“What about if life was a special occasion every day?” ❤ Also loved the knot tutorials - I am very bad at learning knots, but these were clear even to me. Wonderful video!

Hugo saves the day at 2:56. Been so busy, no time to comment, though listen while working. Today, decided on a tie which was given to me which had yet to wear and would not tie a nice knot using Four-in-hand, too stiff. Remembering this presentation and the Old Bertie, found the clip, then couple minutes later, had a nicely knotted tie! Fantastic! Thank you!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Great Adriel ! The Old Bertie is a great knot indeed and a fantastic alternative to the Four-in-Hand. Hugo

I own 33 ties which hang beautifully in my closet. I don't have a special occasion to wear one or a kind of job that requires a dressier entire. I do enjoy wearing a tie I think it's fun. I enjoy your videos. I like your comment every day should be a special occasion. Yes sir! 👔😊

Hugo, I write this as a student from south-eastern Europe. Wages are not that big and I doubt I will ever be able to afford to have exppensive suits made by Cifonelli, in Napoli or Saville Row. What message do you have for us middle class people? I know that you come from a humble family and I do to (father a worker at a factory and my mother has a boring desk job) so I really want to hear how did you succeed and gotten so much money ( if it is too unconvenient you don't have to talk about money) to be able to afford all these marvels of the sartorial world? And yet you remain so understated and humble. Inspire us, the young and the sartorial beginners but already passionate about good clothing. I would like to see a whole video about mindsets and life success. Thank you, and you are an amazing human being.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

You're very kind Krunoslav. The most important message is that classic style is slowly re-developing in eastern Europe and that good quality for affordable prices is on the rise. Continue to search, and you will find. We'll help and we visit Eastern countries from time to time. Cheers, Hugo

My advice to you dear friend is to check suit supply there s wardrobe starter line and don't go cheaper than that. Invest carefully and take your time in a couple of year u ll get a decent wardrobe and even have some pieces that u outclass!

Great video, Hugo! My experience is that while a bad shoe can break an otherwise impeccable look, a great tie on the other hand can really elevate an outfit to the next level. Being not wealthy at all, a few good ties bought second hand (Kiton, Drake's, Stefano Ricci for example) really helped me to feel at ease dressing up in the first year of my "sartorial journey".

This series on ties has been very interesting and dangerous. You once said that once you take a step into this world, it becomes addicting - and I must say this is becoming true about ties for me (it already happened with shoes and suits). I have begun by buying ties from Kirby Allison's Hanger Project (3 - these might be my favorite), Gentleman's Gazette(4), HN White (8), Ezra Amarfio (1)......but now I must get some from Calabrese 1924, Drake's, Tie your Tie, and Spacca Neopolis. You have done absolutely wonderful work in every video, but I enjoy your very thorough analyses of various topics. You are able to provide an overview without making one feel like yours is the only way to approach things. Truly an inspiration.

[@acquasea]

Great segment Hugo. I use an "Old Bertie" knot as well, but learned it starting with the underside of the tie facing up. Great knot indeed. I think I learned it from an early 90's Esquire magazine. I do have to lament though, that it really seems like the tie is quickly becoming an artifact, at least in the business world. I've noticed even high-end retailers in the US have drastically shrunken their tie selections. Here in ground-zero for the tech world, San Francisco, the tie has largely been shunned entirely for business attire, similar to the relaxation on Wall Street you mention in the video. Still a fair number who wear suits sans tie, and not too many with a tee shirt, thank goodness. That's LA. I think the flip side of this cultural shift is that, in a place like SF, if one wears a suit and tie, it reflects the freedom of choice now available and conveys a real intentionality in choosing to wear something nicer than jeans and an Untuckt shirt.

Hugo, I've been watching your Sartorial Talks for some time now and I truly appreciate your insiders knowledge of the particularities of various styles (French, Italian, Japanese etc.), your detailed yet artistic approach to fashion or menswear and look, your dedication to menswear field which is much needed among the sea of women's fashion, and most of all perhaps your " Namedropping" of truly special houses and boutiques which I think a lot of us would only find out thru the grapevine and by word of mouth ( NOT on Google search). It is very important to know the names of the artists and creators who often are very small in comparison to household names, and hard to find, as most of the truly great things are. I am thankful to know the houses I need to visit in Milan, Paris, Napoli, Barcelona by watching your program. Please continue to relate your experiences in the world and "advertise" the masters who are hard to find.

Great video Hugo. I always default to the Prince Albert 90 percent of the time. Due to thickness issues I default the the 4 in hand with winter ties which are typically wool or cashmere.

Thank you Billy for sharing. And long live the grenadine !! Hugo

[@dravidiangentleman]

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

My pleasure. Cheers, Hugo

One of the best tie brands I've encountered is Shibumi Firenze. Classic designs and beautiful soft silk that knots wonderfully with multiple dimples. One of my other favourite tie makers is Budd Shirts.

[@Ventura2050]

Hugo, you are the best.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

You're kind, Cheers, Hugo

[@miguelcustodio2177]

Dear Hugo, things like these "little longer " narrow end of tie, the asymmetrical knot, contrasting and matching colors etc. are what I meant in my last comment asking for advice on "breaking the rules" before another person jumped in to say something about "Picasso"

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Not sure I understand the Picasso thing, but yes, breaking the rules is much more fun than simply following them. Cheers, Hugo

Sir, I really belive you are a great Ambassador of sartorial world. I really love your passion in what you do. If I may suggest It will be interesting an episode about the concept of imperfection in menswear world. To me having an own style means being in a some way "imperfect". Merci

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

That's a good idea indeed. Thanks ! Hugo

Started wearing true custom shirts and 7 fold silk ties, and high level watches when my competitors were not. I attracted higher level clients with much much more ready available capital. The difference was in the clients trusting in me. I left my competitors in the dust. In fact after that I had no competitors.

Great content! Im a big fan of the four in hand as a professional poker player. The double Windsor is something I need to practice but it appears using snakes as ties is not recommended. Anyway I will keep at it because I like to dress like a toff in a manor. Bravo and thank you and daffy for the video. Tres byan Jason

[@MICHAEL-xr9yx]

Thank you so much. We appreciate you!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

You are very welcome Michael! Hugo

[@danielhakimi]

I would add recommendations for Bigi Milano and Sam Hober. I also have two Brooks Brothers ties I love -- a vintage untipped paisley madder and a modern one in beautiful silk from Ratti. But like Hugo said, his list is far from exhaustive.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Daniel. Thank God my selection is far from exhaustive ! Hugo

[@Clarkson350]

Well done! Enjoyed the video. I have some ties that are now 20-30 years old and they are quite wide some being 4". Are these still in style? Your style of not having a perfect knot is to be applauded. Wear a tie and dress for the position you want, make yourself standout, have a deep pride in yourself and your style.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Any tie is in style as long as you can pull it off my friend. It's all in the head. Stay well and safe, Hugo

[@Timbo5000]

Thank you for another beautiful video! I hope that in the future you'll touch on the subject of how to recognise good local tailors. I hope to find a good bespoke tailor in my country (the Netherlands) to build a personal relationship with instead of having to travel far and wide for a good suit. Though if the needs arises I could travel for good clothing, I feel I'm missing all of the local options. For those who live in lower wage countries this could be especially good, because local tailors will offer the best price/quality balance instead of having to travel to expensive tailors in London, Paris and across Italy.

[@countalma9800]

I also like how your shirt collar is asymmetrical. Perhaps you could make a video about various shirt collars? Fused/lined vs unfused/unlined. I assume you don't use collar stays either.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Actually I'm using collar stays, but the one I used in this video were not strong enough for this massive and long collar. This is why it's quite "messy" at one point. But I love this shirt collar ! Hugo

[@countalma9800]

SARTORIAL TALKS Thanks for the reply. I think it looks fantastic.

[@soulbasedliving]

I never button the top one on my shirts. Never have. When I started wearing ties it was the early 80s. Ties were heavy and thick. I have fond memories of getting out of high school classes and going to Macy's to shop for ties

[@monkeypawism]

Wonderful ties you show. I need to work on my double 4-in-hand as a shorter guy. Would an "old Bertie" work on shorter men?

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Yes it would also. Cheers, Hugo

[@krzysztof2986]

Thanks Hugo, another inspirational video with lots of valuable content! As always, very entertaining and pleasant to watch. You and your wife are blessed with storytelling skill. I believe and hope that with people like you we'll live through the renaissance of tailor made clothing and people will express their individuality and character through being individually stylish. Later I will explain what it means to me. I became one of those inspired by you and your message. I decided to purchase three custom suits, each from a different tailor. Each in three pieces, each in Prince of Wales pattern. They would differ in color (gray/navy/black) and fabric (weight and structure). Why did I choose to do so? Beside the reason of (1) having the cloth that hopefully will help me find a fantastic wife, (2) finding the tailor I would like to continue to work with. I would like to (3) help those tailors improve their businesses - kind of my nature and professional career is around improving business performance. Wish me luck in achieving those! Finally, why 'Prince of Wales' pattern (so what this tailored individualism means to me)? Beside I just like how Prince of Wales pattern looks, I really feel it represents my nature. What do I mean by that? I don't like to stand out from the crowd, especially for those I don't know well - just like the Prince of Wales pattern looks plain and solid from the distance. Then if someone knows me better, it turns out there are multiple 'shades' and 'patterns' that creates to this initially obvious solid color - just like the Prince of Wales check when you get closer. For those who knows me even better they would point out how often am I expressing nonstandard and non-obvious opinions. Just like this color (windowpane-like) pattern frequently composed to Prince of Wales fabric. And finally, those who knows me inside-out would mark that my personality is crazy and colorful like the craziest lining one can imagine. Please continue what you do, really appreciate, and how inspirational I hope I gave a good example above! Cheers :-)

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Wow, I don't know what to say. Thank you my friend. Hugo

[@taiwanisacountry]

Great as always.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Andreas! Hugo

I'm surprised you didn't mention the *Shelby* knot, aka *Reverse half Windsor.* It's a renegade knot, masquerading as a businessman's friend, or vice versa; I'm not sure!!✨🌹
