The outfit of this video is so well planned, bold colors which works together so well really shows how experienced Hugo is.
Many thanks James for your kind words of appreciation. Hugo
The Lapel is gigantic but really stylish ✅
One of the finest gentlemen on TH-cam.
You are too kind my friend. Cheers, Hugo
This is the most Elegant youtube channel.
After seeing your suits with broad peak lapels, it's almost impossible for me to go back to the skinny notch lapels you usually see. As a medical student it's hard to take out time for things that I'd like but I absolutely love your work and really appreciate that you've introduced me to a new universe of these underappreciated works of art.
Thank you Ahmet for your kind and very encouraging words. All my best, Hugo
Beautiful collection. I am envious but in a positive way. You realy have to have a bit of that positive envy in order to make your life more beautiful and elegant. It is called looking up to someone and me and a lot of people look up to Soniya and Hugo. Thank you for that!
Dear friend, covetousness is a bad feeling, by being stimulated or inspired by others is great. I've been inspired by so many people in my life. Blessings, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS And you inspired many. Blessings Hugo!
I totally agree with your post. Sonya and Hugo set the bar HIGH...and that is a good thing as it gives us all something to really jump for. Cheers Krunoslav
@@westfieldartworks8188 You are apsolutely right. Cheers Anthony!
I have been watching your channel for a few weeks now. I was having difficulty at work. I felt like people were disrespecting me because of the clothes I was wearing. So I decided to make a change and fallow some of your style guidelines. And after just a week and a half I was given an award for the first time ever in seven years of working at the same place. I just wanted to tell you and thank you!
This is a wonderful message that we take to heart. Thank you for setting aside the time to write and let us know your personal experience. Cheers! Hugo
It is literally a shame that a channel like yours has only 81300 subscribers. Look at this video quality..the editing the quality of the lighting and the camera angles ..of the image. I am still flabergasted each time I watch your videos you have literally opened a new world for me. you are such a pleasure to listen to, you have such a huge culture on the sartorial topic and you always are so humble gentle and elegant. It is such a shame this video only has 44000 views. I don't know if there is something in the youtube algoritm not showing views but anyway that tells a lot about the state of our culture and the decadent age we live in. God bless you Hugo and thanks for what you are doing.
The best shoe collection on TH-cam, and we're not even finished yet! Fantastic as always, Hugo...we have nearly the same taste in shoes :)
Demetrios Levi hey! Just found your channel yesterday...great stuff!
Thank you Demetrios ! All the best, Hugo
Agreed. Prefer the single monk. Especially with a smaller foot.
Hugo, thank you for another wonderful look into your personal wardrobe. I understand it is a very personal and intimate thing, as it is your life and your preferences in menswear. I truly think you're videos are the best out there in the menswear world. The stories and your own thoughts are a wonderful connection to give to your audience! Have a wonderful day Hugo and say hello to Sonya!
-Chris Browning
Thank you so much Chris for your kind words of encouragement. All my best, Hugo
My grandfather was a cobbler ( bespoke shoes only) and served the king of Piedmont in Italy (Turin) back in 1930s . I can relate wery well to the memories and fascinating stories around high military boots and the art behind all this work! Precious testimony!
Thank you Sir for sharing your stories. I sense a lot of passion as well as humility. Our generation took a long time to acquire such beautiful and luxurious products and we certainly worked very hard to have enough savings.
Absolutely stunning shoes! Thank you for such a wonderful representation of works of art!
I like how you talk about feeling invincible wearing great shoes, and I couldn't agree more, and keeping those great shoes looking great is an art itself, my leather shoes would be incomplete without a mirror shine.
The Gingko was my first pair of upscale shoes/boots as well. The same color as shown here except with canvas collar as opposed to suede. I purchased them around '97-ish in NYC. I've worn them through many New England winters and this year I will send them to be resoled. The condition of the uppers you say? Perfect patina because of annual Saphir moisturizer and chestnut cream from time to time. Hugo is 100% right when he notes they are "indestructible".
Indestructible indeed (if well maintained of course), Best, HUGO
Love this approach to life - makes so much sense !
Im in love with the classical music you have chosen Hugo!
As an Englishman living in France , I’m always pleased when one of your countrymen comments,favourably on the shoes I’m wearing. I was born in Kettering, and had family in the shoe industry so was brought up to appreciate good footwear. Just like yourself, I bought my first decent pair of r t w shoes in the late 80s.I too opted for the Church’s tan Grafton Bookbinder brogue on the 73 last.In my eyes the most beautiful shoe ,which also ages gracefully. As a footnote ( no pun intended) I was very disappointed when Church’s was bought out by a fashion house and to cut costs now only produces the Grafton on the 100 last !
Dear Shaun, thank you so much for your contribution. Oddly enough, when I was a teenager my school had an exchange agreement with Kettering... So the first trip of my life outside France was in Kettering when I was 14 years old! I also visited the magnificent factory of Gaziano & Girling in this town a few years ago. I agree with you concerning Church's. Prada buying Church's seemed so bizarre, almost counter natural... Cheers, Hugo
I have only just become acquainted with your work Hugo - very inspirational. Thankyou
i have never seen anyone talking about shoes with so much joy as you do.

Ce n'est rien, merci pour votre contenu!
thank you!!!
Of your suits that I’ve seen, this is my favorite. Your entire ensemble in this video is so fantastic
Many thanks Hassan ! The suit is a bespoke double-breasted by Sartoria Manna in Napoli, the shirt is a bespoke shirt by Marol in Bologna with a fabulous Soyella Royal (240/2) cotton fabric by Alumo and the tie is an old heavy silk tie by Marc Guyot in Paris. Best! Hugo
Its always a pleasure to hear from you Hugo. You're awesome.
Thank you so much sir, Hugo
Thank you, thank you, thank you Hugo!
Good to know I'm not alone in feeling a cringe as I wear new shoes outside the first time.
Haha, you are not alone for sure ! Hugo
Love that “licking the window “ I have done that when looking at a rock and roll display of 1960’s drums, guitars and amps. I must have been 6 years old! Very impressive shoe collection can’t wait to see the next part. About 2-3 years ago I started my journey learning about classic men’s style. I first heard about over the calf -thin socks. They were from a company called Fort Belvedere and were about $40 which was 10 times what I was used to spending. Took a while to step up on the socks. Please show us what you favorite socks are,
Fort Belvedere is the brand of Gentleman's Gazette. My favorite sock's brand is Bresciani in Italy. They are distributed by Mes Chaussettes Rouges (www.meschaussettesrouges.com/en/). Cheers, Hugo
Rewatching this episode again, having enjoyed it so much the first time. So nice to notice the readjustment of Hugo's pocket square part way through. Having just started to venture out in a jacket with square, I found myself quite paranoid about it slipping back into my pocket, and constantly wanting to pull it back out!
😂 I can relate that John ! But after all it's a small gesture to pull it up! Best, Hugo
This world need more beauty...just to reminds us that life is a journey full of experiences and stations like this just to enjoy...Thank you Hugo for excitement that you provoke..
I was hesitating to watch the show ,because i will be in Europe between February or march next year and , if was not sure of going to Warsaw well now "I am",meaning Jan Kielman get ready. Those Fantomas are beautiful as well as the Gaziano's cap toe in black. Can't wait to see the second part, thank you Hugo!!!
Jan Kielman is a beautiful atelier and they produce excellent shoes with a great quality/price ratio. Best! Hugo
Hugo, the color balance between your suit coat, shirt and tie are superb. The combination is both elegant and refined. They stand-out without calling so much attention that they scream "look at me". Sprezzatura! It would be great if you did a video on other combinations in your wardrobe and how you achieve such a perfect balance.
Never have I watched a more interesting Shoe video and on Men’s Shoes but this was so much more. 🤔 I was absolutely inspired to earn one or more these shoes or their brothers. As well inspired to have better shoes. I was able to get some understanding of refined upper tier quality Menswear Shoes I’ve no knowledge of and their styling. I’ve been introduced and a great video.
Your taste amazes and inspires me. I fell in love with the #4 Corthay Vendôme ♡♡♡
That's a good choice for sure. Cheers! Hugo
I admire your passion for shoes. Beautiful story and journey.
Merci Rene! Hugo
Hugo, I would love to see a video which shows all of your shoes in close up and also paired with an outfit. Keep up the good work...
Hello. New to your channel and totally captivated by your content and dulcet tones. Just starting my collection, and I suppose I shouldn't be surprised it is possibly more difficult to transform at 52. Always obsessed with beautiful clothes, but until now, never in a position to invest. Thank you for imparting the courage to admit that, as a child, I even slept in my new football boots! And thank you for your inspiration. Please continue.
Dear Hugo, as a 50 yrs old lady, I have found so much pleasure in watching your videos, I've just found you at 4.30am in the UK as I listen to the rain against the window and I need to get up at 6am for work. I love your elegant style and find there is so much elegance in a man wearing a beautifully cut suit and beautiful Brogues. I have previously bought mens shoes for myself in a size 6 (40) and I love them. However, I shall now search for some bespoke Brogues to wear. Much love and kind wishes.. Thank you, I have found inspiration today. Julie x
First like! Love your channel Hugo! You and Sonya continually renew my passion for menswear and sartorial elegance :D
Thank you my friend, we appreciate! Sonya and Hugo
Hello my dear , i really enjoyed the way you speak and describe your love and passion to shoes! specially that only now i understand that i'm not the only one who used to care about his new shoe and feel afraid to go out wearing it ,not to destroy or scratch it ,))))))))), not only this but also doing this window shopping many times before being able to buy the shoes i like ! so , my dear Hugo ,never be shy ,,you are not alone about this ))))))), Thanks for sharing us, love from Cairo,Egypt.
Thank you Nader my friend. Your comments are always so kind and uplifting ! Love from Bourgogne. Hugo & Sonya
@@SARTORIALTALKS Merci Hugo, you and Sonya deserve all the best, Cheers,
OMG!!! great to know there are people out like me and some great folks like you too. I also have version of wearing new shoes outside/ on rough surfaces. And yes the smell of new shoes is amazing for me and I'm also addicted to the window shopping of shoes...Many times I visit shoe shops just to get the scent of new shoes an the feel of soft shining leather.
Very, very interesting indeed thank you Hugo, and delivered with such passion! If you're an aspiring shoe lover like me, I reckon this video will make you think long and hard about the state of your own shoe collection as you ponder a few new acquisitions I suspect?!
As a 21 year old accounting intern I feel like that kid licking the window now... Maybe one day :)
Yes my friend! One day for sure! Cheers, Hugo
KlaasDeKaasBaas Try eBay. The first Goodyear welted shoes I got was a pair of black chukka boots by Sanders and they cost me £65. They were freshly refurbished and resoled by Sanders so they look practically new. A new pair would have cost me over £200.
I would say goodyear welted fullgrain shoes, like Loake 1888 in the $300 range is well spent money. I would go with chuckas and boats, rubber sole brown.
Are you South African?
I love listening to stories like this; told by someone who has already walked the journey....I am still young; but was fortunate to purchase my first pair of Cheaney shoes (UK)...and oh my...have they set a new bar for me!
Until I saw the Fantomas, I didn't get the idea of sleeping with shoes 😂..
Haha, you're very funny. Cheers, Hugo
I really enjoy watching your episodes, I always save them for Saturday afternoon and relax watching them with a hot coffee and a cigar. I thought I was the only one obsessed about not damaging the soles 😄. What I do is always take new shoes to a cobbler and add thin vibram inserts on the sole. Not a very elegant solution but to my eyes neither is a scuffed and damaged leather sole. Plus I never have to resole them at usually big costs, when the insert gets damaged I simply replace it
That's indeed an excellent solution Vali. Very efficient. Cheers, Hugo
One of the most well Dressed , well spoken, well versed, well read and a very enterprising Gentleman i have ever seen in TH-cam
would be gem of a time talking to him about custom shoes..I am from India
Cheers
God Bless
Wowowowoww! I have officially been schooled. I loved the look of every single pair you mentioned. And even worse, what am I now without a pair of Corthays, or even the Gaziano & Girling's Deco?? Hahaa! And that monk strap Jouvette, the first ever monk straps I actually liked because of the single buckle! Thank you sooo much for sharing this. Bonne chance!
I managed to find a pair of Corthay Wilfred at an outlet back in 2015. It was like finding gold! I’m still blown away by it’s beauty. I have only ever worn it twice so far because it’s like wearing art, don’t want to ruin them
Fun to hear you have sold your shoes to buy up, I have done the same many times. I've owned the 677 chases JM Weston (bought on eBay for $175 a few years ago) were too large and sold for a profit.
JM Weston is always a safe buy for sure my friend ! Hugo
An interesting point you make regarding black shoes, I recently wrote a little piece on my site about it - though talking about the wardrobes of young men in particular - and came to the same conclusion: you can get by without a pair of black shoes for a long time.
This month I purchased my first pair of decent black shoes (Cheaney brogues), and they were something like my 10th leather shoe purchase.
Great video as always, Hugo.
Hugo, you never cease to make me want to 'up my game' thank you for another glimpse behind the curtain, I await the next one with bated breath.
I don" know what it is about shoes but they are something to covet. I remember being young and going to shoe stores and trying on shoes without having enough to buy them. Can't wait for part 2. One other thing love the collar on your shirt hard find long collar shirts
Thank you Paul. My collar is a long point pin collar by Marol in Bologna. Best! Hugo
As expected 100% quality content. I truly enjoy your channel. Godspeed my friends,,,
Thank you very much Randy! Blessings, Hugo
Really enjoy your content, Hugo! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Cameron ! Hugo
"Those are the most exquisite browns," I thought (referring to your shoes) as I added a couple layers of mirror gloss and light brown Pate de Luxe to the cap toes of my 5th Avenues. I dig those kickers, Hugo. Cheers to you and yours.
I just ordered some Di Bianco V-Front plain-toe bluchers in black with a waisted rubber sole. Basically, stylish sensible shoes.
I learned about V-fronts from this video. 🙂
Scarpe Di Bianco are good shoes. We know the founder. Cheers, Hugo
Great collection so far! My grail and first one was also Berluti Alessandro. I think there are now maybe four different Alessandros out there. I chose Alessandro Eclair because they were only ones with gooldyear welt. They are beautiful shoes. My next ones may be Crockett and Jones or Gazziano Girlings.
C&J are great, G&G are fabulous. Tough choice, but personally I would go for G&G. Best, Hugo
Ha. Just discovered this channel and Hugo as well. I like this guy, he's got a lot of class. Great storyteller.
Hugo your story on the Berluti shoes are inspiring and how 20 years from now u have such a collection! I walked into the Sydney Berluti store a couple of weeks back and tried on the Andy loafers and ever since that moment I have been consistently thinking about them. Now in the process of saving up to get a pair since cost wise they are such a big jump up from the shoes I usually wear aka C&J, George Cleverly and Alden. Keep producing your videos your content is amazing!
Many thanks my friend. And by the way, C&J, GC and Alden are all great shoes ! Best, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Yes they indeed are Hugo but sometimes the heart really wants a beautiful patina loafer ahahahha
Dear Hugo:
Your channel is the best of the best plus ONE!
Thank you for such great content and professionalism.
you look so excited remembering your past.. that´s very nice
I never thought about that. But I'm also very excited about my present and even more about my future ! Cheers, Hugo
Wow. I love everything about your outfit here!
Great collection Hugo! I'm surprised it took you a long time until your first proper black shoes, I thought it would be one of the first two! But I guess in a way it also makes sense, I guess you would want to wait until you see the most proper one. I prefer shoes without brogues but I recently got one and they have been rather enjoyable to wear. Anyway, thanks for another great video, cheer! - Han
Dear Han, I discovered quite quickly that dark brown shoes were in fact much more versatile than black shoes. Best, Hugo
Hugo, thank you for turning me onto carlos santos. Super happy with the dress shoes i got.
I'm glad to read this Corey! Best, Hugo
Fantastic video as usual. I look forward to the day I can pass my George Cleverleys on to my grandchildren!
Thanks Hugo. I wish I could enjoy Corthay, Weston, and Berluti but my feet are too big!
A video on Sonya's shoe/suit collection would also be much appreciated.
Actually I think Weston offers different widths on all its models. All the best, Hugo
Have you looked at Heinrich Dinkelacker? That's in the €600-800 range. Then there's Tallsem in the €80-140 range. Yes, you read that right. Great beaters - well polished they look better than 99% of sloppy men's footwear anyway.
Tallsem/Nelson last has high instep and roomy toebox. Spain only, but you can always send them an email. They're nice people.
Love the suit, big fan of wide peak lapels and the fabric choice!
Thank you Parker. Hugo
yes, nice colour combination today
Excellent video as always!!!
Something completely unexpected and very nice just happened to me.
I went to a store for a tin of Saphir wax in black. Scatterbrain that I am, completely forgot, bought pigmented renovateur spray and Super invulner for my suede shoes instead. Then spotted a pair of Carminas on sale, tried them on, found the last a bit to narrow, and started chatting with the enthusiastic young salesman about the joys of shoes and well made things in general.
Then it turned out he had my size in Edward Green Chelsea on sale, 50% off the price from a few years back. Shoes I expected to always want, but never own.
And then when I got home, determined to start wearing them in immediately, I couldn't help thinking of you. I seriously considered cleaning the floors before putting them on...
the spoiling of sole of shoes is true in my case also. also the uppers of the shoes get the same attention.. totally agree . .
😂 I'm happy to read I'm not alone with this little obsession! Cheers, Hugo
After watching somebody talk so passionately about shoes I have a strong urge to go out and buy a pair!
Haha, take your time my friend. Dreaming is sometimes much more enjoyable than having. Cheers, Hugo
That is a beautiful Shoe-Collection
What an extraordinary jacket. Love it
WOW I LOVE ALL OF YOUR FIRST 10 PAIR OF SHOES
J ai vraiment adoré le vidéo et les histoires personnelles. Continuez votre travail exceptionnel!! Moi aussi j ai eu la piqûre de collectionneur de souliers 😁.
Merci mon ami ! Hugo
I love the passion with which you talk about clothes and shoes, Hugo. It is also a very human story about starting at a lower budget and trying to progress further up the quality ladder. Do you use autocue when you narrate your videos?
No I don't Russ. Nothing's written. Just the list of the shoes. Cheers! Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS Well I’m extremely impressed, Hugo. If you are doing that fascinating presentation without any prompts, that is true passion!
3:57 I exactly understand I still have shoes that I only wore indoors just not to damage the sole 😂😂. If it is raining or going to rain only certain shoes are the ones to wear.
I too prefer single buckle monk strap shoes! Also happened to be my 1st pair of goodyear welted shoes
Thanks Jack, I'm with you on this. Hugo
wow fabulous story sir i also had this habit sleep with my shoes in my childhood because i love my shoes now i have a three pair of shoes cap toe oxford,penny loafer,tassel loafer and i always like to wear loafers because of our Indian weather condition
Haha, I now discover I'm not the only one who did sleep with his shoes! Best, Hugo
Wonderful shoe collection!
Many thanks Manny. Cheers, Hugo
Such a pity you did not have the shoes with you to show us.
Dear Colin, I agree with you but we shoot sartorial talks in the USA and my shoe collection is in France, unfortunately. Best! Hugo
Thank you
"...unfortunately for my bank account." 😆
I've got a pair of Berluti but hardly wear them they are chic and well made but somehow not for me. I only like English type of shoes really Crockett & Jones and Edward Green. Nice collection though thanks for sharing and looking forward to part 2.
I love the Scaforas!
Honestly, I've been wearing my Scaforas more than any other pair of my collection. Best, Hugo
Thank you Hugo, you reminded me of my young days licking the windows myself and sleeping with my shoes on. Although it is not very different now... ;-)
Haha, it's not very different with me neither :-) Hugo
;-) I knew it!
Impecable como siempre, Sr. Hugo. Saludos desde Perú.
Many thanks Daniel! Greetings from France. Hugo
Great ...simply great content Hugo.... Merci.
Many thanks Eyad! Hugo
Amazing collection.
I live in Naples and work in a place that all real gentlemen have a proper suit and proper shoes. Its not about the brand .....but about the tailor, the quality and the style with a touch of personality. I licked the windows fir a long time since I was 20 years old....until now ( 30 years )
I'm at the Alan Edmond's level now. Next shoes will be Cobble Union and then who knows. Maybe some day some nice made to measure shoes. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Asher, we will launch this week-end a special campaign with Cobbler Union (with a % discount + Free shoe trees + Free shipping). Send us an email at hugo@parisiangentleman.fr and we'll send you the code to benefit from this campaign. Cheers, Hugo
Absolutely stunning shoe collection, there is nothing like a great pair of dress shoes as my wife will attest.
Your wife is wise ! Cheers, Hugo
Love the story!
Many thanks David ! Hugo
Good on you for going with purple for one of those pairs :D.
Really Cool Shoes 👌🏼😊😀👍🏼
I love how suave and effortlessly sophisticated you are
Many thanks ! Hugo
I thought i was the only one with that issue of the maiden wear :)
Haha, not you are not the only one for sure. Cheers, Hugo
Thank you so much for sharing with us....
My pleasure. Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS best shoe collection.. It says how much passionate you are about shoes and the expensive taste you have..beautiful shoes..it's a definite treat to watch those..
Great video. Would be interested to see your shining / maintenance routine for all of these
Dear Ross, the best channel for shoe maintenance / shining is Kirby Allison's channel. Cheers! Hugo
Hi Hugo, excellent discussion as always,love your suit.
Also what do you think about Andres Sendra shoe brand ?
Good evening, this brand is one of the dozens of factories from Almansa/Albacete which has been crafting shoes for luxury brands and now try to make a name for itself. Probably very decent quality, as all the factories of this town. Best, Hugo
Had the same kid licking the window moment when I saw the Berluti store near Dotonbori Osaka. I really want the andy loafers in gray.
I understand you so well my friend ! Cheers Jason, Hugo
Definitely #8 Gazziano & Girling Deco lovely.
When the hell of this virus ends I will purchase a new pair of shoes to celebrate. I have learned so much from your videos and I am inspired by your passion.
Thank you Gary, and yes let's celebrate with a great pair of shoes and a good glass of wine ! Hugo
This Fine Man is an inspiration from what I thought was a bygone era. This class Act proved me wrong and I am now a better Man for it.
Many thanks John ! Cheers, Hugo
Very nice collection, I’d have liked to have seen you hold them and show them off though rather than just a quick picture but I suppose I should be grateful of you sharing them anyways!
Dear Ryan, I would have loved to do this of course. But our production team is in the USA and my shoe collection is in France... Can you imagine the price of the additional luggage !! Cheers, Hugo
SARTORIAL TALKS that explains it then, thanks for the reply!
When my daughter graduates I might get myself a pair of Loakes Parliament. M.
That's a good idea my friend ! Best, Hugo
