All about City Trousers: A Talk with Julien Scavini

[@heldaneurbanus5135]

Can I just say how much I appreciate Julien making an effort to speak in English for us non Francophone. It takes some courage to sit in front of a camera and be recorded speaking a foreign tongue. Bravo! I learned a lot. Merci!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

No doubt Julien will appreciate your comment. Cheers from Bourgogne, Hugo

[@TuneinR]

I am from Cameroon where English and french are the two dominant languages so i have no issues understanding his English with french accent👍👍 A bad trouser has the potential to kill an outfit.Thanks for the video @Hugo.

You are very welcome my friend. Bonjour à mes amis du Cameroun ! Hugo

[@sunhuizart3821]

I have been waiting for this video to be made for years! Everyone is talking about shoes and suits and hats and watches but nobody is talking about trousers! It's good to see them finally getting some love

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

A lot of love in this case! Cheers, Hugo

Julien's comment about having a wide range of trousers is spot on. Once I have selected my trouser for the day, it indeed forms the foundation of my outfit. Thank you Hugo for providing such quality content. You have provided supreme guidance as I aspire to build the wardrobe of a gentleman. No rigid rules, just suggestions that show one how to express his personal style. I really like that you stress both style and comfort.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you very much Douglas for your encouraging comment. All our best, Hugo

[@brianboyle2681]

Scavini is fantastic! I hope to be able to visit his shop one day in Paris. Trousers have been a bit forgotten about in the upper end of the ready to wear segment - especially a broader, classical style. His ‘one pleat’ trouser is a masterpiece in this regard.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Brian, I concur that. You can of course order online as he's also shipping worldwide. Cheers, Hugo

[@RamSkirata]

Wow... first off, thank you Julien for speaking English! You are well understandeable! And then I have to say, I visited your online shop and was positively surprised, not only by the styles, but by the prices as well! Certainly not cheap, but attainable! Thats something everyone in a "western" country can work towards and afford. Not "just like that", but it is fair and achievable! Thank you so much for that!

[@JKM1991]

Trouser with multiple pleats and attached with side adjusters are timelessness and classic one.

[@trueshadow77]

i went down a strange but good rabbithole and i clicked on this video, and immediately i can tell this dude is a trouser/fashion expert. love it

[@corisco93]

What a great and charming interview. As somebody who loves classic style I always feel we do not talk enough trousers.I think Scavini will have a new customer in me very shortly.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

[@1337eddie]

I undertstood Mr. Scavini perfectly. Please tell him we extend our appreciation to him for making this effort for the audience. Chapeau!

[@TheEldarGuy]

For a very minimal investment (and clothes are an investment) nice trousers, whether chinos or tailored blended material, plus a fitted shirt, makes all the difference to the wearer. Outwardly, the style looks effortless and very personable. Mr Jacomet is correct when he says this is the first step in the sartorial journey. Another great Sartorial Talks. Thank you very much. I direct all customers to your channel. Stay safe.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Many thanks David for your kind words. All my best, Hugo

[@user-go2pt9mi6j]

Definitely visiting Scavini in Paris and grabbing a couple of pair

[@briang530]

"understand the rules/principals", "Wear what you're comfortable with" and "trust you're eyes" these are M. Jacomet's greatest gift to the world! I'm blessed by being reasonably thin and with a flat stomach so I can wear all kinds of fronts, every sort of pleat and every sort of rise. I'd highly recommend experimenting with a types. The only caveat being that a double pleat must be a reverse or inward pleat for me.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Brian for your encouraging words! Cheers, Hugo

[@bronovalter391]

Even though I mostly buy a thrift stores and charity shops, I found this video very useful in outlining the various styles and level of formality for different trousers. Lately I have also been interested in wearing the waist higher, and there was lots of good advice about this. Keep up the good work!

[@SuperBarnab]

[@comicog3]

Came to hear all about trousers. Stayed to listen to French men trying to parse through American terminology. Loved this

[@jubayerrashidtalukder5928]

Hello Mr Hugo, if I may, I can tell you that the term 'Khaki' has its origins from the occupation of the British empire in India, Now Bangladesh and Pakistan. The British officers wore a uniform of that beige/off-white color similar to a very pale brown. This very color was called 'Khaki' in the Hindi. The Gurkha pants come from the Gurkha Regiment from Nepal and Bhutan, which was later adopted by the British army officers. The Gurkha pants have their origins from the Jodhpur pants which was a creation of the 'Rajputs' of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The Rajputs were inspired by the British tailored pants and converted their 'Churidar' pants to the Jodhpur pants for ease of horse riding. The Churidar was a mix of the creation of Mughuls and Rajputs, unfortunately that is a subject of debate among them Hope you find it helpful. Cheers from Bangladesh.

[@jubayerrashidtalukder5928]

I forget to add, the Khaki is also the color of the uniform of the Indian Police in all states of India till today, except for the state of Kolkata. Colloquially the police in India are called 'Khaki' steming from the color of their uniform. You may search for images of the uniform of the Mumbai(Bombay) Police. 🥂

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Of course it helps a lot. Many thanks my friend, Cheers to you, Hugo

[@omarrr35]

The name for the color "khaki" comes from Urdu, derived from Persian, for the word for dusty.

[@JohnDoe-yd7zm]

Fabulous video, merci beaucoup! What a wonderful guest. Here's a fun video idea: "How To Match Your Sport Coats and Trousers" -- the Internet forums are full of drama and fighting about how to match certain colors, e.g. "Which sport coat looks good with navy trousers?" Some "internet gurus" claim that Navy trousers cannot be matched with any jacket, and that navy trousers by themselves are destined to look like orphans without a matching suit jacket... I think it's time for Sartorial Talks to crash that party :D

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

I really like this idea. Thanks for your reply. Cheers ! Hugo

I like the idea of side adjusters but when I had them on a MTM suit trousers I didn’t enjoy them as much as I thought I would. Braces are just much more attractive for getting a nice drape to trousers. I rarely wear a belt anymore

[@jeffhreid]

One feature of trousers that I like that you don’t see that often is a lining in trousers. It facilitates putting them on and off as well as preventing bunching and binding. It undoubtedly add cost but I always liked it

[@ardentdfender4116]

🤔 I really enjoyed this because I always get to learn from people that really know fashion from the inside. One of my biggest take away was that as a man how important it is to have enough or lots of Trousers in your wardrobe for options of wear. Whether to match a certain look or fabric style they all adds to great options. When I heard your guess mention this I smiled. Because for me I have Lots of Dress Trousers and often I find myself staring at what Trouser to wear, then I get a shirt and rest to go with it.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

😂😂 i can also relate to this my friend. All my best, Hugo

[@raphthecollector3824]

Wonderful episode! Trousers are what got me really thinking about dressing up well. I'm quite short so when I had a pair of custom-made high-waisted trousers, that was the first time I felt like I looked quite good ha! By the way, Gurkhas are gaining a foothold in Asia too from what I can tell. Yeossal has Gurkhas. And, I had my tailor friend make me a pair of Gurkha jeans last month which is my favorite casual pair as of the moment.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks Raph. And you are right, Yeossal's Gurkhas are splendid. Cheers, Hugo

[@nextfitness22]

[@matin605]

Yes Matt he does at Scavini.fr

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Beautiful Gurkahs indeed!

[@JWC124]

Another wonderful episode, Hugo! I’m also a little on the larger side, especially in my thighs and buttock. So while my waist fits a size 42 trouser, I always have to go up to a 44 to accommodate my legs. I have found that I prefer pleated pants because it tends to camouflage my large legs a little better. My favorite pair have side adjusters and I wear them with braces. I also prefer trousers with turn-ups because the extra weight seems to keep the material straighter. Thank you for your amazing content!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you Joe for your contribution. Cheers, Hugo

[@jeffhreid]

I have the same situation. Another thing that you might want to look for are trousers with a high rise, with thicker legs the high rise can lengthen the silhouette

[@glynphillips3362]

Hi Hugo and Julien! Loved this episode - trousers are so overlooked and yet they are the work-horses of a man's outfit. And, yes, middle-age 'beer belly' comes to all of us eventually, even if we were always slim! If I had money I would definitely get myself a pair of the S4s (love those side adjusters) or the Gurkahs (so stylish!). One small point to Julien - in English we pronounce Gurkha to rhyme with the pronoun "her", not as 'gorka'. Can I also say I loved your striped shirt (Hugo), especially the colour (and the colour of your trousers too) - and also how the delicate blue colour of Julien's pocket square complimented his understated brown jacket. I love these talks you do with people in the sartorial world (the one on socks was fascinating!), Please thank Julien for speaking English for us (yes, his accent his strong, but it was very charming and quite understandable). Best wishes from England.

[@canadafree2087]

Great video. In North America we see Chino pants as being more formal than a Khaki pants, but lower cost companies don't always label things well. Any fine wool pants I'd call a "dress pant", more for the office which is to say more formal than a chino. I say fine wool because I have heavy outdoor wool pants. My understanding is that chino was Spanish for China and from the cotton grown there, while Khaki has more of a connection to India and first meaning a color, but now a style. A chino should have a vertical (or up and down) front pocket while a Khaki is a diagonal (or slanted) front pocket. I have a problem understanding flannel compared to wool pants...is flannel a more fluffed up surface than say a wool suit pant with a smooth surface. Again, in North America flannel is sometimes used to mean a plaid/checkered outdoor style shirt even if it is made of cotton, so that doesn't help my understanding as it comes to pants.

[@luccopanner9049]

The work Khaki comes from Urdu meaning "sand colored". It came into fashion from the desert camouflage uniforms of the Indian military. In the US today it can mean both a color and a type of pants.

[@arthurford829]

Excellent discussion and quite a tutorial. Julien is really on to something in keeping the variety of cuts season to season while changing the fabrics. This, imho, is how you build a clientele.

Hi Hugo. Thanks for your content. I identify with your comments at the end. I would like to be able to dress well without causing others to feel awkward. I think perhaps when people sense you are comfortable in your own skin/clothing then they are put at ease also. Style is when the feathers match the bird, or when the clothes fit the man. My struggle is knowing what sort of man I am! P.s. What brand is that shirt? It suits you.

It's bespoke my friend, so each of them have their own style. But personally, I like them mid-rise (that I call "natural waist" for me) with no belt loops. I always ask for both side adjusters and buttons for the suspenders. Generally I favour flat front, but I also have pleats, especially on my striped "gangster" suits. Cheers, Hugo

With that summer wool weave, very difficult to pass on making a passing wind joke. :-]
