The Tailoring Talk Magazine

Colin Farrell’s wardrobe in Sugar on Apple TV+ is one of the best examples of modern screen tailoring in recent years. In this audio article, Roberto Revilla takes a bespoke tailor’s eye to John Sugar’s dark suits, white shirts and dark ties, and explains why such a simple wardrobe feels so cinematic, so modern and so right for the character. This episode looks at Christie Wittenborn’s costume des...

Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, recorded from two very different locations: Roberto at home and Jon sitting in a hot car in a country park, trying to escape the sounds of barbecues, dogs, children and general British summer chaos. The conversation starts with Roberto’s new Arsenal Women Trailblazers podcast, why he’s committed to building a consist...

|In this solo Tailoring Talk Magazine episode I’m talking about one of the biggest shifts I’m seeing in menswear right now: what I call “liquid tailoring.” If you’re a busy, driven guy in London, you probably recognise the scenario. Your calendar’s rammed back to back, you’ve got a full day in the City, then you’re straight into dinner in Mayfair without time to go home and change. The last thing...

In this episode I share my three month review of the M5 MacBook Air 15 inch and ask one simple question: is it still worth buying now Apple has pushed MacBook prices up in 2026. I talk through why I bought the 15 inch M5 MacBook Air instead of another MacBook Pro, how it has handled 4K video editing, AI tools, travel and everyday life, and what the new pricing does to the choice between MacBook Ai...

Wimbledon - aka the Greatest Tennis Tournament In The World - is one of those funny occasions where it’s absolutely a sporting event, but doesn’t really feel like any other sporting event. You’re not dressing for football, you’re not dressing for a barbecue, and you definitely don’t want to look like you’re heading straight off to mow the lawn afterwards. In this spoken word episode of Tailoring T...

Milo Ventimiglia may not be playing the most trustworthy man in Netflix’s I Will Find You, but as Hayden Payne, he’s easily the best dressed man in the show. In this audio article, Roberto Revilla takes a tailor’s eye to Milo Ventimiglia’s styling in the Harlan Coben thriller and looks at why the wardrobe works so well, not because it’s loud or obviously fashionable, but because it’s controlled, t...

What does smart casual actually mean for men? In this audio article, Roberto reads his piece, What Is Smart Casual For Men? How To Build A Wardrobe Where Everything Works Together, and breaks down why so many men struggle with getting dressed even when their wardrobes are technically full. The problem usually isn’t a lack of clothes. It’s that the clothes don’t talk to each other. A jacket bought...

You probably have a pair of jeans in your wardrobe right now that you want to love. They looked great on the hanger. They might even have looked decent in the mirror when you tried them on in the shop. But then you wore them properly and something felt off. The waistband dug in when you sat down. The seat went saggy by lunchtime. The thighs were fine standing but felt like a grip test on the stair...

Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, starting with the strange feeling of swapping an Apple Watch for a proper Omega Seamaster at dinner and what that says about style, habits and dressing like a grown up. From there, the conversation moves into Apple’s latest software betas, the promise of a genuinely useful Siri AI, whether Apple could replace paid AI...

Tim Cook has said his final “Good morning” and WWDC 2026 is underway – so Roberto and Jon are here to walk you through what Apple actually announced and what it will mean for your everyday tech life. This keynote felt very different: Apple grouped features across iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS and visionOS instead of the usual OS‑by‑OS tour, and the focus was firmly on real users rather than developers....

Somebody just paid the best part of eight grand for a James Bond watch that was designed for a video game before it was ever designed for a human wrist. And I’m genuinely tempted to be one of those somebodies. In this episode I read you my full, honest write-up of Omega’s new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light”, the first-ever James Bond chronograph, and give you a take you won’t ge...

Bobby and Jon are back with a pre-WWDC catch-up recorded the day before Apple’s 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. The episode begins with Bobby calling Jon from his new iPhone Air, having just switched away from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That leads into a wider conversation about why “less is more” might be exactly what Apple needs right now, whether the iPhone Air is the perfect antidote to over...

Are suits really coming back in 2026, or did they never truly go away? In this audio version of Roberto’s recent article, he looks at the shift happening across offices, boardrooms and professional life as more men start moving back towards smarter dressing. After years of relaxed dress codes, working from home and “dress for your day” ambiguity, many professionals are realising that a well-cut su...

No Bond film in cinemas? No problem. Roberto and Jon get their first taste of 007 First Light, and discover the game comes with a brand-new Omega Seamaster that has every Bond fan reaching for their wallet. In this candid, unscripted episode, the pair wander from an unexpected burst of AI enthusiasm to the new Bond origin game, the watch debate it has triggered, and a genuinely thoughtful conversa...

The postman finally turns up, Roberto rips open the package convinced it's the new 007 First Light game... and it's a sample of curtain track. From there it only gets better. This is a totally candid, unfiltered weekend catch-up between Roberto and his Tailoring Talk Magazine co-host Jon Evans, recorded in one take, warts and all. Jon's been playing IO Interactive's new James Bond game 007 First L...

Jon Evans takes the mic for a solo Tailoring Talk Magazine tech episode, looking ahead to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026 and asking the big question: can Apple finally make Siri matter again? WWDC26 may not be about a shiny new Mac, headset or surprise hardware reveal. This year, the real story could be much bigger: whether Apple can turn Apple Intelligence into something peop...

253 Bobby and Jon are back with another candid Tailoring Talk Magazine call, covering hot weather dressing, the return of office dress codes, Bobby’s Bentley factory visit, craftsmanship, AI fatigue, iPhone regrets, Apple rumours and why smartphones might be the root of all evil. The conversation begins with the practical problem of dressing well when it’s hot, including summer shorts, espadrilles...

251 Bobby and Jon are back with another unscripted Tailoring Talk catch-up, covering everything from Bond First Light and the future of 007 to summer dressing, Tom Hardy on holiday, AI-generated content, old iPods and why everyone might secretly want a dumb phone again. In this episode, Roberto and Jon get into the strange state of modern entertainment and technology. There’s talk of Amazon’s Bond...

250 What should men wear to a summer wedding? It sounds like a simple question, but as Roberto explains in this episode, it really isn’t. The right answer depends on whether you’re the groom or a guest, the dress code, the setting, the climate, the bride’s outfit, your own natural colouring, and how formal the day is meant to feel. That’s why so many men get it wrong by thinking “light linen suit”...

249 In this unscripted weekend episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto and Jon somehow manage to go from a countryside bike ride to Project Hail Mary, from Apple launch queues to Greek Cypriot funerals, and from cinema etiquette to whether phones are quietly ruining modern life. Jon joins the call mid-cycle, complete with wind noise, hills, passing horses and the kind of rural soundtrack that...

248 Is Project Hail Mary the best science fiction film in years? Jon and Alex think it just might be - and they give it a full 5 out of 5. In this episode of the Tailoring Talk Magazine Podcast, Jon and Alex sit down to review Project Hail Mary, the big-screen adaptation of Andy Weir's beloved novel, starring Ryan Gosling as reluctant hero Ryland Grace. Jon went in completely fresh with no trailer...

247 Another unscripted Sunday catch-up, and this time Roberto is behind the wheel of his new Mini Electric - loving every second of it - while Jon is still waiting for his Nissan to be returned after nine months in a dealership. Life is unfair. We cover a lot of ground this week, from a film you absolutely need to see to a battery technology that could change EVs forever. Today’s conversation cove...

246 Roberto is on his final morning in Madrid - soaking in the city’s effortless elegance one last time - while Jon is freshly back from an Easter break in the New Forest. In this episode of our Candid Conversations series, we picked up the phone and just… talked. No agenda, no script, no edits. Exactly as it happened. This week’s unscripted conversation covers: •Madrid vs. London living - what Ro...

Fifty years later, Bobby and Jon jump on the phone for a candid, unfiltered conversation about the company that shaped so much of their tech lives.   This isn’t a polished keynote-style retrospective. It’s two Apple fans talking honestly about the products, moments and memories that stuck with them most. They get into their earliest encounters wit...
