The 30 Best Ties in my Closet! 

Many thanks! Hugo

Yes the West (particularly the USA) has lost its way in that regard. I’m all for self-expression but there are times to leave the tennis shoes and graphic t-shirts at home in favor of pieces that are more appropriate for a particular occasion. Furthermore, those of us who do opt to take that tack - whether for specific occasions or on a regular basis - should not be looked upon a certain way or judged negatively for wanting to look our best if said version of “Our Best” adheres to a more classic aesthetic. Classic dressing is not a crime!

@@YacDiesel Not a crime at all! It's rather a blessing for this ugly world! Hugo

Calerciric - many people still do take time to dress well. It’s not something from the past.

current time. just extra cultivated

We are resisting William! And maybe neckwear will come back! Cheers, Hugo

Wonderful! Congratulations! Hugo

850!? Dang bro, You need your own channel! Keep styling brotha!

Thanks Brandon! Best, Hugo

Hahaha you're absolutely right! But what a great problem! Cheers, Hugo

Nice additions indeed. Cheers, Hugo

Great recommendations there. I love all three. I would add: Turnbull & Asser (terrific for paisleys), Amidé Hadelin, Stefano Ricci (which I hardly ever see mentioned but which are superb), Charvet (I know Hugo has mentioned before) and for bowties, I highly recommend R Hanauer in the US and Le Noeud Papillon in Australia.

@@TheNayboy thanks for your input! I'll check them out.

I love them indeed! It's pure joy for me. Cheers, Hugo

You're way too kind with me my friend! Cheers, Hugo

Absolutely my friend! All my best, Hugo

Exactly my friend! Cheers, Hugo

Of course, everything at Kiton is outstanding. All my best, Hugo

Repp ties are my favorite for sure. Hugo

Happy to read this. The Urban Ties is a great brand my friend. Hugo

You too kind with me Piet! Yours, Hugo

Please do my friend!! Best, Hugo

You're very welcome my friend! Hugo

With great pleasure! Hugo

You're very welcome! Hugo

Our pleasure! Nicola Radano is indeed a very talented designer. All my best, Hugo

I'm glad if it helps you! Cheers, Hugo

You're very welcome my friend! Hugo

Dear friend, many thanks for your feedback. It's actually not an advert for these companies (even if I would be happy if they do sell a few ties thanks to this video) because this video is not financed by them (two of them had even no idea I was going to publish it!!) and I perceive no commissions on sales (not our style and business model). The question asked by many of you was: what are your favorite ties and the ones you possess and wear the most. And those 4 brands represent 75% of my tie closet, together with a few Charvet, Petronius Milano, Marc Guyot, F. Marino, Dare in Paris and Hermes (which by the way I did mention). Otherwise we personally know Maurizio Marinella (they have a chapter in our book "the Italian Gentleman"), we never tried Shibumi in Florence but we heard great things about them and we also know the work of Fiorello (from Sicily) which is obviously very good. You could also add Albizzati, Drake's and so many others. But this would require a much longer video. All my very best, Hugo

Merci ! Hugo

Thank you very much! Hugo

That's a wise attitude Tim! Cheers, Hugo

Thanks my friend. All my best, Hugo

Excellent choice Roger! Hugo

Thanks Billy! All my best, Hugo

Nice ties at RL. I used to know, back in the years, the man in charge of ties at RL. Cheers, Hugo

You're right my friend. I believe the problem is that everything is about comfort today. Comfort and selfishness. But we are resisting!! Cheers, Hugo

Thank you very much! And you're absolutely right about Japanese people. They love and respect craftsmanship. All my best, Hugo

Yes sir, very few people wear ties for business nowadays (except lawyers hopefully). But more and more gentlemen are wearing neckwear by choice! And that's very comforting. Cheers, Hugo

Nice catch my friend! Lucky man! All my best, Hugo

Many thanks Nader for your kindness as usual! Hugo

Thank you my friend! Hugo

You're right. But we resist my friend! In style (and God) we trust! Hugo

Not easy, but what a great problem!! Yours, Hugo

Yes! Step up your tie game my friend! Cheers, Hugo

Great idea my friend. We'll do this. Cheers, Hugo

Same here!

Haha thank you Felix. She'll appreciate for sure! Hugo

Thank you sir! Hugo

Thanks for your kind words. This tie is from Calabrese in Napoli. Hugo

Thanks Edward. I believe you should keep those ones! All my best, Hugo

Yes my friend! Ties (and pocket squares) are candy to my eyes for sure! All my best, Hugo

I love ties, but never wanted to eat them.

Howard's in Paris is also a very good choice. Hugo

Dear Robert, I don't know who you are talking about, but if you like them all is good! Cheers, Hugo PS: it's never too late!!!

Good evening Walter, Hermès ties are wonderful of course. But everybody knows them. That's why I try to put some well deserved light on smaller makers. Cheers, Hugo

No I don't my friend. But my wife does very often. Cheers, Hugo

Pas exactement la même mais sans doute cet hiver (avec d'autres modèles). Amicalement, Hugo

Ok merci 😊

I advise you to end an email to Tie you Tie (dropping our name). I think they 'll be able to help you. Best, Hugo

@@SARTORIALTALKS i will reach out to them, lets see Thank you Hugo!

​@@airuniformShibumi also makes short ties! Try 140cm

You said it all. We live in a very strange era my friend. Cheers, Hugo

I completely agree with this comment and I think, sadly, it expresses the strange times we live in. Thank you for putting this into words so eloquently.

@@SIX622 Agreed! But we resist! Cheers, Hugo

The width is 8cm (which is excellent). You can always send an email to Dan. Hugo

How can we help?

@SARTORIALTALKS Is there a group that I could join, like alcoholic anonymous for someone who has way too many ties & no intention of stopping!

I have nothing against turtlenecks of course (even if I prefer mock necks). Cheers, Hugo

I think it's because everything now is about comfort. I'm from a generation who was not obsessed with comfort. You guys even have comfort food!! (we can see the results). Cheers my friend! Hugo

Can you elaborate please?

No sir sorry. I never wear my shirts without a jacket and I love this one. Undershirt is a blasphemy for me. Cheers, Hugo

@@SARTORIALTALKS I know but the finest dress shirts can last longer. And the white color will be uniform throughout. Consider

@@parkosterwich7274 You're very kind but I will never do that. No hard feelings though. All my best! Hugo

​@@parkosterwich7274I think Hugo said at some point he has more than 100 shirts, didn't he? He'll be fine. Also the collar and cuffs always break down first, undershirts won't help.

@@teekue it will help to a degree you mean . Especially long sleeve ones. I won't say you have to or it's blasphemy if you don't

Hahaha, you have to be prudent for sure. Hugo

Wear a napkin like a bib when you eat. Many Americans do it, not so common in the EU, but should be.
