    Great inspiring video, as always! I really like the style of the two-roll-three button jacket. I personally think it looks best with a heavier fabric like flannel (I own a flannel suit, that has this sort of buttoning on the jacket, but instead with a notch I went with a peak lapel and what can I say it is one of my favourite pieces to wear, even as a separate). Thank you for this great content! Stay safe!

    Other jacket design options I learned about while doing research:
    - lapel style option: notched, peak, shawl ( like on tuxedos)
    - lapel width: slim, standard, wide
    - lapel pin button hole: working, decorative, none
    - ticket pocket: yes, no
    - ticket pocket style: flapped, piped
    - pocket style: none, straight or slanted, flapped or piped
    - sleeve button count: 0-4
    - sleeve button holes: with or without
    - back vent: double/side, single/center, none
    - canvassing: none, fused, half, full
    - pick stitching: yes or no
    - breast pocket: none, patch, patch x 2
    So, as one can see, and Hugo points out, there are many ways to customize even just the jacket.

    Excellent video, Hugo! I loved the notion of seeing clothing as something higher than "dressing to impress" and how it truly has an effect of one's state of mind and in the way to perceive the world. Also the idea of having only one button on the jacket seems like the classiest kind of inside joke I could have with myself.

    I think that 3 button jacket is kinda functional.. i live mostly in Canada, Montreal & also Southern Greece, Island of Crete..
    many times in Autumn season temperature will be around 15 deg cel with not too much wind.. So usually i will wear a wool suit with a 3/4 long wool over-coat..
    Brrrr so many times by late afternoon a very strong wind will start blowing & the temperature will drop another 5 deg..
    So all the wind just blows down my chest & it just gets so cold, so to be able to have a 3rd button just to close the chest abit more i think is very functional..

    Very enjoyable listening to you in such a free wheeling spoken style on your feet. Hugo is a peak lapel more formal than a notched lapel? As I wear MTM suits for myself I have only notched so far as I actually consider my suits casual wear - they are so comfortable. So I’m wondering if my next suit should have a peak lapel or will it look to formal. I’ma photographer and not a banker so while I wear them for myself at the same time I don’t want to give off the wrong impression.

    Kind of an offbeat question...Do you have any opinions about shank buttons on jackets? It used to be a thing way back when for about a minute...i.e. brass buttons on a navy blazer or braided leather buttons on a tweed sport coat or a camelhair jacket. I don't know...

But as I made the mistake not to order two pairs of trousers, I had to transform it, in 2018, into a blazer by changing the buttons (to metal ones).

    With a MTM service in a company which offers only online orders, it's really hard to get good results the first time. I tried shirts from TailorStore, and the result was worse than off the rack shirts for the first 2 shirts produced (although I took my measurements several times to be sure with the help of another person; and that shirts aren't the hardest clothing item to produce with a good fit). Their customer service was great however, and they allowed me to re-order another shirt for free twice. But I think that fittings and measurement sessions in-store are definitely required to get a good fit with MTM services in a decent amount of tries (and time).
    The skills of a tailor cannot be replaced just with automatic computations based on a few home-made measurements!

      I couldn't agree more for the tailors (as you know I'm a die-hard bespoke customer). However, some MTM salons have made tremendous progresses and are delivering very decent quality. It will never be like true bespoke in-person with several fittings at your tailor, but it can help many climbing the sartorial ladder. Cheers, Hugo

For my next three piece I will definitely go with peaked lapels and a single button.

  • @absdyna
    @absdyna Год назад

    A well cut, traditional, two button jacket will actually have a cutaway after the top button, so if you do try and button the bottom button it will pull the jacket out of shape and ruin the lines of the jacket. A jacket that is designed to have both or all three buttons closed is called a paddock jacket and the cutaway begins after the bottom button. Legend has it it first started when King Henry got too plump to button the bottom button of his riding jacket and left it unbuttoned and then everyone else followed suit (pun intended)

      @@SARTORIALTALKS I find that three button jackets have the detrimental effect of making the torso appear substantially more blocky, since the lapels start further up rather than accentuating the natural waist suppression at the buttoning point. If a tailored jacket is making you look more rectangular than V-shaped then it's not worth it imo. Can't see myself having a three button single breasted jacket outside of a 3/2

    Regarding dressing to impress.
    I've come to think of it like singing. You can pick any of the world's greatest singers and I guarantee they sing when you aren't there. Because that's what they take joy in.
    That's why people do karaoke, because the enjoy the expression.
    Our sartorial sense should be the same.
    A singer may sing as their job, but their passion always shows through.

    I love this video Hugo , but didn’t mention the pockets. I may be only one that noticed this but the jackets had different pockets. I wish you would have mentioned the pockets. One had a flap, one had no flap, one had a straight pocket, while another had an angled pocket and there was also one with a ticket pocket

      @@SARTORIALTALKS Hi Hugo, thanks for such a great episode. I also request you to please give some tips on the tailoring. For example you talked about the positioning of the button. The place that I live in does not have tailors experienced with the small details that can make or break the suit. I also noticed that the sleeve openings are little bit slanted/angled, so if you could talk about these small things as well, that will be a huge bonus!!
      Once again thanks for such great videos.

However after seeing your three piece suit in the light grey houndstooth from cifonelli, It inspired me to begin working on a light grey sharkskin three piece suit with double breasted waistcoat. ( My first three piece) Thank you for all the great inspiration and keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next video, Cheers!

    This video actually shows everybody that you can wear a total different jacket / suit depending on one specific detail that will make a huge difference (something we would hardly notice) which is great.
