In this new episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo discuss with Eric George (from the great Champagne house of Forget Brimont located in Reims France) about this prestigious wine which is one of the signatures of the French "art de vivre" around the world.

What is the difference between Champagne and other sparkling wines? How is it made? When was it invented? What is a "Premier Cru" ? What is a "Grand Cru"? Why, unlike still wine, a Champagne bottle generally does not indicate a year (a vintage) on the label? What is a "vintage Champagne"? 

Everything you always wanted to know about Champagne is in this podcast!

"Buy Less, Buy Better" has always been our motto since the creation of our YouTube channels (Sartorial Talks in English and Discussions Sartoriales in French). But today it seems that this claim is becoming even more relevant as people start to realize the terrible ecological cost of fast-fashion while rediscovering the virtues of traditional craftsmanship and patience.

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.

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.

Coco Chanel said that when everything else fades, it remains.
Audrey Hepburn said everyone has his own.
Charles Bukowski called it “everything”, saying that Joan of Arc had style, John the Baptist, Jesus, Socrates, Ceasar, Garcia Lorca…

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.

Sartorial Talks : Executive and peer pressure to dress down? Really ? In certain industries, dress codes are not simply relaxed: it is actively frowned upon to suit up or dress well. 

The Tech industry in the old days was stylistically notorious for bearded hippies wearing jeans & t-shirts with funny/political/satyrical messages. They did not care about narrow elegance rules, but they had their very own flair and endearing style.

The above characteristic of the early days of tech was dissected, repackaged and taken to the extreme by the modern world. In tech, we now make an arms race (or a “rags race”) on how to dress down. We've even heard conversations of people boasting how little they spent on clothes. We've heard people making judgements on others solely on the fact that they’re wearing a nice pair of trousers. The whole problem reached its climax a few years ago, when a prominent Silicon Valley entrepreneur publicly declared “I never invest in someone who wears a suit”.

This mentality is based on the silly theory that clothes make you smarter or dumber. It is also based on the outrageous hypocrisy that dressing-down leads to a more egalitarian and meritocratic society.

In this episode we try to understand what is more elitist: 
a) a nicely-cut understated suit, or 
b) an Oxford or Harvard hoodie?
