Another great interview form Hugo and Sonya. I really agree with the idea that many people become walking advertising boards and slavishly wear big brand names or labels emblazoned across the their clothes and accessories; and that the sartorially savvy will do the exact opposite, and the label containing any information is buried in the breast inside pocket. I thrift and search for vintage clothes and can not get more excited with I have to search for a tailor or makers label deep inside the jacket as I know it is possibly a well-made suit jacket, made with quality fabric......If it can be adjusted by a tailor to fit me, I'm buying it! Thank you/Merci to both of you. Tony

Finding this channel and the commentary of Sonia and Hugo is simply wonderful!!! Not only are the facts very refreshing yet rewarding to someone like me. It is wonderful to hear (today) someone speak about what..." bespoke actually is"...today (in the modern age) as my Mother and Grandmother did about all bespoke craftwork they did...including within the Sartorial arts. They were stylest and creator in one for any client that found them... Because of our family influences on me, I still tailor and/or make all my own clothing, some of which is over 100 years old and still functionally useful. Every point made in this video was drummed into me from childhood, though my clothes are more of the folk traditions and of my Native American style, what suits I did have follows the descriptions that Hugo shared and Sonia so eloquently outlined. The Sartorial Arts and bespoke work across the guild crafts are coming back in a new (and wonderful way) with the current generation of many Artisan... If you could be so kind, I could not hear well the Frech term at 36:06 for seam allowance that Hugo shared. I would love to read more about that if I could have the proper spelling in French... Blessings for a great video, j

Fantastic video! And I'm incredibly happy that Hugo emphasized that 'fit is everything' with a suit. I completely agree. My three most recent suits are very inexpensive bought from a department store. At a 50% discount, range from $150 - $300. It is all I could afford when I got them. However, I'm in excellent shape and I know enough what to tell the person doing the alterations what I wanted. Nothing major. Just how much to taper the waist of the jacket. The length of the sleeves and pants. Minor shoulder changes. I got very lucky. The 'tailor' was really good and gave me some tips. Even the salesperson working that department was really good as I had a fitting issue. Double lucky. As cheap as the suits are, I've gotten tremendous compliments when I wear them. The fit. The drape. They punch above their weight. And I still have them. Visually, I just wish they had wider lapels. They have that trendy thinness to them. But for what I use them for, it's fine. I bought a Zegna back in the late 1990s before they became mega-corporation. So I know good suits. Super comfortable. Quality. The fit. The fabric divine. I'm slowly re-building my wardrobe and looking forward to that quality, fit and style again. Like having the tailor's label on the inside of the jacket's inside pocket, it's not about how much you spend. But when someone knows and appreciates a great and well made product, especially in clothes, there's just no going back. How it feels and in turn, makes you feel. It raises your game. Thank you for these great educational and inspirational programs!

My father gave me some of his Brioni wardrobe (and some Barberas too) when I entered Law School. I now use bespoke, but I definately agree that there are some outstanding brands doing suits-and certainly dont come cheap- that said, nothing comes close to working with someone face to face, choosing your fabric and talking about the styling.

Brilliant insights. And the inside of Hugo's jacket is beautiful! I see a lot of cheap jackets now that come with working cuff buttons. A sign of quality in ready to wear is a jacket that comes with a unfinished cuffs, and a jacket that comes with working cuff buttons is a poor sign. Pick stitching is on almost all bespoke English suits too, but they always do it in a way that it can hardly be seen. I've had to pull at the lapels to see it! To me, invisible pick stitching is the highest mark of quality.

A couple months ago I picked up my first 1930s Navy Burton Suit and I compared it to some of my bespoke suits. My first impression when I picked up my 30s suit is that I know it is industrially made and not a bespoke product but when I held it side by side with my bespoke suit I noticed that the stitch for the button holes on the 30s suit is thicker whereas my other suit is thinner. As it was my first 30s suit I never realized how heavy and broad the shoulders were. Like the padding felt good and high quality, even the fabric felt really nice despite being quite thick and heavy.

Just a little comment, I think the correct french term for "fabric allowance" is "relarge" and not "embu". Both are concerning extra fabric added at specifix spots of the garments. But contratywise to the "relarge" which is there to cope with extra pounds gained with "experience" as explained in this video, the "embu" is there to help the garment acquire a certain shape at very specific point. For example "embu" is added the back panel at the level of shoulder seam to help the garment climb over the shoulder blades. Another "famous" example is the "embu" added to the sleeve head wich combined with high armholes gives enables a wider range of mouvement.

Working buttons on a suit cuff are not necessarily an indicator of a hand made jacket. If for example you buy a sports Jacket from a Kiton boutique they will generally give you the option of working cuffs or fixed buttons. The jacket is hand made and the cuffs hand finished irrespective of the final detail. Some “factory” produced jackets have working cuffs. I think that this matter is over discussed really.

22:55 I love the idea of the hidden label. If you do an image search for "bespoke jacket" you see lots of jackets with a big label inside to tell everyone it's a bespoke jacket. I even saw one that had the tailor's website address embroidered inside for all to see! 40:28 I was surprised to see that there was no lining inside the jacket, just a sort of "skeleton" where you could see the canvas. Is that normal, or is it something you only find in certain jackets?

However, some extremely light fabrics (like tropical wool, less than 200gr) are too thin to be used without canvassing. Also deconstructed jackets are mainly sport jackets but rarely jackets for suits. Thus if you use suits, I advise you to use light fabrics (tropical wool, wool/linen/silk blends for example) of a weight around (or even just under) 200 gr, and canvassed only with chest pieces (to give the suit a minimum of structure). Hope it helps, Cheers, Hugo

Love the talks! But let's remember one thing...what happens when the suit comes off? Let's make sure to keep our bodies fit and healthy as well! I'd rather wear one healthy than one one dead.

So here I am. Wearing track suit pants I knocked off from somewhere and a tshirt I didn’t buy. Fitted underwear I definitely saw a lady about. ( underwear is not to be sneezed about) I’m really enjoying your dialogue.

Hugo and Sonya seem like nice enough people, and their efforts to try and get men to dress better deserve praise. But having watched 10 or 15 of their videos, I'm left with the feeling that his content is really geared to the top 1% or the French aristocracy. By the time you've taken their various recommendations into account, only the GDP of a small island country will get you to your destination. There are very few men who have enough money to dress like Hugo. Still, it's nice to dream.

Dear friend, we use high-end examples to explain the way suits are crafted. But our content addresses everyone, and certainly not only the super wealthy. It's like looking at a Ferrari, learning from it, while driving a normal car. All the best, Hugo

There is a famous Italian brand, apparently favoured by tech moguls and various celebrities that sells $4000 suits made from quite uninspiring fabrics with fused jacket interlinings. Another famous Italian textile manufacturer who sell their own clothing line at insanely high price points and most of their jackets have fused interlinings also. Beggars belief really.

If you have a guy buy a well fitted suit off the rack, 99% of these self appointed suit experts would not be able to tell apart the suits until they would start microscopically examining details up close. These days we have multiple brands that make mass produced fit to measure suits that make absolutist beliefs about Bespoke or nothing very questionable.

Dear sir, we never self appointed ourselves as suits experts (although after 3 best-sellers books maybe we should). But I have a question though: Why can't you write the same comment while being kind and respectful of the work of others? Be well, Hugo
