bespoke in the US can be challenging and really expensive considering flights to Italy or Paris for fittings. Cheers
I believe you can still find decent tailors in larger cities. Otherwise all the tailors travel to the USA for fittings. Mainly to New York for the French and Italian tailors, but in all the major cities of the US for the British tailors from Savile Row. Cheers, Hugo
"You will only spend say 5 to 6 thousand a year on your wardrobe"....and then there is me, who's been wearing the same £20 t-shirt for the past 6 years

This is great. You have a way to be technical but also very personal on your videos. A very delicate approach on making videos, and in a language that is not your mother tongue as well.
Will you ever make a video about fashion suggestions for people living in tropical areas? Or for people who are blue collar workers? Or for engineers or construction supervisors etc...
Btw, I love your choice of timepiece. Very nice Laurent Ferrier Galet.
I don't agree with the comment of Nikhil. On our website Parisiangentleman you'll find a lot of articles on suits of different budgets. And thank you for your kind words about my english... Cheers, Hugo
I love the idea of tropical style...
Hugo, I love your work and the production quality on your videos, not to mention the class and elegance in which you present your material....it is my dream to be able to work with you, your wife, and your team someday... Such an inspiring and amazing journey you have had so far. I wish your many more years of health and success. Cheers from a fellow filmmaker, sartorialist, and believer living in Detroit, MI
Thank you my friend for your beautiful message. God bless, Hugo
Thank you for sharing.
my favorite has to be that sports jacket
Spotless
Many thanks! hugo
Hugo, that double breasted midnight blue suit is Gorgeous 🥰😍😍
Thank you José. It's a beautiful classic suit indeed. But it's also what we call "a sharp suit". Best, Hugo
That under-buttoned club collar is beautiful! I plan on adding at least two of these to my wardrobe
As usual, excellent video. Keep it up, Hugo. Personally, I leave it to my tailor on what color, what fabric and what style. My tailor knows my wardrobe. I only tell him the situation(s) that I am going to be using the suit most and leave the rest to my tailor, who usually comes up with the most thoughtful suggestion. I, obviously, retain the final decision to approve before I sign on the dotted line. And then the months of waiting begins :-).
Yes the long months during which you dream of the suit :-). Thanks for your contribution. It seems you found the right tailor my friend. Cheers, Hugo
Hugo, totally agree. Feel lucky that I found the tailor of my preference. My sartorial journey has been similar to yours. I started redoing my wardrobe in 2014 and donated all my suits except for one. Just last month finalized on my 7th. Obviously, I am still months away from being able to put it on.
Hello Hugo I am on my Sartorial path and thank you for your inspiration
I'm happy to read this David. Good luck! Hugo
Wonderful Suit
I like the grey "Preppy/Sport Jacket". That jacket is very nice.
It is always good to see your videos
Merci Arturo! Cheers, Hugo
i admire the way you knot your ties
Hugo, as usual, another enlightening video. I’d love to see a video of your thoughts on a casual wardrobe, i.e., when you’re not wearing a suit.
Why not, even if I still have so many things to say about classic style !! Cheers Arthur ! Hugo
Fantastic. The aspect of quality tailored clothes that I am most attracted to is the thought and investment that goes into it, making it more than just an article of clothing. As you say the choices you make during this process are a stylistic statement, and I feel like a lot of men today are either afraid to do that, or simply do so unintentionally without being completely conscious of what messages they convey.
That's absolutely correct. Cheers, Hugo
Even before seeing this video I had to press the like button cos I know it's gonna be a great thing to watch.....Big Fan ....with love from India
I hope you eventually enjoyed it ! Cheers my friend, Hugo
I adore your channel. It's so informative and inspirational. I've built a wardrobe made mostly of vintage clothes(fits my old fashion style and attitude) since I cannot afford bespoke or Mtm. Thank you for what you do.
Hugo I enjoy watching your videos, I too have built a wardrobe much the same way you have. I have also found that buying clothes can be addictive or seems that way. My taylor once told me that he only has three suits and a sports coat he said that's all you really need. I reminded him that yes that may be true but it's people like me that keep him in business, he just smiled. Back to your videos I thought I knew a lot about dressing but I have learned some things watching your mesmerizing way of talking thru your videos. PS were you a preacher at one time 😁Ciao.
I wore a double breasted purple trouser suit with black brogues to my first job interview after my Masters. I certainly left an impression because my manager was wearing shorts during the interview, and I got the job 👍🏾
just just thinking man i need another video !! WOO HOO !!!
Haha, thanks, Hugo
i loved it !!!, thank you for sharing with your viewers part of what it has made you to be known. Waiting for the next chapter, and hoping you don't mind if i emulate some of your choices.
My pleasure Robert, you can emulate what you want. Cheers, Hugo
Great video as always Hugo
Thank you Anupam ! Hugo
Hugo nice vid great advice !
Thank you sir. Hugo
Very inspiring, thank you sir!
You are very welcome Nikos! Hugo
Hi Hugo,
Thank you so much for sharing your wardrobe with gentlemen of the world. You've inspired me so much to build my wardrobe. Could you please do an episode on how and when to wear an Ascot, and what would be the right matching accessories, such as a pocket square and shoes. I'm trying to introduce the ascot here in the San Francisco bay area, but I keep getting feedback from friends and family that it's outdated, and looks too flamboyant.
Thanks
Andrew

Dear Andrew, I'm afraid we'll not be able to dedicate a full episode to the Ascot, but we'll probably include it in an episode dedicated to neckwear. An Ascot is more discreet than flamboyant. It creates a very conservative feeling. Traditional, almost blue blood . I don't wear Ascot because I have the feeling it ages me a lot, but I know a few gentlemen who pull it of with success! Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you
Thanks Hugo!
You are very welcome! Hugo
Oh God, that suit! Stunning!
That Cifonelli double breasted suit is absolutely outstanding! I think movies like the "Kingsman" series are trying to bring the double breasted suit back into vogue, but something about the fit of their suits in the shoulders doesn't seem quite right. A little too square-ish and boxy. I'm guessing they weren't bespoke, but I have to check on that. But whoever did yours did an amazing job
I think they were bespoke but maybe I'm wrong. Cifonelli did most of mines (I have a lot of DB's!!). Cheers! Hugo
You have very beautiful bespoke suits !
Thank you, Hugo
We're growing impatient for more videos!
By the way, this video inspired me to go bespoke just last week; it's going to be a double-breasted in "middle" grey. Not too dark, not too light.

Wonderful video Hugo, I have spent way too much money for RTW clothes. However, buying bespoke in the US can be challenging and really expensive considering flights to Italy or Paris for fittings. Cheers
Search in larger cities in the US. I am doing the same.
I believe you can still find decent tailors in larger cities. Otherwise all the tailors travel to the USA for fittings. Mainly to New York for the French and Italian tailors, but in all the major cities of the US for the British tailors from Savile Row. Cheers, Hugo
@@RestoreTesting it would be nice to see a video featuring US based tailors.
@@ytram1248 , So much to learn right? Good luck.
