00:26 Can you share with us the journey that took you from the university to where you are today?
01:05 So, when did you know that this is something you wanted to do?
01:42 Did you do an internship or did you just apply somewhere and stayed there all your career? What were the different steps that you took?
02:22 Oh, wow! So how long have you been in the company then?
03:35 How would you describe the relationship between legal patent stuff and permanent style?
04:45 So, how do you split the time between Permanent Style and the other stuff? Is it like 50/50 or is it 30/70?
05:07 How would you describe the state of print menswear journalism versus online men's wear journalism?
07:11 I've read that you kind of described your style often as British style sold to the Italians which is kind of a phrase coined by Micheal Drake, he always used that. Can you describe like your approach to that and what it means to you?
08:19 Tell us more about this Italian-Brit thing?
11:21 I think one of the big works in craftsmanship and clothing today is handmade and if you look what's described as handmade, there's this huge kind of area, right? Like sometimes, I would think it's abused or misused. What's your definition of handmade? When is something handmade and where's the line?
13:25 Where is the point sometimes where you think a machine actually provides a better result? Where would you say "Actually, more handwork doesn't make the product better but worse?"
15:16 So, in your opinion, what are the important things to focus on in trousers and pants?
18:16 I've also seen that you kind of went to different shirtmakers and what's your take on shirts today versus a few years ago?
20:00 So, would you say that handwork is much more important than the machine work? How can you feel the difference?
20:55 So, you just mentioned you got new shirts and stuff so, do you keep all the old things and add on to your wardrobe or is it kind of a one in and one out? What's your approach to that?
21:39 So, what does your wardrobe look like?
22:28 Okay, alright! How about topcoats and overcoats? I saw you had one made by Edward Sexton, it's very nice. How many overcoats do you keep in your wardrobe?
22:59 In terms of colors and patterns, what would you say is predominant for you with your suits, jackets, and your overcoats?
23:34 Do you wear things like a sharkskin pattern or small herringbone pattern or do you purely prefer solids but like a Donegal tweed which is very bold and doesn't need a pattern at all?
24:12 So, knowing what you know now, if you had to start building a wardrobe again, what would be the first sportcoats and suits that you would acquire?
25:28 When you're out casually on the weekends, what would you wear when you're not in the office?
26:42 Okay, what would you say are your hobbies outside of your job and Permanent Style? Is there much time for anything else?
28:57 Okay, so what can we expect from Permanent Style in the future? Are you working on new books? Tell us more.

Just came across this video. Thank you so much for this interview. Not only do I think people would appreciate an update with Simon, but with other “influencers”/gentlemen in the know, as it pertains to timeless gentlemen’s fashion.
Gratitude ♥️🕊🙏🏻
this is great! Thanks for sharing the interview.
+catpiano1 You're welcome.
Thanks for the interview :)
I feel Simon defines “Spretzatora!”
its good of Simon to take the time to speak to this peasant
Really nasty comment, and very unclassy
What does T&A think of this? M.
Do I have to have a receding hairline to be a gentleman?
Flashing them pearly whites.
I've been wondering for a while now, is a standing collar an acceptable alternative for wing collars in white tie, or is it not appropriate anymore?
Must be winged to be correct with white tie/full dress
Is really like to see this guy lecture bogans on being cool lol,
Is bespoke sprezzatura? M.
No it isn’t Rover. I’ve seen many a bespoke tailored person looking like a Christmas tree!
You'll get a better welt with a machine than handmade, except when resoling, surely?
I have no experience making shoes, but I used to make some leather goods and I would say hand stitching is generally more flexible and it can be stronger if it’s intended to be.
The bespoke trouser community must be furious.
simon is so pretentious
not at all
Don’t confuse pretentiousness with being over the top, platitudinous and false.
I feel that he can come across as pretentious. But i don't think that he's really pretentious, more of a snob, sure, but he's real
