Thank you so much for the video! I know far less in historical menswear than in womenswear, so this video is very educational. May I suggest that you pin this comment so that it's the first thing people see when they scroll down?
@@clairezhangyx Thank you so much for your kind comment! I have pinned it now! That was a great idea! I'll be releasing more videos on tailoring and suits in the near future 😁 I also find your channel incredibly helpful in understanding women's fashions!
It's good to see the "younger generations" wearing vintage clothing - especially stiff detachable collars! (We oldies thought we were a dying-out generation!).....Keep it up young man, and your followers. Ray
I am delighted to see younger people embracing the elegance of the past. I wear vintage dresses and the beautiful women's suits from the 50s, which I make for myself. I have taught my granddaughter to appreciate the beauty of fashion from the past. I grew up in the 50s and my grandmother was an expert seamstress, dressed us all beautifully and taught me to make my own clothes. Good job!
I collect pre-war military clothing and I came across one of these shirts and I couldn’t for the life of me work out how the collar was fixed until I watched your video and everything made sense. Never thought I would be watching video about this subject but thank you for all your hard work.👍😀
Running into your channel has made my whole day. I, too, am collar obsessed, and seeing your spectacularly succinct, broad ranging, detailed and well edited video on a topic I've been quietly nuts about since the 1970s brings me bliss. Now, I'm going to check out all your others....
This is such a wonderful comment to receive. Thank you! Someone of your experience and knowledge over the years enjoying my channel is very encouraging! I will try to post more videos in the future!
thank you so so much, as a design student who is currently researching classical and antique womens and mens clothing i have been wondering about how collars used to work and how the chemise would looked like without it. I truly think that the antique style is simply beautiful and it is just so beautiful to wear. Glad to see gentlemen appreciating it. I also truly enjoy the way your videos are edited and your humor, charmingly funny haha. Lovely greetings from Germany!
The tucking of the shirt-tails between the legs is interesting, because something similar exists nowadays with men's dance shirts, which often include buttons in the groin to fasten it between the legs, almost like a leotard. It keeps the shirt smooth and tucked in while executing dance maneuvers.
@@BankruptMonkey Sure, they're called various things with specialized dance-wear retailers: Ballroom dance shirt, competition shirt, dance romper, dance bodysuit, etc. (Not all have buttons though, it depends.) Some mimic the appearance of the shirt and cummerbund worn with a tuxedo, using two-toned patterns on a soft, stretchy material. I'm afraid I don't know where to best find sewing patterns specifically though.
What a fantastic resource for men's period dress! Thank you so much for posting-most of the historical fashion and 'getting dressed' videos I see generally deal with women's fashion, so this is really a treat.
Man, you are a godsend! I've been growing more interested in detachable collars over the last few months(and via them in the rest of the items you presented here), but haven't found really good sources of information about them (I found one of the tie holding studs for example, and had no idea that was what it was for!). I really look forward to the video about starching/making collars, finding affordable places to buy/launder them from belgium has been giving me some trouble... I'm really glad vintagebursche sent me your way, keep it up!
Thanks, this helped me make a pair of detachable kissing cuffs for a tunic shirt, to be worn with a very high wing collar and cravat, for morning dress.
@@luxurreview It took me ages but it's finally finished, mainly because I kept finding things to improve. I can't really find anything to improve now, so in my mind it's done. Sourcing some of the obscure accessories like correct gloves was a bit difficult. l finished the cuffs a couple of weeks ago and also made another tunic shirt out of an old Eton shirt I found in a secondhand store. I'd recommend buying those trousers and the morning coat vintage, but stay away from the ex-rental stock due to weird fit and lower quality (for context I saw a 38R tagged rental coat fit like a 42 or 44). If cost isn't too much of an issue, getting them custom made might be the best option in terms of minimizing hassle and opening up for personalization. I basically got fed up with my local options for morning wear, decided to get mine custom made, then saved up for it. Not sure about the US, but if you're in the Commonwealth, some of the legal attire supply companies can do the striped trousers for you. They're usually a made to measure item due to their obscurity, which is nice if you want something with pleats and more classically cut. The one I dealt with imports the striped fabric directly from England. I haven't had a chance to wear my ensemble in public yet, but I'm looking forward to it! I got my second top hat (which is an immaculate silk plush top hat) for cheap, and an Edwardian pocket watch and fob this past week, so I have been dying to wear it and show them off. If you're still looking for a morning coat, details like pick stitching, satin covered buttons and silk piping around the lapels can add a really nice touch and help up the formality of your coat, so shouldn't be overlooked.
I’m so glad to see that the Victorian & Edwardian vintage-loving community is getting recognition. I love this video. I could watch things like this for hours. What’s your Instagram?
The part where you struggle to put on the shirt reminds me of the times when us girls put on dresses, which is still a problem today! Some dresses need to have longer zips for easier access! Thank you so much for this video. You even talked about sleeve garters! That has been at the back of my mind whenever I watched movies and the actors wore it, but I never knew why. I thought it's so that the sleeves would stay in place when you put on the jacket, but always thought then the strap should have been closer to the sleeves. I'm rambling, I'm sorry, I really super appreciate this short and informative video! Thank you!
I absolutely adore this :) i feel like there aren't enough antique men's fashion TH-camrs out there for our age range haha or really men who are interested in this in general. Outstanding job!
stumbled across this when doing research for fashionable bibs and had no idea they already existed! I love the idea of modernizing the layers of victorian fashion
Lovely videos. I'm enjoying them very much. Antique clothing is exceedingly interesting. You make excellent explanations of both the history and use of them. I appreciate your offerings on this channel very much indeed. Cheers!🙂
I subscribe to your channel because of my interest in history. I find it fascinating how much attention was paid to the smallest details of clothing, male and female. Your videos are educational and done with a sense of humour...I've learned so much from you.
This was a great video! While my interest in clothing is fixed a bit earlier than what you show on your channel I enjoy watching every video anyway. Your sense of humour conveyed in your editing is a delight to see and I always learn a lot. Keep up the good work, thank you!
I found him through another creator who does historical clothing. History is what brought me here, his humor and knowledge are what keep me coming back. 😉
Do you ladies watch Bernadette Banner and Abby Cox videos too? I came across her channel while looking for vintage men’s clothes videos. They are amazing artists and crafts women. The dresses are so beautiful! I was so impressed , I subscribed.
Never thought guys had fiddly clothes, I thought that the most they had to deal with was a three piece suit with tie and pocket square. But my goodness they had just about as much of a faff as the women back then, eh?🤔 Thank you for another great video, you taught me some things I didn't ever know I needed to know. (Never would have thought that this was an avenue to research. So thank you for this.) Definitely worth the wait. Stay safe. 😁
I love learning stuff like this! Would love a video on different tie and scarf styles: cravates, bow ties, straight ties et.c. and how men and women's ties and scarves were different and similar. Anything like that coming up?
Something about the first few seconds of the video is so charming! The way you fall into the frame is flawless! The glowing collar, the charming and polite suit. Excellent, impressive delivery!
Splendid video, as always. I have been wearing antique clothing for 6-7 years now and I still find it a struggle to get the tie underneath the club collar. I always need at least an hour to get ready before my day can start! 😅
Finally some one else who is interested in and wears this kind of thing!!! I have been looking for this since the early 1990s. What a delight to come across you and I look forward to exploring your other videos. Thank you.
This is a great history lesson and a demo on how to wear these collars. I LOVE vintage and classic menswear but I draw the line at these infernal things! I admire your dedication and patience in using detachable collars :)
Love this video. On a whim I bought some detachable collars last year and haven't had the chance to wear them or even begin to know how to attach them successfully. I will for sure be referring to this video once the world is back to normal.
I loved your video. I remember as a child some of the men in my family, or were family friends, still wearing detachable collars on "formal" occasions. Daddy had all kinds of cuff links, pins and clips in his jewelry box. I loved digging through it and him explaining what everything was and how it worked. Great memories. Thank you 🤍
Good afternoon sir , my compliments to you for producing this video . I recently wore a starched shirt with a detachable collar after being advised to do so by my father . The collar looked like one to be found on the average shirt but much better quality . The collar and shirt being white of course .
Yes! I'm really looking forward to learning more about collars. I've been hoping that you would talk about them so this is real treat. This video had some great information, keep up the good work!
There is no doubt that the starched detachable collars are much better looking than today's rather flimsy attached collars. Good video. Is there anyplace that sells detachable collars today at all? If so, please let me know. Thanks.
I have a question How do you go to the bathroom? because i wear a three piece suit with suspenders and i have to unbutton the jacket, the waistcoat, the pocket watch, then find a place to put down the garments and finaly i can lower the suspenders and the throusers. All of this with the hurry and the fear of not making it in time, and you are cold because you are wearing only your shirt Is there a simpler solution? Because back in the days everyone wore suspenders and i find really strange that no one has ever complained about this problem.
Glad to have one. My style is more '50s and '60s but I have custom detachable collar shirt that I wear on occasion with a round collar. I like the idea of combining the old with the new. That yellow shirt is quite nice by the way.
Thank you for this information! I am in the process of making a ladies early 1900s silk blouse This helps a lot in my decision to make the cotton collar and cuffs for it detachable. I was having concerns about how to clean it knowing that the collar and cuffs get dirty easily and silk is not laundered the same as cotton.
Hello great video! I am getting into mens fashion from the same age as you. I like it a lot. My fiancee holds this interest too. So it's turning out to be quite the hobby. Now I am saving up for my first set of "every day" clothing. I am about 3/4 finished with an Edwardian white tie dress as well.
This is experimental archeology!! I imagine myself discovering these studs and collars and bibs...and wondering what the hell are they and how to use them...very nice video, thank you!
You're so helpful and informative, making these tutorials! I figured I'd start out easing into the vintage (I'm going for more of a late-Victorian to early-1900's style) menswear world, by making a pair of 1890's trousers. I haven't started making a shirt yet, because I am a bit scared of it (somehow shirts seem more intimidating than trousers?), so this is very useful indeed!
Super interesting! I was recently in an antique shop that had a big collection of beautiful detachable collars and I'd never seen anything like it so I got curious how it worked (there was one design I was really tempted to by but I had no clue how to wear it so I didn't) and it was quite hard to find any information online before I found this video (part of the issue might've been incorrect search terms since I only saw them and didn't know how to refer to them) Anyway, thanks!
Very cool! I found your video because I just bought a box full of collars and cuffs for $8 at an estate sale. Mostly paper and fabric cuffs, but with the 3 holes you mentioned. And 2 Van Heusen 1913-1921 collars that say Van Jack.
I honestly just love the way the detachable collars shirt look without the collar. Specially the classic light blue shirt, I'd love to have a mock neck type sweater that's light blue, white stripes, with a white collar
Oh this is a awesome and interesting video! I was pleasantly surprised I was doing it correctly with the collar😂 but do you have any modern places to get shirts and cuffs?
@@marioburgos712 yes, but is to difficult to get good fabrics and the cost is to high. When the collars start to get broken i cut them off and i modified it doing two new buttonholes in front and back
The cuffs and collar used in this video are from a small Australian company called RJW Shirts, and they're actually stiff washable garments that don't need the starch.
Where did you manage to find shirts both meant for detachable collars AND cuffs? I can only ever find shirts for detachable collars, but frustratingly they all come with their own attached single barrel cuffs.
I have recently discarded several shirts whose collars had worn out. If I had a detachable collar or two on hand, I might have been able to salvage an otherwise good shirt. Yes, I might have turned the collar, but there were removable collar stays in little pockets on the underside of the collars. Too bad detachable collars have disappeared.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent me here! 😆 I’ve been reading his complete Sherlock Holmes and noticed it’d sometimes mention guys writing notes on their shirt cuffs. I learned from Google that those were sometimes made of paper in the Victorian era, then found this vid to see how they work!
This was fascinating. I'm currently making a bunch of Late Victorian and Early Edwardian shirtwaists to wear with my walking skirts. I've only made ones with attached high collars so far. I definitely want to try making some detachable collars. It's interesting to note the subtle differences between the men's and women's collars in this style with the tongues and button placements.
Found your videos through the gentlemen's gazette. Because of the detachable collars. Heck, drawing character animal characters that have high collars like the detachable ones you both mentioned. thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much for this. I've been making my own clothes for a year now and I have really gotten in to this style but there is so little information about it anywhere. So thanks. This really helps me when I design my own shirt 😎
This was tremendously helpful! I soon intend to be wearing detachable collars (which I shall 3d print) because I can not be bothered to be boiling, ironing, and starching my out-linens on the weekly (however It's something I will be doing for sure). The current look I am going for is modern suits with my favorite features of the 16-19th centuries. It may make the traditionalists recoil in utter horror but I like to use Sam Browne studs as a cheap alternative to fancier studs.
Thank you for posting this very informative video! I like to dress in 1920's clothing when showing my antique cars. I have gathered several sets of used cuffs, collars and some miscellaneous accessories. But, your video helped me figure out how to use all these items together. Can you share some links to company's that still make collars and cuffs for men today. I am guessing they are all located in England. Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much for showing how to put a tie into a heavily starched collar. Got one like that, took me around 25 minutes to get the tie right haha. Can't believe I didn't think of that :D

As a 15 years old guy, that likes to wear vintage... Yes, the style is dying.

We had to wear detachable collars at school and now I wear them for work. My tip is if you rub soap inside them they are slightly less painful

I haven't started making a shirt yet, because I am a bit scared of it (somehow shirts seem more intimidating than trousers?), so this is very useful indeed!
Absolutely fascinating I’m really enjoying this Chanel
Super interesting! I was recently in an antique shop that had a big collection of beautiful detachable collars and I'd never seen anything like it so I got curious how it worked (there was one design I was really tempted to by but I had no clue how to wear it so I didn't) and it was quite hard to find any information online before I found this video (part of the issue might've been incorrect search terms since I only saw them and didn't know how to refer to them)
Anyway, thanks!
Very cool! I found your video because I just bought a box full of collars and cuffs for $8 at an estate sale. Mostly paper and fabric cuffs, but with the 3 holes you mentioned. And 2 Van Heusen 1913-1921 collars that say Van Jack.
Please make a video about how to iron clothing!
I honestly just love the way the detachable collars shirt look without the collar. Specially the classic light blue shirt, I'd love to have a mock neck type sweater that's light blue, white stripes, with a white collar
Oh this is a awesome and interesting video! I was pleasantly surprised I was doing it correctly with the collar😂 but do you have any modern places to get shirts and cuffs?
Here un Argentina is imposible to get that kind of shirts
@@DandyMillennial1 I can confirm that's sadly true :( The only way available is to find the materials and make them yourself.
@@marioburgos712 yes, but is to difficult to get good fabrics and the cost is to high. When the collars start to get broken i cut them off and i modified it doing two new buttonholes in front and back
The cuffs and collar used in this video are from a small Australian company called RJW Shirts, and they're actually stiff washable garments that don't need the starch.
Antique Menswear oh that’s awesome! Thank you so much!
I trully love your videos ...I enjoyed the history under the collars and cuffs... I would like to wear them one day... great videos from vintage wear.
Where did you manage to find shirts both meant for detachable collars AND cuffs? I can only ever find shirts for detachable collars, but frustratingly they all come with their own attached single barrel cuffs.
nice introduce, really help me to understand detachable collar!! learn a lot!!
Loved the video, and I was hoping if you could tell me where did you buy those cuffs
There was so much information.
I just loved every detail!!
Good job my man!!
I have recently discarded several shirts whose collars had worn out. If I had a detachable collar or two on hand, I might have been able to salvage an otherwise good shirt. Yes, I might have turned the collar, but there were removable collar stays in little pockets on the underside of the collars. Too bad detachable collars have disappeared.
0:01 - yes, I do love me some random Edwardian dapper dude respawning out in the mornin
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent me here! 😆 I’ve been reading his complete Sherlock Holmes and noticed it’d sometimes mention guys writing notes on their shirt cuffs. I learned from Google that those were sometimes made of paper in the Victorian era, then found this vid to see how they work!
What was that tie adjusting witchcraft?
Bewildered! Ties, and all the secrets they carry, continue to evade me.
Did men actually wear wool pants in summer? Were there dry cleaners back than ?
Excellent video , really not much on this topic . Thanks 👍🏻
This was fascinating. I'm currently making a bunch of Late Victorian and Early Edwardian shirtwaists to wear with my walking skirts. I've only made ones with attached high collars so far. I definitely want to try making some detachable collars. It's interesting to note the subtle differences between the men's and women's collars in this style with the tongues and button placements.
Found your videos through the gentlemen's gazette.
Because of the detachable collars. Heck, drawing character animal characters that have high collars like the detachable ones you both mentioned.
thanks for your videos.
I can’t wait for that washing and starching video!
very helpful to understand every detail, thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I've been making my own clothes for a year now and I have really gotten in to this style but there is so little information about it anywhere. So thanks. This really helps me when I design my own shirt 😎
This was tremendously helpful! I soon intend to be wearing detachable collars (which I shall 3d print) because I can not be bothered to be boiling, ironing, and starching my out-linens on the weekly (however It's something I will be doing for sure). The current look I am going for is modern suits with my favorite features of the 16-19th centuries. It may make the traditionalists recoil in utter horror but I like to use Sam Browne studs as a cheap alternative to fancier studs.
I'd love to see this when you're finished!!
Antique Menswear Great! I will let you know soon after, my friend. It will likely be a video.
Can you wear a collar clip with a stiff starched collar?
This is amazing, such a great way to add variety to a wardrobe with just a small amount of actual material :D Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, all my questions were answered and I am much smarter now, I'm off to sew some detachables now :)
Apprieciate the video! Going as Arthur Morgan for Comic-Con so this will be useful.
Thank you for posting this very informative video! I like to dress in 1920's clothing when showing my antique cars. I have gathered several sets of used cuffs, collars and some miscellaneous accessories. But, your video helped me figure out how to use all these items together. Can you share some links to company's that still make collars and cuffs for men today. I am guessing they are all located in England. Thanks for the help!
Excellent history! Very accurate!
This video is informative. It's kinda hard to find tutorials of vintage clothing online.
Keep up the good work!
That was very informative. Where do I get this stuff and hopefully not spend too much money?
Today i was just thinking that it was a few weeks since your last upload and then i looked at my notifications... Very well done!
Thank you so much for showing how to put a tie into a heavily starched collar. Got one like that, took me around 25 minutes to get the tie right haha. Can't believe I didn't think of that :D
