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! And above all watch Sartorial talks religiously :D Also I bet u could find bespoke tailor services that ppl in richer markets pay many times more ;)

Great as always! I read that the tie knot depends of the tie fabric and collar shape. So it is always handy to know at least 2, 3 tie knots. But hey, let's make everyday a special occasion!!! keep the beautiful education flowing to us the beginners in this amazing lifestyle.

I couldn't say this more clearly. Thank you Andrea! Hugo

[@adrielrowley]

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!

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.

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.

[@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.

[@tonydeltablues]

I've been tying the 'double four in hand' knot without knowing it is a genuine knot. I'm not so tall (5' 10'') and I find it suit me; and, I can play with the dimple and asymmetry too! Enjoying your 'tie a tie' series. I hope there will be more :-) Merci/grazie/thank you Tony

People/Men don't realize first impressions are the most important. Your tie is at eye level or just below and the first thing a person sees. Then your shoes. So I always wear a great looking tie (color is huge for me then texture) in a double fore in hand knot and collar bar if I want to impress.

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.

Great as always.

Thanks Andreas! Hugo

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. If my shirt collar is too wide I may do a half Windsor but typically I find a way for the Prince Albert work. Lol

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I like the Prince Albert too actually, but not as much as my good ol'Bertie. Hugo

What I like the most in your videos Mr. Jacomet, is the reflection of your personality and approach in life. By the way, I also like a lot the videos of your wife. These videos give a nice and interesting perspective to mens topics from a lady's perspective. Personally, I prefer wool and cashmere ties (not that I do not admire and wear nice silk ties). I did not know about Petronius but for sure I will have a look at it in my next visit in Milan.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Yes Petronius is a great brand. I don't know where you can find their products in shops in Milan though as I only know their showroom (not open to the public). Maybe drop them an email (and drop my name). They will answer you. Cheers, Hugo

Merci Hugo pour ces infos et surtout pour les conseils à savoir comment bien faire les noeuds. Mon intention est d’ailleurs de commencer à porter davantage de cravates cet automne 👌👔🔥

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Excellente idée cher Richard ! Mes amitiés, Hugo

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

Hugo, you are the best.

[@nickmagma7745]

please speak on this for hours and hours, very interesting stuff

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Haha are you sure Nick ? Hugo

[@nickmagma7745]

@@SARTORIALTALKS Yes Hugo! (Not being sarcastic) I've watched these two parts like 10 times and would really like to know all the details. Guess that's why I like your content this much. Cheers Nick

[@pixelmech]

The Bertie is very much like the NIcky knot, which I like to use. The Nicky is tied backward, but other than that, it seems the same. I love the assymetrical look :)

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I agree, those two knots are very close to each other. Best! Hugo

[@brookeggleston9314]

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!!✨🌹
