Q&A N°1 with Sartorial Talks

[@krollic]

To me, elegance is simply when sophistication meets subtlety. I agree resoundingly with Hugo when he points out that a lot of young men who are starting their style journey fall into the trap of thinking that to be elegant you need to wear old-fashioned/dated clothing with an abundance of needlessly complicated accessories. The issue with such a thing is that it very often oversteps what is culturally appropriate in our day and age and you run the risk of looking like a clown with all your extraneous/excessive details. You can very quickly turn your outfit into a costume! The purpose of elegant clothing in my mind is to draw attention to the wearer, not to the clothes itself. One thing that my grandfather said to me that stuck in my mind was "The man should wear the clothes; not the clothes the man" Yet again, another thoroughly enjoyable video. Looking forward to the next. - Max

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Max, thank you so much for such an interesting and thoughtful comment. And your grandfather was a wise man. Yours, Hugo

[@christopherfoley2819]

rky fantastic response, very insightful

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I Agree with you Christopher. Hugo

[@dominicweber]

rky But then again, it depends on the level of maturity and confidence of style of each person to what extent this is true. Some designers, like Yves Saint Laurent, produced extremely strong clothes, of unseen elegance and ostentation. Only a few people could wear them, as you indeed had to be an extraordinary person to wear them, and to not have them making you disappear. But these people then had an incomparable aura, a true elegance, because their clothes matched their personality, their confidence, their way of being. These people would always resonate, fascinate and simply inspire, which is what elegance is all about. So I’d say, rather than categorically deny strong clothes, that this balance should be there. Because it would be a shame for people with that amount of elegance not to live their potential. What a loss for humanity it would be, otherwise.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Excellent contribution once again. Thank you for participating to this channel. Cheers, Hugo

[@lordnerevar137]

Mr. Jacomet, thank you for this series. As a 23 year old man from the southern USA, I don't have anywhere to learn about bespoke tailoring nearby. I've learned a lot about how to refine my tastes and style thanks to you.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I'm happy to read this. And I'm sure you'll find some good places in southern USA (Atlanta maybe ?), Cheers, Hugo

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Hey Tom. Sven is a good friend since a long time. The sartorial planet is a small one ! Hugo

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Sven will actually be visiting us in France next month. We may shoot a video together. Hugo

[@BobbyReed]

Thanks as always, Hugo, for your sage insights. I'm so glad you mentioned the thrifting aspect to fine and thoughtful dressing for the aware men among us. There are treasures (at least here in Los Angeles) in the thrift and consignment shops. Handmade jackets (I have a rack full) that might require the slightest adjustment, but the fun is in the hunt. For pennies on the dollar, too. That makes the effort so worth it. I'm steaming a jacket now as I watch your video. It's such a true expression of ones self, great clothing. Our faces to the world, so to speak.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Good evening Bobby ! Thank you so much for your contribution and for sharing your experience. I love to steam my jackets as well ! Cheers, Hugo

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Just wanted to thank you for setting the bar so high. Even if the average Joe like me doesn't reach it,....we sure win from the attempt or the pursuit, I should say. The education one gets from your channel is just outstanding.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Anthony, thank you for your beautiful, humble and sincere words. And thank you for your support, very much appreciated. Cheers from France ! Hugo

[@westfieldartworks8188]

I agree with you Ingrid. It's like oil painting, as soon as you think you're finally getting a hold of it,....it ups the ante. This is all interesting to me from an artistic standpoint, and at the same time just pursing this is just a blast! lol

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Thank you, Hugo. Your comment back to me meant more than you know.

[@josepht.7937]

Anthony, I am insulted with your use of the word Joe. I promise you sir, there is nothing average about me! Just kidding!!! I totally agree with everything you said about the video! If I didn't have to work, I'd sit down and watch Hugo's videos all day!

[@RomanRebel86]

Mr. Jacomet, what a pleasure it is to listen to your comments and insights. You exude elegance. Bravo!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Gracie Davide ! Yours, Hugo

[@wsfzhmt]

Sir I'm officially a big fan of you! Seldom I saw anyone on youtube as passionate as you are. In my country most men exhibit little knowledge of style, or elegance. I hope your voice can be heard, your idea can be shared and your style can be appreciated! Big thank you from China!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Oh thank you so very much for your appreciation and encouragements ! Hugo

[@jeremiahbok9028]

I hadn't thought about my generation saving bespoke and whatnot, that made me smile. Lovely insights, thanks ever so much.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Jeremiah for your appreciation. And yes this generation has been instrumental in giving artisanal tailoring and shoemaking a vital second wind. Cheers, Hugo

[@kenim]

Jeremiah Bok we are a generation that appreciate "oldschool" good craftmanship rather than affordable generic goods.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Exactly Kenim ! Cheers, Hugo

[@kenim]

SARTORIAL TALKS I want to deeply thank you Hugo. I am 30 years old married man and father of 2, and after my 2nd child was born this year I suddenly transitioned to a more adult style. In the search of knowledge of how to corretly be elegant I found your channel. The knowledge and advice in styling was great of course but when I saw your video of how a gentleman should be and your story of how you became a cristian, I was truly moved and knew that this quest of mine really was a Godsend. Thanks once again for your guidance of how to live a better and more elegant life.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Kenim for your moving words. It gives a lot of meaning to what to try to do. God bless you and your family. Hugo

[@Shlomolipmanmusic]

I love all your videos but this is my favorite!!!!! I’m a 21 year old who’s getting more and more into men’s dress and fashion. 90% of the people in my environment don’t dress this way. Thanks so much for your advice and knowledge.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Shlomo for your kind and encouraging words! Hugo

[@anthonysanni]

I always come back to this video for a sobering yet inspiring reminder of why I embarked on my style journey many years ago. Thanks for your insights Hugo.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you for your kind words and support! Hugo

[@federanger]

C'est un privilège de pouvoir voir vos vidéos. vous êtes vraiment une source d'inspiration pour nous tous. J'apprécie chaque seconde de votre contenu et je suis entièrement reconnaissant d'avoir pris le temps et pour votre travail. Meilleures salutations du Mexique

[@juanfigueroa-serville2465]

Thank you Mr. Jacomet. Sir, I enjoy your teachings and nuggets of wisdom shared. The greatest of gentlemen in my opinion are those who are willing to be teachers and inspire upcoming generations of men to reach and realize our full potential.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Juan for your kind words and for your appreciation. Hugo

[@Mambojeff]

I can listen to you talk all day, Hugo. Thank you in sharing your knowledge and passion.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Jeff for your support and encouragements. Hugo

[@1989amiras]

Another masterpiece by Hugo, Sonia and the whole Sartorial Talks team ! The ease in which you explain your point of view as well as the idea of not dwelling on ourselves but rather use this so called "Elegance" to define a behavior rather then an outfit is amazing. You said correctly, my Father is wearing jeans and T shirt to work (with Crooks) so I had no guidance at all - it's easy to get lost in the fashion aspect of Elegance rather then understanding there is more to it then the cloths themselves, who are merely a vessel to a greater cause (such as being kind, caring, polite to others, etc.) I learn a lot from each and every video you make - keep them going please! Thank you, Amir

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Amir, thank you so much for your contribution. It's important for us to feel understood and that our message (which goes indeed far beyond clothes) is correctly received by clever gentlemen like you. Cheers, Hugo

[@williamcreitz7759]

Mr. Jacomet. Wisely and brilliantly articulated, as usual. You do a great job of putting style in its proper context-what we are inside is always more important that what we look like on the outside. Keep up the good work!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you William for your appreciation and your wise words. Hugo

[@Risingnshouting]

Thank you so much for stating the obvious so eloquently- that it is very easy to become unbalanced with a focus on ME and selfishness when traveling down the path to dressing well. I have been researching this topic for years, and was considering getting a high end M2M suit, but always had a fear in the back of my mind that this could somehow change who I was, or how I acted in a negative way. With your sage advice to remember humility, generosity and sincerity, I feel much more prepared to take some significant steps forward in this journey. Thank you!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

This is one of the most inspiring comments we ever had here. Thank you so much for your sincerity and your extremely touching contribution. Yours, Hugo

[@sakakibaryo]

Interesting insight about ego there. I quite agree with that as I have seen people who are acting holier-than-thou when they think they have learned everything about style, while I think it is pretty much impossible to learn "everything" about style. Like you've said, it's about refining. I think it's a part of the learning curve , which I think most people have gone through, when they're at the mid-uphill of the curve, they will be full of ego and arrogance. Maybe it's a big homework for the Sartorial community to "fix" this kind of behaviour.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Excellent contribution Rio. I agree with everything you write. Cheers, Hugo

[@b1e2m3]

I’ve been going through a lot of your videos and have found most of them so insightful, this one exceptionally so. I’m so pleased to see a balanced and gracious role model like yourself gain some measure of internet fame. Please don’t stop, the world needs more men like you.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Bennett for your kind words and for your encouragements. Cheers, Hugo

[@DeusVult7777]

[@bretmelton7116]

Hugo, I love how you started this conversation! You stated its fantastic that this young generation is interested in the fashion and dressing well, what a positive outlook. You are definitely passionate about it.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Bret for your kind and encouraging words! Hugo

[@qsiv9079]

Thank you Hugo! Your insights on this topic and the issues which the luxury fashion industry faces are most insightful! I completely agree that there is an unhealthy amount of ego demonstrated through social media i.e. Instagram and its important to be aware of this when embarking on the Sartorial journey. I myself being 22, have found it useful to keep my content informative and honest which helps in keeping myself in check to ensure i'm doing it for the right reasons. As always thank you, and all the best! Reece J Elliott.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks my friend for your always insightful contributions. Hugo

[@qsiv9079]

A pleasure as always! Stay blessed!

[@TheObviousMetaverse]

This is a wonderful post. There is a nobility and an expression of character and soul, that you are communicating so vividly. I hope the message reaches people. I appreciate the questioning of some of the obvious sartorial traps, and how they reflect our characters. Thank you !!!!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you so much Justin for your kind words on our work. Cheers, Hugo

[@TheObviousMetaverse]

Thank you Hugo!

[@salahalbraiki660]

You are absolutely right, specifically when you beautifully described the learning cycle by saying People normally spend too much without preparing themselves properly. Then they start understanding what is suitable for them. Finally they simplify it... Beautifully described 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Salah for your contribution and encouragements. Hugo

[@trentpotter1889]

Hugo, I absolutely love your channel, and you’ve been one of the inspirations to my brother and I. We left the corporate world several years ago and bought an old shoe repair shop in Nashville. We’ve always loved well-made shoes, and it was our dream to own our own business. We’ve grown it into the most reputable shop in town. Like you said, if it weren’t for a resurgence in men wearing nice shoes and clothing, so many shops like mine could possibly go out of business. In a world of cheap, throwaway clothing/shoes, it’s always nice when folks remember that there are still families relying on quality garments in order to make a living. Also, as we tell so many of our customers, if you pay a little more for a good quality shoe, it will last for years, as opposed to being thrown away a year later. Again, keep up the great work!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you so much Trent for your nice contribution. As you may not know, my wife Sonya Glyn is born in Tennessee and we own a small bungalow in North Georgia, 10 miles from Copperhill TN. I'm so happy to read what you achieved in Nashville. Maybe we'll visit you one day. Cheers! Hugo

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

You are very welcome. Yours, Hugo

[@ReticentSparrow]

Thank you for taking the time to address these questions, sir. I wanted to share my thoughts on your answers. While not quite as young as the men you probably refer to, I am also a member of the group whose fathers didn't teach them about men's style. I don't hold that against my father. He's a good man, and had other priorities. I'm glad that circumstances have conspired to help me discover fashion and refine my style. If I'm blessed with children, I would like to pass that knowledge on to them. Perhaps style is both discovered and innate. For a long time, I had a vague idea of what look appealed to me, but didn't possess the nerve to try it. Since then, I have learned some of the rules, and follow them. Mostly. I have been fortunate enough to get some input when I was trying too hard. It is amazing how transparent people can be when they are wearing something they are uncomfortable in. I've seen that stiffness you've mentioned more than once. I believe you are absolutely correct with the aspects of men's fashion you mentioned here: audacity, frugal-ness and humility. It takes audacity to defy the norm, whether it's far from a fashion-hub or in the center of it. Being frugal instills a better understanding of the clothing and services purchased, and any investment should be well-researched. This journey has helped me to remain humble. I remember how daunting the journey can be, and I'm aware of the technical flaws in what I wear. I don't think there's anything wrong with "peacocking" a tiny bit. After all, we are dressing to look good and not merely blend-in. This only becomes a problem when it comes at the expense of others.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Daniel, this is one of the best comment posted about this episode. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and bringing a lot of good points in the debate. Very sharp and insightful. Cheers, Hugo

[@waltski4375]

Thank you for posting this video. The creation, evolution, and refinement of one's style is a continuous process. I have made many mistakes and they have cost me a small sum of money and have filled bags of clothing for donation to charity. However, with mistakes come wisdom and the advice to proceed slowly and not to go too far too fast when building a wardrobe is spot on. On the topic of ego, there is a difference between self esteem and self importance. If one has good friends/relationships, they can function as a barometer to keep one in balance and harmony. I look forward to your next video.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Sir for an insightful and interesting comment. Cheers, Hugo

[@williammosezar]

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear William, thank you for your comment and appreciation of the work of our team. Cheers, Hugo

[@Lorax_Tribe]

Excellent commentary, Hugo. I use online tailors, shrewdly shop Ebay for shoes, alter shirts I find at thrift stores, and have become fairly adept at shoe polishing. What impresses the most is fine fabrics, a good fit, conservative use of pattern, and as you say, one accessory if even that. I love to find a fine silk Italian tie at the Goodwill for three dollars.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Hahaha, you are right! Sometimes thrifting in second-hand or consignment stores can become a real treasure hunt. Yours, Hugo

[@Yariten]

Another great piece, thank you. I particularly love the reference to how we (who hover around fascinated by similar things) are excited by the nobility of craftsmanship...it would be such a tragedy to lose these arts to modern convenient machine work. You are the flag bearer for these artisans and I support you!

I have gone through practically every KZbin channel on this genre and no one comes close to your channel. While every channel talks about the methodology of being a gentleman, you talk about the philosophy. It always feels as if I'm listening to a spiritual teacher when I listen to you and your wife.

Great vid Hugo. So much knowledge and wisdom in this video that goes beyond men’s style. You can tell you know your profession and history on the subject and it’s inspiring to see.

[@TheCameltotem]

Great words. I really liked the part where you said young men takes advice from their grandpa instead of father because they haven't teached us. That's very true words.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

That's what most of our readers / followers / subscribers are telling us. The generation of their fathers have spent their lives to reject the codes of the 1950s of elegance and courtesy. So their role models are their grand fathers whom their respect a lot. Cheers, Hugo

SARTORIAL TALKS I've also learned that we are brothers in Christ. That our faith, philosophies, and hope is in the Christ and Christ alone. I was watching your wife's video about, a women's perspective of being a gentleman, and thought to myself that sounds like what God is teaching me: to do what is right, to become selfless and matching that with how to present myself towards others. Then watching your life story this morning. I've learned that we're, including your wife, in God's family. So I thank God that what your channel has is style, but also beyond. Aloha and God bless, from Hawaii, my brother and sister.

[@declanthiele]

I also have this to say to young men. An approach to elegance can lead to arrogance. Pride is always our downfall, so remember allways, just because you look better doesnt mean you are better.

[@dominicweber]

To me, elegance is something different to just attention to detail and a clear etiquette. A person without any groomed or calculated appearance can be tremendously elegant. Elegance is that little something that differs you from others by being effortlessly beautiful in how you act, talk, live. It’s when you are perfectly in tune with yourself, and have a style that is perfect resonation of yourself. Elegance is when someone not only feels beautiful, but is by exuding this feeling. Some designers had the power of making their customers and models feel like that with their creations. People like Dior, Chanel, or most of all Balenciaga. And that’s why their legend is still this alive.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Tank you for this elegant contribution to the debate. Yours, Hugo

Mr. Jacomet, Thank you for the Sartorial Talks and what you do. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate that you share your experiences and thoughts. Keep up the good work. And a little off topic question if I may. Do you have some tip for shops in Paris that would offer nice unlined ties or some vintage shops with classic menswear? Thank you

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Michal for you appreciation. Concerning your question, it would be too long to answer you here. Please send your request to [e-mail] cheers, Hugo

[@rfrec733]

Since you have it in this video, here is a question that I always wanted to know the answer to: Is it a style no-go, when your above your ties a little bit of your shirt is showing?

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Haha, that's a good and honest question : I personally prefer to tie my ties a little bit "loose", with a dimple and even, sometimes, with the small blade slightly longer than the front one. It's my taste and my little "twist" that brings to my outfits a little dose of imperfection that I cherish. You can read more about this on our website here : parisiangentleman.co.uk/2016/03/27/neckwear-and-nonchalance/ I hope I answered your question, Cheers, Hugo

Sure, we will do a video on this topic in the future. Best, Hugo

[@danfletcher3190]

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Dan ! Hugo

[@thatlumberjack]

It would be great if you included Hugo’s full name in the title or description. Also please include a link to his Instagram since he mentioned it.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

That's a good idea ! By the way the link to my Instagram is on the banner of the channel and my name is Hugo Jacomet. (Instagram @parisian_gentleman). Cheers, Hugo

Thank you for your appreciation ! Hugo

[@AndyHarpist]

I think perhaps what typifies your fine series is good manners. Maybe you or Sonja should create a video about the importance of manners? Andy.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

That's a good suggestion Andy! Cheers, Hugo & Sonya

you dress for yourself....and you dress for others...a quality of nobility is to respect others. When I go to the office, I represent. The herd is strong.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Jay for your comment. Hugo

Mr Hugo, I'm 23 from Singapore and is rather intrigue with tailored or bespoke wear, I'm thinking of learning to tailor as a hobby

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Why not but it's a lot of work young man ! Cheers, Hugo

[@MrbonitoMrCai]

SARTORIAL TALKS yes I know Mr Hugo but I'll need to find someone or some place to learn to do so

[@massimo7219]

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Gracie Massimo ! Hugo

Intéressant la question de l'ego. Il faut garder à l'esprit que certes le style est passionnant mais après tout cela reste des vêtements qui pourront tout au plus servir à mettre en valeur notre personnalité, pas à en créer une de toute pièce.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Je ne saurais mieux dire. Bien à vous, Hugo

You know, I didn't know there was a rebirth, renaissance of the young generation returning to suits and suiting, especially looking to their Grandfathers until watching your tow Vedas, including this one. I bet I am older then them, though still look to my paternal Grandfather, and surprised to find out I am not the only one. What makes my story have a twist is my maternal Grandfather is the reason my Dad even had sport coats because he expected the husband of his daughter to dress well for special occasions. As a child the jackets were very memorable as had amazing texture because Dad is allergic to wool. My paternal Grandfather taught me when 12 how to tie a tie because I asked. I can see what you mean Hugo going from simple (ex. navy sport coat as a teen), to wild (ex. vintage three piece polyester with flares as late teen/young adult), then to refined (ex. subtle pin stripe two pieces in my 30s). Look forward to more videos.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you so much Adriel for your interesting and inspiring contribution, and for taking the time to really participate to the discussion here. Very much appreciated. Cheers, Hugo

[@nickob55]

Some people pull it off and some never will, whether its a suit or casual wear.....and those who have the gift can wear almost anything....

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I kind of agree even if everyone can truly progress in his personal style pursuit... Best ! Hugo

[@StrivingAlways]

Hi Hugo, I want to know what is the original function or intention of the men's neck tie? Perhaps you have already addressed this in another video?

[@tangchiprathomo819]

Hi Mr. Jacomet, Do you have any plan to make videos on men’s watches and bags?

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I'm not a specialist of watches and bags, unfortunately. Best! Hugo

[@ATHANOR51]

Vivere a Napoli per tantissimi anni mi ha insegnato molto riguardo l'eleganza, il buon gusto, il vestire anche in maniera personalizzata, Relazioni con il pubblico come assicuratore, agente, funzionario. Porsi con discrezione, garbo esprimendo la propria personalità in maniera discreta. I miei preferiti? Gli spezzati con le giacche grigio intrecciate con il nero o spigate o pied de poule. gilet azzurro o blu, anche grigio perla e pantaloni blu o grigio medio.

[@damonqu6651]

This man is elegant. The same clothing worn by the guy from Gentleman's Gazette would look "trying too hard" to me.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Damon, the clothing you're talking about is the simplest you can imagine : a blue suit and a white shirt with a club tie. I don't think this outfit can look "trying too hard" on anyone. Thank you anyway for the compliment. Hugo

[@adrienmarchetti1303]

Amen.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Merci Adrien. Hugo

My experience tells me to be true to myself, to buy clothes that I feel emotionally comfortable wearing. Whenever I've stepped outside of that mindset, I've not worn those clothes for very long. My wardrobe may not be the highest fashion or the best brands, but it's all in good taste and I like wearing these clothes. In fact, the cut of the new suits I see in ads just seem too tight and too small so I could never follow that trend. I'll just be a bit old fashioned but happy and comfortable 'in my own skin'.
