Jacomet is a true thinker because he gives us actual first principles to go on as well as history. This is so much more edifying than merely listing rules, because it shows us how the rules come about and moreover enriches our sartorial education. He covers every subject comprehensively as we see here.

I told him about this KZbin channel while we were doing the last fitting and handover of the final suit, and he showed me both of your books, the Italian and also the Parisian gentleman 🙂. The suit is made of grey flannel, for the winter. Time to wear it these days!

I really like the slanted pockets on your jacket a lot. They seem to make the DB jacket a little more modernized and not too stuffy. I wish more suit jackets had them to be honest; they help flatter the wearer by accentuating the waist suppression of the jacket and draw the viewers eye up more cleanly. I imagine they are more practical and easy to access as well since the pocket line is perpendicular to your hands if you were to go and use them. I have slanted pockets on my wool coats for this reason.

@SARTORIALTALKS 6 жыл бұрын
Thank you my friend for your very precise and insightful comment. I also like slanted pockets for many of the reasons you are explaining. However, I prefer straight pocket on 6X1 more casual Italian suits (like linen suits for example). But it's just a matter of taste. Cheers, Hugo

I thought I'd also mention that Daniel Radcliffe isn't just 5'7" but is infact 5'5! Many people say that short men can't wear double breasted suits and he clearly proves them wrong. I believe Edward Sexton who is a master tailor is a very short man also and wears double breasted suits a lot but still looks incredible.

Good evening. I duplicate the answer I made to Wan (above) who had the same question : a 6 on 3 is a rather rare thing to be seen these days except on navy uniforms. It is an older style of DB that was popular a long time ago in the Edwardian Era. It is most commonly seen on overcoats and pea coats because the high buttoning keeps you warm. It can look unflattering on shorter or heavier men because it buttons very high on the chest and can look blocky. But if you like the military feeling (like I actually do), it is an option to consider for sure. Cheers, Hugo

It just 'nips' in tight around my torso. Its the '6 and 2' configuration - peaked lapel. Working with a budget whilst aiming for Sartorial Aspirations can be challenging; but I'm determined to achieve as elegant a look as possible. I particularly was heartened to hear you say don't let anyone say you can't wear something! Thanks/Merci Tony

It might be useful to add that the Duke of Kent also influenced the DB suit by preferring the 6 on 1 in the 1930's. It exposes more shirt/tie creating a longer silhouette thus more flattering to less tall men or a slimming effect for those in need. I have never stopped wearing DBs for the sake of following a fashion 'tendance' at any one time, as it has been said fashion comes and goes but style remains!' Merci, Hugo.

You are absolutely right. The Duke of Kent (who mysteriously died in a military plane crash in 1942) was an elegant gentleman (in my opinion more discreet and understated, sartorially speaking, than his infamous brother the Duke of Windsor). And he popularised the 6 on 1 double breasted suit. Thanks for reminding us of this lesser known figure of the British Royal family. Hugo

Thanks for the information on the double-breasted suit. I love the look. I'm under 5'2", and I just can't do the 4X1. It doesn't look right to me. How can a 6X2 be made to work for a smaller man? Button distance, button size, something else? What is the best place to ask another jacket/coat question? I have a question regarding hunting/hacking jackets, and I don't want it to get lost in the shuffle here. Thank you.

Daniel, if the 4X1 does not work for you, I would then try rather en 6X1 than a 6X2, because the 6X1 creates a long roll on the lapel that elongate the silhouette. And make sure the jacket is not too long (it should be cut a little shorter for you in order to elongate the visual of your legs). It's all a matter of proportions. For your other question send a mail to hugo@parisiangentleman.fr or post it in the feed of Sonya's episode dedicated to Jackets on this channel. Cheers, Hugo

Great vid - always informative. For double-breasted suit jackets, how should vents be considered? No vents seem old fashioned, but I'm curious to hear if you think it can still be styled in a modern context.

I prefer 6 on 3 style, similar to one used by US Navy service dress blue suit. Maybe because it looks and feels "powerful" than other styles. What's your opinion Hugo?
@SARTORIALTALKS
@SARTORIALTALKS 6 жыл бұрын
Good evening, a 6 on 3 is a rather rare thing to be seen these days except on navy uniforms. It is an older style of DB that was popular a long time ago in the Edwardian Era. It is most commonly seen on overcoats and pea coats because the high buttoning keeps you warm. It can look unflattering on shorter or heavier men because it buttons very high on the chest and can look blocky. But if you like the military feeling (like I actually do), it is an option to consider for sure. Cheers, Hugo

As someone who is on the heavier side I genuinely appreciate Hugo's refined and inclusive sensitivity regarding proper fit and drape on more robust builds. For many years I chose not to wear more professional attire because I always felt judge by the salesperson constantly lamenting that they could not find something that would fit me. These experiences truly painted a picture of exclusion and body shaming that I only came to terms with once I learned of garment features such as pleats, and high rises. Yes, I have heard all of the talking points that I could simply eat healthier and exercise more frequently. Alas, I have tried both and rarely do I see long-lasting results. Now, I have managed to finally assemble a modest but uplifting wardrobe I am proud to wear at the office knowing that my clothes fit comfortably. Scholars such as Hugo elevate the field in all the best ways not exclusively through his wealth of knowledge and experience but through inclusive language acknowledging and encouraging alternative solutions for those of us who are unable to find well fitting clothes right off the rack. Thank you for such an amazing corpus!

Hugo, a question for you: I have been wearing single breasted peak lapels for about 20 years. (un) fortunately, this style has become very popular in past few years. Now I am "on trend", after 2 decades, Iol. need to get some new suits made, and I am concerned that if I get more of these now, this style will seem like a bad cliche in a few years time. The same way that double-breasted circa 2000 seemed like a bad idea from the 80's. I am a shorter guy, with broad shoulders, and the peak lapels make me look good. My bespoke suits last 15+ years...so I am making a large investment which, should still look classic 20 years from now. What do you suggest? Notch lapel, or peak for next suits?
