Very interesting presentation. It is clear to see that "Buildings" in general in the 1890s were much colder than today. People wore a lot more clothing with more layers back then.
Actually, still today in the United states and Canada, the words vest and waistcoat are the same. I am not an expert in the late victorian/ edwardian period, but I quite well now the 1920’s-1930’s, so I’ll talk about that period; perheaps wasn’t it the case in those earlier times? Nevertheless, in England, the waistcoat is the garment we see on the video, a buttonned sleeveless layer placed under the jacket; the word vest is however used to define their woolen casual counterparts with no buttons (sleeveless jerseys).
Dry cleaning damages clothing, ideally suits get a sponge and press treatment seasonally which is still recommended by Savile Row. Clothing is treated with care regularly being brushed and any stains treated immediately and properly. Suits are aired and rotated in use. Dry cleaning sets stains permanently and does not remove them. Dry cleaning is not an improvement, it is a convenience and most people who are sartorial minded avoid it like the plague from what I have seen and lament the death of old fashioned cleaners. It is the skill of the washer or servants if wealthy who knew far more about cloth and it's nature that kept clothing in a far better state than dipping fabric in a chemical bath. There are only a few places I am aware of that still have this skill commercially and good luck getting your collar starched. Most dry cleaners even if requesting a hand wash will throw it in any industrial washer and it is hardly worth it even if they don't lie and give it the standard treatment with an upcharge.

How did they clean these nice clothes years ago? Years ago dry cleaners weren't around..
