7:04 you should look into British royalty to get some advice on white tie. Fred astaire is also a great person. That what it looks like if you lissen to his advice.
I've seen several channels do this, you're the first one that actually offers some tips/constructive critiques rather than saying everything is ok, which imo is the point of doing this in the first place, otherwise might as well post photos on instagram for likes.
Youre the best vintage mens channel out there. This is a good way to draw us vintage guys together. There really isnt a presence on youtube yet for men. Vintage women dominate the genre. So, thanks for giving us a place to congregate. You did a good job at critiquing everyone. It was kind and very helpful to us all.
This really shows the difference between classical menswear and women's vintage. Because even if you can't find the exact piece you want, there will be a historic pattern available (often online for free), and for the 1920's there are many day outfits that can be made in an afternoon - like Morgan Donner's "one hour dress".
I don't like clichés, but "I am 17 and I love this". I really like the way you make your videos. You are doing a great job. As you know, there are some other men who do this kind of videos, but from my point of view some of them don't have this kind of "friendly" approach (towards the viewer), I feel they consider themselves a bit superior. Now of course that's just how I see it, I really resonate with how you do the things. Big like, thank you. Greetings from Romania!
Well, I’m a woman who love 50s and 60s vintage, and have been wearing vintage for years. I always love classic man wear. I recently just shave my head because I got board during quarantine and wanted to know what my head looks like.... Then I decided to introduce myself to men’s fashion. I been watching your videos for hours today, and really enjoy it. I thought men’s fashion doesn’t change much as the time goes by, but now I know it has so many details to take care of. The worst thing is I am having a hard time finding a vintage pattern that I like. I heard you have a sewing book and are working on the English version, definitely will buy it when it’s finished
I also recommend looking into tailor and couture technique books, the knowledge from these books and good fabric choices will help a lot of cheap patterns go from costume-like to sophisticated
I like the way you offer positive and informed advice to these younger guys on their sartorial journey. I'm 48 and am on my own journey with the view to develop a classic men's style: loving my vintage suits and ties; every much enjoying hats and quality shoes. I'm subscribed :-) Would like to see more of content like this. Thanks/Danke Anthony
As a historybounding young lady, it's nice to see more well-dressed young gentlemen, it feels like guys never really get to dress well unless forced to in corporate America or formal events. I hope more men get to embrace bygone era fashion, can't wait to see more.
@@caitlynmeadors4170 Unsure umm ok then why did you click if you feel unsure about that? Like really unsure if he dresses like this? What you rather them dress like they do right now? Men dress for ourselves not for you guys.
I’m a trans guy looking to get into classic menswear but I haven’t really worn anything vintage up till now so this channel has been a huge help. Keep doing what you’re doing :)
So you're a chick who can't reconcile dressing masculine as a female w/o changing your whole identity. Congrats! 👏🏻 Being a tomboy too mainstream for you? Or are you going to go whole hog and f**k up your body too?
I just discovered your fun channel. You sewed the heck out of that corset a couple videos ago- which couldn’t have been simple. I don’t see why you couldn’t construct your own suits. That’s a journey I’d like to watch! PS: One of the tragedies of vintage is that you still to this day might find the correct suit somewhere, but the shoes are impossible to duplicate unless you have a cobbler. 😊
So nice to see men who are into classic style. I spotted that in the vintage mafia look the pocket watch chain hasn't been secured correctly. The large hook should be hooked to the edge of the waistcoat where buttons have been sown onto. That way when the wearer closes those buttons the hook is in no danger of dropping and it will be hidden underneath the layer where buttonholes are the same time. Sorry if this explanation is a bit unintelligible. I have more practice in hooking those watch chains than telling others how it is done.
I work at a bank and find the dress code mildly soul sucking, so i’ve been considering perhaps taking on a more vintage, 1920’s ish aesthetic at work just for the hell of it :) this channel is a very useful resource
Love it! As a vintage wearing ‘lock and co’ hat model , your videos affirm my fashion choices - it is a tough journey in the current atmosphere in the UK, where a forced casual is the norm and the wearing of anything ‘formal’ is greeted with hostility and scorn and even missiles! However, thank you Sir as I have found your videos very affirming and inspiring and have made me feel less alone and isolate in my fashion choices. Now I’m heading out on my Penny Farthing to face yet further scorn. Thanks to all the guys who sent in pictures, they all look amazing!
For the guys who put their photos in for this thank you! Some of the critiques were also helpful for me as a trans guy trying to suit myself better ❤ especially since some modern American suiting is almost form fitting 😅 which isn’t quite my style.
I'm not a men but I'm all for your looks, it's quite brave to let someone judge your look thank you for that! Your criticism are a delight, you are very attentive to details, materials, and what makes a good look overall so I loved that video!!
Really awesome to see more guys exploring older styles to find what best suits their personal taste and shape! Fascinating to hear about adjustment tools like the cork hatband insert too, had no idea that was a thing... Thank you everyone who shared their pictures, that's a brave thing to do online 👏and a useful teaching tool for others who're exploring similar options.
Woah, I didn't expect to be the first one in the video hahaha. I gotta say that I look endomorphic because I had a few more pounds than I should which I've since lost hahaha. Thank you very much for your critique! And congratulations on you now almost 9k subscribers 😁
Me a vintage girl who just got a Audrey heptburn short cut watched this whole thing and now for some reason I have decided it’s a good idea to also wear suits.
I found this very enjoyable to watch is their any thought of making another cause if so I’d enjoy it, and I’d probably send a photo of my own since I’ve been looking for someone to give me constructive citizen.
Want to try the styles that I see in the BBC series 'All Creatures Great and Small'. I really like the rural looks with the tweeds and sweaters. I purchased a few sweaters and wool ties but am looking to find a decent tweed jacket and trousers.
Love your channel… I subscribed …I am using your advice for a part I will be attending in Venice…theme The Orient Express 1920’s through 1930’s … by the way I believe the correct term for those caps is a News Boy Cap…not sure if that might be a regional thing.
Thank you for all the great advice! You really pointed out some things that I have in fact not paid attention to. I never knew why one unbuttons the lowest button on a waiscoat. The necktie that I put on is really thick and doesn't move at all inside the collar. I had to tie the necktie prior to putting on the collar. I am wondering, what ties can you recommend? Are old/classic ties thinner?
The thickness is independent from the ties age, but older ones are usually thinner. If you dare, you can also remove thr interlining from an existing tie that is to thick for your taste.
The Hat is a Stetson! (Cowboy Hat). Looks like a smaller variant to the "Proper" Western Hat. In My Eyes it somehow looks funny on this slim guy. Either a real western Hat or something like the Homburg.
Not commonly seen, it is kind of forman, or city western hat. The Stetson Open Road. Though I think it is immortalized as the "Modern County Sherrif" type hat. By the way .... X is a measure of the quality of the fur that is felted to make the hat, so a 6X hat like this is pretty damn good. stetson.com/collections/hats/products/open-road-6x-cowboy-hat-silverbelly
Yes it totally ruins the whole balance, the waistcoat needs to worn no lower than where a cummerbund would sit, it's only really there to hide the join with the very top of the trousers and the sides of the bib
What do you think about a suggestion of Ethan Wong, of Street x Sprezza blog - he says that he buys chinos and trousers from modern shops but gets them 1 or 2 sizes larger so he just goes to a tailor and he gets them modified to have a nice high waisted pair of trousers?
I don't think that 1 or 2 sizes offer that more rise. I'd rather suggest going secondhand, because older trousers most of the time have a higher rise. And on top of that a lot of brands now have high waisted pants like SJC. Even SuitSupply now offers fishtail trousers!
Ich hatte son leichtes Deja-Vu bei dem Typen von 11.05 da ich seine Krawatte und seinen Hut ebenfalls besitze xD...und ich kann sagen, dass der Hut aus dem H&M oder ähnlichen Läden stammt.
What do you have to do to go out in one of these? I would like to participate in one of these videos and know what you think is my friend style, a pleasure, greetings
Hi, It’s been some time now I’m following you, and I agree with all of your talks. I lack of some knowledge about vintage style, would you help me ? I wear an Albert chain, but looking for a double WITH Drop, but I got no idea of what accessory we must put at the end of this chain.. and I went some vintage thrifts and none of em could help.. do you are the man of the situation. Will follow you on instagram if you have one. I wish you a good one, and thx a lot.
hey vintagebursche i wanted to ask how i can share my outfit with you and hopefully end up in one of your videos i always appreciate advice from someone who is expierenced! :)
Is it possible to go to a tailor with a cheap polyester suit? I dont have the budget for a good suit but at least I want the fit to be as good as possible. I know that something like the shoulders need to be good of the rack. I want to change the waist so it fits better and the length of the arms and the lenght of the trousers. And how much would it cost? Antworten auch gern auf Deutsch. Thank you!
Natürlich geht das. Statt eines neuen Polyester-Monsters, würde ich einen Anzug aber lieber Second-Hand einkaufen und damit zum Änderungsschneider. In den örtlichen Sozialkaufhäusern (in Köln zB Humana oder fairstore) findet man immer was für wenig Geld und davon hat man dann länger was als vom Polyestermüll. Die meisten Änderungen kosten in der Regel zwischen 10 und 50 Euro, je nachdem wie aufwendig. Hose kürzen ist zB einfach, Ärmel an der Schulter kürzen ist dagegen eher aufwendig.
Does anyone know a company that sells good pocket squares in size 40*40cm? I would like to spend about 30€ for each one and can not find a rather good quality brand. Any recommendations?
Well done to the gents brave enough to put themselves out there and send their photo in! Great insights, very constructive.

The Tiebar in the last picture goes all the way across the tie. 80% would be appropiate. Get a wider tie or a shorter tie bar. Grüße aus Köln!
We all have to start somewhere. My first vintage style "suit" looked atrocious, I'd erase it from memory if i could.
The biggest mistake with White Tie is allowing the waistcoat to peek underneath the tailcoat.
Yes it totally ruins the whole balance, the waistcoat needs to worn no lower than where a cummerbund would sit, it's only really there to hide the join with the very top of the trousers and the sides of the bib
"If you really wanted to go for a Mafia Look, wear a suit that doesn't fit you."
As for the third guy, the brim of his top hat is too wide. He needs either a longer jacket, or a shorter vest.
What do you think about a suggestion of Ethan Wong, of Street x Sprezza blog - he says that he buys chinos and trousers from modern shops but gets them 1 or 2 sizes larger so he just goes to a tailor and he gets them modified to have a nice high waisted pair of trousers?

I think that the fourth guy’s sleeves may be too long. Maybe that’s why he has his hands in his pockets.
5:55 the dude looks like a discount hitman/agent 47
I like Daniels Mr. Bean outfit
As for the fifth guy, one should wear a bow tie only with a v-neck sweater. Otherwise everything is too crowed.
What is the name of that last jacket and color ? Loved that style
Ich hatte son leichtes Deja-Vu bei dem Typen von 11.05 da ich seine Krawatte und seinen Hut ebenfalls besitze xD...und ich kann sagen, dass der Hut aus dem H&M oder ähnlichen Läden stammt.

You’re right. This sixth guy needs thicker socks. Wool or something organic.
What do you have to do to go out in one of these? I would like to participate in one of these videos and know what you think is my friend style, a pleasure, greetings
The seventh guy should put his phone in his jacket and get rid of the tie bar.
Will you make more videos like this one?
What is your approach in finding wider neckties ? I am 6'-6" tall (167.6 cm). My ties look so "stringbean" skinny around the area of the knot.
Where did Richard get his hat?
