How to choose a good custom suit? SARTORIAL TALKS 2022-07-01 | With the loosening of the dress codes in all the sectors of professional life and the decline (not to say the collapse) of the low quality ready-to-wear suiting industry, the custom suiting business is on the rise in Europe, in the USA and all around the world. Most gentlemen who are wearing suits or jackets nowadays, are doing it by choice and no more by obligation. This small sartorial revolution is the main reason why, almost paradoxically, the custom suiting industry is progressing with the opening of more and more custom suiting salons and showrooms in all the major cities around the world. Thus, a new challenge arises, as in this business you can now find anything from sartorial disasters to magnifient crafting. In this episode, Hugo analyses this movement and provides advice and simple tips in order for you to choose the right Made-to-Measure company for your next suit, jacket or tailored garments.For this purpose he takes 5 examples of MTM companies who are doing an excellent job in this field: 2 in the USA, 2 in France and one in the Czech Republic.00:00 : Introduction, The rise of customs suiting vs the collapse or bad ready-to-wear suiting04:04 : Redefining the semantics, The difference between Bespoke and MTM07:32 : How a Made-to-Measure suit is made?09:59 : How much a MTM suit costs?10:33 : 4 tips to detect a good MTM company20:20 : Enzo Custom (USA)23:57 : CKC (New York)26:06 : Scavini Paris28:23 : Howard's Paris32:00 : The Owners (Prague-Czech Republic)34:05 : Ladies tailoring at The Owners (Prague)36:03 : The Parisian Gentleman Limited Edition Box Set37:02 : The second edition of "Shoes, the Art of Male Footwear"Enzo Custom : enzocustom.com , Instagram : instagram.com/enzocustomCKC New York : ckcny.com , Instagram : instagram.com/christopherkoreyScavini Paris : http://www.scavini.fr , Instagram : instagram.com/scaviniparisHoward's Paris : https://www.howards.fr/en/ , Instagram : instagram.com/howardsparisThe Owners Prague : https://www.theowners.cz , Instagram : instagram.com/theowners.czTo order the Parisian Gentleman limited edition boxset, please send your request to hugo@parisiangentleman.frTo order the new edition of the book "Shoes, the Art of Male Footwear", please send your request to hugo@parisiangentleman.frTo support the channel and have access to additional content (and personalised style advice), please visit our Patreon page : patreon.com/sartorialtalks

The Bonnet family has created and crafted by hand, since more than 60 years, frames for personalities like Yves St Laurent, Le Corbusier, Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Jacques Chirac, François Mitterand, Maria Callas, Mr Pei or Aristote Onassis (among many others). In their atelier in Bourgogne France, the Bonnet family is one of the last companies in the world to craft tortoise shell frames (with a stock of turtle shells acquired before the convention of Washington in 1974 which forbid the commerce and importation of turtle shells to protect the species): an extremely sophisticated and demanding art mastered by only a handful of artisans on the planet. Since 12 years, Maison Bonnet decided to allow more customers to have access to their extraordinary bespoke experience by working with new materials like buffalo horn or cotton acetate (an organic and bio degradable plastic). A one-of-a-kind artisanal company and a passionate family of craftsmen who recently opened a workshop in London-Mayfair to serve an ever-growing clientele of discerning ladies and gentlemen.Maison Bonnet Website: maisonbonnet.com/enMaison Bonnet Instagram: instagram.com/maisonbonnet

A Talk with Pierre Corthay, Shoemaker Extraordinaire SARTORIAL TALKS 2021-03-23 | In this exceptional episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo welcomes Pierre Corthay, one of the most acclaimed shoemakers in the world and a man who has been awarded the title of "Master of Arts" by the French government (the highest distinction granted to an artisan in France similar to the "living treasures" in Japan).During this rare and in-depth discussion, you will discover the incredible path of a young man, who started in 1984 as an apprentice in the French League of Craftsmen "Les Compagnons du Devoir", who then won his stripes at John Lobb Paris and Berluti before spreading his own wings by buying an obscure small bespoke shoemaking workshop in Paris near Place Vendôme at the beginning of the 1990's. Pierre’s solo beginnings are far from uncomplicated, especially in the early years. But things change in 1992, when world famous fashion columnist Suzy Menkes steps through the door of Pierre’s tiny workshop and becomes enamored with Corthay's shoes. A few days later she publishes in the Herald Tribune, an article about a young, obscure Parisian shoemaker unknown to the general public. Moments later, the telephone of the Rue Volney workshop starts to ring, and not long after, the Sultan of Brunei places an order for 140 pairs of bespoke shoes! At the same time, the iconic Parisian House of Lanvin signs Corthay for all its bespoke orders, turning his story into fairytale material.This is the true story of an artisan who has inspired a whole generation of young shoemakers and who has been a driving force behind the renewed interest of many gentlemen for quality shoes and for traditional craftsmanship.

SARTORIAL TALKS 2020-12-15 | Yves Saint Laurent called it eternal.Coco Chanel said that when everything else fades, it remains.Audrey Hepburn said everyone has his own.A common perception is that you must put a lot of thought and effort into displaying style in the way you dress and present yourself to others. It's certainly one of the most overused words other than chic and fashion, within the realm of how we dress.In this episode, Sonya and Hugo discuss two techniques to try to develop your own style, beginning with a method called heuristics, and ending with a revelation specific to finding your style by E.B. White (discussed in his 1959 enlarged and revised work by William Strunk, Jr. in his dissertation, “The Elements of Style” from 1918).Read the full article on the Parisian Gentleman's blog here: parisiangentleman.com/blog/that-word-called-style
