I get so excited when I see there’s a new video from Prior Attire. I’m a little bit late as I was giving my kitten a bath (not easy) as his paws and back legs were sticky. This is the perfect way to relax after that ordeal (for both of us!) Fantastic workmanship and beautiful clothing. Lucas looks very dapper.
Most elegant and dashing you make a lovely couple!! So sweet that you share this love of the old and fashionable!! I enjoy you both very much!! Please carry on!!
A very attractive gentleman, is Lucas. I have a little objection to the powdering process. They would not use powder without protective sheets and for powdering a wig, a paper cone was used to protect the face.
Really enjoyed this, it’s interesting to see the male attire. One slight gripe, could you slow the text down just a little, I found I was losing out because I couldn’t watch and read text at the same time. Or perhaps it’s just me being slow.
Georgian attire is one of my favorite eras of fashion for men, it flattered nearly every body type and was so debonair -- with or without face make-up.
it’s so awesome that you found someone who shares your interest for historical fashion. y’all seem like such a lovely couple! I love videos involving both of you.
Easily my favorite style of clothing for men's fashion, though I DO still have a preference for the slim-waisted silhouette of the next century. Combine the two, and you have a style that will set hearts and fans aflutter.
"He's an independent man who needs no servant" Let me guess, he's broke. "There might be rich heiresses around." Yeah, totes broke and looking for a fine allowance. 😆
Emanuel de Araújo Natural fibres are very suitable for hot climates. Obviously you wouldn’t wear the thickest wools (unless you wanted to insulate _out_ the heat), but lightweight cottons and linens are very well-suited for hot climates, especially if they aren’t too tight-fitting.
The gentleman here is not nearly as snobby-looking as that fellow in the other Georgian video I've seen. And his suit is nicer, too! Then again, that man and his valet crack me up.
Dastardly dashing. Love how those outfits strike me as both enormously elegant, even frivolous but also very manly. The posure too. Also interesting how men back then could easily wear flowers and lilac blue all over but nowadays a menwear is so dark and earth toned. Would love to know what was considered manly back then. Also, slight tip, could you please slow down the text? It reads pretty fast and with the music, video and the bulk of text you end up needing to watch twice. It would be a bit less hectic, as i like to absorb the historic facts going along with the footage. It would make your content even more nice. Thanks!
Also blame the mid 1900s that said men can't wear pink. :| And it wasn't too long before that that young boys at least wore dresses and ribbons in their hair.
I love watch your content. Everything you make is so lovely. I much prefer when you are talking as opposed to reading along. I'm afraid I'll miss something trying read.
He looks wonderful. I appreciate the lighter touch with the makeup; I have seen men ‘cosplaying’ in 18th century garb wearing a truly distracting amount of makeup.
There were some very foppish men in the era who would have worn a crazy amount of makeup, but they definitely weren't the norm! There's lots of satirical drawings and cartoons from the 18th C of men who dressed too outlandishly.
Yeah independent Gentleman - on the make. He would have been getting up at the crack of two o’clock in the afternoon after spending all night at the tables trying to win back his family fortune earlier squandered at Pharo - the card playing craze of the day where many a family fortune and estate was lost at the card tables. It was so popular the John Montague, 4th Earl Sandwich was forced to invent THE Sandwich so he could carry on playing cards without the inconvenience of leaving the table to go for his supper. Oh and I just love the witty subtitles you put on these videos, they always make me laugh because, well, English✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🌹🏴🏴🏴🏴
Your added comment is informative and true. My Dear Grandfather won and lost valuable real estate at the card tables. I’m sure it was the thrill of victory and then the agony of defeat.
Jackie Mudd I’m really sorry to hear that. The thing about Bankrupt estates is that the contents were often sold to the highest bidder and so the history is lost and that’s always regrettable.
I wish i could see the embellishment of silver on the coat. MORE powder!!! MORE powder!!! lol . Only channel on the internet where someone "flips their wig" in a good way..and very gentlemanly lol.
Fab outfits, Izabela! Your gentleman model looked very smart! And the two of you posing at the end? It looked like something right out of Les Liasons Dangereuses! One of my favourite movies! Erm....men wore makeup back then? Any particular reason? I read somewhere that men wore the wigs because they shaved their heads to prevent, erm, shall we say, nasty little creatures from roaming about their heads. Is that true? And would women have done that, too?(shudder!) Your videos always give me something to look forward to, and make me happy. I thank you so much for that.💖☺
Men wore wigs because at one point, the French king went bald early and he started a fashion for wigs which lasted well over a century. They were a status item, separating a gentleman from a laborer. Women wore wigs too, but mainly because it was easier to create the elaborate hairstyles that way. Makeup was a status item, but it could also help hide smallpox scars. It was worn by both sexes.
I think it’s funny that so manny people in other countries ether never or rarely sees shoes like that when you can see them every year here in Norway. Shoes like that is used by both men and women to our traditional clothing the “bunad”. Sorry for any misspelling, English is not my fist language.
Well this is an English Gentleman rather than a French one so it’s historically unlikely he would have been the cause of the French Revolution. We had our revolution in the mid 17th century, over a hundred years before and looked on in horror at the revolutions wracking Europe (however necessary) at the time.
My husband was recently in a military class with whom I toured the battlefield at Yorktown, VA (turning point of the American Revolution) and the professor asked why we thought the US revolution succeeded while the initial French ones didn't (i.e. we have never had an acknowledged nobility or royalty... although plenty of landed gentry). My first thought was that the Colonials' nobility (i.e. governors of the Colonies who sometimes held British titles) was either back in England or returned to England after the revolution, rather than staying and trying to regain power. Interesting conversation, for sure.
A most elegant suit, as is the gentleman who models it. Two questions: would the powder applied to wig and face not drift down to the outer garments if applied last thing? And were the gentlemen's underdrawers made open like ladies' drawers?
Thanks. Depends - with a light coating it clings to the face paint layer , with a proper powdering protection is worn. Underbreeches- I no, different anatomy and different clothes.
In this particular case, www.andyburke.co.uk. PA usually credits all the other vendors of the parts of her costumes (jewellery, wigs, shoes and accoutrements) that are not produced by her company in the end titles and under the video window of every video uploaded, to answer questions like this one :-)
SERIOUS QUESTION!!! What were the SEQUINS made of? Fish scales maybe? I saw gorgeous fish scale SEQUINS on an elaborately embroidered Checqklosalvokian (Sp???) garment at a museum.
Czechoslovakian, but your spelling was phonetic, so we all knew what you meant! 😊Sequins used to be made out of metal, all the way back to King Tut's time (and probably earlier). It wasn't until the creation of Gelatin and celluloid that the sequin started to evolve, and that was in the 1920-1930's.
Splendid! One of my favourite historical menswear periods. Did that lovely frock coat usually button up, or were they made too small to close so that they were kept open for a fashion statement,?
SoundShinobiYuki As was pointed out in the video they were kept open so everyone could see the gorgeous waistcoat. In those days only a tiny proportion of the population could dress like this, the aristocracy and the very rich- or those posh enough to demand credit off some poor tailor - some of whom must have been Bankrupted by Aristocrats refusing to pay their bills safe in the knowledge they could not be sent to Prison for it. However Gentleman would have been harshly judged by their own class from their waistcoats, tailoring, taking off snuff, the way they bowed if not correct could get a Gentleman labelled ‘gauche’. Not social suicide but definitely undesirable.
@@scarletpimpernelagain9124 I'm a re-enactor myself (i just don't do 18th C) and history enthusiast, I'm well aware of the class divides in Georgian society and why it all came crashing down.
SoundShinobiYuki oh I’m so sorry, I do apologise, I thought I was being helpful answering a question, clearly not, but not to worry, I won’t be bothering you again - particularly as you have taken a Japanese Manga character which is, of course, closely connected to 18th century English fashion - as your user name.......
So would the waistcoat be woven with the flower 'embroidery', or would that be added by the tailor, or would it be expected to be done by the wife/a servant?
He knows he's looking fine.
Yes he really does look fine tho! Beautiful

Your husband is a star!!
I just love how happy your husband looks doing these videos!
Men’s fashion peaked in the mid-late 1700s.
What a splendid looking gentleman! BRAVO!
Rococo style looks so graceful. They finally got past those big Bach-style wigs, and the silhouette looks very nice.
I get so excited when I see there’s a new video from Prior Attire.

Love the men's fashion from this period. Beautiful blue. Looks so comfortable too.
Love the outfit and the checky little smile he gives the camera on the close up. Very dashing
How to torment historical re-enactors: Give them a lot of buttons to button up
And I'm a total masochist, I keep MAKING my historical outfits with dozens of buttons! OTL
Very stylish and handsome as always, Lucas. Your work is impeccable, Izabela.
A very attractive gentleman, is Lucas. I have a little objection to the powdering process. They would not use powder without protective sheets and for powdering a wig, a paper cone was used to protect the face.
Lucas cuts a very dashing figure! Lucky you!
lucas has the manner of carrying himself to go with the old clothes...he makes the clothes look good!
This is splendid! There are no words for how much I live these historical fashion videos (especially the 18th/19th centuries).
I always enjoy sitting down and watching these videos. It's relaxing with your music choice. Always enjoyable.

The waistcoat is divine! (And I always love the character, or attitude Monsieur assumes!)
Georgian attire is one of my favorite eras of fashion for men, it flattered nearly every body type and was so debonair -- with or without face make-up.
Your historical fashion videos for both men and women are entertaining and educational.
Lol you really love buttons, don’t you? 😂
Awesome video 💖
I’ve never been this early, and I’m EXCITED, I love learning about men’s’ clothing
Who would put thumbs down they obviously didn't appreciate the work that goes into making this and the beautiful garments worn
I find all of your videos utterly fascinating! I can't get enough!!!!!!!! wow.
This fine gentleman just might find that rich heiress.
it’s so awesome that you found someone who shares your interest for historical fashion. y’all seem like such a lovely couple! I love videos involving both of you.
he looks terribly proud and i love it
I just imagined the mice, from “The Tailor of Gloucester” doing all the work on the embroidery and buttonholes!
No more twift...
That takes me straight back to my childhood and very favourite Potter story.
Quite an extravagant and elegant look you got my fine sir.
Easily my favorite style of clothing for men's fashion, though I DO still have a preference for the slim-waisted silhouette of the next century. Combine the two, and you have a style that will set hearts and fans aflutter.
Handsome gentleman!!!
Now I know what to wear the next time I'm staying at the Holiday Inn in Lincoln
"He's an independent man who needs no servant" Let me guess, he's broke.
"There might be rich heiresses around." Yeah, totes broke and looking for a fine allowance.

I kinda wish men still dressed like this today. So elegant.
Me too. Although I live in a very hot country and this wouldn't be able to be wore anyways lol

Wow he’s a charming & handsome looking lad in that suit. A fine boi indeed
he's ok. nothing special.
He’s a good special fine boi who deserves a handful of pumpkin seeds
I'm so very happy that by chance your channel popped up. Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
He looks very dashing in his silk britches and coat! Bravo! ~Janet in Canada
Bring this fashion back
That was so adorable you’re both so blessed
I got to say I love the waistcoat and wish men's suit waistcoat were like this.
Oh this banyan alone would make me feel so fancy!
I slowed down the playing speed so I could both watch the action and read the comments. These videos are lots of fun.
Wish our men today would have a bit of this elegance, gorgeous! :o)))
What a dapper gentleman! 😊❤
My thoughts exactly
Beautiful and elegant
Dastardly dashing. Love how those outfits strike me as both enormously elegant, even frivolous but also very manly. The posure too. Also interesting how men back then could easily wear flowers and lilac blue all over but nowadays a menwear is so dark and earth toned. Would love to know what was considered manly back then.

Blame the French revolution and Beau Brummel. They made it social suicide for men to wear anything that wasn't grey, brown, navy or black!
Also blame the mid 1900s that said men can't wear pink. :|
And it wasn't too long before that that young boys at least wore dresses and ribbons in their hair.
Your gentleman has a well turned calf as they said then. Most attractive. No need to pad!
Anne Henderson Yes that was quite bizarre when you think about it, like having an 18th c Wonderbra for men stuffed down their tights 😂
Gorgeous. I wish men could wear like that nowadays
Me too, especially the tricorne
@@maikoh5121 There's no reason you can't.
Some actually do, Zack Pinsent is for example known for doing that. He once was Interviewed in the BBC and also has an own TH-cam-Channel.
Nah to many buttons! I'll go nuts! 🤪😁
calves are well shaped and handsome......
His dressing robe is more oppulant than any article of clothing I own
A rather dashing fellow, if I may say.
Gorgeous outfit on a very handsome gentleman (lovely legs he has too, and those socks show them off beautifully under those knee breeches).
I love watch your content. Everything you make is so lovely. I much prefer when you are talking as opposed to reading along. I'm afraid I'll miss something trying read.
Great.. Could he do a 1850 to 1900 male outfit? Please...

A very Masculine elegant look for men at the time.
Thanks for sharing love these period costumes

Hugely classy while not being over the top.
That is interesting about how the men's breeches are done up with the two side flaps and the one in the middle. Thank you for the information.
If he dresses himself then he doesn't have to tip the household servants as much when he leaves after his visit.
Did a gentleman's servant/valet maintain the wigs? Or were they regularly taken to hairdressers who specialised?

Great costume. I myself, though, would probably opt for a brown wool ditto suit and my natural hair powdered and tied back.
will never compare to the ‘direct cause of the French revolution’ vibes from the crow’s eye production one but a brilliant effort nonetheless
Haha I loved that video! Crow's eye production also just released a new Georgian video!

He looks great! You mentioned makeup, yet I don't remember you doing makeup in any of your own dress up videos. Did the women skip makeup back then?
Watch the videos again, I do show make up......
18th century women wore makeup, but it went out of style during the 19 century for being associated with actresses and prostitutes
What a falling gentleman he is in his blue Solihull.
Love it
Dear Izabela the title is off! 1760s -800
not anymore! thanks!
It was a wonderful time for baldness
Well, I hope our rather dashing gentleman managed to find himself a rich heiress!

So would the waistcoat be woven with the flower 'embroidery', or would that be added by the tailor, or would it be expected to be done by the wife/a servant?
Brocaded material in this case. If embroidered, it would have been done by a professional embroidered before the assembly of the pieces by a tailor
