@@SARTORIALTALKS Do you think we can educate (or enlighten) people this way of life? (You mention choice, which sounds almost as if it's a product of free will.)
Spot-on about Black Tie. When I was younger, it was described to me as, "Formal wear is the canvas upon which your date can shine." Whatever color and style she wears looks well next to formal attire.
Magnificent Mr. Jacomet! Your sentiment and passion was captivating! At times, I believe because I try to be gentle and kind to others, and focus on others, that they take my kindness for weakness. Then my wife tells me, it is for the very reason that I am kind and gentle and that I always put her first is the reason she fell in love with me. When we are going out on a date on an elegant occasion, I always ask her what color dress is she wearing. When I wear my suit, I attempt to wear a necktie that matches the color of her dress. When I do this she smiles and I sense her pride in me, because she knows that my heart’s desire is to compliment her and have her be the focus of attention.
And also, in return, your wife also exalts you for being a considerate and refined individual. It's amazing to see a couple compliment one another because it shows genuine union.
"A Gentleman guards his behavior. He understands that he must have integrity. This means that a gentleman does the right thing even when no one is watching”
In so many words a gentleman must also possess a powerful spiritual aura (selfless and centered). Attention seeking behavior turns into narcissism which has plagued America.
Hugo I was hanging on every word of this. Honestly, such an interesting and thought provoking video. These perspectives and facts are important because the concept of being a gentlemen was really at the core of Western European culture, and helped to shape style, art, science, politics and society throughout Europe. This is especially true in British culture as well, where chivalry was still a concept that was propagated up to the First World War and arguably up to the Second. Unfortunately it is much less so now and has been commercialised rather than discussed for its virtues. This is why I am such a fan of the British style, because to me it always has seemed virtuous even moral, to dress and act quietly, discreetly but still with authority. Thanks again. Josh.
I love the way you speak with such passion on a topic. Thank you for your insight, especially your definition of being a gentleman. Much appreciated. I really need to get my hands on your book too!
@@SARTORIALTALKS oh thanks for the reply sir.My point being the way you have used language makes it sound poetic and hence someone with a poetic incline appreciates your sentences sir.All the best to you too,Raghav
Hugo, it has been such a pleasure to have found your videos, I’ve been watching them for the past few days and they are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights. May God Continue to Bless You and Those You Love.
Wow, back in my high school days all teachers and staff addressed the students as gentlemen. It was an all boys school, wonderful to now know the history behind it and your opinion on the use of the term. Very well done, and thank you!
What a masterpiece of a video! It is incredibly hard to find a video where you not only agree with the message, but understand the reasoning behind it. Ett stort tack från Sverige.
Hugo, You are that "rare" breed of intelligence and sartorial splendor with a kind heart. Thank you for all your wonderful, inspiring videos. I view many videos but so far I have only subscribed to your channel. Quality content that is unmatched as far as I am concerned. May you have continued success.
I came to this channel to learn more about bespoke clothing and the art of being a gentleman. I was pleasantly surprised to be encouraged by your life’s story. May you continue to bless others as He blesses you brother.
A true gentleman is never self-proclaimed but is anointed by his peers. I am grateful to you, Monsieur Jacomet, for your eloquence and depth of knowledge on the matter. Thank you for this detailed explanation. This is quite an education!
I agree with Mr. Jamescord, nice shirt! And the tie knot is just perfectly made. I have followed the Sartorial Talks since episode 1, and let me tell you, Mr. Jacomet, GREAT JOB! Your work with this videos, added to your recent book, The Italian Gentleman (which I have ;-), is INSPIRANT. Thank you very much! Looking forward you decide to write The English Gentleman :-D Happy New Year from Colombia
I'm so fortunate to stumble upon this channel. As a woman, I always admire the silhouette of a suit, and I enjoy wearing crisp white shirts (billowy ones, like the Romantic poets over fitted pants (cigarette pants?). In my mind, I always see an image in the styles of equestrian and aviator ('20s) style, but much pared down--softer but structured. And there will always be a scarf. The ensemble, like perfume, is a (pleasurable) must... a uniform so to speak. Thank you, Hugo, for generously sharing your wonderful insights.
Dear M. Jacomet, French history, culture and etiquette have always had me interested. To the extent of cultivating a love for learning French too. Your contribution to making people appreciate the finer things in life is inspiring. Enchanté de faire votre connaissance!
I love the camera angle you used. Instead of talking into the camera, you made it interview-esque. I didn't even notice this until I was 3 videos in -- I thought you were doing an actual interview! Love it, Hugo. I have subscribed.
What a wonderful series of conversations. As a proto-typical poorly attired Englishman was initially drawn to your channel for the nuanced discussion of style and wardrobe but wonderfully, I've been given pause to consider the way I have lived my life and the way I wish to live its remainder. Merci.
Dear Mark, thank you so much for such a touching comment. This is the kind of comment that gives a meaning to what we try to achieve with this channel. Take care, Cheers, Hugo
Having watched every episode so far I have noticed that your humble and passionate nature shines. Many of the suits you wear I have fallen in love with, much to the annoyance of my wife, however I know that given my career goals suiting will become less of an option but more of my life. This is something I look forward to. I’m in my 30s and am now finally dressing better than I ever have, not to show off but to make myself a better version of me. One my wife will be happy to be seen with. Many thanks for all the videos so far and I look forward to more.
Thank you Adam for a beautiful and touching comment. And yes, please be the best version of yourself you can be, and I'sure your beloved wife will adore it. All my best to you, Hugo
I like your generosity in your videos. You provide a lot of info plus you’ve progressed a lot in the way you present yourself (you speak slowlier, it’s quite pleasant to listen to you).
Hugo, it is so refreshing to see tutorials on how a true gentleman should present themselves. We are starved from essentials of substance in the modern time. Also I would love to see a presentation from you about tuxedos, different styles and what are the features we should look for to be more knowledgeable, for example the bow tie size and shape also the overall cut. Thank you so much
Excellent - “you choose to be a gentleman”. A very touching commentary on women. Spot on. A Gene Kelly said - his goal is to make his partner look good.
Mr.Jacomet., Your videos are outstanding, in so many dimensions. You speak with passionate feelings about so many things that here in America have sadly become passe. Pride in ones personal appearance. Is so very important. As well as how an individual comports themselves. In dressing, in manners, in thought as well as in their actions . You sir are a joy to listen to, speaking about your philosophy of couture. And the elegance , and distinction within it's history. I Thank you , humbly, and most sincerely. Stephen Tessier.
Such a true & good explanation about a gentleman. Today's youngsters should watch, learn & apply it's principles especially to create positivity in this chaotic society.
Love this video so much! "Being a boy is a matter of chance, being a man is a matter of age...being a gentleman is a matter of choice." This should be taught in schools. Thank you.
Hugo, you are truly an officer and a gentleman! This video was shared with all the men I know....thank you for addressing such important food for thought as masculinity and the art of being a gentleman are under constant subtle pressure and subversive attack in a politically correct and radical society that seeks to dismantle all traditional "social constructs" that have dignified and delighted many.
M. Jacomet, Thank you for your elegant and concise explanation of what it means to be a gentleman today. Your comments are truly appreciated and well noted.
A wonderful quote, Hugo, I hope I got it right here: ""When a gentleman acts the right way, he does his best to put the attention on others, and not himself." I also really appreciate you talking about kindness, which is something that is greatly missing from the world today.
I think this show is so interesting and i like it so very much that moments ago, i was taking my older son to the Saturday morning football game Here in Brazil! And I was listening hugo’s lecture and in a certain moment my son told me: wow,these are very, very nice comments and I appreciated it that specially from the historical perspective! Than I answered to him, “that’s great i will share the link with you to you subscribe and enjoy! Congratulations Hugo and regards from Brazil
