I'm having flashbacks to cartoons where some fat guy's collar rolls up and hits his face for comedic effect and it all makes more sense now. I don't remember wheter it was just one cartoon or comic or if it was a bigger trope but this kind of blew my mind Great video!
Good sir we have a community here that would die to hear more about historical men's wear!!! You have a calm and clear voice, passion for the subject and you link sources!!!!❤
Karolina Żebrowska sent me here, and I say, good show! I hope to see more in the future; you show great promise. Best of luck, have one of your first subs! Canes would be nice to see in the future as well.
we see so much about about women’s historical clothing (which is still wonderful), but we never see anything about men’s clothing! thank you for educating us all and i hope you continue to make more videos on this subject. :)
As my first venture into TH-cam, I am overwhelmed by all the wonderful comments I am getting on TH-cam as well as instagram; and also all the wonderful photographs that you guys are sending me of your antiques and collectables on instagram! There are so many types of bibs/shirt fronts/dickies that I simply couldn't show or talk about (because I don't have any examples) out there that you guys are now sharing with me! I almost want to make a part two! Thank you so much!
welcome to Costube! Video suggestion: What a day of dress looks like for the Victorian upper class/ working class man? I like the catchphrase "end of video. Done!"
Sent here by Karolina Żebrowska! You have a great voice and presence for this, and you're very clear and informative in a pleasant and relaxed way, _and_ you show sources and credit people with links! Excellent work!
This was a really good video!! So very cool to see more information about men's clothes. But the yellow writing is a little hard to read PS: also very interested in cane history. That sounds awesome
You’re spot on about the waistcoat. As a Butler I see so many men in three pieces where the waistcoat’s outline follows the jacket to the point where they might as well not be wearing one.
I'm super into women's fashion from this time but I love seeing more stuff about menswear. It's definitely something that isn't talked about as much but it's really interesting and I'm looking forward to more videos. Also, if I may give some unsolicited advice: to make captions and text easier to read try using white text with a black outline, it's can make text visible over any color background.
Thank you SO MUCH for the sound gag at 4:10-4:17! As someone who appreciates slapstick comedy from the Vaudevillian/Music Hall era, sounds effects like this always make me smile, chuckle, and bring me back to my inner child ^_^
Never trust a man who wears detachable cuffs. Such men are trying to get rich at the expense of their washer. Brilliant work! Glad to see you on TH-cam!
This is great! I love how informative you are. You also have a nice, calm energy. I'm really interested in past men's fashion, so I hope you do more! 😄
If I remember correctly, George Darling is wearing a fake "shirt" like this in Disney's Peter Pan. I was very confused about this detail as a kid, because the dub said "This is the clean shirt!", and it was, well, obviously not a shirt.
Very commendable and informative video! Would you consider reviewing film costumes or the like in the future? I would personally be intrested in the history of certain pieces of clothing (i.e. suits, waistcoats etc.) and perhaps to some extent how one would go about starting to dress akin to late victorian and edwardian style. I hope you keep up this channel and look forward to hopefully more content!
Hi! Monocles were made to size, so that they fit perfectly in the space between browbone and undereye, and could not be used by anyone but the person they were made for. This is why it is a stereotype for rich people, as it took a lot of money to buy these, in a time where some people struggled to eat. This is also where the comicial action of the rich man being so surprised that his monocle falls down, comes from, since it could not stay on the eye, when streching the eyebrows upwards, as it was made for a perfect "relaxed" fit. I hope this helps 😊
Ea Blab would i be correct in supposing they would fit a little better in older age since, for want of a better expression, the skin and eyebrows would be more saggy?
Hello Aaron, nice video, the photos of the amputees were interesting. Great collection of bibs too. May I point out that the cuffs, bib and collar were actually attached to a long sleeved shirt that pretty much looks like an ordinary dress shirt except it didn't have cuffs or a collar. I have one. The underwear shown in your video was worn under the shirt. The purpose of the detachable bibs and cuffs was the same as detachable collars: To save cost on laundering. With patterned bibs and cuffs made from quality patterned material there was also a cost saving benefit as opposed to making a whole shirt out of the material (as you pointed out). I don't believe it was ever about reducing heat, one would simply switch to a lighter weight material suit and a summer style union suit. Also no collars or bibs were ever made from actual rubber. They were made from celluloid however a company had "celluloid" trademarked and other manufacturer's had to call it something different, rubber was one of them. Cheers, Baron
Hello, Baron! I tried to reply to you earlier, good Sir! I know we've already had a conversation regarding this, and I thank you kindly for the information, and I'm commenting here just to make sure I haven't mislead anybody into thinking that these are the ONLY type of shirt Victorian men wore, because that simply is not true; of course there are the full shirts that I can't wait to talk about in another video! :D
Karolina Zebrowska recommended taking a look, and I'm pleased I have. Nice to see mens historical fashion for a change. Very informative, and nice to see the original clothing you have. You have enlightened me as to the braces fixings. My grandad whom was born in 1897 and died in the 1970's had these braces in amongst his things when he passed away and I could never figure out how on earth they were attached to his trousers, I'd only seen modern braces that have a grab fixture. Hope you can make a go of showing mens clothing styles.
Well done first video! Likeable, conversational, and a bit scandalous! Love it. I’d be interested in a video about why or how you became interested in antique menswear.
In the David Lean movie "Hobson's Choice" the main character carefully changes from his cuffs and collar and I always wondered if it was accurate. Very cool to know that it is! (Also a great movie). Hope you make more videos, I have three brothers who all want antique style clothing!
this answered so many of my questions from reading 19th century books. like why men wrote notes on their cuffs. please keep these videos coming! And see if Bernadette or someone can sew you some historically accurate undergarments 😅
Thanks for the names of the ticket pocket in the jacket, and the frogmouth pocket in the trousers, as I had been seeing these features lately. Ladies' fashions also had shirtfronts called plastrons in the 1880-90s, and ones called vestee in the 1910s were, perhaps, sewn to the garment.
Bibs are genius inventions. Shirts look quite bulky under sweaters or vests. We should be using them more often. And it is quite nice to see a video about antique men's fashion. I hope you make more videos. And since now you are in Japan, antique Japanese fashion can be a really interesting topic.
I just discovered your channel yesterday, and am enjoying your informative and enthusiastic videos. I collected a few similar items when I was your age and really enjoyed exploring it. My mother taught me how to starch shirts and collars when I was growing up, and I still sometimes do my own that way. I have a suggestion on the double collars, especially the club collars. When you stand them to fully dry and stiffen, loosely tie a necktie around the outside of each one. It prevents any spread while they are stiffening, and really makes them look smart, especially the closed-front types. An experience I'd like to share -- in my Ohio home town there was a family owned men's clothier that opened in 1866 and closed about 20 years ago. For their entire 130+ years in business, they often moved unsold clothing into their attic at the end of a season and never retrieved it. So there were racks of never-worn men's clothing from all these decades in varying states of care, and they began selling them off at a local antique shop. I bought a few items but was of too modest means to buy much then. It was so much fun seeing the real things and imagining them on that floor 100 years earlier.
I love your video, well done, looking forward to more, there is always so much of women's historical fashion (from what I have seen) so this was amazing to see this! In a future video would you care to show some of your favourite items in your collections like hats, monocles, waistcoats and ect, and share some tips and advice on starting a collection of antique/ historical collections, or touching on the majority of public opinion, if that is possible and thank you for the lovely the video :)
Mr. Darling from Peter Pan has a shirt front... There's a whole bit with him getting ready, and Michael and John using his shirt for a map, and his cufflinks as buried treasure. xD Also, meme mom sent me. Hi!
In clerical wear we still do a lot of it. T-shirt under the cassock, with a floating clerical collar attached to a black silk bib inside the cassock, and fake cuffs, specially during summer.
This was VERY enlightening! I honestly had no idea they faked the shirts back then and had always thought the bibs were for tuxedo shirts! 30 seconds in I then understood Chaplin's costume (which makes all the more sense since he is supposed to be dressed like an 1880's banker).
Fascinating! Reminds me of Peter Wimsey’s disquisition on the varieties of malfunctioing shirtfronts in Gaudy Night - mid-30s, of course, but still common, evidently. I’m sure you find the passage as memorable as I do! Have just had your channel brought to my attention, and enjoyed the whole thing very much. Wishing you a safe and swift recovery!
Love vintage men’s ware :) keep making videos! I’m interested in making reproductions more than collecting the real thing. It is hard however to get the look and the feel of an object because it isn’t something that can be described well through old photos alone (even new photos of extant garments and accessories). I definitely want to see more!
@@AntiqueMenswear That would be excellent! I am also making my own reproductions as well. If your interested in some old movies that show more layers of clothing in society (with detail in the clothes) Hobson's Choice shows a "detachable bosom", collar and cuffs in use.
I worked briefly in Brent Menswear, a shop in N London and in 1982ish we still occasionally called shirts C/As or collars attached. It was printed on the shelving too
Wait, those stiff bibs were a real thing!!!, I remember those from old cartoons like Tom and Jerry. I figured it wasn't real, kinda like how shows like to depict a crinoline flying up when the woman sat. That's really cool!!
Came from Karolina's channel. I want to see absolutely everything in your collection you mentioned with similar historical commentary. Glad you started up and keep them coming!
This is the first of your videos I have watched, very interesting and as you where saying in the bits you had made several years ago you seemed very confident, which is a problem with most of peoples early videos, my meaning being the person lacking confidence.
Hence the saying - as long as collar and cuffs match! Also the regular complete shirts were made so you could put paper collars and cuffs on them ( these were the parts that got soiled easily so were discarded). Love your video
I recently wanted to recreate late 19th century drawers and came across a pair with Brace tapes and hand sewn buttons. they are loops to thread the brace loops through and they hold up the drawers about half an inch above the trousers. It would seem to suggest that the trousers were unlined and these drawers were more of a lining than underwear. The fly naturally opens when worn at the waist. It came as shock to think that the Dress shirt was tucked in first and served as a hygiene layer for body fluids from neck to knee and the open fly would offer support if the shirt was bloused a bit in the front. The examples you have in your video and a few of working class men have the drawers peeking at the waist. In the cutters literature of the time the shirts are called negligee shirts with front button models called coat shirts with the left panel sweeping from center front out to the mid right thigh. great information
Actually, the look at 1:58 looks lize Zidane's attire in FF9, sort of. Anyway, I instantly subbed, we need more history on menswear. No pressure though, just do what you feel like doing!
Excited to have more videos about these kind of things! Finally antique mens fashion!! Also your voice is lovely, this was very relaxing yet informative and funny to see
Hey there! I just got this recomended by a spanish friend of mine and this has been very helpful for me (as I live in a tropical island, so thank you so much) and I can't wait to see more of your videos!
Sir, your videos are engaging, as well as usefully informative; good social history and a boon to all gentlemen who wish to dress en epoque. My grateful thanks. Your name should be on the next Birthday Honours List.
This is actually really amazing. It's neat to see that vain people are still vain people in any time period. It's easy to see the pictures from the past and assume they reflect reality. I never took the time to think about the effort people in the past had taken to imitate wealth. It's cool to see a real representation of the lengths people would of gone to trying to impress their peers. Nothing's really changed! Thank you for taking the time to show this. I subscribed. Hope to see more like this!
youtube recommended you to me and this is so incredibly fascinating! I love how you calmly explain everything and this was sooo cool to see. Not enough people talk about historical menswear which is what I'm way more interested in. Thank you, new sub and I look forward to more from you!
Great video :) very informative and quite entertaining. I would love to see something on evening wear or possibly differences between edwardian and victorian fashion ;)
As for t-shirts (under shirts) I would wear the 3 button t-shirt from Carhartt or Dickies whenever I would wear a Victorian Era clothing. And Carhartt does make the best 3 button down t-shirts because the fabric is good enough to last a lot longer than regular t-shirts. Also Dickies makes the best 3 button t-shirts you can get them from Amazon.
Do you know the shop fogeyunlimited? That can be a place to find vintage styled undergarments! Ive gotten a york front boxers and long sleeve under shirt from there before, theres also a one piece union suit as well in the shop.
As only a voice from the future can attest to, I'd say there is plenty of interest in Victorian fashion for men. I only recently found your channel in my feed as it goes along with so much of those I follow ( only 2 others are male because they were with the females of interest to me) so I'm very glad to see your very first upload & even more so to see you are nearing EIGHT THOUSAND subscribers in just two years! Looking forward to seeing many more of your vids & hopefully we will see your girlfriend & yourself dressed to the nines for a night on the town? Wishing you continued prosperity with your lifestyle & channel.
I'm having flashbacks to cartoons where some fat guy's collar rolls up and hits his face for comedic effect and it all makes more sense now. I don't remember wheter it was just one cartoon or comic or if it was a bigger trope but this kind of blew my mind
Great video!
Loony Toons did this and yes, I recall very much those skits - which tells you how old the jokes were!
Disney's Peter Pan? That's what this vid make me think of. The dad in that movie was fat.
It's parodied often! You can see it in Looney Tunes as well as Disney's Peter Pan!
Almost every cartoon character who had a """tuxedo""" did that joke.

In which video she mentioned him ?
Sir, I would love to see more suspenders. Also, if you could compare the historical ones to the cheap modern ones that'd be fab as well
oh thank GOD there's finally a historical menswear channel. bless you. is there a chance you'll be covering early to mid 20th century fashion?
He is only going to cover late Victorian and early Edwardian era. But his collars and bibs could be used for the mid century fashion too.

Very interesting video! You are a good speaker.
I was always intrigued by the eyewear, like how does a monocle stay on your face and not fall down?
Akkie I’ve always wondered that.
It seems really uncomfortable
Hi! Monocles were made to size, so that they fit perfectly in the space between browbone and undereye, and could not be used by anyone but the person they were made for. This is why it is a stereotype for rich people, as it took a lot of money to buy these, in a time where some people struggled to eat.
This is also where the comicial action of the rich man being so surprised that his monocle falls down, comes from, since it could not stay on the eye, when streching the eyebrows upwards, as it was made for a perfect "relaxed" fit.
I hope this helps 😊
@@eablab519 thanks so much! i always wondered about that!

Yes, modern fast fashion still uses them,at least in women fashion. I have one from vero moda from when I still was buying that stuff...
Men, you have an amazing talent for communicates your love for this things to others. Thank you so much for your labour
Sir, your videos are engaging, as well as usefully informative; good social history and a boon to all gentlemen who wish to dress en epoque. My grateful thanks. Your name should be on the next Birthday Honours List.
This is actually really amazing. It's neat to see that vain people are still vain people in any time period. It's easy to see the pictures from the past and assume they reflect reality. I never took the time to think about the effort people in the past had taken to imitate wealth. It's cool to see a real representation of the lengths people would of gone to trying to impress their peers. Nothing's really changed! Thank you for taking the time to show this. I subscribed. Hope to see more like this!
John Mills in Hobsons Choice is a good example of the false shirt front. Great video 👍
Yes! Charles Laughton in the same film wears one, attached to shirts!
You should make a video explaining where you can buy a lot of this Edwardian/Late Victorian period fashion!
Love the video. May I ask where do get your trousers, and how do you measure yourself for fitting?
Hope u do more videos 💗
Hope to see another video from you soon!
I follow you on instagram, I'm really glad to see you've started a TH-cam channel! I'm very interested in hearing from you 😊
Karolina sent me as well, and I’m very glad she did!
youtube recommended you to me and this is so incredibly fascinating! I love how you calmly explain everything and this was sooo cool to see. Not enough people talk about historical menswear which is what I'm way more interested in. Thank you, new sub and I look forward to more from you!
Subscribing because I want more! I love this content! Just the info I've been looking for. 👍
Great first video 👍☺️
Also, I’m gonna start getting my clerical bobs made with this extended collar band. Great idea.
I looked up your videos because of Chaplin's antics! ☺️🙌 Very cool info! 🙌
I’d be happy to see more of your extant pieces!!
Great video :) very informative and quite entertaining. I would love to see something on evening wear or possibly differences between edwardian and victorian fashion ;)
As for t-shirts (under shirts) I would wear the 3 button t-shirt from Carhartt or Dickies whenever I would wear a Victorian Era clothing. And Carhartt does make the best 3 button down t-shirts because the fabric is good enough to last a lot longer than regular t-shirts. Also Dickies makes the best 3 button t-shirts you can get them from Amazon.
Do you know the shop fogeyunlimited? That can be a place to find vintage styled undergarments! Ive gotten a york front boxers and long sleeve under shirt from there before, theres also a one piece union suit as well in the shop.
End of video is now your catchphrase, congratulations!
As only a voice from the future can attest to, I'd say there is plenty of interest in Victorian fashion for men. I only recently found your channel in my feed as it goes along with so much of those I follow ( only 2 others are male because they were with the females of interest to me) so I'm very glad to see your very first upload & even more so to see you are nearing EIGHT THOUSAND subscribers in just two years! Looking forward to seeing many more of your vids & hopefully we will see your girlfriend & yourself dressed to the nines for a night on the town? Wishing you continued prosperity with your lifestyle & channel.
Just found your site. That's that was super interesting.
