What a fantastic attitude you have Hugo! I am 17 and just bought a navy single breasted suit from suitsupply for college interviews. Your channel really has opened my eyes and heart to quality clothing and men’s fashion. Thank you for outstanding content!
Thank you Nicholas. I'm so happy we've been helpful and useful. Cheers, Hugo
@doukas We do have Greek gentlemen who are following this channel. I just took a look at the statistics, and in the last 28 days we had precisely 1172 Greek visitors. Cheers! Hugo
Είμαστε αρκετοί εμπνευσμένοι από τον Hugo. :)
That's why I like him also. Great and approachable attitude and willingness to share with others
But Suitsupply doesn't make suits which a Bespoke suit, look at your shoulders, they will never fit if you don't go bespoke...
Hello Hugo,
I am a 16 year old living in London, and around 2 months ago I was in need of a good suit. I had my end of year prom, as well as a summer job in the City of London (the financial district) and so I started researching suits and came across your channel- and it really helped me learn quickly about men's style. Thanks to you, I got many compliments about my ties and suits etc... and still do- and somehow I got a reputation around the office for being a good dresser. So I really wanted to thank you for teaching about men's style and class that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Cheers!
Andrea Olivo
Thank you so much Andrea for your wonderful message. And I wish you all the best for your carrer and for your life. Cheers! Hugo
What sort of patterns/styles are you sporting? It must have been complex to achieve results that draw compliments whilst respecting some degree of conformity and formality expected in finance.
@@fish18ish96 I guess since the financial district has gotten less formal over the years, and I wanted to have some fun with it that I was just more formally dressed than everyone else, also that with a mixture of my age probably helped I assume- I'm no suit guru! But I had a nice classic blue three piece and some grey checked ones, but that with a combination of ties and shirts gave me a new look everyday, using different tie patters and colours with different colour shirts- as you can usually find ties quite cheap, Hugo's advice really helped with this and I guess if you're passionate about it, it shows.
@@andreaolivo3401 What brands have you gotten?
@@MAB_47 TM Lewin and Moss Bros
What I love about this channel is that I trust that the advice given is always genuine and honest, not resulting from sponsorship deals etc. I think I could have saved a lot of money by having had access to this knowledge years ago. Thank you for helping me discover some fantastic brands I have never heard of (Walker Slater and Pini Parma).
Thank you Rafal for watching and commenting. Walker Slater and Pini Parma are good value brands. Good products, elegant and very reasonably priced. Cheers! Hugo
I’m such a big fan of spier and McKay. Glad to see them get more love
Exactly!!! Great stuff for entry level prices! The OTR with very minor alterations fits me exceptionally well.
Thank you Daniel! Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Hugo, big fan of your work (both written and now CZcams content). You are a class act. Genuinely, you are unafraid to be that. It's very refreshing in a culture of "I'm an expert and do no wrong and made no mistakes ever!", and then put on a charade. You are much more knowledgeable but always growing and learning. Both in your love of menswear and the artisans involved, but also in your walk in your faith. Much love,
Chris.
Gosh you are going to make me blush with such strong words. Many thanks, Hugo
This is my first time hearing of them and I must say, I am going to do a bit of research on their suits because I like the look of them!
Hugo, there is something about your demeanor that simply keeps me glued to the screen. Your videos are highly informative and enjoyable to watch.
Thank you so much Grann for your kind words of encouragement. Best, Hugo
i have just watched this in both the French and English language versions .
Having lived in France for the best part of 30 years now , I find it amazing just how detailed and closely translated the both are , with little to no lost in translation moments .
I could probably listen to Hugo talk about socks and find things interesting and educational .
Classe & Inspiration
Wow! Hugo and Sonya, thank you so much for these types of videos.
I am a young(25) year old guy. I live in the eastern US, and I have been wanting to expand my suit wardrobe for a while now.
The problem is, there ar so many different companies out there that offer the entry-level suit, that it can be hard to decide which company to go with(especially if you are just getting into the sartorial world, as I am).
This video provided a lot of great information for me.
I really appreciate it!
Cheers!
You are so very welcome my friend ! Cheers, Hugo
Will you ever do a video of you getting measured for a bespoke suit and take us through the whole process? Some people might be scared by the whole concept of bespoke so that video would help a lot!
Wonderful idea, thank you so much! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you for everything you do! Hvala ti Hugo! ("Merci Hugo" in croatian)
@@SARTORIALTALKS Also I would love to see your collection of shirts, overcoats and shoes like we did your suits!
@@SARTORIALTALKS I second this idea.
Dear Krunoslav, dear Nicholas, we have already recorded two episodes on my shoe collection and one on my overcoats collection. They will go live here in a few weeks. Cheers! Hugo
Thank you so much for the video and recommendations. I am on the first steps of my sartorial path and beginning to look for better quality in RTW. It put a smile on my face when you mentioned Spier & Mackey. I have enjoyed pieces I have purchased and to be able to have the fabrics they offer is fantastic. Now I have more sources to enjoy and for that I thank you and Sonya very much.
You are very welcome Patrick ! Cheers, Hugo
Last time I went to Suit supply in Dallas I spent 750us. It's a gray one, very nice. I did it because you recommend the color and brand in one of your videos and certainly will be back. I was kind of a Brooks and brothers guy, but I love trying out the stuff you recommend. Just looked at Spier and that looks nice. I might do that. I hope you realize the influencer power you have in all of us. :). Love the new format of your videos Hugo.
Many thanks Hermann for your kind words. My aim is not exactly to influence, but to share 15 years of experience in this field and likely inspire the gentlemen who are following our work. I prefer "inspiring" than "influencing" even if the result may be the same. Cheers my friend! Hugo
Wonderful video, as usually! BOGGI was for me, the entrance to elegant clothing. I do not own a suit from them but I own a couple of blazers, ties, trousers,, overcoats and plenty of magnificent socks! I intend to visit suit supply in my next visit to Duesseldorf this October.
Good morning George, good idea ! Let us know how it went. Best, Hugo
I stumbled upon your channel looking at polishing my shoes and I cannot even start to express how great your content is! The Value you bring with your knowledge is Fantastic Hugo.
Thank You Hugo. Just found your channel recently and I truly appreciate the honest, down to earth approach to fashion. In the short time I have been watching your channel I have learned a lot. Thank you Sir for great content.
Thanks to you, I bought my first pair of quality dress shoes (Black Park Avenues) from Allen Edmonds. I bought them used for $100 and in great condition! My parents get mad when I show them the type of high-quality clothing I want to purchase in the near future. I have yet to buy a quality suit but this video will help me a lot. Thank you, Hugo!
Dear Uriel, I bet your parents will ultimately be proud to see how elegant (and different from the crowd) you will be when you'll acquire your first quality suit. Good luck my friend ! Hugo
Such amazing advice and responsible tips for those on the beginning stages of a sartorial journey. Really this could apply to those at any stage who want to try something new without breaking the bank on a new look while establishing fit. Bravo!
Merci Manny ! Hugo
Excelent!! will be looking into these very soon. Thank you so much,just learned of your channel a few hours ago and cannot stop watching,such great honest down to earth people in this movement-they act just like they dress ,with the utmost integrity. Much love from Colorado where nobody wears suits and go to church in their everyday jeans.
Thank you for the recommendation regarding Pini Parma! I bought my first PP double breasted navy suit and the quality is astonishing. I too find the quality higher than that of Suitsupply. Definitely worth trying, also the style is more mature and assertive. Cheers from Helsinki, Finland, a la prochaine fois!
I remember watching this video a year or so ago, and since then I’ve purchased suits from a few of these brands, I wanted to add that I just purchased two suits from Hawes and Curtis in the UK from their 1913 collection, they’re both Guabello fabric, one a super 120s wool and the other a cotton/linen blend although they do not specify the mill on the website when ordering the suit. Very nice fabric and construction, however as a US42R chest and 36 waist, they are a little snug as compared to Spier and MacKay, and SuitSupply in the same size. They were each in the $700-$800 range.
Really respect you are promoting the smaller companies who offer great value. I personally have experience on 3 of the brands you mentioned, all are tremendous value. Also I'm really excited to check out walker slater, very interesting tweed collection. Thanks
Thank you Erli for your input. And yes, Walker Slater is a great brand. Cheers! Hugo
Any preference on the 3 you've tried ?
Hugo you are the man!!! Although I have been a fan of sartorial dress for a while, you are a fountain of new information these videos are sartorial gold.
I made a bucket list trip to ltaly this past April. My dream was to have a bespoke suit made while there. I was introduced to Boggi in Rome, Milan was next on our trip so l waited to go to Boggi Milan. At the Boggi Milan store l purchased a ready to wear single breasted 2 button full canvas Loro Piano cloth suit, and l love it! It was good to here you speak so highly of Boggi. I'm a happy customer.
I'm so glad to read this Harold! Cheers, Hugo
First of all, thank you so much for being an enthusiast in a world of snobs.
It is a joy to share your passion for the art and craftsmanship in the high end. But for me, my wallet, my priorities, and in the end my budget, this is actually a lot more useful. It is good to see that you are able to appreciate the good efforts that are made in price ranges well below anything you would buy for yourself.
I would like to ask you to please explore reasonably prices made to measure. I tend not to get a good fit with ready to wear, being somewhat "rotund" (you've just got to love the english for their eufemisms). So, for those of us in need of personalized fit, but unable to afford bespoke. We would have good use for this.
We also use "corpulent" in French. Where do you live Thomas ? Hugo
Thanks for taking time to reply, Hugo. Now, "corpulent" sounds a bit more honest to my ears, and I quite like that too. I'm in Norway, not a country of strong sartorial tradistions, but a country with a small and spread population, and high labour cost. Taking it up a notch from slight alterations of ready to wear would be nice.
The best advise would presumably be vacation related or internet based.
Thank you for sharing Hugo. This is unrelated to the video but... I would appreciate an episode strictly about all accessories a gentleman should have (from essential to extravagant, and appropriate time to wear each) to compliment his wardrobe. The tie, pocket square, and cufflinks are most known but I get the sense that there are many unexplored options out there that novices like myself may be unaware of. Thank you in advance for your consideration, caio.
Dear Lucas, we will probably address this topic one day or another. However, we've been releasing already 4 videos on men's accessories on our Patreon page for our members.

I like the fact that Hugo does not come across as arrogant but sticks to value proposition. Good channel!
Merci KeeKee ! Hugo
I just bought a navy or teal colored blazer from suitsupply, and it was my first buy from them. I will tell you that it fits me perfectly. I went with the Washington cut because of that lovely peak lapel and hourglass cut plus side vents of course. I’m a believer now!
Hugo, you are a gem! What would we do without you! Thank you so much my friend! My best to your lovely wife as well!
Thank you my friend for your kind words. Cheers! Hugo
Can confirm. I've been a Boggi customer...and their complimentary alteration service is excellent.
Many thanks for your feedback! Hugo
I was waiting for you to comment on more affordable suits and why they are so. Construction, including canvassed versus fused linings, differentiate product. The first time a fused suit delaminates from a poor dry cleaning or being caught in the rain, men are interested in learning the difference. We don't have Boggi in the US ...yet. Love your channel.
Pini Parma here i come. Super informative and cheers from USA
Hugo is very knowledgeable about this amazing world. We always learn anything new.
He is a great storyteller!
Excellent video my dear Hugo with an interesting tour about very good brands, specially my favorite Boggi Milano, and by the way ,,i loved your light jacket with the open last button and the contrast of the pocket square, as usual very elegant my friend))))), love from Cairo,
Thank you my good friend Nader! I hope all is well for you. Cheers, Hugo
I have found this channel kind of late but not too late. It has given me so much insite how to dress and how to recognize quality. I really like your style hugo because even though of being so successful you remain very humble which show so much karacter . In many occasions fame and money tend to rise to people their head , thereby forgetting about the common people who once they where too. Again thank you for your passion and effort you put in this. You feel it when you talk..
I recently came across your videos and I love everything about them. I was looking for a new suit and this video helped me have a great idea of what to look for. One thing I would love to see in a future video is a similar guide to buying shirts, with some brand recommendations like you did here. Looking forward to more videos!
Looking good, Hugo! That orange pocket square totally pops! It is making happy for the arrival of Fall and all of the wonderful colors that accompany it!
On an unrelated note, I'm totally becoming a patron! I'll sign up next week.
Oh thank you so much Max! All my best, Hugo
I was recommended Suitsupply by a top model I spoke to through Instagram. An wow I open up CZcams an this was the first video. Love Satorial talks I watch them regularly, Hugo love the passion you have its infectious.
That is either a great affirmation or a coincidence :) At any rate, I do believe the advice you received is sound. Glad you wrote and thanks for commenting! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS keep up the great work Hugo & Sonya, "Fashion is the armour, to survive the reality of every day life" *****

I am so happy to have stumbled across you channel. You are the mentor I didn’t realise I needed in my life. I was initially searching for inspiration for my wedding suit and have decided that this is the change I need to introduced into my life.
I’m sure my wife-to-be will be thrilled to discover my newly found passion for fine shoes and suits.
Newly subscribed and thoroughly enjoying watching all of your previous videos.
🥂
What a fantastic episode! I have always been very cautious of Suit Supply. I'm always cautious when a brand advertises so much. But another influencer also told me recently "For OTR, it's the best quality". By accident, I walked by the Suit Supply store in NYC and walked in. I was very impressed. The quality seemed pretty good. The service was excellent.
With Spier and Mackay... Also curious about the quality. I've seen some influencers where some things and they looked good. I LOVE their peacoat and will probably add one or two for next Fall. The pricing seems good and you can even make some customizations.
I'm going to look at the others. Enzo Custom in NYC will probably do my first, good suit. But I may go with these others for separates.
Thank you!
I just love to find second hand amazing garments like from Zegna, Lardini.. and others not so sartorial or well known but with a lovely cut and cloth. One time I have found a Brioni sport coat for 2 euro.. so yeah so many great finds
Brioni for 2 euros is the deal of the millenium ! Hugo
Great video as always Hugo! Been a fan of SuitSupply since 2011 and Walker Slater is one of mine and my wifes favourite shops and brands..Their suits are amazing for the price and their service is top notch..
I agree with you concerning WS. Great Scottish company. Hugo
Hello
Thanks for Walker Slater which i didn’t knew. There is also a small Spanish company that’s great : Lopez Aragon 👍
It’s basically MTO, made in Spain, with a large choice of fabrics, and a sizing system that will allow almost any one to fit in !
Thanks for the information. Best, Hugo
I like Hugo's broad lapels
I have just watched the two versions french and english of your videos Hugo.
To compare the fluency of your eloquence i m so happy to see that we obvisouly notice that your french accent remains and the way of your talking remains french one it puts so valuable in your explaination .
Yours from France 🇫🇷
You (and Sonya love your wife Hugo) are simply the BEST! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PRODUCTION.
Many thanks Menapho! Cheers, Hugo & Sonya
Greetings from Washington, D.C. Hugo and Sonia, I am a big fan. I am starting my sartorial journey and thank you for all you do. I plan on buying my first two RTW suits. I am undecided whether to get them half canvas or spending more on full canvas. I am still learning and don’t want to overspend nor waste my money. I am considering Pini Parma, Boggi Milano, or Spier and McKay. Thank you in advance. Cheers!
I must say that I prefer the older title sequence.
Other than that no complaints, I love your content. Another great episode!
Thank you!
Dear friend, it's because we were used to it probably. And also because on the opening sequence of this video, the music is mixed slightly too high. Cheers! Hugo
You never disappoint with your content Hugo, will be visiting walker Slater tomorrow in London .Thanks !
Ah great! Please send us a feedback of your visit if you can. Merci! Hugo
Could you also do a video on ready to wear suits brands above entry level value brands? For example mid tier and high end designer suit brands including Canali, Zegna, Ralph Lauren Purple Label and etc. would be good to get your views. Thx
Your talks amaze me! I wish one day I could meet you in person just to look at you and listen to you over a cup of tea. After a long time of continuous searching for a reasonably priced but sartorial gentlemen’s clothing store, I got to know about Walker Slater from your talk just today! I will visit Walker Slater Glasgow tomorrow. My home is not very far from it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I would also recommend ring jacket from Japan. Though a little bit hard to find as they don't have their own retail shop.
Dear Mark, Ring Jacket is a great brand but not on the same price bracket as the 5 we mention here. Many thanks for your contribution. Cheers, Hugo
if I recall correctly, my best friend had his suit made by "indochino" - it fit very well on him so I cannot really say anything negative there. Everybody has to start somewhere - you cannot just expect somebody who is getting started to drop several thousand dollars on bespoke.
Would it be fair to say that bespoke suits are like wearing black suits? You shouldn't buy a black suit until you know a little about what you want in your style, just as you shouldn't get a bespoke suit until you know your taste in fashion
16:16 That right there made my jaw drop! What a fantastic look!
Dear Jacob, I don't see any "look" at 16:16 (it's a photo of the Walker Slater shop on Victoria Street). Can you clarify my friend ? Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Dear Hugo, that's exactly what I meant. The composition of the colors of the clothing in the shop window is impeccable.
@@Jacob011 Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood; And you are absolutely right, both their shops (for men and ladies) are stunning and decorated with a lot of excellent taste. Cheers! Hugo
Thank you so much for the interesting talk! I love that you take your time to explain everything really well. Especially for the young guys out here...
You are very welcome Simon. Hugo
Very interesting video Hugo, I myself have two Boggi sportsjackets, one in navy blue flannel and one in hazelnut corduroy. Will definitely check out your recommendations.
Glad to know and hope to hear back from you should you decide to try other options as well. Cheers! Hugo
Excellent video Hugo and Sonia!
Some were familiar and some were new to me but all five alternatives are great example of that you don’t need to settle for cheaply made suits if you don’t have the opportunity to go bespoke. Pini Parma is new to me and it’s a brand I’m really excited about so I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the suggestion!
Best regards
Andreas
Many thanks Andreas for your message and for your appreciation. Cheers, Hugo
The video is specifically for off-the-racks, but I think that nowadays MTM is a better option and science. That is the reason I think Lanieri, which falls in the same price category, was not mentioned. Give it a try, and if you decide to shop, use CIPRIAN_100 as a substantial voucher code.
Hugo Jacomet, big fan of your show, you are doing a fantastic job educating people like me on the options available for men to dress well. I talk so much about you that my wife knows who you are.
In one of your future shows can you please talk about on how to select a tie for suit and also looking to hear more about your shoe collection.
Dear friend, I hope your wife is happy you has developed an interest in the sartorial culture. Two episodes on my shoe collection has been recorded and should be released soon. And yes, we will speak about ties. Actually we already did released 4 episodes on men's accessories but for our members on our Patreon page.

I have a MTM Suit Supply on the top end of their range. S180 wool, Pick stitching, hand sown alcantara undercollar, working mop buttons. It’s very nice.
But it gets bested by my made to measure suit from Itawon purely on fit. The Korean suit is just better fit, it lacks some of the luxury touches, but it looks better.
Fit is so important
I just bought jacket, tie and trousers from Pini Parma. I was very concerned about size of jacket and trousers but everything fits perfectly. Jacket looks like made to my measure, great materials. They shipped everything in a very short period of time. Great Company
Thanks for your feedback. I'm considering placing an order with Pini Parma as well.
Your talks are informative and come from a man who has had his skin in the game for decades
Haha, yes for decades !! Cheers Yogesh, Hugo
Wow, excellent and very helpful, down-to-earth review from a connosieur. This is huge help to 99% of people for whom Savile Row-level is unneccessary or/and unattainable but would still like style and quality.
With great pleasure my friend, Hugo
Hugo, I’ve just looked at Walker Slater, wonderful! Just what I was looking for! Green herringbone Harris Tweed!
I'm so glad to read this Simon. This is an excellent company managed by good, honest and competent people. And of course their Harris Tweed jackets are just perfect (and affordable). What else ? Best, Hugo

"Commande" is not a synonym between English and French. Commande in French means "request" in English
Thanks Hugo! Definitely know more now about where I believe I will go to for my first suit. I do think though before i'll try to get some good measurements taken, that way I don't waste too much of their stock.
Dear Jeffery, please let us know from which maker you'll acquire your first suit and send au some feedback ! Cheers, Hugo
Fantastic round the world tour of ready to wear suitmakers. Thank you.
Of affordable suit makers my friend. Cheers! Hugo
Mr. Jacomet, I’ve been a fan of your style and you tube Chanel along with your wife Sonya for some time. I’ve been eyeing Spier and Mackey but I was reluctant to invest in their garments but after seeing you endorse S&M, am going to purchase my first item from them. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work
Many thanks James and please let us know if you've been satisfied with them. Cheers, Hugo
Thank you so much for this video! One of the best in your channel! I learn so much from you and I hope someday you may come to Brazil for a workshop or something.
We hope too Thiago ! Best , Hugo & Sonya
Hello Hugo. I just recently subscribed to your channel. You, sir, are blessing and a wealth of knowledge to the sartorial world!
I noticed your go-to color for your pocket squares is rust/burnt orange, which I realize after watching many of your videos is quite a versatile color. If you don’t mind, would you please let me know where you acquired them as I am having difficulty finding that perfect shade?
Thank you so much for being an inspiration in style and grace!
Of course MC, I got mine from Simonnot Godard in France. Try contacting them through Instagram if it's easier for you. Thanks ! Hugo
I wish Suit Supply can make a suit as elegant as the one your wearing Hugo.
I hope you do a video with at least one of those stores
My suit is a bespoke suit crafted by hand, with 3 fittings. Not the same product at all my friend. Cheers, Hugo
Mr. Jacomet, I would like to add that the British brand Charles Tyrwhitt create some fine suits for a relatively low price point - particularly their new "Birdseye Travel Suit", which is made of Super 120s wool cut and to quite a classic silhouette. I wear mine almost daily and can highly recommend it.
Thanks Hugo. Great to know about Suit Supply & the other brands. I am a big fan of Boggi Milano. Their suits, jackets and shirts are amazing. Great to be able to buy online too.
Thanks Grant! All my best, Hugo
Hello Hugo,
Thanks for the great video! I am about to start university so this video is quite helpful. I also like second-hand a lot, great suits for a fraction of the price.
During the holidays I was in London and came across a great shop, Thomas Farthing, I can only recommend. :)
Cheers from Switzerland!
Hello Mark ! Yes, the second hand market is also a very interesting place to find incredible deals, but you have to know a good alteration tailor (which is a very precious thing to have in life). I don't know Thomas Farthing, but will check on them. Best! Hugo
I have to say that the photos on the website don’t show the clothes to their best. But I have bought a DB jacket, merino and cashmere blend, English cloth, herringbone pattern in sale for 159£ and I am most pleased with it.
Cheers,
Mark
i really like their custom program of suitsupply i order all my high waisted pleated trousers from them one is seersucker other is cotton corduroy the other is wool etc just the simple way of ordering with your saved measuring info and quality fabrics mentioned you know it was always the trousers and shoes for me thats was hard to order somehow the measuring always failed for me i had to send 2 carmina pair of shoes back to the store because its so hard to determinde your specific size some things like suitsupply custom program i will hold on to!
I love your presence, the way you communicate, and your wonderful insights about mens fashion. Thank you!
You are very welcome my friend. stay safe ! Hugo
Great video, really informative from a man who knows what he is talking about. I found your channel while looking at real men real styles channel, and you guys have me thinking that i should go up a notch in the style department, this from a guy who never wears a suit, so i thought i would try to get use to wearing jackets first, or use a suit jacket as a type of blazer, just to get use to the feel of one. I usually wear a pair of chinos and a button shirt and trainers for footwear, so i thought where to look to find inexpensive suits, so i could make use of just the jacket for now. I found some great deals on Ebay, Preworn shops and individual sellers, made sure of my measurements first, and ordered a few, 5 suits to be exact, all for 150 Euro. And low and behold they were all a perfect fit, well to me anyway they seem fine, 2 navy suits, a grey suit, and 2 brown, and each of the jackets seem to compliment my different colour chinos. i already had a pair of doc martens shoes, without the yellow stitching, and i feel i could wear the jackets most days, i even found a nice pair of brown brogues that go with all the mix and matching in my jackets and chinos, as well as moleskin trousers, the brogues, from Samuel Windsor, again at a good price.
None of these items will break the bank if i hated wearing them, and never wore them again, but, i love the way they feel, now it is just getting use to wearing them, i wish i had done this years ago, just by adding a nice well fitting jacket to my usual attire, and the pair of brogues rather than trainers every day, has made me feel more confident. One of the suits is a Jaegar mayfair, and to me it feels like good quality, that was 50 euro, i will keep that jacket and trousers as one outfit, in case i need a suit in a hurry, the trousers from the others will work well as summer trousers with most of my shirts, so i will get good use out of everything i bought. And when i finally get use to wearing these, i can see myself buying a suit from piniparma. I leaned from you guys, that style and feeling good about yourself, seem to go together, and its never too late to change. One question i have, with a jacket and complimenting trousers, is it OK to wear a white or suede pair of Nike Air Force Ones, to me they look great, and feel good. Your opinion Hugo would be welcomed.
Many thanks Michael for your wonderful and interesting comment. We are very glad you enjoy this new way of dressing. Concerning wearing Nikes with a suit, it's not something I would do, but if YOU feel good about it and like it, go ahead! Elegance is a personal matter and not a science, thank God! All my best to you, Hugo
Bonjour Hugo! Je suis un Québécois vivant à Montreal et je dois dire que j'apprécie le travail que tu fais avec ta femme. Félicitations!
My first visit to Suitsupply on Madison Ave., New York was an amazing experience! I thought I was in suit heaven lol. I truly felt at home there. I don't think many people being up this point when talking about them, but many...probably all of their items can be used interchangeably. Something about their color schemes work together. Kind of like West Elm, but for the fashion world.
Spier and Mackay is great. You have to bring the suit to the tailor to get it adjusted, and it will look and feel great.
Thanks for your feedback Marcio! Very valuable. Hugo
incredible good information. Iam already regular customer of suitsupply. beeing from the netherlands it is for me very easy to visit a nearby shop (always good to see and try things in real first) and buy online ofcourse. Iam planning to try Boggi for example soon. Thank you Hugo, for these.
Just find a great tailor, bring him the materials and you're on the right side.
Such a great value in Hugo video`s that just changed my life, the way i dress and behave.
Thank you a lot Hugo, one day i wish i could meet you in person.
God bless🙏
I would love to my friend. Are you from Romania ? We may go there for some book signing events in the next months. Cheers! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Yes, how can i get in touch with you? I follow you on facebook too in case you post something about you're trip in Ro. 🙏
Those are all great producers of classic menswear. But I cannot accept that most of the suits are "slim fit", only some have pleats. When the fashion changes, this will change too but only a customised suit will give you always your preferred fit. Thank you for the interesting video!
You are welcome my friend, and MTM is of course a great option too for those who don't have a regular figure or who want to experience the joy of custom clothing. Beware though, there are more an more MTM operations out there who are anything but tailors and who provide very bad results. MTM does not always mean good fit, by far. Cheers! Hugo
I want to thank you for your recommendation of Spier and Mackay. I bought a beautiful suit from them on sale for $187 usd on sale after a coupon. It was a risk on a final sale suit, I have a large problem with shoulder divots which is why I usually go for unpadded or soft shoulders. The arm hole is a great match, drapes well, no collar gap. I have been working on building a better wardrobe, thank you Hugo for your recommendations on non bespoke suits until I save up and find the right tailor.
Hello Hugo I hope that this finds you well, may I say thank you for making my Friday evening complete with another fantastic video, and if I may make a surggestion if I may , and nice ready to wear suit that we sell in the gentleman’s out fitters where I work is a German company by the name of Carl Gross , all the best and kind regards your friend Ryan.
Many thanks Ryan for the information. Cheers, Hugo
my first two suits were from Boggi, being from Milan it was a no brainer for me to choose them out of university for my banking internship, really good quality/price and they are also really well prepared in helping you find the right fit for your ready made suit. plus of course they take measures to give the suit the necessary fixes because luckily we are all different. for now a 2 button and a doppio petto from them and i'm really satisfied about those two pieces i bought
Thank you for your feed-back ! Cheers, Hugo
THANK YOU for your uploads. Such a wealth of information!
Fantastic advice to someone starting his “sartorial journey”, choosing SuitSupply or Boggi is a decent quality yet relatively inexpensive way to develop your taste to a degree that you avoid making major mistakes, like choosing red velour with flared trousers for your first suit, which you intend to be going to work in.
Ahhhh ! Encore une excellente vidéo ! Grosse découverte me concernant pour Pini Parma qui a vraiment retenu mon attention ! Ils font des pièces très "racées" je trouve, avec un style très italien et un peu extravagant (dans le bon sens du terme). Encore merci du partage Hugo ! Je n'ai pas eu le temps d'attendre la version VF pour commenter ! 😁
Haha, merci Kevin! Pini Parma est en effet une très bonne adresse! Cheers, Hugo
I shop at Spier and Mackay because I live very close to their showroom in Toronto. Their prices are amazing for what you get
Thank you Alex for your comment and your feedback on S&M. Best, Hugo
Arm holes are very very high !! My ears pricked up!! You've sold me on piniparma. Arm holes that makes it impossible to move, That is the one thing that I cannot get on with ready to wear suits
Love Spier and Mackay! Have a bunch of their OTR items and have two MTM suits. Amazing quality for price.
Thank you Thomas for your feedback. Cheers! Hugo
Thank you so much for this review .. been trying to find brands other that suitsupply which have similar quality on its fabrics ... beautiful tweeds had watched on your video .. Gracias Hugo!
You are so very welcome my friend! Hugo
If you are interested in quality, Italian crafted tailored garments I can't recommend enough using CIPRIAN_100 as a substantial discount code on www.Lanieri.com MTM shop. For me, the fit was perfect and the fabrics luxurious, with a wide range of selection.
A very useful compilation of some interesting houses, especially Walker Slater, which were not on my map. I will certainly check them out in the near future.
Since you mentioned MTM: Are you planning on making a feature on some of the small emerging made-to-measure houses? If so: May I suggest taking a look at Maximilian Mogg? A charming fellow, very distinct cuts (also a DB lover! ;) and a more than average number of measurements taken. He certainly deserves your attention!
Cheers!
Many thanks for your comment and suggestion. We know Maximilian Mogg because we are good friends with Maximilian Mucska in Bratislava (with whom Moog works). And the problem concerning the emerging little MTM salons, is that they are too many. Hundreds of them, ranking from horrible to excellent. But we'll certainly give it a try. Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Right! Last time I spoke to Max we briefly touched on his fabulous experience with and ongoing relationship to Mr Mucska. And you are totally right: There are way too many to cover. But some certainly stand out. :)
Excellent video. Of these I was only familiar with Suit Supply. I’m excited to try these other companies! Have you heard of Oliver Wicks? I think they offer a fantastic value for money for a made to measure suit and the tailor reimbursement they offer for any additional tailoring you might need is the best I’ve heard of. Their customer service was really good as well when I bought from them. I’ll certainly be buying from them again.
Good evening Chris. No I'm not familiar with OW (I've just heard about them). I will take a close look at their work of course. Many thanks, Hugo
Hello Hugo, thank you for all the great information about men's Style. You inspired me to geht my first Suite and nearly made me try to pursue a career in tailoring 😅(I was questioning my current path in life when I stumbled upon your Channel). Could you make a list of german bespoke and made to measure tailors you can recommend ?
Thank you, Stefan
Boggi is my favourite suit brand
Thanks for weighing in with your vote/opinion. Cheers! Hugo
Great video! I'm glad that your passion for tailoring is not just about shilling for elite tailors like some other bloggers.
It's our duty to address all price brackets in order to help everybody feeling more elegant. Elegance has never been only a matter of means. Thank God! Cheers, Hugo
Hi Hugo, what an excellent video. Your explanations and descriptions are always great. Thank you for sharing with us about this sartorial style. I have a question for you relating to the entry level suits and jacket. How about your opinion on Ring Jacket product? How it is compared to 5 other brands you mentioned? I am new into this sartorial world, and currently having one bespoke jacket from local tailor in Indonesia - Brillington Brother. It is a great jacket but would like to explore other brands or if possible other tailors in entry level.
Dear Bryan, we wrote on Brillington on our website here : parisiangentleman.co.uk/2019/02/01/how-to-find-decent-and-affordable-tailoring-in-south-east-asia/
Concerning Ring Jacket, this is a great brand, but not in the same price bracket as the ones listed in this video. Cheers! Hugo
You're my favorite go to site & when it comes to the Best dress Man.Hugo in my book you're definitely a Hugo Boss ! in my 📖 😃
Grateful for this very useful information. :-) Hope you both are doing well.
I've no idea how I missed this video back in August but I'm glad I found it now! I recently upped my shoe style now I think it's time for an actual suite 😁
First of all, thank you for your work. Listening to you is really fascinating.
If I might suggest something, especially since also the beautiful Sonya is passionate about suit, would be very nice to dedicate an episode to women tailoring - especially pin point it us the tailors specialized in women, which are quite few
