Hugo Jacomet's Personal Wardrobe

Hugo, the idea of a grown man spending a half hour of his life to contemplate and hear about the clothes of another grown man seems ridiculous, but that is what happened. 😄 Thank you for this!

[@bartderuyck]

"Buy quality. It's better to save and buy a super-good suit than buy-buy-buy-buy and then throw and/or don't wear." Those are words to live by, and not just when it comes to suits. I also like how candid you are about some of the insights you had after purchasing a suit. Thank you for the wonderful video, Hugo!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Bart for your kind words of encouragement. Cheers, Hugo

[@ianarn]

You’re right! I bought a bespoke Neapolitan suit for £3000 that I’ve worn a reasonable amount of times and then a fused sport coat for £120 I have never worn which I’m considering throwing away! So no points for guessing which was a costly mistake!

[@MrFreeze79]

I have been following Sartorial Talks for only about a month now but you guys are so inspiring. I'm a bigger guy that has struggled for years with my self image. I love to wear suits and dress clothes but my weight fluctuates so much and it's hard to feel confident in what I wear. Just in the last month I feel so much more confident with knowing there is a community of people that care about looking great and knowing that there are others out there that want their wardrobe to be what speaks before they open their mouth. Thank you for all that you do, Hugo. You are an inspiration and I can't wait to own my very 1st bespoke 3 piece suit someday. Thank you!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Ej for sharing your thoughts and experience. all the best to you, Hugo & Sonya

[@brandonbentley8532]

If you are like me then you are working with a budget and may need to buy your items piece by piece. I would start with the shoes, then jacket, then the rest of the suit. You mentioned your weight fluctuations, a tailor can add adjustments and even different materials to make you comfortable. A suit is not only to look good but you should feel very comfortable in the suit in every element. How you carry yourself with posture is important also. Again, good shoes will change your life and is the foundation of your wardrobe. Best wishes to you and good luck!

If you sink $10,000 into a couple of suits, it may prove motivation enough to maintain a steady figure :)

I have just discovered this channel. I am the type to wear jeans, a lumberjack jacket and some boots. I will never buy a suit and absolutely don't find suits or any type of Chino or Pantalon type clothing appealing. However, the passion that you represent and radiate when you talk about your field, made me watch multiple of your videos with close attention. You have a oratorial gift!

[@LifeCoach44]

Nathan M I primarily do wear suits because of my line of work, but when I’m in a more rural or casual setting, I’ll wear dark jeans, boots, and a grey suit jacket. Now that I think about it, I’ve gotten more compliments on that type of outfit than any other.

[@NathanMulder]

@@LifeCoach44 Cool to know! What kind of suit do you wear? I think both styles are very nice if you ask me. I just don't see the use in a suit that I won't wear to work or in my social life. Do you wear your suit(s) a lot outside of work?

0:48 Hugo, you already have inspired me to buy my first shoes outside from local mall. This week I have recieved new loafers from Meermin. Their price is similar to mass-market shoes, but they look much better. Now i know that there are not just shoes, but loafers, derbies, oxfords, monks, chealsea boots. Looking forward to buy something from Loake or Herring thanks to your video about best shoe brands. Also I have found in my city tailor who is doing made-to-measure shirts. Now i am thinking about to order a linen shirt for summer with precise mine measurements.

This blue you wore for the interview looks stunning, Hugo. Love this colour. It looks so refreshing and positive among all these dark, at best dark blue or grey suits I usually see. Suits you very well. As well as I love your detailed explanations why and how you chose what for your personal suits style, how much it was etc. and ... that you didn't intend to lecture anybody. I think that was very important to emphasise at a certain point as well, since the Latin maxim goes _'De gustibus _*_non_*_ est disputandum.'_ . Unfortunately it's often misinterpreted or even wrongly translated and many were taught or seem to understand that in matters of taste, there do could be disputes. Thanks for clarification and ... your inspiration. ;)

[@Hotspur62]

My sartorial journey began when I moved to Hong Kong in 2007 with bespoke suits by local tailors. You get what you pay for. Then I discovered ready-to-wear by Ring Jacket before going full tilt boogie with MTM and bespoke Orazio Luciano, Huntsman, Dalcuore, Cifonelli and most recently Sartoria Yuki Inoue. It is an expensive hobby, but the upside is I work out more at the gym so that I can keep wearing these pieces of art and, most importantly, I get compliments from the smart ladies at the office :-)

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Haha, these are indeed two of the numerous "upsides" of dressing bespoke. Thank you for sharing your experience. Hugo

[@capitandelnorte]

Even though my taste in how suits are cut is very different from his, this man radiates so much elegance. There is something about his attitude, so polite and low key. Gentile. The fact that his style is so consistent also shows great confidence, I think that is one of the most elegant things you can have. Thank you for the tips. I don't have money to go straight to Cifonellis but will keep on improving my wardrobe and aiming for the style I love.

Mr. Jacomet, it's truly a pleasure to listen to you speak so eloquently about what elegance, confidence and personal style is all about.

Many thanks. Suits always stored in suit bags (with zips) to avoid moths and coats hanged on proper hangers (with thickness on the shoulder to maintain the shape of the suit). Shoes, never on the floor (they need to dry and breath) and always put on woods immediately after removing them. With these two simple gestures, you'll multiply the life of your shoes by 3.

Fantastic. The aspect of quality tailored clothes that I am most attracted to is the thought and investment that goes into it, making it more than just an article of clothing. As you say the choices you make during this process are a stylistic statement, and I feel like a lot of men today are either afraid to do that, or simply do so unintentionally without being completely conscious of what messages they convey.

Hi Hugo, Thank you so much for sharing your wardrobe with gentlemen of the world. You've inspired me so much to build my wardrobe.

I'm trying to introduce the ascot here in the San Francisco bay area, but I keep getting feedback from friends and family that it's outdated, and looks too flamboyant. Thanks Andrew San Francisco, California, USA

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Andrew, I'm afraid we'll not be able to dedicate a full episode to the Ascot, but we'll probably include it in an episode dedicated to neckwear. An Ascot is more discreet than flamboyant. It creates a very conservative feeling. Traditional, almost blue blood . I don't wear Ascot because I have the feeling it ages me a lot, but I know a few gentlemen who pull it of with success!

Hi Hugo! Thank you so much for your honesty and sharing your wardrobe. You are a great great personal inspiration. I just invested in my first made-to-measure single breasted half-canvas suit. Approx 1000€ in Denmark, as I have limited funds. (Mond of Copenhaguen: portugese produced, Italian fabrics). It is not a high-end tailor, but I think they did a decent job. I got it a week ago, and today I am going to ware it for the first time. Amazing. My question to you Hugo, if you can find the time, is about lapels. I am very happy with the suit, but wary about the lapel. I wonder to what extent 'brakes' on the lapel is acceptable when one sits or moves around. I understand that there will always be a 'brake' if you sit down and haven't opened the jacket(which one should not do, always open when sited I hear), but if the jacket is closed and you move around and there is 'brake' in the lapel, is this normal, or a problem that a 1000€ suit cannot take into account, and only be avoided if one goes bespoke? Or should I ask for refitting? (I am not sure what to call the 'brake', it is like when the lapel does not fall smoothly down, but sometimes 'folds' or 'brakes' or 'spikes outs') Again thank you, may God's blessings be upon you and Sophia!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear KL, I'm not sure what you mean by a "brake". At first I thought you were talking of a small X in the region of the functional button, which is totally acceptable (and even good to have, as this little (but controlled) imperfection adds a little flair to your suits). But after you speak about lapels. So I don't know, but according to what I read, you should definitely go for a refitting. Best of luck ! Hugo

[@kristianlykke]

Yeah, I'll get a refitting, it's a minor thing. Sorry I can't explain better. It's a beautiful suit, so that's great. Looking forward to the next videos! Thanks for reply! :-D

[@arturogomez3387]

It is always good to see your videos

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Merci Arturo! Cheers, Hugo

We're growing impatient for more videos! By the way, this video inspired me to go bespoke just last week; it's going to be a double-breasted in "middle" grey. Not too dark, not too light.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Excellent content

[@onilosha]

Excellent and very inspiring. If you could show more pictures of your suits it would be great.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Fation. We'll try to show more pictures in the future. Hugo

[@elsentai100]

Your passion for double-breasted inspired me to buy my first jacket as a young one :) Vitale Barberis Canonico fabric. Learning from you sir every single day!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Excellent. Enjoy my friend! Hugo

[@breabanm]

Great content as usual! I went made-to-measure last year and even though the first experience was not perfect, I think I got a great looking suit out of it. Will be doing it again this year with some tweaks to the measurements. Full bespoke is not available in my area and I would hve to drive like 150 km just to get to the nearest bespoke tailor shop. And it is out of budget anyway.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Marius for your contribution to the discussion. Cheers! Hugo

@@SARTORIALTALKS Hugo, thank you for taking the time to respond to each commenter. I rarely see this on other channels. I cannot wait for the next episode!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

@@breabanm My pleasure. The next episode in 13 days. Best, Hugo

[@ElNeo9778]

Just love the suit that you are wearing in this episode! Hope it is covered in a future episode. Noticed the watch you are wearing, tried to get a better look - JLC Master Control?

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

The suit I'm wearing is from Gaetano Aloisio in Rome with a Super160s fabric by Drago (it will be covered in a future episode of course). The timepiece I wear on this episode is a Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Tourbillon. Cheers, Hugo

[@Alexgvigo]

Nice video ! Oui, en effet, pas toujours très pratique le Hounstooth , surtout quand on a un changement à Châtelet !😀

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Haha oui Alexandre, vous avez parfaitement compris ! Hugo

[@stewartbone4236]

If you visit Shanghai, Germain Tailors, Xuhui District, does soft Neapolitan tailoring at great prices with all the Italian fabrics. They offer an outstanding service.

[@joshuasharp3892]

just just thinking man i need another video !! WOO HOO !!!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Haha, thanks, Hugo

[@MrJamescord]

You made me stop and think, I need to evaluate what I have and get 1 bespoke suit made. I live in far west, TX so I think I will need to travel to Dallas or some other major city to find a good maker. If any readers can recommend somebody I would be thankful. I have started on my journey and will consider the summer suit as one to get. I really liked that blue one with the Chevron pattern and the Prince of Whales pattern. I really want one with peak lapels and double breasted. You are very inspirational!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Mr James ! You mean the Prince of Wales I'm sure. Hugo

[@andrey3912]

Hi Hugo! Thanks a lot for all what you’re doing on your channel! It’s really awesome and I can’t stop watching it. It makes me re-consider all my wardrobe and spending habits. May I for your recommendations for bespoke tailor in Barcelona? Thanks!

[@hermannballesterosv]

I have an extensive wardrobe, but not even one double breasted suit. I am going for one this week :). It,s uncommon in the west to see anyone using those types of outfits, and it’s something often associated with older people, but after listening to you i really want to give it a try.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Yes Hermann you should look at it with fresh eyes and give it a new try. But one advice : it has to be very well cut. No compromise with double-breasted. It has to fit. Good luck! Hugo

[@wwerrent8079]

Great video, as always

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Merci Monsieur! Hugo

[@davidt4233]

Thanks Hugo. I'm a New Yorker living in Israel. It's much more casual here. Can you do an episode that is less formal or "dressy", and more "casual"? Like polo's, khaki's, shorts, sandals, sneakers, etc...?

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Hey David, it's not my specialty but we've been writing on this quite often on our website. Take a look here as an introduction : parisiangentleman.co.uk/academy/pg-essentials-the-staples-needed-to-build-your-entire-wardrobe/ Cheers, Hugo
