@@HB-gv9sz Sven simply has a different style. He usually wears vintage clothes and in the first half of the 20th century people did not wear fitted suits.
Dear Hugo, I am a 55 year old man who has always liked to dress well but it is not until recently that I discovered the Sartorial world. In fact, I have been following your Vlogs for less than a year and I can say that I have seen, if not all, the vast majority of your Vlogs. I have learned from you that dressing well is a not a function of fashion, but to express my self-esteem and inner serenity. My daughter is getting married soon and I have decided that I will wear a bespoke suit for the wedding. It will be my first bespoke suit. The suit will be made by the best tailor in Puerto Rico, Marino Encarnación. The suit will be a three piece, single vested suit using a very light and breathable charcoal gray tropical wool. In two weeks I'll have my first fitting and I can not wait for that day! My daughter is a beautiful woman, both on the outside and the inside. I can proudly say that I have always been with her; from changing her very first diaper to recently help her testing the wedding cake. I taught her to ride a bicycle, to get wet in the rain and to dance. I helped her in her school subjects and projects. And I also accompanied her in her difficult moments. Wearing my first bespoke suit in her wedding represents for me the effort, patience and love that I have put into raising her. I thank you for your Vlogs which have helped me appreciate a new lifestyle and thus celebrate my daughter's wedding with this Sartorial touch. Thanks a lot!
This is so touching. I lost my father three years ago. He was my hero. Every girl dreams of having a father like you. Hope you have an amazing day with your daughter.
I've watched all your 38 videos in less than 2 days, and I've learned 100 times more than all my years of nonsense RU-vid videos and snobbery in the community, in pursuit of being a gentleman and to look the part in the journey.
Well, I never intended to actually watch all 4 videos of this mini series...I mean, for how long can you possibly listen to some guy talking about his suits...but here I am! And I found listening to you both entertaining and informative. Well done! This just serves to proove, that just about any topic can be interesting, just as long as the person speaking is articulate, passionate and well informed.
Hi Hugo, canadian tuxedo refers to Canadians who had very humble and common tastes and would dress with a jean jacket or shirt and jean pants, until it became fashionable and now people wear jean jackets and pants preferably of different shades.
Mr. Jacomet, this explanation is very good. Your memory is impeccable to remember my original comment from my Instagram @erikodiak on your post about Maison Sirven. It is perhaps the finest and best cut Canadian tuxedo in the world.
👍😍I love how you are so comfortable talking to us (your fans / subscribers) on camera. It’s as of we are just sitting with you listening (well we are) in person. It’s a pleasure. Thank you. I hope your legacy can reach many men and help them. 💞
Thank you very much Carlos for your kind words. The trend has been set already by Bing Crosby since a long time. Let's say we can maybe revive this garment (with the much lighter denims of today). Cheers, Hugo
I really liked the Crème Irish Linen suit. The summer temperature is very hot in West Texas but I still want to wear a suit and not be dressed like everyone else. Your collection is world class! God bless and keep up the great work.
I would like to thank you for the look at your wardrobe and for an education on the world of Bespoke and i look forward to seeing more for you in the future.
I had been avoiding this series for some time now. I'm not entirely sure why that was. At a guess I'd say that I've found most wardrobe tour videos on RU-vid rather dry. Having just finished all 4, with a few more Vieux Carrés and Sazeracs that would reasonably seem to be temperate, all I can say is "Bravo"! On a side note I'm reasonably certain that I could listen to Hugo and Sonya talk about just almost anything. Cheers!
Hugo here in Texas we have what we call the Texas Tux. It's a normal black tux coat and shirt but you wear blue jeans, cowboy tie and cowboy boots. The cowboy hat is optional but most do wear it since its ok to wear a cowboy hat indoors here in Texas. Ciao
Thank you Hugo for your insight and ideas about suiting and fabrics and who does what. I hope to meet you one day at Pitti Uomo for a fine glass of wine! 🍾
Hi Hugo, very nice selections from your own satirical journey. The difference materials and fabrics you chose inhance the dramatics effects in designing your silloute beautifully. A remarkable tailor makes a tremendous in ones inner confidence while suited. Thank you. 😎 Frbjr 😎
I am not surprised you wear the black suit in Japan, we wear them all the time as a tradition here. Because of this, we have never found them unfashionable or out of place like in the West.
@@SARTORIALTALKS Well yes similar in subject matter of course, and including videos made by the finest menswear artisans, including Camps and Savile Row, yes. But two things make you unique: you go through your journey over many years from the past to present and from a point of view that is unique because it is from the point of view of wearing clothes itself, and without the usual trappings of self help that also is more common on other channels. That sets it apart.
Here I am, having two suits from the Suit Supply and wear them proudly, and then comes Hugo talking about this 21st and 22nd, and etc. bespoke suits. 😂. Hugo, I'll never your levels! haha.. Thank you for your valuable education , it's inspiring👏
I have watched all of these videos and most of the reason that I have been is that your voice is like listening to liquid gold. This and I get to learn things otherwise unknown.
Magnificent episodes and series. There's one fabric I love for the summer: the seersucker. It's very common to see gentlemens dressed with seersucker suits or jackets in Southern Spain in summer. Mostly in the cities of Seville, Jerez (Sherry) and Córdoba, where men use to dress with suit. Maybe it would be an interesting fabric for your next project...
Very illuminating. For me I think I most covet No. 11 (electric blue) or No. 18 (green solaro) and you seem to be wearing down my resistance to the Double Breasted!
Thank you, Hugo! I thought I would feel bad about my suit wardrobe after watching your series, but I feel very good about it. It's personal taste and following the sartorial rules that makes the man, not specifically the garment. Once you get a few pieces, you can do so many things with them. My favorite practice is to show respect to others by dressing well, yet conforming to the event.
I always look forward to see your videos. For some reason Everytime you post them while I'm driving in the highway. And it is so pleasing to hear you while driving
Oh thank you Arturo, as you probably know we are also developing a Podcast series. We posted the pilot episode one month ago, and we are currently developing a series. Cheers! Hugo
Mr. Jacomet, I really love listening to you speak about all things sartorial. You are truly an inspiring and eloquent gentleman. Thank you so much for your insight. I have learned much from you, and I look forward to learning much more from you in the future.
Hey Hugo I am from Canada, the Candian tuxedo is wearing a jean jacket with a pair of jeans. This look was really popular in Canada in the 80's and the name stuck pretty much
If you ever get truly wild, it would be delightful to see someone play with suiting made with Indic fabrics. I particularly enjoy jute/silk blends. Fantastic summer fabric. It’s not unlike linen, in terms of cooling properties, but I don’t think it wrinkles quite so readily.
RU-vid recommended this video. No idea why. I've been watching a lot of docs about airplanes (Boeing and Aiubus). Anyways, I can't stop watching Mr. Hugo. Very interesting and instructional without being pretentious. Thank you very much, sir. Oh, he reminds me of Anthony Hopkins.
I’ve really enjoyed the journey through your bespoke suit collection. Thank you so much for that. I would love to see your watch and shoe collection if possible.
Many thanks Randall. You'll see my shoe collection soon. Concerning my watch collection, I don't have a collection but I wear Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic (or Galet Square like in this episode) Tourbillon double spiral. Cheers, Hugo
Hugo, Greetings from Toronto, Canada. A Canadian "Tuxedo" is a pair of denim jeans and a Jean Jacket (usually Levi's brand). So yes, the guy was joking with you. Great channel you have.
Excellent presentation. I love to hear his teaching on suits and fabrics. I am so glad I came across this site. Thank you Hugo for a great teaching. Sincerely, Gary Gay Naples, FL
A "Canadian tuxedo" is a colloquial term for wearing a jean jacket with jeans. The term reportedly originated in 1951 after Bing Crosby was refused entry to a hotel in Canada due to wearing a denim top and denim bottoms. After learning of the incident, Levi Strauss & Co. designed a tuxedo made entirely of denim as a publicity stunt. Though long considered a fashion faux pasoutside of work apparel, the Canadian tuxedo achieved a "pop cultural peak" in 2001 when Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake wore the combination to that year's American Music Awards. In 2016 Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau wore a "Canadian tuxedo" to a concert by The Tragically Hip. Lady Gaga has also worn a Canadian tuxedo in public. credits Wikipedia
Hello Hugo, The Canadian Tuxedo is just a bit of a joke about us loving to wear a jean jacket with our usual Levi's, or whatever jeans. I have been known to rock this combo from time to time and receive a lot of abuse for it from my Londoner friends. Best, Thomas
Yet another beautiful delivery with beautiful masterpieces. Thank you Hugo! (I was enjoying this video with a very hearty breakfast and a cup of very good coffee)...
SARTORIAL TALKS oh it was Hugo! I was really looking forward to this last delivery. I have a very good coffee supplier... they’ve been roasting beans in the same shop for about 100 years, so the good coffee and its aroma blends perfectly with the video!
Sir: your outfits are amazing! You have great taste. I loved the linen suit, the jeans one is unreal, and your black one with the dotted tie! The one you have during de video is gorgeous too!
Thank you sir for the time you put into these great videos. Such an inspiration. I would love to see something along the same lines showing your shoe collection. Thanks again.
Great videos, inhale started my collection again. Thanks to watching and learning from you and your wife. To answer the "canadian taxito" it's a term used here as a lot of canadians wear a Jean's and a Jean jacket as well. So they have proclaimed it the canadian tuxito. Your suit is fit for a king. Much respect. And best wishes
I have enjoyed this series very much! I would love to hear Sonja on the subject of sartorial talks for us women! She looked lovely in many pictures here today. Thank you!
*sigh* I recently made a pair of jeans in a very formal style, and now I feel like I have to add a jacket to make it a suit... Great suit, Hugo, I really like the clashing and experimenting with formal and casual elements.
Monsieur Jacomet, just wanted to thank you for your wonderful videos. Both educational and exceptionally pleasant to watch. I am always anxious to see something more from you. Thank you. Remaining with all due respect.
Yes I know the blue and dark grey suits is the way to go with your formal suits of best quality. But the light grey, green and brown is such underrated colors for an informal dressy look. Like the small patern Prince of wales seems durable and easy to wear.
👍I totally understand what you mean and how you feel about the wrinkles with the linen. I had to do at least one linen suit. I appreciate it for what it is but the wrinkles are something I just had to relax about but it drives me crazy so I don’t wear it often. In my head I want to love it, but in reality when I wear it, I don’t feel beautiful and crisp. 😂
I truly enjoyed the series on your wardrobe !!! informative, tasteful, and inspirational. Would you consider doing something similar on your shoes?. You have done previously such an in depth work on the subject of Bespoke shoes, that i think it will be the perfect match. Thank you !!!
Mr Hugo, I think that the No 11 Single Breasted Electric Blue (Gianni Celeghin Bespoke) perfectly suits you and expresses you. Especially your color goes absolutely. Very nice your article. Well done.
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you and I apologize to you, Mr Hugo, for the Greek script of my name. In English Polybios Andrianidis or the instagram.com/patentas.gr/. I'm sorry
The story told about the Canadian Tuxedo is that in 1951 the famous singer Bing Crosby tried to enter a Canadian hotel dressed all in denim, and they refused him entry (presumably they did not recognize him). This incident got some publicity, and Levi Strauss made him a tuxedo entirely out of denim and presented it to him later that year. There are a number of pictures of Bing wearing that "tuxedo."
Wow 300 bespoke suits in the wardrobe! You’re friend has at least five times as much bespoke tailoring as the Duke of Windsor had when his wardrobe was auctioned. I’d imagine a valet would really be a necessity to manage that many clothes!
Dear Ian, I think he only possess a few bespoke, the vast majority being thrifted quality suits alternated by a good alteration tailor. 300 suits is a little bit insane actually. But if he likes it, then everything's ok ! Hugo
Excellent episode, as usual. And, I can clearly blame it on you when I commission my next suit in Demin. Which also means, I will need to get a pair of Chelsea boots made. 🙈
Hugo, your content is top notch and your wardrobe is truly something to behold. That denim suit is very interesting, if you want to wear a tie with it, you can maybe try a very casual tie like a wool tie, or a knit tie either in wool or silk. Cheers!
Many thanks Scott. I will do the shoes first, then maybe shirts and ties and cufflinks (although I'm wearing almost exclusively buttoned cuffs), but I may add pocket squares for example. Best, Hugo
Bonjour Hugo, Canadian Tuxedo is an originally derogatory American term. In the early nineteen fifties Bing Crosby was refused entrance to an upscale Vancouver Hotel because he was dressed in denim. The jean maker Levis Strauss heard about it and sent him a new Levi’s denim suit. Across post war rural Canada wearing clean jeans, a denim jacket(trucker jacket) and a blue chambray shirt was dressing up to go to town on Saturdays. In western Canada (Prairies) a lot of farm kids wore this to attend university. You could switch the blue chambray shirt for plaid. You always wore the pant leg over the top of your cowboy boot. In winter, your overcoat was a green duck canvas fleece lined coat we called a sewer coat. Original intended for farm chores. Let’s face it. At minus thirty or forty you dress for warmth and comfort. Absolutely cheap, economical and as for sartorial it had a certain « je ne sais quoi » or rather « je ne sais rien ». I have just discovered your channel and really enjoy your insights, knowledge and flair. Merci. Norm somewhere in the Canadian Rockies
Canadian Tuxedo is essentially denim on denim, typically when you were denim jeans you pair it with a button up shirt or a polo shirt etc but when you wear denim jeans with denim shirt then it's synonymous with Canadian Tuxedo because you are wearing denim on denim. I have seen some very gawdy examples but your denim suit iteration is very classy!!!
It's funny: despite all of your initial concerns about linen, the suit I imagine you wearing whenever thinking about you, is your cream linen suit. In a way it's the archetypal Hugo suit, at least for me. Best regards from Germany!
hugo, you were wondering about the term "canadian tuxedo". it essentially means when you wear denim on your upper and lower torso that are very similar or identical in color. this is a term that's used more in casual street wear than for suits, however. but in your case, it would literally be a canadian tuxedo. depending on who you speak to, some might tell you that wearing too similar denim fabrics is a fashion faux pas in street fashion. but there are differing opinions on that.
Thank you for your explanation my friend. And I don't care about the so-called "faux-pas". The Sartorial path is as much about freedom than it is about conventions and "rules". My motto is : if you like it, wear it! Cheers, Hugo
I've worn a Canadian Tuxedo many a times....a combination of denim jeans (Samurai) and a denim trucker jacket (The Flat Head) :-) Btw, since you've tried French and Italian tailors have you considered Japanese such as Ciccio, Anglofilo, etc.? My current favorite is Sartoria Yuki Inoue, Milanese trained.
Goes back to when Levi's first made work clothes for miners. You could actually get it as a three-piece of demin jeans, denim work vest, and a denim jacket, either sheepskin lined for winter, or unlined for summer. never seen someone wear all three in modern times, but still the coat and trouser combination is pretty popular in the West of both Canada and the US. Of course, once you get somewhat South of Canada it is more likely to be called a Texas Tuxedo.
Do you know who Yuki Inoue was trained by? His style seems quite unique (or maybe its just the pictures). I have never seen suits like his (and I don't mean that in a bad way)
@@rorycarter8797 His suits do look spectacular indeed. I don't know his second "Maestro" (Livio Enrico Colombo) but I know very well his first Maestro, Mario Pecora (a great tailor who is now working for the Zegna Bespoke salon Via Gesu in Milan with his son Angelo). Cheers, Hugo
