Your First Custom Suit(s): How to Choose and What to Expect? 

Hugo is one of the only guys in the world who looks amazing in a yellow suit!

I'm still in my early 20s and started my sartorial journey with SuitSupply and Lanieri. After this video, I will definitely add The Owners to my list since I live near the Czech border in Germany. Great video as always, Hugo! Thanks for being such a great inspiration.

Thank you very much, Hugo, Sonya and everyone involved in this amazing movement. Something interesting happened to me when I went to get my first MTM suit, which was for my wedding (I am 28 y.o): I showed the tailor a photo of you wearing a blue suit, with wide lapels and the tailor totally recognized you and told me he also loves your channel. That was something pretty unexpected, because here in Bolivia is not common to properly dress up. Blessings for all you.

I love how you support and feature the up and coming sartorial community members giving everyone equal opportunity to thrive and be prosperous in their craft. Bravo!

I'm glad that Romania was mentioned! Even though we are far from a perfect country, there are quality tid-bits that we can pride ourselves on! Cheers!

I am having my first M2M suit measured in 2 weeks. I will find this episode very useful. Thank you all.

Hugo is such an inspiration I am beginning a journey to start my own M2M service, visiting clients here in Scotland to offer them fine Italian tailored suits. Thank you Hugo for your inspiration.

I have just picked up my first order made at The Owners yesterday. The quality is exceptional and the service provided by Michal and Matěj is excellent. Overall great experience, definetely will visit them soon to futher expand my wardrobe. Highly recommended.

I love the way they interact with hugo becouse hugo is deep sartorial lover so he express himself in very unique way some of people just come here for promotional basis not really interact much

Après avoir vu et revu les épisodes des discussions sartoriales, j'apprends l'anglais avec Sartorial Talks. Merci Monsieur Jacomet.

So hard to wear yellow, especially a shade of yellow so light and bright but your killing it Hugo. Good to see you using and promoting good made to measure which is going to be the go to for so many of us.

Hugo as much as I love your attire what I want to emulate is your mannerism.

Having followed Hugo for a long time , Yesterday i finally found time to take the tgv to Paris , where I entered suit supply … I thought i had died and went to heaven Spent a few hours looking , touching fabrics , talking with the staff and just not allowing myself to get ahead of things . Picked up one nice grey Havana suit and ordered a beautiful dark charcoal with subtle stripe demi mesure suit . I wear a suit everyday for work and these purchases are purely for personal or social reasons . Thank You Hugo for all your advise and information . The only comments i would make are : take time to adjust to the choices and keep to a simple style with subtle tweaks . : I found the store’s artificial lighting made it difficult to see the fabrics real details and tones . I took everything outside onto the terrasse to look in natural light . Train Dijon - Paris A / R and a good hole in my credit card but worth every penny

The lapels on your coat are perfection.So many seem too high,with the lapel points peaking at or over the shoulder,making one appear as a frantic bird

Great video Hugo,amazing advice for the younger men.My first MTM suit was dark blue,mini herringbone.I still have it after more than 10 years😁

I miss so much videos from last year. What an amazing episode. Thank you.

I absolutely love my bespoke charcoal grey suit but now I'm having a navy one made just as Hugo advised. Hopefully not long after, I will make a three piece as well.

Hugo, your choice of necktie is excellent for your yellow suit.

Love the pale-yellow DB suit Hugo! Reminds me of my own one which I wore quite a bit in the 90s and still wear in summer or in the Caribbean, it's a 'killer' statement! Brio!

Fantastic! May Michal and Matēj succeed and flourish in their endeavours to clothe men and women elegantly x Tony p.s Hugo: I love your yellow suit :-)

I just ordered my first Made to Measure suit. Can't wait!!!!!!

So now we hear ‘Yellow’ by Coldplay in our heads the whole day, and it will make us happy. Hear hear!

The shoulders are spot on. That suit looks amazing on you Maestro

What a lovely suit hugo. Thanks for the video. Much joy and abundance to you guys

Great episode. I'm definitely ordering a suit from those guys when I return to Europe.

Very interesting the position of the guest about the reasons why choose Portugal!

Bossing the Yellow suit Hugo .As per usual another great talk .Coming into winter you will be putting on the overcoats . I have a Milan leather one that I have had for 25 years .Very heavy but love wearing it in the cold of Glasgow. Look forward to the next with you and your beautiful wife .God Bless both . David... SLANJ..

Your yellow suit....wonderful 4 the spring/ summer 2023..love it!!!!!CHEERS!!!!!!

Congrats Hugo on the yellow suit. You can see that the colour selected and the texture really does add a pop to the suit. Does this mean that we might see Sonya's latest addition soon as well in an up coming episode?

Gorgeous approach to women’s suits.

Love the inclusivity of both mens and womenswear! I will definitely be making a visit. I also love the yellow color you chose. We have similar coloring and I have always avoided yellows but this is changing my mind…

Thank you Hugo.

Once you go bespoke, MTM or MTO there's no going back to ready to wear and each tailoring experience is different. For me, my favorite and best fitting suits are MTM from Orazio Luciano...their's fit me better than a bespoke from Cifonelli. Thanks, Hugo, for another informative video. Cheers!

Beautiful conversation to hear .

I have to say Hugo is rocking that Yellow Suit with confidence, elegance of style and it just looks damn fantastic. I notice how the Tie matches as well 🤔 just studying the look. Always a thanks in these interviews to just show us something in your style or how it’s worn, we do observe and take mental notes. As well appreciate the guests of their craft and their recommendations as well how you can change look with matching vest. I like your recommendation of how to turn a suit jacket into a blazer/sports jacket over time. These are nuggets of style knowledge that are good to hear and know. Thanks for the constant learning of these interviews.

Excellente vidéo Hugo, hâte de faire votre connaissance la semaine prochaine !

Prague is a gorgeous city and Czech Rep a jewel of Europe. Meilleurs voeux de Roumanie.

The yellow suit is great! I wouldn't mind one myself maybe a wool linen or pure linen in yellow

Bonsoir, je viens de suivre votre intervention sur Cnews. Impeccable.

Τhe suit in that creme yellow is sick!

Suit matches very well with your watch 👌

I'm glad you asked for a comment on your suit. I didn't know if it was my imagination or not. But when I was looking at your shoulders I thought to myself I wonder if that is a suit off of the rack? Anyways the color is very nice and the fit also is very nice on you. This is not a insult, this is a compliment. It left me wondering if it was made to order or handmade. And I noticed that the gentleman on the right of the screen has a tailored coat on. 🙂 Keep up the good work. May God bless you and your family.

That yellow suit is magnificent!

Just dropped in to view and say I love this channel.

Thanks for the videos and satorial education.

The suit is magnificent!!

You look extra elegant in those beautiful colours Hugo. M.

The yellow suit is indeed elegant, im surprised that is not worn in mediterran place Syracuse italy or even Côte d'Azur France but for Prague but nevertheless still looks good. Keep up the good work Hugo all your videos have been inspirational and educational.

Regards from Brazil 🇧🇷

When I eventually get a MTM suit I'll probably ask for two pairs of trousers made to make them last longer!

what a great and informative video!

Hugo I love your unique yellow suit! it reminds me of yellow Laffy taffy. Love It

This is an excellent choice. A propos, I would like to add Jack Nicholson's entrancing appearance in a yellow jacket & black shirt from a scene of the film "Prizzi's Honour" by J. Huston (1985), in a romantic sequence with K. Turner, which made sensation.

Hi Hugo, I am still in torn between Lanieri (half canvas unfortunately they don’t offer full canvas option yet) and RTW pini parma. I heard a lot of good stuff regarding pini in which I am also considering their MTM service, I’m going to be in Paris next month. Cheers

As the jacket lasts longer than trousers it may be a good idea to buy 1 jacket and 2 trousers.

Thanks for this. I prefer to patronize a shop where the production occurs in the same place as the measuring, i.e, under the same roof (or at least in the same town), not exported to another country. We have to change our system to not be transporting every little thing 3,000 km back and forth, burning benzine, kerosene, etc. I understand that if one is on a budget, that this can be difficult to afford.

Dear Mr Jacomet, you look great with that suit. I understand that not everyone can look good with something, but you absolutely look very sharp, congratulations, and I have always admired the way you dress.

In the US, MTM is becoming more and more important because RTW lines are shrinking the range of available sizes. As a heavier guy, I can no longer go into Brooks Brothers, JPRESS or Ralph Lauren and find a suit or sports jacket and trousers in my size. And with prices of quality RTW near that of MTM, why wouldn’t you do MTM? Too bad that the Czech Republic isn’t more accessible for me, but fortunately you steered me to Enzo Custom in your earlier videos. I have a great fitting linen summer suit from them, as well as charcoal gray flannel trousers, and a second pair of trousers is on the way.

Great episode. Very nice gentleman and reasonable prices. I will have to go see them when I visit Prague. BTW you should do an episode on your yellow suit. Who did you work with, how you chose the color, fabric and details? Also, how do you wear it and people’s reactions. You look very happy they say yellow is a welcoming color. Your suit reminds me of a drawing from apparel arts of a “ light tan” gabardine suit ( although it has the appearance of butter yellow). I could see you in the French Riviera wearing this suit without a tie.

Great video - we should empower much more the middle and eastern European countries and their great entrepreneurs!

Hi guys, can you please show us Sonias suit? 🙏 Can you also tell us how many fittings it takes before you can pick up your suit? Need to plan my trip to Prag ✈. 😁 Thank's in advance.

I hope you have Vienna for future visits on your list

Great Content as always! Since I've been following your Channel for quite some time I am consequently working to get my Wife interested in the real Sartorial World beside the usual Ready-to-Wear Stuff. From my perspective it seems much more difficult to get access to quality Womens MTM compared to Mens. I would love to see you do a more detailed contribution especially to womens MTM and your personal advice where to start with. Thank you and kind regards from Germany

I think a darker grey (not charcoal) is a better choice than navy. Grey is more versatile of a colour when it comes to colour coordinating. Navy is more youthful, certainly. But at the same time, navy is a bit too dark and in my opinion, doesn't look great with black or other very dark colours. Since grey is less youthful than navy, a slightly lighter shade will work just fine as an evening-wear! Also, navy will tend to fade faster compared to a grey that's a bit lighter in shade

Hmmm that yellow suit on Hugo ✅ I have seen this only with Congolese sapeur/Dandies of Central Africa

Good morning. I am in my 20s and am a full time university student based in London, England. I was struggling to find a good brand of suits to invest into. I have a good collection of shirts from Charles Trywhitt but now am looking for the rest of the outfit, thank you.

There is a very lovely bespoke firm in Bratislava that I wish you could have the chance to try and advocate for.

Thank you so much for your very informative and educational videos. I’m seeking guidance on shoes, even though this video is not related to shoes. I have a high arch and it took a bit of time to find the right shoes, well at least comfortable. The shoes are Alden Modified Last (you’ve mentioned Alden brand I’m your videos). The last is narrow in the heel with a high instep which provides greater control and support through the rear & mid-foot. The front of the last allows the big toe to lie straight with a broad flare around the pinkie toe providing greater width and space for the toes. I get the shoes from the only place I can buy them from, the molded shoes shop in New York City, where I live. I would be most genuinely grateful if you could share names of some other Brands that make a similar type shoe. That would allow me to have some more options. In the past I’ve worn shoes like Ferragamo but always experienced either front of foot and/or back pain. So now I only wear Alden Modified Last, which I can find only in one store and with limited styles/models. Kindly-

Dear Hugo and Sonya, I am a big fan of yours! I have a question not immediately related to the topic of today's video, but I hope you will be so kind as to answer. I remember you once mentioned a leather cream you would particularly recommend, but I cannot recall the name. Could you please help me?

Have the two by any chance told you about a Czech musician and entertainer Dan Nekonecny? He was famous for wearing yellow all the time.

Amazing suit, though this colour is truly for advanced and self confidant . Great episodes and great value suits

Thanks Hugo . I’m turning 40 next year and I’m going to treat myself to a bespoke suit .This info has been helpful. Any recommendations in savile row ?

Hugo and Sonya: Thank you for all you, I have a question? Do you lose weight and get in shape before you embark in a journey of spending over $2k on a custom suit?

Dear Sonya&Hugo, is There any "manifesto" that express the essence of this "movement" of yours?

Your suit is very beautiful Hugo. Colors influence our feelings, how do you feel in a yellow suit?

I may be wrong about this, but I have a feeling that in a few years we will be looking back and basically laughing at these exaggerated lapels just like we look back and see some ridiculous trends from the 80s, 90s, etc. They're out of proportion. Think Pythagorean ratios, those are timeless.

Hugo, thank you for your informative videos! My husband is interested in getting bespoke suits made and he loves vintage and historical cuts, even ones that go as far back as the 1820’s. He might also be interested in unconventional design lines that go beyond single and double breasted. The sky is the limit. We often design clothing on paper together with the idea of presenting it to a tailor one day. I have never seen bespoke suits made with these wild aesthetics. Is it inappropriate to ask for such eccentric suits from a master tailor? Or would these requests be in line with sartorial services? Thank you.

Doesn't the vest size gets considered in the cut size of the suit so suit fit without the vest would be bit loose ?

You guys need to start your own brand asap.

What a great notification to receive :). Nice video, have a nice day.

I got my first decent suit at suit supply, fantastic fabric. I was upset when I realized after I purchased it I forgot to prioritize getting trousers with side adjustments. Now Im stuck with belt loops and I dislike belts and the matching game with shoes.

HELLO HUGO ; i would like to know , with a limited budget of 300€ which watch can you recommend me. Thanks

hi Hugo, I'm in for my first suit. I saw the suit you wear in your intro at 0:07 time mark. What fabric is this suit made of? Also is such a colour advisable as a first suit? love the videos!

Hello Hugo, I am interested in getting your Shoes book. I wrote an email and replied with the info you requested. Haven’t received a reply since. How can I buy the book in the English version? Thank you?.

How young may be too young to buy and wear made to measure suits? I am a university student who loves dressing up but feel slightly out of place

🎩🥃

Hmmmm that yellow suit is pretty great. I'm worried , however, that if I tried to pull that off I'd end up looking like a banana or something.

If you go to Vietnam or Thailand, be prepared for them to overpromise and underdeliver. Dont pay up front, and you need to be explicit they wont lift a finger more than they have to. they are the used car salesmen of suits.

Hugo, I absolutely love your content & subjects covered. But you really need to rein it in & stop talking so much / over your guests. We want to hear what they have to say. We already know that English is not your first language (cushion/pillow conversation was just embarassing), you're french, you had a new suit, etc. I, me, my, back in my days etc. is way too much. Stop it. Let them speak please.

Thanks for the videos and satorial education.
