I am from Africa and wearing a full suit is not appropriate for my work but I watch their videos with passion.
Thanks Mr Hugo
Many thanks my friend, Hugo
04:44 Henry Poole
08:15 (History of Sexton, Morgan, Nutters, etc)
09:50 Edward Sexton
15:10 Chittleborough & Morgan
19:24 Michael Browne
22:50 Davide Taub (Gieves & Hawkes)
26:23 Thom Sweeney
Sad news, Gieves and Hawkes have been caught up in the ongoing crashing Chinese economy (Chinese owners via investment houses) and may, if a buyer can't be found, go into administration ☹️
Nevermind.Some of us cannot speak good and fluent french as u do in English.Great video monsieur!
Merci Monsieur ! Hugo
Hugo, I didn't hear a word you said. Couldn't stop looking at your jacket, absolutely amazing. Love those structured shoulders!
Not one word ? Then you have to watch it again. You've been hypnotised by the Cifonelli shoulder. Yours, Hugo
The fact that English is not your native language actually is very cool, because it makes your videos to be more easily understood for those who do not speak English natively as well :)
Ha ! Thank you Maxim, that's encouraging ! (by the way my grand-father, who was a cobbler, mas names Maxime and it's my third given name...). Yours, Hugo
My favourite style channel- Sartorial Talks.
Thank you my friend for your loyalty ! Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS You are most welcome.
I agree. Brimming with friendly, inclusive enthusiasm. This is the way to share your passions, inspire curiosity, invite others to join you on your journey. Bravo!
Thank you Thomas ! Hugo
Because of Hugo i decided to have my first bespoke suit, and when i found a tailor, turned out that he also knows Hugo and watching Sartorial Talks. So, we are waiting bespoke suit with wool 120s, full canvas, charcoal grey!
Hugo unites people :)
Have you received your suit yet? What do you have to say about it?
Where did you go? Nice getting a classic charcoal just like HUgo said. I am heading out in a few months to get one now also.
you probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Avi Santana Instablaster ;)
@Bruno Nicolas thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Everyday's a schoolday with Monsieur Jacomet. Such a pleasure to see the love and dedication he devotes to the subject and it is infectious. I enjoy all his programmes very much. Thank you, sir. And Sonia always looks fantastic!
I love your channel. You represent this industry with such elegance, class and respect.
Wow I just watched a 30 min video and it felt like 3 minutes! I like how Mr. Jacomet loves what he's talking about! It feels so inspiring.
That's very kind of you. Thank you, Hugo
Thank you for such a wonderful video, and for giving your own personal run down on the tailors whose work inspires you the most.
I have all three books :) thanks for your continued high quality content! You and Sonya never cease to inspire
Excellent info! I was overwhelmed by the number of fine tailors on Savile Row, and this great video gave me some perspective. Thank You
You are very welcome Igor! Hugo
I have been waiting for this video 🙌 (Your accent is perfect, it sounds very nice to a native English speakers ear)
You are very kind with me my friend. Hugo
I always look forward to these videos. Thank you very much, Hugo :)
The pleasure is all mine. Hugo
I used to divide the Savile Row Houses into 4 different categories, if you are going on a horse ride, you pick Huntsman or Richard Anderson because of their equestrian background; if you are going on a military parade, you pick Dege or Gieves for their military heritage; if you are going to the ballroom, the freedom of movement from the Anderson & Sheppard drape cut will provide the maximum elegance, and for you Mr Jacomet, I guess you like to make a s̶t̶a̶t̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ scene, by English standard of cause, in your Armors from the Nutters. the blazer looks great by the way
That's a funny way to describe the Row. I would add Henry Poole for formal events. Cheers! Hugo
yuri911qq what a great description :)
thank you so much that was so informative!!
Brilliant run down thank you Hugo. Watching you, browsing Instagram, enriching knowledge about this subject with a good coffee... perfect lazy afternoon!
You're king Nikki. By the way I saw you asked about an episode on waistcoats. It's here : th-cam.com/video/qQ4QzMy-4Ck/w-d-xo.html
Cheers, Hugo
If there is one thing that anyone should take to heart from your videos, it is your relentless dedication! Choosing one thing and learning all you can, you stay up until 2am and wake up at 6am because you can’t get enough you love it so much. Burning the midnight oil as some call it. Some may think it’s toil but to you it’s where your heart is.
Yes Jake, you are pretty much describing our life with Sony (except we go to bed even later but wake up wayyy later in the morning :-)). Hugo
I'm always look forward to Sartorial Talks; I'm a closet (ahem no pun intended) and avid watcher of ST. I can't, yet, see a time when my wallet will be large or accommodating enough to be fitted for a bespoke suit, but I really enjoy the idea of wearing the best clothes I can afford. Your channel is never snooty of dismissive - it's a pleasure to watch. Love your DB jacket btw
Tony
Many thanks Tony for your kind words, and remember all this is mainly for inspiration. The size of one's wallet has frankly little to do with building one's own style. Cheers my friend, Hugo
Hugo; I know you say ; ones wallet should not determine one's style but I keep thinking bespoke is what I want one day ; I had a made to measure with Canali ; nice but not a home run ; I not no suits at the time
Thank you, Hugo!
You are very welcome Michael ! Hugo
Thank you Hugo, great episode on Savile Row Tailors; very helpful!
Thank you for sharing, love this channel, keep up the Excellent work, look forward to your next episode. Cheers from BC, Canada
Thank you for your encouragements ! Hugo
Impeccable jacket Hugo, one of my favorites in your collection. Black suits you nicely 👌
Actually this blazer is dark blue (Cifonelli bespoke from 2008). Hugo
Looking sharp as always
NOTE: Your Suit's, and accent is just perfect Hugo. Cheers from Houston Texas!
Cheers from Bourgogne France my friend ! Hugo
Cher Monsieur Giacomet, ce blazer blue foncé vous flatte vraiment. Vous êtes une vraie source d’inspiration et vous montrez en pratique qu’il ne s’agit pas de mode, ni tendences mais de classe intemporelle. Merci beaucoup! Cordialement, Hendrik (Anvers)
Merci à vous Hendrik! Amicalement, Hugo
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Will be in London this summer, will check out some of this establishments
Don't hesitate to drop us a note before (hugo@parisiangentleman.fr) so that we can open a few doors for you if needed. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Hugo
Mr Hugo, what a fantastic video, you are such an inspiration for a young man developing his style, and great jacket by the way, fits you very well and surely boost you confidence, like you say, it must feel like an armour!
Thank you my friend! Cheers, Hugo
Good Evening Hugo...I'm new to your channel....I'm from London but live here in Atlanta GA!!!!....upon my return visit to London.
I will definitely check out those tailors on Saville Row...I love all of em...keep up the good work...its about time we Men get back into Custom tailoring!!!!
Thank you Stephen. You probably know my wife is from GA and we have all the family in Buckhead, Sandy Spring, Cumming and in the mountains of north GA. Cheers, Hugo
Nice and interesting presentation, Monsieur Jacomet! Merci beaucoup!
My pleasure Daniel ! Hugo
Hello Hugo. I love your channel. Very informative and you display a obvious passion for gentlemen style. Every well dressing man should watch these videos. Intelligent and comprehensive. Well done.
Thank you Gary for your words of encouragement. Hugo
Thank you Mr. Jacomet, you have reintroduced beauty into the world!
No has and ever will use the word 'Romantic' to describe the fit of a suit. Love it!!
Haha, are you sure ? Maybe it's our French sense of poetry... Hugo
Hugely entertaining and informative video , I am and have been for many decades , absolutely fascinated by the art of tailoring, Hugo obviously is not only fascinated but also extremely well informed and has a huge knowledge of the subject . I can no longer afford bespoke but i have several suits made for me in the sixties and seventies all of which are still in excellent condition and , remarkably still fit me , spurred on by Hugo I am of a mind to have one last bespoke garment made , I shall scrape the cash together and maybe visit one of the tailors he endorses.
I love this channel ❤ exceptional and great content by Mr. Jacomet....
A French gentleman giving credit to the English!!! This is BOLD and brave!
Tell me about it. But on a Rugby field, it's a complete different story :-). Cheers, Hugo
Greetings and blessings. Ty for the education.
My pleasure. Cheers, Hugo
Just, simply brilliant!
I never have a problem with your accent. I think it is clear and charming. M.
Merci Hugo! We love you and your accent!
Thank you my friend, that's very kind! Hugo
Love that blazer he’s wearing!!!
Good evening to you Hugo I hope that you are well, well may I just say thank you so much for honouring British tailoring, and the depth you have gone gone into and the respect you have shown, amazing content, amazing channel, and a amazing couple that are bringing this information to us all, so I thank you for that sir, kind regards your friend Ryan.
Thank you Ryan, it's always a pleasure to receive a message from you. All our best! Hugo & Sonya
SARTORIAL TALKS my pleasure Hugo my pleasure 😇
I appreciate that Hugo is wearing an English cut blazer for this video, a thoughtful detail
Wonderful content... always look forward to your vids
Thank you Rajeev! Hugo
Very cool to see you highlight some of your preferred tailors. One day I will be able to afford an Edward Sexton, Joe Morgan (probably my favorite style), or Michael Brown suit...I feel their suits provide a good classic English style with just enough flair.
On the subject of countries you can look at, perhaps it may be worth thinking about "The Spanish Gentleman". Having a Camiseria Burgos shirt (and another on the way), and the privilege to meet Ramon Cuberta, there may be something there. They seem to take be somewhere between the English and the Italian (at least to my eye). Regardless, I know anything you decide to write next will be worth reading.
Hugo, sir the suit you are wearing is structured very crisp and is extremely elegant. ❣️
Always excellent. Thank you
You are very kind my friend. Hugo
Great picks, Hugo! Would have bet half of my tie collection, that you picked at least one tailor of the sexton pedigree. ;) If I could choose one bespoke piece to be made for me on savile row, it would certainly be an overcoat by Mr Morgan, preferably double-breasted. His garments are beyond dashing!
Greetings from Germany!
I agree. Joe is a great tailor and an hilarious (and passionate) human being. Best! Hugo
Never worry about your english Hugo. It's better than that of 99% of americans.
And the suit you have on looks amazing. Superbe mon ami !!
Excellent. Thank you!
With pleasure Rod! Hugo
Fantastic!
Merci Fred! Hugo
Huntsman was my first bespoke suit before I moved on to Neapolitan, however, I'd like to go full circle and try Michael Brown one day. I've seen his amazing work on other blogs and sites and really like his "Matrix" influence. I want to be like Neo :-)
Haha, I understand you. Browne is indisputably one of the most interesting tailors of the young generation. Best, Hugo
That Bentley driving jacket that Davide Taub made is an all time great
Great episode. As always. I do have book from James Sherwood - Savile Row and it is amazing piece of art.
James is a great writer (and a good friend). Hugo
Mr. Jacommet, is always a gentleman, even when talk about his competitors ! Regars from Brazil and take care everyone because of Covid-19.
Accurate as interesting, surely be visiting all of them next September
That's a great idea indeed. Cheers, Hugo
Awesome breakdown sir.
Thank you my friend ! Hugo
Love the suit you are wearing. Very good looking suit. 😎
This was just a brilliant video to watch. Also, without the longish hair, Mr. Jacomet looks like a billionaire with that suit and tie and shirt and the discreet jewellery.
Thank you sir, but I'm not a billionaire, far from it! Cheers, Hugo
If I may suggest a topic for a future Sartorial talks video:
Ties, and more specifically their construction, and even how they are described. For example googling seven fold ties, you will find several different constructions are given that description. Some are constructed so there are seven folds or creases, others so there seven layers of fabric. Some are tipped, some lined, some are folded so the inner layers come to the middle of the tie, others so the inner layers go all the way to the opposite side, and on and on.
All of this of course makes them behave differently. How they drape, how they tie, some giving fairly large knots with a four in hand, others almost begging for more elaborate knots.
Some background and history would also appeal to this nerd, and hopefully others.
Dear Thomas, this is the subject of the next episode of Sartorial Talks ! Cheers, Hugo
Very nice! Looking forward to that one. Thanks! :)
True videos for a gentleman with taste and aesthetic sense.
Davide Taub is currently making me a suit. He is the best tailor I have ever dealt with. He LISTENS TO NEEDS unlike others on the Row who haven't in the past. I am so impressed with him that I commissioned 2 more suits from him. He is the best tailor in the world going away. Here's to you Davide!
You are the best in the world hugo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
This is an overstatement Ivan, but thank you for your enthusiasm ! Cheers, Hugo
10:30 Started to work with...Terminator?! Well, I guess if you can bespoke dress a Terminator, you well deserve being called a legend 💪🙏
Jokes aside, fantastic video as always, Hugo. And very beautiful loation! 😍
Thank you my friend, Cheers, Hugo
That suit you have on is amazing. That’s some serious sewing.
By Cifonelli bespoke (this jacket is 12 years old). Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS That ends the mystery. Looks super.
@@krisoluich9119 Merci Kris! Hugo
Thank you this video show the passion understanding for the best wardrobe man can star👌
Thank you David ! Blessings, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS
Thank you so much for reaching out to me that means alot
You're so right about jackets getting shorter and shorter. I'm 6'4" and I don't like it. If a jacket doesn't cover my backside - forget it.
I agree 100%. Cheers, Hugo
Couldn't agree with more. A jacket proper length I down to the bottom of the fly in other words covers the top third of the trousers. Anything shorter is ludicrous!
So happy my tailors (Thom Sweeney) are in the list :)
They deserve it, no discussion. Cheers, Hugo
Good choices. I’m personally a fan of Andrew Ramroop at Maurice Sedwell. His house style is so unique and symmetrical
Brilliant, thank you. M.
Love the channel..click like before I’ve even watched it
You live a dangerous life Mark ! Thank you for your support my friend, Hugo
Yes, thanks you!
Very informative and insightful. Thank you very much.
You are very welcome! Happy new year, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you very much and happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
I did receive your book, The Italian Gentleman, as a gift for Christmas
@@SicSeb I hope the book will match your expectations ! Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS I'm sure of it
the best tailors from uk ! Cheers !
Cheers my friend ! Hugo
I very much like the shoulders on your jacket. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you Richard. It's a Cifonelli bespoke blazer with the famous Cifonelli shoulder. Cheers, Hugo
Thank you hugo
You are very welcome my friend. Hugo
I love your suit Hugo!
Many thanks Andrew, it's a Cifonelli bespoke from 2008. Hugo
👍Fantastic. Thank you. 🙏💞
Thank you ! Hugo
Love the video, thanks Hugo for the inspiration and information! Edward Sexton is the dream tailor for my wedding suit someday. Such a pity (british) bespoke suits are so expensive. ;-)
Thank you Benjamin and see you soon ! Hugo
But worth every cent!
Hugo, the tie is a masterpiece.
Fantastic Thankyou
Excellent video
Much appreciated ! Hugo
this is why i love Hugo... love from Bangladesh
Thank you my friend ! Hugo
Hugo, that blazer is so boss!
Merci ! It's a Cifonelli bespoke from 2008. Hugo
Excellent video Hugo! BTW, there are four of your six that are "cut from the same cloth" or may have Tommy Nutter influences. Davide Taub worked for Sexton 2008-2010 before heading off to Maurice Sedwell and then G&H. Certainly, his more stylized architectural suits with roped shoulder and pagoda shoulders. Also, Michael Browne has also tried to lighten up the padding and construction as with Davide while still having the structured armour look of Sexton/C&M.
You are perfectly right Stacey, Taub and Browne have both managed to "lighten" the guts of their suits while still looking very structured. Cheers, Hugo
Just wondering Hugo, you mention that you would love to have a suit made by Joe Morgan among the six you mention. Is there a particular reason you would choose Joe, particularly since stylistically, it has the same DNA as Sexton, Browne, and to a certain extent Taub. Thanks.
@@staceychow9960 Dear Stacey, actually I would love to have a suit by all of them ! I said Joe because I like the man (he's really an interesting personality) and probably by pure enthusiasm (none of my speeches are written, barely a few notes for dates and quotes). But having a suit made by Michael and Davide is also a dream for me. Cheers, Hugo
Your choice of favorites is great, Who would disagree?. I would have added Huntsman, but again your choices are great!! Thanks.
Thanks Robert. All this is very subjective of course! Best, Hugo
That Burnt Orange pocketsquare!!!!! I'm on the hunt for one, and no one will know about my secret sartorial weapon.... Just kidding, I'd shout about SARTORIAL TALKS from the rooftops, if gentlemanly conduct allowed for it.
Haha you're very kind. This pocket square is by Simonnot Godard. We'll make sure he produces another batch of this rust one for us. Stay tuned! Hugo
You are actually Hugo more clearly spoken in English than many of the people I live around here in South East England.
Very nice Jacket you’re wearing btw! I’m guessing Cifonelli!
Good guess Ian ! Many thanks for your encouragements, Hugo
My 6 Favorite Savile Row Tailors
1) Henry Poole
2) Edward Sexton
3) Joe Morgan (Chittleborough & Morgan)
4) Michael Browne
5) Davide Taub (Gieves & Hawkes)
6) Thom Sweeney
Thank you!
You are very welcome Rob ! Hugo
I love you, Hugo, You had me at Henry Poole. My first bespoke dinner jacket (midnight blue barathea, single breasted, peak lapel, matching low cut u-shaped double breasted vest with shawl collar). Commissioned in the early 90s and still wearing it a couple of times a year almost thirty years later.
Congratulations Hector! This is what we can call a timeless piece of tailoring. Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS And forces me to work out every day so I can still fit in it.
play -> first second -> like
You are very kind, thank you my friend. Hugo
Having a bespoke suit on saville row is a dream of mine I’ve had since been 18 but always going to be out of my price range. It’s nice to dream though
one day. never stop dreaming!
Nice review as always. I think it would be difficult to go wrong with any of the top houses on Savile Row or Mayfair in general. I prefer the look of Huntsman and chose them for my first bespoke garments. I hope I will be able to travel to London for delivery in a few months.
Lucky man ! Congratulations David, Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Hugo just out of curiosity how did Huntsman not make the list? I think a lot of people would place Huntsman in the top 6 on the row… thoughts Hugo?
@@jasonarday4014 Dear Jason, I used to be a Huntsman fan (with iconic cutters like Colin Hammick and fantastic alumni like Richard Anderson or Pat Morgan) but more recently I believe the company lost its way (and part of its soul) with Roubi L'Roubi as an "artistic director" (I have nothing against him but he was a women's gowns designer, not a tailor). And when the fantastic black gentleman who was for me the face of Huntsman (at the front desk) was fired, I was done. Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Dear Hugo, I hope you are well my friend. Thank you so much for your reply. This is really interesting. I have always been a Huntsman fan and did not have the privilege of meeting the tailors you have listed, but there are some very exceptional ones there now.
On another note, I just want to say I think you and Sonya are exceptional and your content is brilliant. As someone that is obsessed with tailoring, listening to both you and Sonya is always an absolute education. Keep up the amazing work, sharp lines and fantastic lapels :) 👌🏾 Jason
Can’t wait to someday visit Savile Row and commission my 1st 100% British-made bespoke suit!
Yes my friend, I wish you the best of luck ! Cheers, Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS I visited Michael Browne’s website and Instagram page and was really intrigued by his offerings. I’ll likely stop by his atelier and commission a piece when I am in London. Thanks for the recommendation, Hugo!
@@YacDiesel My pleasure. Michael is a fantastic tailor. Cheers, Hugo
A lot of the row comes here! Gievez & Hawkes. Harry Poole and Anderson & Shepherd The money you save by not making that flight you can use as a deposit on that suit!
I’ll be starting a suit with HP&C later this year when they visit Los Angeles. Very excited. This is a great run-through. Thank you.
Daniel is a great tailor at Poole.. He will make you a great suit.
@@chuckbuckbobuck Great to hear. I haven’t met him yet but I’m looking forward to it.
@@the.dirty.pigeon I believe they are here in LA this weekend. I passed on seeing them this time as they have finished my one suit and a pair of trousers and I reserved fabric for them to make me another suit next year. Chestnut Plaid three piece suit with a double breasted waistcoat ( vest). Word of advice, go with fabric from either Holland & Sherry, Scabal or Huddleston. Really top end. And, unless you are having this suit made for a wedding or a funeral, don't order a black suit. Expand your horizons, go with a bold plaid or striking Venetian stripe suit. In short, have them make you a suit that no one else has. That's how I roll.
@@chuckbuckbobuckNice. My first fitting is next month when they return to LA. This suit will be far from unique-more of a standard navy twill sort of thing-but I’ll get a lot of use out of it.
I will be meeting with them then as well the suit they made for me came out great jacked wise-fit perfect. Trousers not so good so I am taking them back to fix them. Not sure what happened as we had four fittings. They send me some swatches last year and if they the fabric is still available I will commission another suit from them.
Would be interesting to see a vid on different cloth, explaining differences between them e.g. super 120,150's etc and where they are made and how that affects the cost as well.
This video exists on this channel : th-cam.com/video/W5PWsovd5Js/w-d-xo.html
Cheers, Hugo
I am a simple man, I see new Sartorial Talks video, I click to watch 👍
Thank you so much sir. Hugo
Where can we go to suggest subjects for this series? I would very much appreciate a show on the great mills of the world and the fabrics, new and old they are known for. You mention Zenga in passing, but I'd really like to know the difference in mills by Region. It will help us evaluate tailors that are more local to those of us who don't travel extensively.
Next a show on American tailors and shoe makers. Anyone doing anything interesting in the US that can compare to Europe?
Thank you
Hey Hugo, big fan of your videos and books. I have a question, I found a herringbone black suit on eBay that I really like. Is a herringbone just a versatile as the black suit you wore in one of your previous videos?
8:23 The english subtitles thinks you're talking about terminator
Hahaha very funny. It's my French accent ! Hugo
