Ha ha ha me too

They are bitter sore losers the french are.

8 maybe be sufficient... Hugo

@@SARTORIALTALKS 8 minimum. within 10 pair only 1 is black and it isn't nothing i'd wear (given to me, looks like cheap cement glued synthetic-material stacy adams but its only blacks)... Here's some stuff to add (this video didn't address ): Smoking slippers (just for smoking, housewear, the stuff Hugh Heffner wore. I keep these for morning smoking. should be suede or velvet , preferably crushed) House shoes (drivers aren't the same and are DRIVERS.. for house shoes maybe a lined Minnetonka Moccasin for winter, something else like flipflop if need. but i'm japanese so i leave shoes at door and walk barefoot/Tabi socks) Camp Moccasins, (Camp Mocs in short are for wearing outdoors, to camps etc. Camp mocs (may) have a pebbled camp sole efficient for this terrain, but also may have something thicker (eg vibram) for more info , research L.L. Bean Blucher Mocs : The open-lace system of a Blucher with a moccasin (usually of camp moc/outdoor type). I'd keep these more for vibram, or thicker (think timbalands) soles. for the hell of it, Boat Shoe too (as their last driver resembled it. Has the laces that go behind the ankle and can tighten up. has a "siped" sole based on a dog's foot. check Sperry's.

Thank you fro your kind words. Hugo & Sonya

Thank you sir ! Hugo & Sonya

Thank you so much. We are so happy to read this comment which, we believe, perfectly catches the main idea behind this channel (and all our work). Best ! Hugo & Sonya Jacomet

Thanks Polano, a good suggestion. Yours, Hugo

They are both so gracious.

It may be some kind of Urban Legend, but it's pretty cool indeed. Hugo

My wife went to private school during her teens, she told me the uniform required then to wear penny loafers. She also mentioned all the girls would place a penny in the slot on the top of the shoe. This was in the 90s.

Fell in love as well!!!

Thank you Wilfredo for your appreciation. Hugo

@@fortimeless3299 Thank you for your guidance! Really appreciate it!

We kind of agree with this. Hugo & Sonya

Excellent shoes. Slightly overpriced in my opinion, and sometimes quite eccentric but beautiful shoes. Hugo

SARTORIAL TALKS thank you for the reply I've just ordered my first handmade red leather mocassino from him 620 euro.. It's beautiful though, it really looks like a work of art not a shoe. Is that overpriced? It's my first handmade shoe.. I just discover your channel yesterday and discovering this lifestyle just since few weeks

Hey Adriane, leather mocassins are, in my opinion, casual by essence but more and more gentlemen like to wear them with business suits. I advise you read this on our website : parisiangentleman.co.uk/2014/10/21/shoes-and-sartorial-rules-the-time-and-the-place/ Cheers, Hugo

Yes sir ! Hugo

Yes, I have a pair and they are my favorite to wear with white trousers. Hugo

What is usually called a venetian loafer, is a loafer which has no ornamentation (no straps, no horse bite, no tassels). Cheers, Hugo

Ah, I see. Thanks, Hugo. Now would these also be classified as "smoking slippers"?

Lazlo Vass in Budapest is the most famous, but you also have Rozsnyai (very interesting if you like the heavy Budapester style), Budai, Attila... Budapest is a great city for shoe lovers. In Romania you have the St crispin's Atelier but the showroom is in Vienna (same for alexandru Maftei). I hope it helps, cheers, Hugo

Merci Sev ! Hugo

It's a matter of taste. Personally I'm not a big fan of the sockless way, but why not ? Best, Hugo

Dear sir, which model are you talking about ? Cheers, Hugo & Sonya

Hey Julian, this tie is from bespoke shirtmaker Anna Matuozzo in Naples. But I'm afraid it will be difficult to find, unless you go there (and even in this case I'm not sure Anna has produced more then 5 of these). Cheers, Hugo

Many brands are good for Chelsea boots Rodrigo. Take a look the Parisian Gentleman Shoe selection (on parisiangentleman.co.uk). Best, Hugo

Glad you stepped your game up. Many people your age will only wear flipflops and sneakers, buying inferior (cheap) cemented shoes (ege nike, all sneakers besides goodyear welted ones basically) .. and will pay $200-500+ for these same cemented Nike shoes.. when you could pay $200-600+ for a GREAT hand crafted, quality shoe that will last a century or 3 if maintained. Kudos!

Thanks ! Hugo

Since they mentioned Polo, possibly from 'chak.karr' which is Urdu(?) for go-around as in 'a round of golf/polo' which was pronounced 'chucker' in the British accent

Both works depending on where you are. Where i am we say chuck-a

are you talking to the use of Chukka in polo, i.e. chukker?

I’m from Florida and here it’s pronounced Chucka (chuck-uh)

I think you show look at a brand like Cobbler Union (if you live in the USA). Less expansive (you don't pay the brand) and better quality. Hugo

Tods have some nice options

faridun rahimov , burgundy or o blood I believe are very adaptable, matching most colours, be brave.

@@banjopete got it. thanks

Dear Sir, Cobbler Union is one of the best value on the market (with a great quality / price ratio). Their shoes are very well crafted (in Almensa - Spain) and the final product extremely well done. Gaziano and Cleverley (with a personal preference for the first one, as I know Tony Gaziano personally and he's a great shoe maker), are playing in the league above of course. But their prices are at least double if not triple. It depends what you are looking for and how much you are ready to spend in a pair of shoes. For one pair of Gaziano you have two pairs of Cobbler Union. Cheers, Hugo

Thank you so much for that quick reply! I have purchased both from Cobbler Union and G&G (their off the rack, not bespoke), and I do understand there is a large price difference. I was wondering if you could go more indepth on what exactly from a quality standpoint, not the bespoke standpoint, sets these $2000-$3000 shoes a "league" above these $400 dollar shoes. Specicially, in my opinion, G&G shoes seem to be much more elegant in how their welt is made, with much less excess sole around the shoe, and their design and lasts also appear more refined. However, do you believe that objectively there are quality differences in the leather used or the goodyear welting process?

Once again, we are not speaking of the same product. G&G have their own factory in Kettering close to Northampton, they have a bespoke service, they create their own lasts and Tony and Dean (Girling) are shoemakers themselves. All in made inside their factory (except maybe their horse bite loafers and soft loafers which are almost another work). Their lasts are indeed very elegant (I especially like the DECO line, with extremely pinched waists) and their leather of premium quality. Their Goodyear is also impeccable as they work with old machines (they can do this because they are able to find spare parts in the region, which can be a problem for old and fragile GY machines). Cobbler Union has his shoes made for them by a factory in Almensa-Spain. Their leather and GY are (very) decent, actually very good for the price tag, but of course everything is a notch under G&G. It's like comparing a good and sturdy Japanese car with a high level Audi. Not the same league. But once again, CU is,in my opinion, an extremely safe choice if you re on a budget. Otherwise go for G&G, Edward Green or Corthay in France. Cheers, Hugo

Excellent. Thank God Sonya is speaking in this video because I'm not very sure of my prononciation (with my heavy French accent :-) . Best, Hugo

I advise you read this piece on our website : parisiangentleman.co.uk/2016/09/03/women-who-wear-suits/ Cheers, Hugo & Sonya

Thanks Chef (it sounds so French!!). Hugo & Sonya
