That very last shoe by Jimenez is absolutely outstanding
I agree, among the best shoemakers in the world. Cheers, Hugo
I didn't even watch the video but I know it will be great. Hugo and Sonya always deliver.
That's very kind of you Krunoslav! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Your videos always make my day. Thank you for your work!
Liked before the vid even started because, let's face it, we all know it's gonna be great
Hahaha you are so kind and gracious with us !! Cheers my friend, Hugo
I waited 3 minutes as I didn't want to appear too excited. T.I.G. book (beautiful quality btw) arrived very recently but I still haven't found where the thumbs up button is!!
I'm about to order my second Mario Bember MTM for my wedding in August. They will be black loafers under a deep blue pinstripe DB (6x2) suit. My first pair were Burgundy Boots and I'm very happy with them! Thank you very much for your tip in "The Italian Gentleman"!
I don't have the money to buy these top world class shoes but Hugo and Sonya taught me how a really good shoe looks like. I bought my first pair of Oxfords one month ago. Without these people I would continue without even know the importance of knowing this.
They both are certainly a blessing to this platform
Thank you for your super sweet message my friend. Best of luck to you, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS tremendous insight, orientation and guidance. For sharing your taste I say Merci!
Hugo, you inspired me. Last year I purchased my first pair of Goodyear welted shoes. A bit embarrassing to admit, but I just didn't know anything or think much about shoes until I started watching you and Sonia. Merci!
Congratulations on such beautiful shoe collection, this is something that requires patience , means and then more patient. But appreciation of what has being created by an artist for one"s unique anatomy is perhaps the most important aspect of this subject. And, it never ends for there is always the next !!!. Thank you.
Yes Robert, always dreaming of the next one for sure! Hugo
Thank you very much for the input. I love the loafers, never saw this patina in suede leather... they are amazing!
Yes, Corthay are quite creative in this - difficult - exercise ! Cheers, Hugo
Hugo, your Mario Bemer Cap Toe Oxfords are exquisite...!! I love the burgundy too, such versatile colour with a beautiful chisel toe design and brogue accents. They remind me very much of the only pair of John Lob's that I have owned! Unfortunately they were taken from me when my case was stolen on a trip to one of the African nations! Your tastes in bespoke are a true reflection of the craftsmanship of the artisans who create such truly spectacular pieces of bespoke footwear and clothing! Absolutely love your collection...!!
Thank you so much my brother in Christ. Cheers, Hugo
Dear Hugo, I have seen many other shoe/suit/etc blogs of JF, Kirby, Vladimir etc etc etc - they are v.good but YOU ARE EASILY THE BEST. Your knowledge, experience, network & ATTITUDE makes your blogs V.V
GRIPPING + V.V.ADDICTIVE. I have learnt (& thoroughly enjoyed) A LOT from your blogs. MUCH RESPECT. Rgds, David Sengupta
Well, you've inspired me to finally pick up a pair of burgundy shoes. Great collection!
How am I not supposed to love an enlightening video about shoes like this...
This is a mix of expert knowledge, brilliance and style flowing from the fountain of Master Hugo.
I remain your humble student forever at thy feet.
Stand up my friend. We can only be a the feet of the Lord. Love from France, Hugo
That suit is just Epic!!!
Outstanding, thanks for sharing. I'm starting a new collection myself this year and these videos are inspiring.
I'm so glad to read this David. Best of luck, Hugo
Incredible collection Hugo, those shoes are a work of Art, Bravo Sir
Thank you ! Cheers, Hugo
I really enjoyed the look at your shoe collection. Thank you for sharing.
You are so very welcome! Hugo
Hugo, you should do a Sartorial Talk on boots! You mentioned the high boots by Stivaleria Savoia you are having made. I have always wondered how these types of boots can be worn without looking absurd or being too feminine. I live in a cold climate, and taller boots would be perfect for the winter months.
This guy is awesome. Very addicting videos.
Thanks a lot! I was Waiting for it so long!
I have 10 pairs of leather shoes and i'm feeling guilty indulgence... Im amazed at his collection. Beautiful!
Many thanks my friend, Cheers, Hugo
I relate with your taste in which I'm not a penny, tassel loafers guy, rather I like statement shoes. I was blown away with the Boltoni
This model by Bontoni is, indeed, an absolute marvel ! Cheers, Hugo
Thank you again Hugo. I was, as always, my pleasure and an inspiration.
Many thanks Patrick! Hugo
Thank you Hugo for another excellent video! I hope you will consider making a 'My overcoat collection' series!
Actually, my overcoat "collection" is already recorded. Cheers! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Very much looking forward to that!!!
Give me the Bontoni all day, all year!! The reverse stitched shoe is a nice one as well 😊
This video and part 1 were wonderful. What caught my eye (in addition to the shoes) was your pant hem at 1:42 when you showed the Mario Bemer burgundy shoes. I have never seen a pant hemmed like this with a small slit on the side. Tres chic!
Amazing truly amazing all the best Hugo, your friend Ryan.
many thanks Ryan ! Hugo
Great video and your suit is my favorite of all the videos I’ve seen !
It's a bespoke suit by Sartoria Manna in Napoli. Great people and excellent value. Hugo
I agree. The suit color and pattern is exquisite. The necktie, shirt, and pocket square are a great complement to the suit and each other.
Once again, thank you for sharing this exquisite insight into high end bespoke shoes. If it's not too much to ask, I am sure many others may agree too, I would like to see these shoes being paired with clothes. With patinas and colors like that I really wonder how or what 'you' would dress it with. Merci d'avance!
Snoqualmie is a name from the Pacific Northwest, USA. I am a woman who appreciates beautiful men's shoes. Thank you!
You are very welcome! And thank you for the explanation. Hugo
Quelle collection, bon Dieu...Que des pièces uniques. Des vraies œuvres d'arts. Bravo aux artistes géniteurs de ces souliers. Comme vous, je suis aussi fier d'eux. Encore félicitations.
Vous restez une inspiration pour le monde.
Thank you Hugo. What wonderful tastes you have.
Bontoni, true work of art !
I'd love to meet you in person and listen to your lesson about sartorial for hours. Hahaha! May you always in good health, sir
Thank you my friend, and maybe you'll meet us one day, God's willing. Hugo
You Pronounced Snoqualmie perfectly, It is a native american tribal name in the Pacific Northwest. (U.S.) it is also the name of a river and falls there. J Fitzpatrick named many of his shoes after places in the Seattle region of the Pacific Northwest.
Thank you Asher for the explanation. Cheers! Hugo
Nothing better than a notification from PG :)
I know something better : a bottle of Bourgogne red wine :-) Hugo
In no particular order, my favorites are the first Corthay Vendome (4), the G&G Deco Oxfords (7), the Paolo Scafora reverse stitched Oxfords (9), the Bemer Bespokes (11), and the Meccariello Bespokes (12). All amazing-looking shoes!
With my shoes, I'm kinda on the cheap side but also appreciate good quality, so I look for a lot of factory seconds and used shoes that are in decent condition.
Jeez the color on #11 is stunning! Beautiful, beautiful shoes! Ok I want this in a ladies version with a 4 inch cigar heel keep all other details. :)
Love your talks. (Perfect match tie and suit)
Many Thanks Joaquin! Hugo
I am a Seattle native and can enlighten you, a little. Snoqualmie is a mountainous area in the USA, in Washington State. Snoqualmie Pass is the place where most people cross the Cascade Mountains to get to and from the Greater Seattle Area. It is also one of the places we go to experience nature. Very majestic, inspiring landscapes: big pines and rocky slopes. Everything feels wild and regal and on a slightly grander scale.
After watching this video about your shoe collection I am contemplating whether it is better to eat food or to wear beautiful shoes. And beautiful shoes keeps winning! Shoes are a direct reflection of one's mental state -- playful, formal, daring, unabashedly conservative, avant garde, etc. -- and thus are a window to the sole (pardon the pun)! Hugo, I cannot imagine what it must be like to be your feet!! Ha!! Je vous souhaite un plein succès dans vos entreprises futures!
That is one tasty collection of shoes Hugo!
Merci Fatih ! Hugo
You are such an interesting gentleman,and you have so many short stories
You have passion and a very exquisite taste and you wear them well. Good luck to you.
Thank you for your kind message. Hugo
Will you be making a video about bespoke shoes, perhaps explaining in depth the process?, there is some debate regarding rough-turned lasts vs hand crafted wooden lasts. Cheers.
Harrys of London shoes are worth considering especially their Basel collection.
Sarvin Warden
Thank you for the insight & for once again allowing us to step into your world!
The stitching on the Stephane Jimenez shoes is absolutely beautiful! the contrasting white on the quarter is to die for!
I confess, I too would love a nice loafer, but on me, they always look like a pair of slippers. The only way I could possibly get away with a pair is to maybe wear them with a smoking jacket whilst carrying a nice glass of wine. Perhaps something to try!
Finally, a thought for your next pair perhaps: I couldn't help thinking that when you see the Stephane Jimenez first appear at 20:21 the contrast between white and black, that perhaps there would be an option to expand the collection with a contrasting pair where for example the toe extending to the quarter is done with a gold to rich brown patina similar to your Norman Vilalta Deacon boot, and then a contrast on the quarter in a slightly darker shade. It could also be done with the burgundy, but it would need to be a subtle contrast to avoid them looking like spectators.
Apologies for the lengthy comment, when I feel inspired I think aloud and type too much haha.
Thank you Ian for your comment and for your interesting suggestions concerning my project with Stephane. Actually what you saw is just a prototype (we say a "pied-modèle" in French) and we did not discuss the colour neither the leather. All my best, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Ahh, thank you Hugo. I was imagining they will come to you in all black. Now I have an extra reason to look forward to their arrival episode!
I was in grave distress when I discovered that my fiancée purchased two pairs of Corthay Arca’s! His sartorial habits are eating into our upcoming Parisian getaway.....however, he does look quite Refined in them~
that patina on the suede loafer! wow!
It's a spectacular patina indeed. Not the easiest to pull off, but very nice. Hugo
Loafers seem to be an acquired taste. It took me a few years to find myself comfortable in a pair of penny or tassel loafers. Now I find myself reaching for them often on warmer days just as I would reach for boots in the cooler months.
Those suede horsebit loafers of yours are quite something!
Hugo I love your recordings. You are a man of my own heart. I have way over 200 pairs of footwear. I have bought well so they last a lifetime. I rarely get rid of any of my shoes. Have you or Sonia done any videos on women's shoes please?
that corthay is incredible
Great Interesting one of kind!!! Thanks!
Thank you for yet another riveting video. Your shoes are absolutely stunning. Hopefully, one day I will swap my cheap leather shoes with higher quality ones.
Thank you sir. And I wish you the best for the future! Hugo
J'ai écouté en particulier votre présentation Les 22 chaussures à connaître. Cette présentation m'a permis d'acquérir une base claire concernant les chaussures. Je les trouvais belles et je savais pourquoi mais je n'avais pas le vocabulaire que j'y ai acquis. J'admire ce prototype très très beau et raffiné. Pour ma part (pardonnez-moi de m'immiscer) je le nommerais Le Jacomet qui est aussi un nom évoquant déjà le raffinement. Je pense au peintre Giacometti. Il me semble que cette chaussure relèverait de la trempe supérieure à laquelle elle appartiendra dans le futur.
Enfin, merci beaucoup de nous faire connaître ce noble métier qu'est celui de fabriquer de belles chaussures. Tout un art.
Merci Guylaine. Stephane Jimenez a finalement décidé d'appeler ce modèle le "Hugo". Bien amicalement, Hugo
Hi Hugo, just wanted to suggest "no-show" socks for you to wear to protect the insides of your loafers while still getting that sockless look.
Bontoni is my favorite luxury shoe brand!
Hugo! Lovely channel. I'm curious- how do you intend to style your high boots? Will you wear them with one of your regular suits, or with something a little more country-side?
Hopefully he will make a video showing outfits that go with that style of boot
I'm a big fan of Cie on aliexpress. For £150 they make a shoe to order with hidden goodyear welting, whatever painted patina you ask for, using imported full/top grain italian calf leather or crocodile/ostrich if you wish (£300+). Far superior specification and price to even Meermin. I hope you consider trying them out and doing a video on them.
I didn't know about this Chinese factory but I'll check it out. Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS thanks Hugo. Would be interesting to see a critical view of how far they fall short of the higher end shoes of which I am not in possession of. I don't have the balls to buy green painted patina on anything >£200, yet I wanted something outrageous and also nice quality.
Great video, top notch shoes!..
.....have you come across or even heard of a brand of shoes that goes by the name of Medicus Royal?
Where did you get those yellow ribbon shoelaces for the patent shoes?
Absolutely beautiful shoe collection! Any thoughts about italian shoe maker Barrett? Bought a pair of burgundy derbies recently and the leather and workmanship seem very good. Thank you.
I don't know them (they are in Parma), but what I see seems very nice. Cheers, Hugo
lots of Corthay. Great pairs.
Sir, Thanks for sharing. Please share your opinion on maglieriapelle shoes!
No.17-18, the beautiful reddish-brown loafers, I would call their color "Ursine", as it reminds me of the beautiful sunlit fur of certain bears photographed in the mountains of the U.S. (Rockies, or the Cascades, I think).
Thank you Sam for your contribution and yes this color is very nice. Hugo
You seem to favour dressier loafers rather then the more casual usual suspects. Corthay has an interesting tassel loafer that might suit you. Also the Berluti Andy is pretty iconic and has a dressier shape
Hello Hugo, as always, thank you for this videos! One question, what things do you do to keep the edge of the sole clean? Is there any product for that or can we use cream/polish to finish it just as the leather?
A good brush and some cream will do the job my friend. Hugo
was waiting to be the 700 like... can´t wait anymore.. 690.. nice shoes Sir
Snoqualmie is a mountain pass 45 minutes East of Seattle, WA... So, he peaked this name for his Brodequin in French or hiking shoes!
Shoe #14 Derby patent leather for black tie? Casual type of shoe with formal type of leather!!
I need a mentor like you.
I bet that if you pushed the stitching which is on top of many loafers further towards the toe, it would give you the effect you want. Similar to the wingtip. Elongating but still elegant
I was wondering.... i live in a country where for the term "formal" shoes is very loose...... as long as its leather it is considered formal.... my question is ... is it okay to wear brouged wingtips for formal occasions where you wear a wear a suit... not necessarily black tie...... or will i need a something with less brougeing? ...... a wholecut with medallion perhaps???
Pretty much all of his shoe names come from territories in the state of Washington. Puyallup is a city south of Seattle, Kent is also south of Seattle, pike, laurelhurst etc. Are all towns, areas or cities in Wa state, USA.
Classy and stylish 👏👏👏
For what it's worth, I prefer a single monk, I have two pairs both by Crockett and Jones, my favourite shoe winston in chestnut colour, beautiful
Beautiful shoe indeed Douglas. Happy Holidays! Hugo
The pair of high boots :o
I agree. Fantabulous boots from Stivaleria Savoia in Milan. Hugo
you could think about a pair of bespoke Cowboy Boots, thats an element completely missing in this list as of yet :)
wonderful collection hugo, can you pls do a "How to build a show collection video" :)
You mean "a shoe collection" I suppose ? Yes, that's a good idea for a future episode. Cheers, Hugo
A wonderful Video👍👍
Glad to know you think so ! Hugo
Hugo votre paire de Meccariello est juste sublime. Une des plus belle paire qu’il m’ai été donné de voir.
Je viens à l’instant de la rue Volney, je souhaitais initialement m’offrir à Noël le ultra de chez Weston, après avoir passé l’Arca et l’avoir vue en bleu marine je ne sais plus ce que je souhaite tellement les corthay m’ont subjugué
wow beautiful shoe collections sir
Thank you my friend ! Hugo
That shoe by Stephane Jimenez is absolutely beautiful, what a good taste you have Monsieur Jacomet.
Any Balmoral boots coming soon?
Such a wonderful enjoyment to watch your videos, brother. May our Lord bless your great work!
Thank you ! Blessings, Hugo
Hugo - ask your shoe makers to make a pair that closes at the back so that you just slip your foot into them and fasten with a buckle, or maybe Velcro at the back of the shoe.
Would like some opinion on blue oxfords. I've been eyeing a pair but not sure if it's a good colour to get. Any input or thoughts on them would be amazing. Cheers
Like a navy blue? I have a pair of navy leather loafers and find them to be quite versatile.
I envy your shoe No. 15 Deacon Chelsea boot very unique cut
It is unique indeed! Best, Hugo
That was my favorite of the video.
I ain’t got the patience to wait a year on a pair of shoes. Few weeks to 1-2 months maximum.
From what I can see, the shoes so far have all been leather / flat soles. Do you have other shoes you wear in winter for traction?
Hey Mikey, you missed the snoqualmie boots by J. Fitzpatrick (the hiking boots with vibram soles). Cheers, Hugo
Hi Hugo ... I was just wondering where I can find/ buy Stephane Jimenez shoes in USA... ? Thanks my friend..
Unfortunately, Stephane is only crafting bespoke shoes in France and does not travel to the USA for the time being. Cheers, Hugo
Are Santoni a good maker? I bought a pair of brogue Chelsea boots for cheap in an sale in Livigno Italy without knowing anything about them apart from that I liked the look of them. As I loved my Chelsea boots so much, I’ve since bought a pair of lace up brogue boots also by santoni. While searching for them I noticed many different styles of dress shoe I’d like to own 1 day
Yes Ryan, Santoni is a good shoemaker of course. It crafts so many different lines and qualities that it can be difficult to find your way in the collections (from decent to excellent). But it's a good company for sure. Hugo
I AM BUYING MY FIRST PAIR OF BLACK TOE OXFORD FROM EDWARD GREEEN!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WISDOM . AND CLASS ! AFTER THE VIRUS IS GONE! I WILL MAKE MT PURCHASE! I ONLY HAVE A PAIR OF ALLEN EDMOND! THANK YOU FOR MY NEW ADDICTION!
I like your Chelsea shoes
Very interesting as always, Hugo! I didn't realize you didn't have loafers until the end, but I guess I also assumed they are not usually the kind of shoes people pay higher prices for, and were thus excluded from the conversation!
I must say though, loafers are my favourite kind of of shoes, and I do dream of getting bespoke loafers, hopefully a couple that will last me a life time. I have wider feet which make a lot of my shoes crumple in weird places, and I hope getting a bespoke will fix this issue. For more formal looks, because of my wide feet, oxfords look rather awkward on me. I did enjoy derbies a lot more, though I recently got into monk shoes and am eyeing on some dark brown singles, for day to day office wear. Anyway thanks for the video as always, and I will eagerly be waiting for your next interesting, thought provoking video.
Best, Han.
Thank you Han for your interesting contribution. And find yourself a good bespoke shoe maker to fit your feet. It may change your life. Cheers! Hugo
Hugo, hi from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Will you review your outerwear wardrobe? It would be very interesting to look at your coat.
Hi Alexander, It is done! By the way, we are currently working with sarto_russi (see Instagram) from Saint-Petersburg. Cheers!
You know you are big in the shoe industry, when the one and only Stephane Jemineze Names one of his magnificent creation after you!!!
I don't know if I'm big, but it truly an honour ! Hugo
Hugo, where is your shirt from?
This one is a bespoke shirt by Marol. The fabric is Soyella Royal by Alumo in Switzerland. All my best, Hugo
Why I'm not surprised you didn't list something athletic or extremely casual like a sneakers or running shoes haha
Well, I'm not a sneaker man for sure. Even if I do wear sneakers from time to time. Cheers, Hugo
At 16:08, the shoes on the right. What are they?
brilliant
Thanks Gerry! Hugo
