A Conversation with Alessandro Sartori (1/2)

[@Wm.Lidgett]

it is so nice to see a person interviewing someone and not having the interviewer continually interject.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks William! Alessandro is a very interesting and educated gentleman. So why interrupt him ? Cheers, Hugo

[@TheEldarGuy]

The Ermenegildo Zegna cloth is exquisite. The best Australian wool turned into a premium Italian cloth. Love everyone's work here, Mr. Jacomet, I appreciate your effort and the initial dedication by Mr. Sartori is how we all feel; and thank you Mr Sartori for your work and effort. Thank you gentlemen.

[@waiyanaung2449]

such a classy man. my favorite thing about u is that u don't seem to have an ounce of pretentiousness in you, which is hard to come by in the clothing industry. also great job on the interview letting the man speak without interruptions. superb work as always with everything you provide us. we are truly grateful

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you so much Wai for your kind words and appreciation. Cheers, Hugo

[@danielday7033]

If I could afford to look half as dashing as Hugo and the rest of the fine gentleman in this video. It is a beautiful thing to watch, and even better lessons learned. I am such a novice ...

[@thejudgeholden]

I am very glad these videos exist. Thank you.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

We are very glad you like them ! Hugo

[@giorgiolupinacci7301]

Thank you for sparking my desire for returning to all things proper and alluring with fashion, being a model years ago I forgot the importance of quality, craftsmanship and style..thank you Sir.

[@secondchancesminnewashta7612]

A creative genius and seems like a kind and humble man. Huge loss for Berluti and a huge gain for bring him back to Zegna!

[@hugojacomet428]

Good morning, yes Alessandro is a very agreeable gentleman as well as a very talented (and passionate) professional. Warm regards, Hugo

Thank you Hermann. Hugo

[@interqward1]

I have some beautiful pieces by Zegna - one of which, I dare not even say how old it is... People think it's new.

[@hugojacomet428]

Thanks John ! Hugo

I know, id charish anything from these masters.

[@monicagambino318]

You look amazing. I love your hair.

[@luxurreview]

You have great insight into style! Channels like yours are encouraging me to make a big change. Thank you

[@uncommonplaces]

love this talk. please post more. Hugo, I would suggest that in order to break up the long periods of talking heads please add more b roll (cutaways to what the interviewee is discussing). Keep up the good work.

[@hugojacomet428]

Thanks for your appreciation. Concerning the use of b-rolls, there are two different schools of thought : one, mine, which consists of using b-roll sparingly in order to make the effort to produce interesting talks (a good talk should suffice to itself), and the second school (more american), which consists of using a maximum of b-roll in order to keep the attention of the viewer constantly stimulated. Maybe the ideal format is in between. All the best, Hugo

[@stephanebelizaire3627]

Very Good Online documentary, I consider the Serie as such. Bravo ! :)

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Stephane ! Hugo

[@JS-pe9po]

I love Hugo's website and these videos. I learn very much from him.

[@hugojacomet428]

Glad to hear that. And happy to be useful. Hugo

[@deoostbespoketailoring]

Interesting facets of our trade and art we don't see discussed often. I see some matters different but that is the power of this channel, it's a community of sharing ideas and learning form each other. Do hit that Patreon gentlemen. Salut Hugo.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Salut Jean-Paul! Hugo

[@NexuJin]

I never heard of or knew about Techmerino, but I'll be sure now wanting to know more about it and wear it!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

It's a great innovation indeed! Hugo

[@HamletNOR]

Hugo, I just stumbled over your channel and I must say this is a real treat! Fantastic quality of the content here, a lot of new (to me at least) knowledge being shared and very charmingly hosted as well. Bravo! Subscribed!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Merci beaucoup! Yours, Hugo

[@hsmafro]

This material is beyond good

[@showmethewater2160]

Sorry to pause the video, I waited to watch this one. Didn't think it would be entertaining enough, my ignorance made me think it was going to be slow and stuffy. I'm enjoying, and Hugo, very nice suit ensemble, one of my favorites I've seen you wear, slightly conservative, but with style, back to the video, pardon the interruption

[@TheEnd-jt1db]

I can not stop looking at your suit, shirt, tie and handkerchief color combination, I find it very good looking, beautiful. I hope i am not being weird, but looking at them relaxes my eyes and makes me feel good :) Thank you.

[@Antroz59Mc]

You are fantastic! Your videos are perfect and your knowledge of the subject is unreal! We have so much to learn from you and I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering Mr. Jacomet, what kind of tie knot do you use? Looks bigger than a four in half, smaller than a pratt and not a Victorian. Thank you for your awesome work, Maxime

[@hugojacomet428]

Thank you Maxime for your kind words (Maxime was the name of my late grand-father who was a cobbler). The only knot I use is called "The Old Bertie". It's a kind of half-windsor. You can see it here : parisiangentleman.fr/academy/le-noeud-de-cravate-ideal/

[@federanger]

im new to your channel and i got to say that its at the top of the food chain. J'espère que vous continuez à libérer du contenu, parce que c'est vraiment unique en son genre. Salutations du Mexique (a pour pratiquer mon français).

[@hugojacomet428]

Thank you fro your kind words and for your appreciation. Salutations cordiales de France. Hugo

[@gomanacafe2155]

THANK YOU PRINCE .NICE VEDIO.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Well Prince is a little bit overstated maybe ? But thank you though, you're kind. Hugo

[@sirrhodes5157]

Sir Hugo thank you for the knowledge that you keep on giving to us.I am an aspiring image consultant. I wanted to know how one can attend Pitti Oumo because i tried to buy the ticket through the Pitti app but i didnt manage to?Thank you.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Sir, it's impossible to access Pitti if you are not either from the Media (with a media business card) or from the Industry. Try to find a journal or a magazine in your country for whom you'll cover the event. Cheers, Hugo

[@andreatanzi3191]

To me Zegna was always the embodiment of true Italian Style. The quality and wearing-feeling is unique, sometimes unachievable for my pocket. Though still an aspiration ...

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Andrea. Best, Hugo

[@wikkifoo640]

Great video mr.hugo... kindly interview Japanese shoemakers like Hiro and yohei ... Thanks.

[@hugojacomet428]

Dear Wikki, why not ! But we need to find an opportunity to plan it in our busy planning ! Cheers, Hugo

[@wikkifoo640]

Hugo Jacomet ... Keep doing it. Good luck.

[@hugojacomet428]

Thank you very much. Yours, Hugo

That suit Monsieur Jacomet 👏👏👏👏👏

[@riccardomazzocato7745]

Alessandro Sartori. Typical surname of the tailors during the Serenissima Repubblic of Venice. Sartori

[@gabmano4877]

Someone in Prato(a city near Florence) would argue with the statement that Biella is the Italian capital of fabric.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Good afternoon, it's difficult to contest the fact that Biella is the place where the biggest concentration of mills is located : Vitale Barberis, Zegna, Piacenza, Cerruti, Carlo Barbera etc, etc... A beautiful region by the way. Cheers, Hugo

[@prashantgupta9538]

Hi Hugo greetings from India you have an awsome channel !! am a bit confused about Zegna shoes ..

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Greetings from Bourgogne ! I also need to update knowledge regarding Zegna shoes. Cheers ! Hugo

[@paulcheung7552]

Hi Hugo, may I say your videos are very educational and interesting. I was interested in purchasing your books. Would it be possible to buy from you and would you do signing?

[@chrisguevara]

Me likes, I very good discussion about fashion, style, business, technology, and the men's wear industry in general.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Christian. Hugo

[@chachicharms]

IM poor as hell but i have learned so much from these videos.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I'm happy to read that you've learned a thing or two from our series. And between you and me, if you want to dress well and to take the sartorial path then it's more about education than money. Be well, Hugo

[@thesentinel7310]

Man I wish he was my uncle or older brother.

[@wasabista1613]

Fascinating interview, Mr. Jacomet! I've been wearing Zegna ties for a long time, I could never afford a Zegna suit as a young man but I'd splash out on the neckties :-) May I ask you about the material of the suit you are wearing in this video? It looks fantastic.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Wasa, my suit is a Cifonelli Paris bespoke suit from 2007 in Super 110s wool. Best, Hugo

[@monofuse]

Very cool, now I have to start saving some money 😉

[@hugojacomet428]

Thank you Bernd. It's a good idea ! Hugo

[@kohort1]

Wait, but if you alter the molecular structure of the wool, does it compromise any of the natural benefits of wool? ie, ability to keep one dry and warm and resist smells? I suppose it doesn't matter as much for a suit, but it's certainly had a comeback in outdoor sportswear.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Good question. I'm not sure we speak on a molecular level. What I know is that this new technical fabrics are the future. Some traditional mills have recently managed for example to produce stretch fabric without using any synthetic material. Just wool. Cheers, Hugo

[@samadrid6321]

I enjoy the classic styles. It is a bit difficult to keep up with current fashions, hard on the pocketbook. However, if I could afford I would like to buy a nice pair of Lobb shoes, for example. They are very high price, classic designs, classic handmade, durable and long lasting. I also enjoy watches, and I stay away from the current, flashy models. I do go for sporty watches such as a Daytona. It looks good with just about everything these days.

[@hugojacomet428]

Hugo, while I have your attention sir may I ask a question? I have a beautiful Burberry blue pin stripped suit, 3 button......However, I feel this is out of style now and I am reluctant to wear it! your thoughts? @@SARTORIALTALKS

[@MrLapolapis]

Pecora & Sartori = Sheep & Tailors

[@tailornyc212]

Nice video but I'm totally sure the tailor shop owners doesn't know to saw a button, the italian senior is the real tailor is working we can see is skill. Next time make a video with cifonelli or other tailor making a suit from cero. This is a dying art, new generation won't be a tailor is not easy to be.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Yes, the problem is Made to Measure services are claiming to be bespoke, which is a lie. A bespoke atelier will have the name of the master tailor on the door and will craft jackets on the premises. In this case, the bespoke atelier at Zenga is full of tailors who know how to sew on buttons. Cheers, Hugo
