Beautiful collection. I am envious but in a positive way. You realy have to have a bit of that positive envy in order to make your life more beautiful and elegant. It is called looking up to someone and me and a lot of people look up to Soniya and Hugo. Thank you for that!

I have been watching your channel for a few weeks now. I was having difficulty at work. I felt like people were disrespecting me because of the clothes I was wearing. So I decided to make a change and fallow some of your style guidelines. And after just a week and a half I was given an award for the first time ever in seven years of working at the same place. I just wanted to tell you and thank you!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

This is a wonderful message that we take to heart. Thank you for setting aside the time to write and let us know your personal experience. Cheers! Hugo

[@aleimmicio]

It is literally a shame that a channel like yours has only 81300 subscribers. Look at this video quality..the editing the quality of the lighting and the camera angles ..of the image. I am still flabergasted each time I watch your videos you have literally opened a new world for me. you are such a pleasure to listen to, you have such a huge culture on the sartorial topic and you always are so humble gentle and elegant. It is such a shame this video only has 44000 views. I don't know if there is something in the youtube algoritm not showing views but anyway that tells a lot about the state of our culture and the decadent age we live in. God bless you Hugo and thanks for what you are doing.

[@Ikari777]

Hugo, thank you for another wonderful look into your personal wardrobe. I understand it is a very personal and intimate thing, as it is your life and your preferences in menswear. I truly think you're videos are the best out there in the menswear world. The stories and your own thoughts are a wonderful connection to give to your audience! Have a wonderful day Hugo and say hello to Sonya! -Chris Browning

After seeing your suits with broad peak lapels, it's almost impossible for me to go back to the skinny notch lapels you usually see. As a medical student it's hard to take out time for things that I'd like but I absolutely love your work and really appreciate that you've introduced me to a new universe of these underappreciated works of art.

KlaasDeKaasBaas Try eBay. The first Goodyear welted shoes I got was a pair of black chukka boots by Sanders and they cost me £65. They were freshly refurbished and resoled by Sanders so they look practically new. A new pair would have cost me over £200.

I would say goodyear welted fullgrain shoes, like Loake 1888 in the $300 range is well spent money. I would go with chuckas and boats, rubber sole brown.

The Gingko was my first pair of upscale shoes/boots as well. The same color as shown here except with canvas collar as opposed to suede. I purchased them around '97-ish in NYC. I've worn them through many New England winters and this year I will send them to be resoled. The condition of the uppers you say? Perfect patina because of annual Saphir moisturizer and chestnut cream from time to time. Hugo is 100% right when he notes they are "indestructible".

Never have I watched a more interesting Shoe video and on Men’s Shoes but this was so much more. 🤔 I was absolutely inspired to earn one or more these shoes or their brothers. As well inspired to have better shoes. I was able to get some understanding of refined upper tier quality Menswear Shoes I’ve no knowledge of and their styling. I’ve been introduced and a great video.

[@johnblack5427]

Rewatching this episode again, having enjoyed it so much the first time. So nice to notice the readjustment of Hugo's pocket square part way through. Having just started to venture out in a jacket with square, I found myself quite paranoid about it slipping back into my pocket, and constantly wanting to pull it back out!

[@ssssssscrow]

As an Englishman living in France , I’m always pleased when one of your countrymen comments,favourably on the shoes I’m wearing. I was born in Kettering, and had family in the shoe industry so was brought up to appreciate good footwear. Just like yourself, I bought my first decent pair of r t w shoes in the late 80s.I too opted for the Church’s tan Grafton Bookbinder brogue on the 73 last.In my eyes the most beautiful shoe ,which also ages gracefully. As a footnote ( no pun intended) I was very disappointed when Church’s was bought out by a fashion house and to cut costs now only produces the Grafton on the 100 last !

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Shaun, thank you so much for your contribution. Oddly enough, when I was a teenager my school had an exchange agreement with Kettering... So the first trip of my life outside France was in Kettering when I was 14 years old! I also visited the magnificent factory of Gaziano & Girling in this town a few years ago. I agree with you concerning Church's. Prada buying Church's seemed so bizarre, almost counter natural... Cheers, Hugo

Dear Hugo, as a 50 yrs old lady, I have found so much pleasure in watching your videos, I've just found you at 4.30am in the UK as I listen to the rain against the window and I need to get up at 6am for work. I love your elegant style and find there is so much elegance in a man wearing a beautifully cut suit and beautiful Brogues. I have previously bought mens shoes for myself in a size 6 (40) and I love them. However, I shall now search for some bespoke Brogues to wear. Much love and kind wishes.. Thank you, I have found inspiration today. Julie x

Hugo, the color balance between your suit coat, shirt and tie are superb. The combination is both elegant and refined. They stand-out without calling so much attention that they scream "look at me". Sprezzatura! It would be great if you did a video on other combinations in your wardrobe and how you achieve such a perfect balance.

[@valisechi2492]

I really enjoy watching your episodes, I always save them for Saturday afternoon and relax watching them with a hot coffee and a cigar. I thought I was the only one obsessed about not damaging the soles 😄. What I do is always take new shoes to a cobbler and add thin vibram inserts on the sole. Not a very elegant solution but to my eyes neither is a scuffed and damaged leather sole. Plus I never have to resole them at usually big costs, when the insert gets damaged I simply replace it

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

That's indeed an excellent solution Vali. Very efficient. Cheers, Hugo

Love that “licking the window “ I have done that when looking at a rock and roll display of 1960’s drums, guitars and amps. I must have been 6 years old! Very impressive shoe collection can’t wait to see the next part. About 2-3 years ago I started my journey learning about classic men’s style. I first heard about over the calf -thin socks. They were from a company called Fort Belvedere and were about $40 which was 10 times what I was used to spending. Took a while to step up on the socks. Please show us what you favorite socks are,

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Fort Belvedere is the brand of Gentleman's Gazette. My favorite sock's brand is Bresciani in Italy. They are distributed by Mes Chaussettes Rouges (www.meschaussettesrouges.com/en/). Cheers, Hugo

4 years late to the party but let me say your passion came through gloriously in this episode. Your Berluti story was quite profound. And you are right once bitten by the bugs it's hard to recover. I started with Barker 10 years ago and journey has been gradually progressing moving on from Church's to Crockett & Jones to Edward Green and now onwards to Gaziano & Girling and Stefano Bemer . Aubercy, Corthay and Berluti are calling next :D

So the low (far) wing tip of the shoe has elongating effect similar to low vamp in ladies shoe? Chic, discreet but at the same time with strong personality - it resonates strongly with my style goals.

[@barnabasjuhasz]

What shoe styles and brands would you recommend for casual wear, going to the beach, on weekends, etc.? I have been considering a slipper style such as the loafer, or boat shoes, though from what I’ve seen boat shoes seem a little gimmicky. I recently spent three weeks in Italy and slipper style shoes are very popular there. In fact, I bought my first pair of casual leather shoes while in Florence, and ever since I have become quite interested in quality, stylish clothing. Your videos have most definitely helped me understand the technicalities of the world of men’s fashion and inspired me to research which styles I am fond of. On a side note, are there any good shoe and suit manufacturers that you know of based out of Australia? Most I have seen are based out of Europe and shipping costs are often very high.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Barnabas, Australia is indeed quite far and the local production is not very developed (to say the least). For casual style I would recommend "Belgian Loafers", very casual but chic at the same time. Companies like Velasca (shoes) or Spier & Mackay (affordable ready-to-wear suits and jackets) do ship to Australia. Best, Hugo

[@barnabasjuhasz]

SARTORIAL TALKS Thank you for your reply! I have just realised that I wrote Oxford in my original comment as opposed to Loafer. As for the Belgian Loafers you have recommended, they are a style that I have not seen before and I really appreciate the clean lines. I will definitely take a look at them in more detail. Thank you greatly for your manufacturer recommendations as well. You mentioned Spier and Mackay in your value suit brand video, and I have had a positive impression from their website, and I will research Velasca more. I wish you all the best. - Barnabas

[@asherarnold5884]

I got a good made to measure suit from Oliver Wicks. They do pleats. Affordable is a relative term though. I have also found good deals on second hand suits on ebay. If you know your measurements and have a good tailor, that can be a good way to get a quality well fitting suit affordably. It takes some investment of time though. Make sure the jacket shoulders fit and its the correct length of jacket. Trousers can be taken in or let out a bit and the legs shortened. Good luck.

Very nice collection, I’d have liked to have seen you hold them and show them off though rather than just a quick picture but I suppose I should be grateful of you sharing them anyways!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Dear Ryan, I would have loved to do this of course. But our production team is in the USA and my shoe collection is in France... Can you imagine the price of the additional luggage !! Cheers, Hugo

[@ShalomBrother]

SARTORIAL TALKS that explains it then, thanks for the reply!

The shoe maketh the man! I'm not sure anybody famous has ever said that, but someone should have! I have the same "love" for shoes! Competition for my wife!!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Simon, I believe many women agree that the shoes make the men for sure. Best, Hugo

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Hi Mr.Jacomet would be interested to know your opinion on Men's Louboutin 's RTW dress shoe line. Regards

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Way overpriced and tacky for my personal taste. Marketing brainwashing my friend. You can get so much better for half of the price. Hugo

Hi Sonya. Could you explain the different between goodyear welted and hand welted. Thanks

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Hi, A hand welted shoe indeed is often "Goodyear welted" -- done entirely by hand. Many shoe lovers crave hand welted shoes. More commonly, Goodyear welting is done with a bench made machine (some of these machines are considered antiques because they continue to work well). So, we are talking about Goodyear welting either done by hand or machine. Cheers, Sonya

3:57 I exactly understand I still have shoes that I only wore indoors just not to damage the sole 😂😂. If it is raining or going to rain only certain shoes are the ones to wear.

I love listening to stories like this; told by someone who has already walked the journey....I am still young; but was fortunate to purchase my first pair of Cheaney shoes (UK)...and oh my...have they set a new bar for me!
