Tailoring Talk with Roberto Revilla

Roberto and Jon are back for another relaxed unscripted conversation, beginning with Jon's ongoing battle with Nissan and the frustrations of modern customer service before moving onto some much happier news.Roberto shares the early success of his new Arsenal Women: Trailblazers podcast, which is rapidly approaching 500 downloads in its first month and already attracting listeners from across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. The pair also explain some of the behind-the-scenes changes coming to Tailoring Talk Magazine as they work towards a more consistent and recognisable format for the show. The conversation then turns into a deep dive on Apple's latest public beta. Roberto shares his first impressions of the new Siri, Apple Intelligence, on-device AI, image generation, natural language search, and why this feels like the first version of Siri that genuinely gets out of your way instead of creating more friction. Jon and Roberto also discuss whether Apple's AI could replace ChatGPT for everyday users, what still separates dedicated AI models from Apple's approach, and why the improvements feel more evolutionary than revolutionary. Elsewhere they discuss David Pogue's new book Apple: The First 50 Years, Steve Jobs, Apple's remarkable business story, the colourful iMac G3 era, and why understanding Apple's history is valuable whether you're interested in technology or simply fascinated by great companies. The second half of the episode wanders through James Bond, tailoring, watches, gaming, Half-Life 2, Robocop, Telltale Games, Billy Eilish's new concert film, Apple Vision Pro, Netflix recommendations, and Roberto's ambitious new series exploring the costume and wardrobe of every official James Bond film, before finishing with an increasingly ridiculous discussion about making their own ultra-low-budget Bond film starring Roberto, Jon and Alex.It's another classic Tailoring Talk conversation covering technology, AI, Apple, gaming, business, James Bond, menswear, filmmaking, books and the creative projects currently keeping Roberto and Jon busy.Timestamps00:00 - Jon's Nissan saga and the importance of good customer serviccandidse03:00 - Arsenal Women: Trailblazers reaches nearly 500 downloads07:20 - Living with Apple's new Siri and iOS 27 public beta14:20 - Can Apple's AI replace ChatGPT for everyday users?25:30 - Apple: The First 50 Years and the business lessons from Apple's history34:00 - James Bond, tailoring and Roberto's new Bond wardrobe series42:40 - Gaming, Billy Eilish, Apple Vision Pro and making our own Bond film Hosted on Acast.

James Gunn's new DC Universe continues with Supergirl (2026), but has the film been unfairly judged or does it genuinely fall short?Jon Evans and Alex Hansford sit down for a full spoiler review, discussing Milly Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El, how closely the film follows Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Jason Momoa's debut as Lobo, the strengths and weaknesses of the screenplay, studio reshoots, the visual design, and whether superhero films are beginning to lose their cultural dominance.Along the way they compare the film with the original Helen Slater classic, explore why the comic arguably tells the story better, debate whether the critics were too harsh, and ask what the disappointing box office performance could mean for the future of DC Studios.Spoiler warning: this episode discusses the entire film, including the ending.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and first impressions03:05 Has Supergirl been unfairly judged?11:20 Milly Alcock, Ruthie and the performances21:20 Jason Momoa's Lobo and the supporting cast30:40 Production design, cinematography and music39:50 Favourite moments, ending and final verdicts50:45 Are superhero films losing their appeal?Supergirl 2026 review, Supergirl spoiler review, James Gunn DC Universe, Milly Alcock Supergirl, Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow, Lobo Jason Momoa, DC Studios, Superman 2025, comic book movies, superhero podcast Hosted on Acast.

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 design, the neo-noir influence behind the show, why Sugar's suits had to be built for movement, how cloth and texture do more work than colour, and why a consistent personal uniform can be far more powerful than a wardrobe full of random options.It's not just about Colin Farrell looking good in a suit, although he absolutely does. It's about what men can learn from John Sugar's wardrobe: pick a uniform, buy for movement rather than just the mirror, use texture intelligently, dress to be trusted rather than merely noticed, and stop buying disposable tailoring that falls apart the moment real life gets involved.Read the full article: https://www.robertorevillalondon.com/blog/colin-farrell-sugar-style-john-sugar-suitsGet your own Sugar-style suits and shirts made at https://www.robertorevillalondon.com Hosted on Acast.

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 consistent space for Arsenal Women fans, and how that sits alongside the usual Tailoring Talk mix of style, tech, cars, culture and general nonsense.From there, Roberto and Jon get into the rising cost of consumer technology, including MacBooks, iPads, Apple TV, games consoles, Steam hardware, PlayStation, Xbox and whether Apple's next wave of products could push more people into keeping older devices for longer. Roberto explains why he's trying to use what he already owns, including an old Canon DSLR and his Omega Seamaster, rather than constantly upgrading everything.They also talk Apple Watch battery life, the action button, Shazam, gaming, Nintendo Switch 2, the problems facing Xbox, and whether AI is quietly making every gadget more expensive.The second half moves through cycling, e-bikes, road bikes, mental health, summer fitness, Jon's camping dilemma, the brilliance of Sugar on Apple TV, Colin Farrell's wardrobe, Supergirl costume design, Tank Girl nostalgia, 007 First Light, and why combustion engine performance cars may suddenly be holding their value better than expected.There's also a look at Roberto's BMW M2, the reality of car ownership, salary sacrifice EVs, whether people actually need cars anymore, and why the answer depends entirely on your lifestyle.A wide-ranging, funny and very Tailoring Talk conversation covering Apple, AI, gadgets, gaming, watches, cameras, cycling, TV, films, cars, pets, camping and the strange business of trying to live a slightly more analogue life in an increasingly expensive digital world.

|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 you want is to feel like the only person in the room still dressed for a Monday board meeting.That's where liquid tailoring comes in. It's still a suit, it still says you mean business, but it's softer, easier and a lot more forgiving. It moves with you, it breathes, and it lets you feel like yourself whether you're in a big pitch, on the Tube or ordering that Negroni at the end of the day.In this episode I walk you through:•Why so many men are moving away from “armour” suits and asking for tailored but comfortable instead•What actually makes a suit feel “liquid,” from the fabric to the cut to how it moves on your body•The idea of “living cloth” and why high‑twist wools, linen blends and open‑weave wools are perfect for London life•How to get a relaxed, not sloppy, cut with softer shoulders, lighter canvassing and trousers that finally let you move•Why this style makes sense in a city where you can go from ice‑cold air‑con to Central line heat in minutes•A simple office‑to‑evening outfit formula you can steal straight away•How I approach cutting a liquid suit for clients whose calendars never really stopIf you're living a high‑pace, high‑stakes lifestyle, your clothes can't just look good on a hanger, they've got to perform for you. A well cut liquid suit lets you stay in that “relaxed focus” zone all day, holding the line quietly in the background while you get on with what you do best.If this sparks ideas for your next suit or you realise your current wardrobe feels more like armour than second skin, reach out and let's talk. We'll walk through your typical week, look at fabrics that make sense for your life, and start putting together outfits that work as hard as you do.Links Website: robertorevillalondon.com Instagram: @robertorevillalondon Hosted on Acast.

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 Air and MacBook Pro. You will hear about battery life, the bigger display, the speakers and the fanless design from the point of view of someone actually living with the machine, not just running benchmarks.I also look at Apple's recent MacBook and iPad price rises and how they have changed how I think about upgrading my other devices, including the iPad Pro. If you are trying to decide between the 15 inch M5 MacBook Air and the 14 inch M5 MacBook Pro, or you are wondering if now is still a good time to buy a MacBook Air, this episode is for you.I finish with a question for you: at these new prices, would you still go MacBook Air, stretch to a MacBook Pro, or wait it out.Tailoring Talk is a lifestyle podcast hosted by bespoke tailor and former tech guy Roberto Revilla, helping you get through life in style, from suits and shirts to the tech you use everyday.

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 Talk, Roberto Revilla reads his guide to what men should wear to Wimbledon, especially when the temperature starts climbing and people begin making some very strange decisions in the name of staying cool.From lightweight jackets and proper shirts to smart chinos, tailored trousers, suede loafers and breathable summer cloths, this episode is about dressing for the occasion without roasting yourself alive in the process.Roberto covers what works, what to avoid, why “no strict dress code” does not mean “no standards”, and how to stay sharp even if week two starts feeling like Lucifer's oven.If you're heading to Wimbledon this year, this is your refresher guide to looking considered, comfortable and properly dressed for one of the great events of the British summer.Read the full article on the Roberto Revilla London blog.If you're interest in personal styling or bespoke tailoring get in touch with Roberto at www.robertorevillalondon.comWimbledon style, what to wear to Wimbledon, men's Wimbledon outfit, men's summer style, Wimbledon dress code, men's tailoring, summer tailoring, smart casual men, bespoke tailoring London, Tailoring Talk Magazine Hosted on Acast.

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, tonal, quietly expensive-looking and properly considered.This episode is really about smart casual dressing done properly.Because for a lot of successful, busy men, the question isn't simply “what suit should I wear?” anymore. Modern life demands a wardrobe that can move between the office, client meetings, travel, lunches, dinners, weekends, Zoom calls, hotels and those deeply unhelpful invitations that say “smart casual” and expect you to decode them as if it's obvious.Using Milo Ventimiglia's Hayden Payne as the starting point, Roberto breaks down why fit is doing more work than most men realise, why restrained colour palettes make wardrobes easier to use, why trousers matter far more than most men give them credit for, and why quiet luxury only works when it's based on proportion, texture and restraint rather than logos, gimmicks or expensive randomness.This isn't about copying a Netflix character outfit by outfit. It's about understanding why the wardrobe works and how those same principles apply to real men with real lives.Read the full article: https://www.robertorevillalondon.com/blog/milo-ventimiglia-i-will-find-you-styleRoberto Revilla London: https://www.robertorevillalondon.comFollow Tailoring Talk Magazine: https://www.youtube.com/@tailoringtalkmagazine Hosted on Acast.

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 for one wedding. Chinos bought for one holiday. Shirts that seemed like a good idea at the time. A blazer that sort of works but never quite makes you feel sharp. Before long, you've got a wardrobe full of individual solutions but no real system.Roberto explains how to build a smart casual wardrobe around useful foundations: versatile trousers, linen and linen-blend shirts, unstructured jackets and summer suits that can be worn as separates. The point isn't to own more. It's to own better pieces that earn their place because they work across multiple outfits, multiple settings and multiple versions of your life.This episode is for any man who wants to stop staring at a full wardrobe thinking he has nothing to wear, and start building a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier, sharper and far less stressful.Get in touch with Roberto via www.robertorevillalondon.comSubscribe to the Youtube channel for the visual version dropping soon : https://youtube.com/tailoringtalkmagazine Hosted on Acast.

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 stairs.That's not you being fussy. That's your jeans not fitting you properly.In this episode Roberto Revilla, bespoke tailor with over 23 years in the industry, walks you through the four areas where men's jeans almost always fail: waist, seat, thighs and rise, and explains why your “usual size” gives you a completely different result depending on which brand you buy from, or even which season you buy in from the same brand.He also gets into why vanity sizing is quietly making this worse, how brands change their patterns without telling you, and why so many men end up blaming their own bodies for a problem that was never really theirs to own.And if you've ever found yourself standing in a fitting room thinking “have I actually changed shape or has something changed about these jeans?” Yes, you're right, and no, it's not you.What's covered in this episode:•Why the number on the label tells you almost nothing about actual fit•The four failure points: waist, seat, thighs and rise, and how to read each one•Why off-the-peg jeans are cut around a man who doesn't exist•Vanity sizing, quiet factory pattern changes, and how brands get away with it•The psychological cost of jeans that never feel right•How a bespoke jeans fitting actually works, from the first conversation to the finished pattern•Why a pattern that's yours for life beats a size number every single time•Who bespoke denim actually makes sense for (and who it probably doesn't)If you've ever owned 15 pairs of jeans and not really liked any of them, this one's for you.Roberto Revilla is a bespoke tailor based in London.

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 tools like ChatGPT or Claude for everyday users, and why privacy, on-device processing and private cloud compute could make Apple's approach especially interesting for work, productivity and personal organisation.The second half of the episode turns into a deep dive on cars and the future of the motoring industry. Roberto and Jon discuss the first images of BMW's upcoming electric M3, the changing design language of EVs, why battery range and software may matter more than old-fashioned badge prestige, and how Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, Jaecoo and Omoda could reshape the car market in the UK.They also get into used Porsche Taycan values, Hyundai's Ioniq 9, the rise of chunky EV design, whether premium brands still have real badge power, and why the next generation of car buyers may judge vehicles very differently to those of us who grew up with petrol engines, Sunday drives and poster cars.A wide-ranging conversation covering watches, style, Apple, AI, EVs, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai, Chinese car brands, car finance, software, batteries and why the whole car industry might be entering its biggest shift in decades.

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. Roberto and Jon start with the “Golden Gate” opening skit and the handover to John Ternus before diving into the big story of the event: Apple Intelligence and the complete rebuild of Siri on a brand‑new foundation.You'll hear how Apple has made Siri far more conversational, better at understanding what's on your screen and in your apps, and more capable of using your personal context – all while keeping processing on‑device where possible and leaning on private cloud compute when it can't. They talk through practical examples, like asking Siri to find an address buried in a text, plan a night out from your calendar and messages, or fix hundreds of weak passwords automatically so you actually get around to updating them.Roberto and Jon also break down device support and caveats. iPhone 11 and newer will benefit, but the most advanced Apple Intelligence features and custom Siri voices are limited to the latest devices, selected M‑series Macs, recent Apple TV 4K models and newer Apple Watch Ultras. They discuss what that means if you're trying to decide whether to upgrade hardware or let your existing iPhone get a new lease of life in September.Beyond AI, they highlight the quality‑of‑life improvements that might matter even more day to day: faster app launches and AirDrop, seamless Wi‑Fi to 5G hand‑off so you're not constantly toggling radios, better search in Mail, more inclusive shared photo libraries with non‑Apple users, and custom EQ for the latest AirPods. Vision Pro owners get special attention too, with the ability to turn spatial photos into full environments and new ways Roberto can virtually “re‑fit” clients from his workshop images.There's also a quick look at enhanced parental controls and child‑safety tools, plus Apple's new Image Playground and spatial reframing features – including the big question of what happens to “truth” in photography when AI can subtly re‑angle and clean up your memories. Finally, they consider how Apple One and iCloud+ tiers might gate some Apple Intelligence capabilities, and whether either of them will still need third‑party AI subscriptions like ChatGPT once all this ships.If you're wondering whether to install the betas, budget for new hardware, or simply wait for the public release, this episode will help you work out your next move after WWDC 2026.

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 get from any of the watch blogs, because I'm a tailor before I'm a watch person, and a lot of my clients are serious watch enthusiasts.I get into:•Why there's a Bond watch coming from a video game and not a film, and why that's cleverer than it sounds•The full specs, and why that 17.2mm thickness is the most controversial thing about it•Where it sits among the great Bond Omegas, from my own Casino Royale to the SPECTRE•The catch nobody mentions: it's not a limited edition•The tailor's angle: why this watch will not sit under a proper shirt cuff, and why that's actually perfect for the story it's telling•Whether it's a future classic or a future footnote, and whether you should buy oneRead the full written article on the blog, inked below.Got an opinion on the watch, the game, or whether Bond and gaming should mix?

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 oversized phones and why the Apple ecosystem has started to feel more complicated than it used to.From there, Bobby and Jon preview WWDC26, looking at what Apple may announce across iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Vision OS, Siri and Apple Intelligence. They discuss whether Siri can finally become genuinely useful, whether Apple's cautious approach to AI is actually a strength and why the company needs to balance intelligence, privacy, safety and simplicity.The conversation also takes a more serious turn into AI trust, generative AI, chatbot dependency, Silicon Valley's disconnect from the real world and the dangers of releasing powerful technology before it's properly ready.Then the episode swerves into motoring, with Bobby and Jon debating the new Ferrari Luce, its controversial design, whether it really feels like a Ferrari and whether Jony Ive's involvement makes the whole thing more interesting. Jon also confirms he has ordered the Kia EV3 and gives an update on the long-running Nissan saga.Also covered: Apple TV, CarPlay, Vision Pro, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, proper cameras, camping gear and why watching an Apple keynote with a beer and Notes app open is apparently a perfectly normal hobby.Chapters00:00 - WWDC begins tomorrow00:09 - Bobby calls from the new iPhone Air00:57 - Less is more and what Apple needs now01:33 - Moving away from the iPhone 17 Pro Max02:36 - Amazon discounts and the iPhone Air deal03:55 - Apple Watch battery life without iPhone05:27 - Why WWDC is really for developers05:55 - Smart home, smart glasses and foldable iPhone hints06:39 - Why the iPhone Air finally makes sense08:03 - Phone cameras versus proper cameras09:08 - Jony Ive, design magic and lightness10:11 - Tailoring, comfort and the feeling of not feeling something11:13 - iPhone Air size, screen and titanium body13:21 - Bobby's upcoming iPhone Air review plan14:21 - Has the Apple ecosystem become too complicated?15:48 - tvOS and the next Apple TV17:42 - Siri, Apple Intelligence and make-or-break WWDC18:14 - What a standalone Siri app could become19:10 - ChatGPT, Gemini and third-party AI integration20:04 - AI fatigue and young people pushing back21:43 - Silicon Valley, AI CEOs and real-world disconnect22:17 - AI chatbots, dependency and safety concerns25:14 - Is Apple cautious rather than behind?28:32 - Moving back to WWDC predictions29:04 - What should the new Siri actually do?31:23 - CarPlay, driving and putting your phone in the boot33:02 - Siri on Apple Watch and voice-first usefulness34:08 - Ferrari Luce discussion begins35:02 - Is the Ferrari Luce really an SUV?36:08 - Does it actually feel like a Ferrari?36:33 - Jon orders the Kia EV337:52 - Would Jon buy the Luce after winning the lottery?39:35 - Collectibility, rarity and future value43:24 - Why Jon chose the Kia EV345:33 - Nissan admits it can't fix Jon's car48:03 - Watching the WWDC keynote49:32 - Vision OS and immersive content50:25 - Project Hail Mary on Vision Pro51:01 - Final WWDC thoughts and September expectations53:02 - iPhone Air battery update and closing thoughtsApple, WWDC26, iPhone Air, Siri, Apple Intelligence, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Vision Pro, Apple TV, ChatGPT, Gemini, AI safety, Ferrari Luce, Jony Ive, Kia EV3, electric cars, Nissan, Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto Revilla, Jon Evans Hosted on Acast.

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 suit still does something casual clothing often can't: it creates clarity, confidence and presence.Roberto explores why smart casual has become such a minefield for so many men, why younger professionals are using tailoring to stand out and why senior clients in finance, law, property and consulting are quietly rebuilding their suit wardrobes again.This isn't really about nostalgia or forcing everyone back into stiff corporate uniforms. It's about the modern suit as a practical tool: tailored but comfortable, elegant without being restrictive and still one of the easiest ways to look prepared, competent and intentional.Because maybe the real question isn't whether suits are coming back.Maybe it's whether we ever stopped needing what they represent.Based on Roberto's article published on 25 May 2026.

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 conversation about screen fatigue and stripping life back to basics. Along the way: the audio show officially hits its monetisation threshold (thank you, listeners), what really makes Bond a hero, and whether Roberto should finally retire his Apple Watch in favour of the Seamaster he worked years to earn.In this episodeAI tools, agents, and a half-serious "Tailoring Talk app" idea007 First Light: the Bond origin story and its standout openingStealth vs all guns blazing, and the Hitman studio pedigreeThe new First Light Omega Seamaster and Omega's game tie-inLimited edition vs collectability, and a client's buying adviceScreen fatigue, the Oura ring, and the future of wearablesiPhone Air, titanium vs aluminium, and minimising digital lifeTimestamps[00:00] AI tools, models, agents, and the "Tailoring Talk app" idea[01:30] A big thank-you: the audio show hits its monetisation threshold[04:40] First impressions of 007 First Light and its standout opening[11:00] What really makes Bond a hero[13:30] The new Omega Seamaster and Omega's game tie-in[16:00] Limited edition vs collectability, and a client's advice[23:00] Screen fatigue, rings, and the future of wearables[30:00] iPhone Air, titanium vs aluminium, and minimising lifeLinksRead Roberto's essay on the First Light Omega Seamaster: robertorevillalondon.com/blogWatch the essay on the Tailoring Talk YouTube channelEnjoying the show?

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 Light for three days. Roberto's still waiting for his copy. So instead they get stuck into the thing that's actually turned Roberto's head: the watch.Omega has released the first-ever James Bond chronograph, the Seamaster Diver 300M "007 First Light", a real watch you can buy for just shy of £8,000, designed from the ground up for the game. In this bonus episode the two of them get into:Why a Bond watch is coming from a video game and not a filmHow the watch works as an actual gadget inside the game, and the Q Branch scene where you choose your ownWhether it's a cynical cash grab or a genuinely clever bit of Omega marketingThe big problem: it's NOT a limited edition, unlike Roberto's Casino Royale (1 of 10,007) and the SPECTRE (1 of 7,007)Whether it'll still become a collector's piece, and Jon's bold claim that the game itself belongs in the Bond canon alongside the filmsRoberto's "biggish birthday" and the portrait in the atticRoberto's full written review and the companion YouTube video will go deeper on the specs, the heritage, and whether it's a future classic.

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 people actually use every day.Jon breaks down the rumours around iOS 27, macOS 27, Watch OS 27, Vision OS 27 and the future of Siri, including reports of a dedicated Siri app, chat-style conversations, searchable history, favourites, Dynamic Island integration and a darker visual redesign.There's also discussion of whether Apple could allow users to choose third-party AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini as defaults for certain Apple Intelligence features, and why that would mark a fascinating shift for a company built around vertical integration.The episode also looks at Apple's wider AI challenge. Apple has the hardware, software, chips, privacy story and ecosystem advantage, but Siri has spent years feeling behind the competition. If Apple can make Siri genuinely conversational, context-aware and useful across apps, Apple Intelligence suddenly starts to make sense.

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, sliders, Jesus creepers and why office dress codes are starting to make a comeback after going too far the other way.That leads into a bigger discussion about dressing appropriately for your role, your environment and your audience, rather than simply defaulting to “wear a suit” or “wear whatever you like”. Bobby shares how he's been helping companies think through modern dress codes in a more nuanced way, especially now that workplace expectations are shifting again.The main thread of the episode is Bobby's recent private visit to the Bentley factory, where he hosted VIP clients and came away deeply inspired by the craftsmanship, process, detail and human skill behind each car. That sparks a wider conversation about why people value handmade things more once they understand what goes into them, and why showing the process behind bespoke tailoring could completely change how clients experience the workroom.From there, Bobby and Jon get into AI, authenticity and the likely return of appreciation for human-made work. They discuss whether AI is useful as a tool, where it becomes problematic, and why practical effects, handmade objects and real creative accidents still matter.As always, it's candid, chaotic and only loosely on the rails.Timestamps00:00 - Scorchio, Harry Enfield and the heatwave00:48 - Jon's difficult week and British stewardess behaviour01:51 - Hot weather, dogs and summer dressing problems02:32 - Jon's heatwave outfit confession03:50 - Bobby's off-duty dog-walking outfit04:23 - Shorts, trainers and espadrilles05:20 - Jesus creepers and visible feet in summer06:20 - Hot weather and office dress codes06:46 - Why workplace dress codes are coming back07:40 - Modern dress codes need nuance08:16 - Dressing appropriately for your role09:02 - Bentley factory visit and professional standards10:10 - Rookery Hall and the Bentley trip11:31 - The Bentley Bentayga and soft-close doors12:09 - Meeting the people behind the cars12:49 - Why Bentley's craftsmanship moved Bobby13:10 - Reworking the Roberto Revilla London workroom experience14:08 - Showing clients the process behind the product15:26 - Building a visual journey into the workroom16:26 - AI, handmade work and the artisan resurgence17:28 - Practical effects and why Project Hail Mary feels real18:30 - Vinyl, cassettes and analogue nostalgia18:51 - The Boys and practical effects19:40 - Creative accidents versus perfect planning20:33 - Where AI helps and where it becomes dangerous21:00 - Jon's AI workflow for teaching22:32 - Google AI and the foothills of the singularity22:58 - How seeing craft changes the client experience24:44 - Lost signal and revisiting the Bentley headrest story25:58 - Robots, Minis and mass production26:50 - Bobby's BMW M2 finally gets a proper run28:14 - Why Bentley changed Bobby's view of expensive cars29:03 - Ferrari interiors and Jony Ive design philosophy30:36 - iPhone 17 Pro Max damage and aluminium versus titanium31:38 - Bobby's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max usage32:36 - Why the iPhone Air makes sense as a work phone34:22 - Amazon deals and the MacBook Air bargain35:07 - Folding iPhone rumours35:42 - Would Bobby actually buy an iPhone Fold?37:02 - Jon's anti-phone existential crisis37:37 - Phone fatigue and wanting to shut the curtains38:04 - Reading nights, music and fewer screens38:36 - Apple Watch Ultra and AirPods rumours39:25 - AirPods cameras, gestures and accessibility40:52 - What Jon wants from WWDC42:04 - A better Siri and Apple Intelligence43:40 - Washing up, domestic glamour and Bond First Light45:28 - Wrapping up Hosted on Acast.

There's talk of Amazon's Bond future, whether the next 007 era needs time to breathe, and why Bond First Light might be the closest we're getting to a new Bond adventure for a while.They also wander into summer style territory, including linen, suede chukka boots and what men should actually wear when the weather gets hot but they still need to look smart. Then the conversation shifts into AI, authenticity, social media fatigue and whether we're heading towards a resurgence of more human, handmade and analogue things.Also featuring: Tom Hardy ski trip stories, iPod nostalgia, AppleCare confusion, possible AirPods Pro cameras, the dream of a distraction-free music player and Jon's very unexpected Nintendo Pikmin oven dish.In this episode:Roberto and Jon discuss:Bond First Light and the lack of new James Bond filmsThe future of the 007 franchise under AmazonSecret Service with Gemma ArtertonPragmata, Saros and SplatoonTom Hardy, Henry Cavill and dream tailoring clientsWhat men should wear in hot weatherLinen suits, suede chukka boots and James Bond summer styleAI-generated graphics, thumbnails and articlesWhy obvious AI writing feels lazyThe difference between AI as a tool and AI replacing authenticitySocial media fatigue and the “enshittification” of the internetOld iPods, Cover Flow and the appeal of dumb techApple rumours, iPhone Fold and AirPods Pro hand gesturesJon's Pikmin gratin dish from NintendoChapters00:00 Summer Vibes and Entertainment Recommendations02:43 Bond Franchise and Future of Cinema06:01 Fashion Insights and Tailoring Preferences08:23 AI in Content Creation and Education11:41 The Role of AI in Art and Authenticity15:28 Social Media and Cultural Reflections19:16 Technology and Nostalgia23:35 Apple Innovations and Future PredictionsUseful links:Watch Tailoring Talk Magazine on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@tailoringtalkmagazineRoberto Revilla London:https://www.robertorevillalondon.comFollow Roberto Revilla London on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/robertorevillalondonFollow Tailoring Talk Magazine on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/tailoringtalkmagazineListen, follow and shareIf you enjoyed this episode, follow Tailoring Talk Magazine wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a rating or review and share the episode with someone who enjoys menswear, movies, tech, Bond, Apple rumours or two friends talking complete nonsense with occasional useful insight.

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” and trying to tick it off the to-do list. In this episode, Roberto breaks down the framework he uses when helping clients get this right: When, Where and Who. From there, he explains how he thinks through formality, colour, fabric, shirt, tie and shoes, why the groom should complement and elevate the bride, how to build a versatile summer suit, and the biggest mistakes guests and grooms make. He also covers natural colouring, summer construction, breathability, and why timing matters far more than most men realise. In this episode:Why most men get summer wedding dressing wrongThe difference between dressing as a guest and dressing as a groomRoberto's When, Where and Who frameworkHow to decide the right level of formalityWhy colour is about more than personal tasteHow the bride, venue and setting affect the groom's outfitThe truth about light linen suitsNatural colouring and choosing the right shadesConstruction, breathability and comfort in summer tailoringWhat makes a versatile summer suitShoes, shirts and ties for a summer weddingThree warnings for wedding guestsThree warnings for groomsWhy timing matters if you want the best resultTimestamps: 00:00 Why men get this wrong 00:32 Guest vs groom 01:32 Why Roberto wants to know everything 02:48 When, Where and Who 03:42 The order Roberto thinks in 04:06 Choosing the right level of formality 05:00 Should the groom go three piece? 05:35 Colour, the bride and the setting 06:20 Why the groom should elevate the bride 07:13 Real wedding examples 08:00 The light linen suit mistake 08:49 Natural colouring explained 09:36 Warm vs cool colour families 10:14 Why the right colours matter 10:51 Fabric and construction 11:56 Shirts, ties and summer cloth 12:17 Dressing as a wedding guest 12:54 What makes a versatile summer suit? 14:14 Shoes, shirts and ties 15:17 Tie or no tie? 15:48 3 warnings for wedding guests 16:34 3 warnings for grooms 17:01 How early should you start? 17:55 Why Roberto's process is different 18:17 The Christmas lights analogy 18:51 The short version 19:15 How the right outfit should feel 19:40 Final advice for grooms and guests 20:05 Trust your instincts 20:38 Call to action If you've got a summer wedding coming up and want help getting on the right path, head to Roberto Revilla London and apply.

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 makes it sound like he's broadcasting from Victorian England. From there, the conversation turns to Project Hail Mary, why Ryan Gosling feels like perfect casting, why the film works so well on a second viewing and why some stories really do deserve to be seen in the cinema.Roberto then shares a very Apple story about how queuing for the iPad 2 at Brent Cross led to one of his closest friendships, before the episode takes a sharp turn into funeral etiquette, what happens when you trust the wrong person's dress code advice and why arriving at a very formal funeral dressed for a “memorial” is the sort of nightmare Richard Curtis would have written for Hugh Grant.The main rant of the episode is all about phones. Phones at funerals. Phones at concerts. Phones in cinemas. Phones in restaurants. Phones at breakfast in five-star hotels when your partner is sitting right in front of you and you're still staring into the glowing rectangle like a socially useless meerkat.There's also talk of Jack White's phoneless shows, the lost art of being present, whether phone use will one day become as socially frowned upon as smoking, old-school texting, T9 keyboards, Jon's restaurant phone-stack rule and why your terrible low-light food photo is never going to beat the restaurant's own Instagram shot.Also in the mix: Michael, Godzilla, trailers that give away too much and why a 30-second teaser is often more powerful than a three-minute plot summary.In This EpisodeRoberto and Jon discuss:Project Hail Mary and why it's already worth watching againRyan Gosling's performance and the emotional heart of the filmThe strange magic of Apple launch queuesHow the iPad 2 launch accidentally created a lifelong friendshipWhy Roberto ended up accidentally underdressed at a very formal funeralThe problem with phones ringing during serious momentsConcert phone bans and whether they make the experience betterCinema etiquette and why people can't seem to sit still anymorePhones in restaurants and the death of basic table mannersThe phone-stack rule and why the first person to touch their phone should pay the billOld-school mobiles, expensive text messages and the pain of pre-T9 typingWhy modern trailers reveal far too muchMichael, Godzilla and upcoming cinema chat Hosted on Acast.

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 trailers watched, while Alex had just listened to the audiobook for the second time - making this a brilliant dual-perspective review for both book fans and film-first listeners.⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This episode is split into two clear sections. The first half is completely spoiler-free - ideal if you haven't seen the film yet. We'll give you a clear verbal warning before we move into full spoilers.

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 covers:•Jon's Nissan saga update - nine months since the car was towed for repairs and still no resolution; a surprise service appointment, a head mechanic who said things he definitely shouldn't have, and how filing a Financial Ombudsman case suddenly made Nissan very interested in picking up the phone•Mini Electric vs BMW M2 - Roberto drove the M2 to Sussex mid-week for speed and efficiency, but the car he keeps finding excuses to drive is the Mini; real-world range (150–170 miles), motorway behaviour, remote parking via phone, and why driving silently past school parents in idling Range Rovers is deeply satisfying•Project Hail Mary - both Roberto and Jon are evangelical about the Ryan Gosling sci-fi film; practical effects, an emotionally hopeful story, and why it might deserve a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination; Roberto's slightly dodgy viewing arrangement and why he booked Odeon tickets anyway to clear his conscience•Solid-state battery breakthrough - Finnish startup Donut Lab claims the holy grail: a battery with 400Wh/kg energy density (roughly double current lithium-ion), a potential 5–8 minute full charge, unlimited lifespan, and performance unaffected by heat or cold; if it works, this is the tipping point that makes petrol cars obsolete•Cheshire road trip in the Mini - Roberto is planning to drive the Mini Electric up to Rookery Hall and the Bentley factory visit on 18th May and film the whole thing as a road trip vlog; expect at least two charging stops and a revisit of the earlier road trip format•Books & tech - Jon has finished the Walter Isaacson Steve Jobs biography (spoiler: sad ending) and moved on to Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shards of Earth; the Lego Game Boy gets a playable upgrade via the BrickBoy Kickstarter mod; Jon is deep into Final Fantasy VII Integrade on the Nintendo Switch 2•James Bond - First Light & casting rumours - the IO Interactive Bond game (007: First Light) is roughly six weeks away and Roberto cannot wait, given IO's pedigree on the Hitman series; Louis Partridge (22) is being linked to the role of a younger, prequel-era Bond, and the lads debate whether the whole franchise is heading in a prequel direction while waiting for Denis Villeneuve to wrap Dune•Cinema vs streaming - films are leaving cinemas faster than ever, screens can't fit as many runs of longer films, and both agree Project Hail Mary deserves to be seen again on IMAX - which may well return later in the year

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 Roberto keeps coming back to the Spanish capital for, the food culture, the street energy, and why the fashion just hits differently•Easter in the New Forest - Jon's family catch-up, a delightful 22-month-old second cousin, and the very real pain of UK bank holiday traffic•Electric vehicles deep-dive - the state of public EV charging in Britain, Jon's VW ID4 and its genuinely bizarre “unlock seven times” cable trick, Roberto's new Mini Electric, route planning for a potential Cheshire road trip, and why Top Gear's 50 Best Family EVs list is pure clickbait•Tech on the road - Roberto's real-world verdict on the M5 MacBook Air after editing video on it in Madrid (spoiler: it might be the MacBook for most people), plus speculation about the upcoming Apple Mac Studio M5•Reading & culture - Jon is deep into Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography; Roberto has cracked open Ian Fleming's Casino Royale and is discovering Bond on the page is considerably more swarthy - and considerably more chain-smoking - than on screen•A style epiphany - sitting alone in an elegant Madrid hotel bar, Roberto quietly resolves to start dressing with genuine sophistication: suits, winter blazers, and leaving the “late forties dressing like mid-twenties” era firmly behind•Coming up - a potential Fleming novel vs. film review mini-series, the new Bond video game dropping 27th May, and plans to get Alex involved in a future three-way episodeWhether you're a long-time listener or discovering Tailoring Talk Magazine for the first time, this is the kind of honest, rambling, genuinely fun conversation that reminds you why podcasts exist.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 Roberto's Last Morning in Madrid & the iPhone Volume Button Fix02:36 New Forest Easter Break, Bank Holiday Traffic & UK EV Charging Infrastructure05:32 Top Gear's 50 Best Family EVs, VW ID4 Tips & Mini Electric Road Trip Plans08:08 M5 MacBook Air Real-World Review & Apple Mac Studio M5 Rumours10:49 Ian Fleming's Casino Royale Novel vs Film, James Bond's Lifestyle & a Wardrobe Epiphany13:29 Bond Video Game May 2026, Future Episodes & Listener Shoutout

245 On April 1, 1976, Apple was founded. 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 with Apple, from old Macs and the first iPods to the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone X and the original iPad. They also talk about why Apple still has such a hold on people, how certain products changed the wider tech industry, and what might come next as rumours continue around foldables, AR glasses and future Apple Watch upgrades. There's nostalgia here, but there's also scepticism. Bobby and Jon also touch on Apple in 2026, Tim Cook's legacy, privacy, product strategy and whether the company can still deliver the next truly era-defining device. If you've ever owned an iPod, queued mentally for an iPhone, or wondered whether Apple still has the magic, this one's for you.In this episode:Apple's 50th anniversary and why it still mattersThe first Apple devices that pulled us inWhy the iPod changed everythingThe iPhone models that felt genuinely revolutionaryThe original iPad and how opinions changedFoldables, AR glasses and Apple's futureApple Watch Ultra, Vision Pro and what we'd actually buy nextTim Cook, ethics and the harder questions around Apple todayListen now and tell us: what was your first Apple device, and what's your all-time favourite?Timestamps00:00 Intro and setting the scene01:10 Travel chat, hand luggage and taking tech away06:22 MacBook vs iPad and the convenience debate09:58 Apple's 50th anniversary and current Apple books12:27 Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Apple's founding story15:53 Ronald Wayne, the early Apple story and what might have been20:08 Jon's first Apple experience using an old Macintosh22:02 The first iPod and the moment Apple became irresistible26:56 First iPhones, networks and early Apple buying memories27:52 Why the iPhone 4 was such a landmark device30:11 The iPhone X and the jump to Face ID31:44 The original iPad and how different it felt35:55 What Apple might do next - foldables or AR glasses?41:37 Apple Watch Ultra, future upgrades and rumours44:08 Meta glasses, privacy and waiting for Apple's version46:53 Tim Cook, politics and the more complicated side of Apple49:18 Final thoughts at the 50-minute markApple 50th anniversary, Apple podcast, Apple history, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, first iPod, first iPhone, iPhone 4, iPhone X, original iPad, Apple Watch Ultra, Apple foldable, Apple AR glasses, Tim Cook, Apple nostalgia, tech podcast, Apple fans Hosted on Acast.

244 In this weekend unfiltered chat, Bobby and Jon do exactly what listeners have come to enjoy most from these candid catch-ups: hit record and let the conversation go where it wants.This time, Bobby is speaking from inside his brand new MINI Cooper Electric and, despite previously saying he'd never own an EV, he's already completely won over. From the remote parking features and Apple-like build quality to the OLED display, voice controls and overall personality of the car, he shares why this MINI feels special almost immediately.Jon then talks through his recent Ford Explorer EV test drive, including the biggest surprise of all: just how much better it felt to be back in an electric car. The pair get into real-world range, battery pre-warming, charging practicality, interior design, trim choices, safety systems and how different buyers prioritise different things depending on where and how they drive.It's a relaxed but genuinely useful conversation about what makes a modern EV appealing, what still causes hesitation and why range, tech and ease of use matter so much in the real world.

243 Apple dropped a lot of hardware in a very short space of time, so in this episode I'm cutting through the launch-week noise and getting to the only question that really matters: what's actually new, what are the real benefits, and do you genuinely need to bother upgrading? We cover iPhone 17e, iPad Air with M4, MacBook Air with M5, MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max, MacBook Neo, the refreshed Studio Display and the new Studio Display XDR, all through the lens of whether you should stick with what you've got or twist and make the jump. There's a proper look at why iPhone 17e could be the smartest iPhone in the range for normal people, why iPad Air with M4 remains the sweet spot for most users, and why MacBook Air with M5 may be the easiest laptop recommendation in the whole lineup. I also get into the new MacBook Pro for serious creative and professional users, why MacBook Neo might quietly be one of Apple's most important launches because it opens the door to the Mac world without feeling cheap, and why the new Studio Display XDR is the sort of product that makes creative pros start mentally selling organs. The overall verdict is simple: this wasn't a week of reinvention, it was a week of refinement, smarter product positioning and some genuinely sensible upgrade paths for people on older gear. So if you've been wondering whether Apple's latest announcements are must-buy upgrades or just very polished reasons to keep what you've already got, this episode is for you.

242 In this first proper unscripted phone-call episode, Bobby and Jon do something a bit different.Rather than sitting down for a formal studio recording, they hit record on one of their regular catch-up calls and let the conversation go wherever it wants. The result is exactly what you'd expect from two friends who spend a lot of time talking tech, cars and life: a candid, funny, slightly chaotic deep dive into the things they're obsessing over right now.They start with Bobby's trip to the Apple Store after losing his AirPods Pro 3, which quickly turns into a broader conversation about whether the new AirPods Pro 3 are really that much better than the Pro 2, whether the updated AirPods Max 2 are worth considering, and how easily Apple still manages to tempt even the most self-aware buyer. From there, they get into the new MacBook Neo, why it's such an interesting entry point into the Mac lineup, who it's actually for, and whether either of them really needs one or just badly wants one.The conversation then widens into the current Apple lineup more broadly, including the MacBook Air, Studio Display XDR, the iPhone 17 range and the prospect of a foldable iPhone. Is Apple about to create another must-have category, or is this one of those products that sounds exciting until you actually imagine carrying it around every day?To round things off, Bobby and Jon switch gears and talk cars, EVs and the ongoing internal battle between rational decision-making and emotional attachment. Jon shares where he is with the EV search, while Bobby opens up about the reality of owning the BMW M2, the costs, the joy, the dilemma, and why saying goodbye to a car you love is rarely as straightforward as it sounds.If you enjoy relaxed long-form conversations that feel like you're eavesdropping on a real call between mates, this one's for you.

241 Welcome back to Tailoring Talk Magazine and the first episode of Season 15.In this long-overdue return, Roberto, Alex and Jon sit down for an honest conversation about electric vehicles, real ownership experiences and whether switching from petrol to electric actually makes sense in the real world.Roberto opens with a confession: after years of saying he'd never own an EV, he's now seriously considering selling his BMW M2 and making the switch. From there, the conversation explores the realities of EV ownership, including range anxiety, charging, running costs, practicality and how different lifestyles change what makes a good car.Rather than reviewing cars or reading spec sheets, this episode focuses on real-world use, real budgets, and what each of us would actually buy with our own money.In this episode• Why Roberto is reconsidering electric cars after years of resisting them• Alex's long-term experience living with EVs and what he'd change next• Jon's experience with EV ownership, hybrids and reliability challenges• Range anxiety – myth or real problem?• Charging at home vs public charging• How lifestyle and driving habits change what car makes sense• Running costs and the reality of EV ownership day-to-day• The cars we're currently considering buying• Family EVs vs performance EVs vs city cars• What we'd each choose if we had to decide tomorrowThe discussion also covers several popular electric cars currently on the market, including models from Tesla, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, Kia and others as the team compares range, practicality and real-world usability.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and confession: from petrolhead to considering EVs02:25 – Why this episode: honest conversation, no reviews or spec sheets03:10 – Why Roberto's M2 isn't getting used and how this conversation started 04:50 – Alex's EV journey and living with a Polestar 08:50 – Jon's EV history, Nissan issues and going electric again 10:50 – Roberto's Hyundai IONIQ 6 experience and dealership problems13:10 – Realisation: why EVs make sense for city driving15:40 – Running costs, practicality and daily usage20:30 – Range anxiety: myth vs reality and how charging actually works 29:40 – Different lifestyles, commuting and choosing the right EV30:40 – Roberto test driving EVs and reconsidering his stance31:30 – Home charging, solar, and real-world running costs 33:15 – Alex's criteria for his next EV (road trips, range, usability)37:55 – Roberto presents EV shortlist for Alex38:00 – Tesla Model 3 discussion46:00 – Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai and Kia comparisons 49:30 – Counter suggestions and alternative EV options50:10 – Jon's shortlist and priorities for a family EV 01:13:50 – Roberto's current thinking about replacing the M2 01:22:20 – Options, trims and spec pricing discussion01:23:45 – Final thoughts: where each of us stands on EVs 01:25:40 – Outro and wrap-upKey themesOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that there's no single “best” EV.The right choice depends on how you actually use your car, whether you can charge at home, how far you regularly travel, and what matters most: comfort, range, driving experience or practicality.The episode also highlights how quickly EV technology and infrastructure have evolved in recent years, changing the ownership experience significantly compared with earlier electric cars.Listen if you are:• Thinking about buying your first electric car• Curious about real EV ownership rather than marketing claims• A petrolhead wondering whether electric cars are worth considering• Interested in cars, technology and honest conversationsAbout Tailoring Talk MagazineTailoring Talk Magazine is a podcast about style, technology, cars, culture and the things that make modern life interesting, hosted by Roberto Revilla with co-hosts Alex Hansford and Jon Evans.Follow and SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and share it with someone who's thinking about going electric.

221. Roberto here! When my BMW M2 G87 had to go in for some TLC at CT Carbon, I expected a courtesy car with a bit of punch. Maybe another M car. Maybe an RS3. Instead... I was handed a basic, manual MG3.I haven't driven a manual in over 20 years — and I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. But what started as a frustrating downgrade quickly became a surprising day of reflection.In this episode, I review the MG MG3, share what it taught me about the cars we take for granted, and why I ended the day with a whole new appreciation for my BMW — and driving in general.Whether you're into hot hatches, M cars, or just love the open road, this one's for you.What you'll hear:My honest experience with the MG3What it reminded me about the joy of drivingHow it changed the way I view my M2 G87A few thoughts on gratitude and perspective behind the wheel
