Sonya, Hugo & Kirby, I'm nearly 75 and the three of you have breathed a new life into my sartorial journey. I'm waiting on my first MTM double-breasted suit. Being well dressed has helped me to maintain my weight and my health. I now weight what I weighted when I was in my twenties and I feel great. Thank you so much.

👏👏👏

@rovercoupe7104 Год назад

Friend, treat your age as if it were a top secret. Only tell those with a need to know. M.

@thisisderricksilk Год назад

This should be an ongoing series gentlemen, cigars and conversation.

@johnsinclair2672 Год назад

Agree, style manners, conversation... all good things and much lacking in today’s society, though promoting smoking and booze publicity, we can do without.

@tomkenway Год назад

the most wonderful crossover, I never knew Kirby and Hugo and Sonya knew each other for 12 years already.

@krunoslavkovacec1842 Год назад

They already did a conversation during the pandemic.

@Z3kyTw0 Год назад

Hugo and Sonya are incredible people.

@adam__smith Год назад

Yes, I love how they really listen to each other.

@SARTORIALTALKS Год назад

Thanks

@FarhanKhan-tv2ov Год назад

Sonya’s theory makes sense lol.. I now understand why my uncle was surprised by the way I dress and thought I have a grandpa’s soul.

@carlosc3768 Год назад

"Never tell your tailor you have time"!!!!! This is the best thing I'm taking with me from this video...

@random7366 Год назад

I don’t usually comment on videos I like, but i really enjoyed every moment of this conversation. Out standing work Kirby

@kirbyallison Год назад

Thank you for commenting!

@aidanchao6544 Год назад

Hugo’s sprezzatura and your formal English style complement very well!

@vladfifty-two8530 Год назад

Two of the 4 gentlemen that guided me from loose street-wear, to purchasing my very first suit (which is MTM) to start the new year! Thank you both, and please make this an ongoing series.

@vladfifty-two8530 Год назад

@Big Van Vader At the age of 25, I've gone away from it, mostly. Wearing what children and teens are wearing just doesn't look right on me anymore. I still wear streetwear (which is normally too loose, I've now noticed since wearing suits and more tailored clothes) around the house (ironically), and on occasion. But I'm slowly getting rid of it. Plus, I really like how I look in a suit, cashmere, dress-shirt, and even a turtleneck (which is something I never thought I'd wear)

@WarThug13 Год назад

Of all the sartorial related channels, Hugo Jacomet is the king. Gentleman's Gazette is over the top, bordering on ridiculous the way they dress. Over doing it with accessories and bright colors, they end up looking like clowns. Kirby Allison is too stiff and formal, following rules to the tee, always wearing dark colors, and never really appearing comfortable in what he wears. Hugo Jacomet is the perfect balance of effortless cool, well made clothing, stylish, yet never over the top. The way he dresses is truly beautiful. Menswear perfected.

@Heiligenbeil Год назад

Exactly five years ago, I I discovered your channel for the first time. You were such an inspiration, that I decided to start my bespoke journey, and after five years I’ve got most of my wardrobe bespoke: from shirts, to jackets, to suits, to a cashmere coat. And I have recently met Sonya and Hugo in person. Thank you for what you do, Kirby.

@gurtana Год назад

Finally! Hugo and Kirby in the same place, talking sartorial shop

@kirbyallison Год назад

So happy they came to visit!

@antonioalvarez303 Год назад

It's about time. Yes, two of the best in men's fashion 👌 👏

@gmosi8198 Год назад

Two of my favorite gentlemen to watch and get mens fashion advice from. All the best to both of you.

@lanzarlaluna Год назад

Thank you for pointing out that it isn't about money but more about the effort, journey, and treating oneself with respect. With enough legwork, this can be done with any budget.

@777jones Год назад

Yes true. I might suggest it is also about benefitting from expert knowledge developed over the centuries. These problems have all been solved before.

@Mojo-IRE Год назад

Now here's a great crossover. Two of my favourite channels.

@originalvybepromotions7269 Год назад

I agree ...I grew up with sportswear, tracksuits, trainers.....and only wore suits or more formal wear at interviews or weddings.....but discovering the sartorial world has opened my mind to the fact that you can get a bespoke suit which fits perfectly and accentuates your natural physique and you can walk around feeling like a million dollars.....same with shoes....same with shirts..... Really enjoying the journey and great to share it with you guys

@oysterman962 Год назад

This is like Batman and Robin collaborating with Superman of the sartorial world. The best two fashion content makers on RU-vid. Love it. Wish this content was available when I was in my 20's. Nowadays kids can access fashion on social media instantly. Whereas when we were growing up we only had the movies and fashion magazines as influence.

@professorpelotard7925 Год назад

Civilised conversation. How refreshing.

@Mungkee97 3 месяца назад

Love the Missouri shout out! As a native I always appreciate when we are recognized or even mentioned, especially when most people outside of the US don’t even know it exists!

@TheLycan238 Год назад

Ah Kirby, Hugo and Sonya together for almost an hour of conversation of a Sunday afternoon is just wonderful. Time for some shoe shinning. Booked my first in-store MTM appointment today for a new suit. The journey towards bespoke continues.

@wadap0 Год назад

It's so great to see this collaboration between two of my favorite channels.

@brucer6239 Год назад

This is, without question, the best interview that you have ever done, Kirby. Some of the themes discussed in this interview resonate with me. Anticipation heightening the bespoke experience. The unique aspects of tailor/client relationship. And, the feeling that through bespoke, I am helping to preserve an art form. Simply brilliant. I have read Hugo’s articles for years and “Of the Obsolescence of Man” is a classic. Hugo is a philosopher. Another great, more practical article is: “Two Days in NYC: Where to Commission Suits.” Please do more with Hugo. It is a treat.

@brucer6239 Год назад

And, your observations re: the greatest generation, baby boomers, and Gen X, Gen Z, and millennials is onto something, though I think that most baby boomers (myself included) did not grow up with so much excess…I think it is the Gen Xers that in your words may be “searching for meaning.” However, the concept is spot on.

@amadejpesko Год назад

The level of production is on the next level 👌.

@mskorkoss Год назад

My favorite couple... Sonya voice is so smooth. I bet she is an amazing storyteller 🙏🏿🙇🏾‍♂️

@StarWarriorMusic Год назад

I love the section about learning to wait for something good. It's so true that the wait makes the enjoyment greater. This is very on point for MTO shoes or boots. The anticipation followed by the payoff of an amazing pair of shoes is truly wonderful.

@nathanking3552 Год назад

Kirby, it would be great to have these wonderful conversations in podcast format.

@NeilNatic Год назад

Great conversation! And Sonya, GO DAWGS 🔴⚫

@roofchees9 Год назад

“I’d rather have fewer things of higher quality” I think we need a new suit collection and shoe collection update. I think Kirby might be entering many things of higher quality territory.

@aresta21 Год назад

it’s spelled connaisseur !

@TheLycan238 Год назад

Agree with suggestion for an 'update' video on Kirby's collection of clothes, shoes and cigars perhaps even annually. Regarding cigars we probably will get that when his walk in humidor is ready.

@jrh11254 Год назад

@@aresta21 - it’s actually not spelled that way

@SimonChambers Год назад

A great conversation, thank you for sharing! And thank you also for highlighting that M2M is a perfectly valid way to get into classic menswear. I can't afford bespoke at this point (working for an NGO makes that hard) but I do like to look good, and I love the M2M designer I work with here in Toronto.

@ks7247 Год назад

fantastic. Utterly fantastic. nothing else needs to be said

@mfaizan2792 Год назад

I started following you when i was 19 and had an interview and needed to tie a tie with a dimple, i am now 25, and have been told so many times how they find my style really elegant even though I live in a country (Pakistan) where the dressing is almost entirely different. Than you, Mr, Kirby!

@kelvisstyles Год назад

Absolutely wonderful. You have changed my Life Kirby. Thank you

@maxmil2224 Год назад

I really enjoyed this conversation. Hugo and Sonya are quite lovely. The three of you just work.

@twolaneroad Год назад

The RU-vid algorithm started serving me Hugo’s content a couple of days ago due to my ongoing Kirby binge. well timed, gentlemen.

@JensKlattTrading Год назад

The whole conversation Hugo's rusty pocket square had my full attention and kept me smiling, even more when he started talking about it... 🙂 I have one myself and after watching one of Sonya's and his videos it just clicked on me: I have a black suit, but when wearing it, something just missed... Then Hugo said in one video, that a rusty pocket square can add so much when wearing a black suit - and so, I just tried it and... What shall I say? I now easily wear this suit with this simple rusty pocket square and I can wear it everywhere, not just at a funeral... 😉

@TheLycan238 Год назад

I agree that orange / brown and a combination of both colours works well with darker blues, darker greys and to an extent black suits depending on situation.

@nathantang9964 Год назад

Man I wish Kirby would just let people finish their thoughts but excellent conversation!

@chrisv.s.3403 Год назад

This was a good eye opener. All the years I never knew Sonia was from GA. She's usually behind the camera or in photos but not much speaking parts. Interesting. All three of you forever sharp! 👌🏾

@jasonalston9049 Год назад

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting both these gentlemen such phenomenal people their so influential in my satorial journey 🙏

@dandiehm8414 Год назад

Listen to these people for a few minutes and you will realize there is nothing "arrogant" or "stuck up" about them (a common comment by the masses regarding well dressed people). These three seem to be genuinely nice people with an appreciation for elegance, craftsmanship, and style. Something sorely missing from the mainstream these days, I'm sorry to say. I enjoyed the video (and have purchased things from Kirby in the past - a very pleasant experience).

@kevinnipal1012 Год назад

Thank you Kirby for this great talk. Would love to see a video that discuses the sartorial experience of choosing a tailor. What to look for when picking the right bespoke tailor to commission a suit from.

@Lukecdla Год назад

This is the king of all collaborations. Holy!

@Seli_B Год назад

A long awaited collaboration and surely a quality one

@hemigod2 Год назад

As a small boy my mother dressed me in bespoke shoes and clothing. In school I would get made fun of because all of my garments were handmade vs everyone else wore store-bought (My parents didn’t wanna send me to a private school because of racism ). I did get compliments from teachers but I was sick of other kids picking on me so eventually I stoped dressing But Picked it back up again in my later adult years bringing everything full circle.

@ImperiousRex241 Год назад

Excellent discussion with Hugo and Sonya. Kirby, thanks so much for your channel. Recently went to London with my teenage son and spent an afternoon on Jermyn Street visiting brands and enjoying the sartorial education we received on your channel. Topped off with a fantastic dinner at Wiltons Restaurant. Such a wonderful experience with my son and enjoyed watching the start of his own journey. Thanks so much. Looking forward to 2023 content from you as well as Hugo and Sonya. Cheers.

@jrooney58 Год назад

I was wondering the whole video whether Kirby’s suit was indeed the one John Kent made. So glad it came out in the conversation. It looks fantastic!

@ImQuizzz Год назад

I have been eagerly waiting for this video !

@slversrfr99 Год назад

Colleagues, not competitors, I LOVE that; There can still be competition, sure, but you can raise each other up along the way.

All boats rise in a rising tide! It was a privilege to host Hugo and Sony on the channel!

@canadafree2087 Год назад

@hamishharper2322 Год назад

Connoisseurs in conversation, does what it says on the tin! cheers Kirby

@stylishoversixty9459 Год назад

Hats off to three very knowledgeable people who are doing so much to educate everyone interested in sartorial fashion much appreciated what you bring to the table and share to help individuals improve their own personal fashion sense and be more confident in how they dress truly wonderful conversation with Hugo and Sonya

@carlosfloresramirez8742 7 месяцев назад

This is a fantastic conversation. My sartorial journey is just underway, I have been working for a made to measure company in the US and in only 1.5 years I have learned so much. I have made several mistakes, but I find that I am improving my sense of style and knowledge. Thank you for sharing this conversation, I am glad to know there are people who understand me and I understand them.

@timd5700 Год назад

An upcoming wedding for a nephew has stimulated my interest in a sartorial journey which led me to Hugo and Kirby. I’ve since purchased a mtm suit, a few mtm shirts, shoes and belts. I’ve become focused on quality, not quantity.

@paulmcgee1867 Год назад

Great suit Kirby! Great tie too! By the way I would never tie my tie to be perfect. Perfect would be someone else’s idea of reality.

@bongrenaysisyen6898 Год назад

Starting at around 44 minutes, Hugo alludes to history to explain the difference between the French and Anglo/British preferences for suits. Meanwhile, a painting of the Battle of Waterloo is mounted behind them, supervising the conversation.

@c_hira8144 Год назад

18:30 This was a real "I was there Gandalf" moment, AAAC was where it all started for me also.

@morrisdoug6497 Год назад

Great show.

@thomasnoble1816 Год назад

This is a fascinating discussion. For me, the main thing is that everything in one’s ensemble be considered. Past that, I am pretty open.

@gerigowers8318 Год назад

Loved this conversation even though I'm a 71 year old woman. I'm a child of the 50s and remember when people dressed much better. On the point of knowing that you probably know the person that made your bespoke shirt or suit is the fact that, in the name of comfort and convenience, we now often forget the children or people in other countries who are making our clothes for pennies compared to what they sell for. Again, I'd love a woman's version of Kirby's videos.

@mattcastellanos2178 Год назад

I was fortunate to live near a bespoke shoe/boot maker, saved up, and purchased some. Suit-wise, I've never done MTM but, to economize, have had ready-to-wear suits finely tailored. To Hugo and Kirby's point about "pulling off" tie/color schemes, the present leg of my sartorial journey involves risk taking with colors and textures - so far it's been best part, learning from my mistakes and moving forward.

@ARlELATOM Год назад

I love the contrast between your different styles. Love them both. Probably prefers yours Kirby if I'm honest haha. Love the content, keep up the good work guys!
