| How to choose a Good Custom Suit? | 26 juil. 2022 | 00:40:39 | |
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. Our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SARTORIALTALKS | |||

| Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper and Cary Grant: They don't make them like that anymore... | 02 sept. 2020 | 00:51:03 | |
In this new episode of Sartorial Talks, the Podcast, Hugo and Sonya share their admiration for three style icons and ask the question: why when we speak of style icons, we most of the time refer to men of the 1930s and 1940s and not to men of today? Is it simply a question of clothing? Film stars of the ‘golden age’ of Hollywood were actually never revered for their dress alone. Fred Astaire, Gary Cooper, and Cary Grant were, and still are, eulogised for what they represented, which was often a moral integrity or an aversion to excess, of which their dress was a key signifier.
