Hi, thank you for your kind comment. Yes, more are on their way - next is a tailcoat, and then pantaloons as part of a recreation of Beau Brummel's portrait.
What a cool guy! And an excellent tailoring lesson. Those dusters persist through the 19th century anywhere you work stock on horseback to keep the dirt off, with wax or oil treatment for rain resistance. They’re worn in automobiles when they come along. They and the Garrick merge to become the trench coat in WW I which is still around. Ever stylish and always has swagger.
What a kind comment! Thank you for the additional information - if you search for Duster patterns the most common ones are those for Australian or Western designs.
Hi - Thank you - my period is the historic Regency (1795 - 1837) and so far mostly men's fashions, (though I will be doing a video of a new dress I am making for Ros). Generally, they are clothes I am making for my own use for balls or military re-enactment. I thought about making an outfit in order to portray a man of my own chronological age as he may appear then (i.e. his clothes are a bit old fashioned, so harking back to maybe 1760) The trouble with that concept is that I believe that most real people would want to keep up with current fashion, so even older men would want to look smart. The tailoring techniques did not change tremendously, but the choice of materials did - progressing from colourful silks (for the monied classes and Macaronis ) to wools and the the Brummel-inspired athletic image and muted colour pallette. How far back in time are you envisaging?
@@RegencyRumBluffers Thank you for the reply! - I am making a men’s suit from the 1730s, so I would love to see a tutorial on men’s suits from anywhere around 1730 to 1780 when the frock coat was still the fashion. I love all different types of frock coats from this era, especially the French and the American colonial styles but I have not found any tutorials quite as clear and thorough as the videos you make, which have been remarkably helpful and informative!
You are only saying that to make us jealous! The answer would be to make it out of much lighter fabric and leave out the lining - you can still strut your Regency stuff if you are determined!
Dear RegencyRumBluffers, I’ve been desperately trying to find an 1830s frock coat for MONTHS. I cannot find an adequate pattern anywhere. The specific type of coat I seek is one with the tall rolled collar that hugs the whole height of the neck and makes it seem twice as tall, the long lapels, and puffed shoulders rising up just a little over the slope, as well as a waist seam dividing the body/tails that gives a kind of hourglass shape and the ‘back diamond’ seam. It was an incredibly popular type of frock in the 1830s. Look at portraits of young composers like Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, etc. I just can’t find a pattern for it anywhere! It’s making me desperate! Would you happen to know any? Or maybe making the LMM 121 coat into a frock would be viable at all? Thank you for your time, I’m going insane haha
Hi, Thank you for your message - Laughing Moon No. 121 has the waistline seam you are looking for. Men did not have the back diamond - that was typical of the ladies of the period, as far as I am aware. Maybe you can also get some useful elements from Reconstructing History's Pattern 955 - Victorian Era Army Frock Coat, which has the collar, waistline and coat skirts you are looking for. Civilian and military styling often ran in parallel with each other - this dates from about 1830. Do let us know how you get on - I am going to make pattern 955 as I have been given a collar and cuffs already worked with with fantastically detailed soutache patterns (see th-cam.com/video/vIuvDH23TVw/w-d-xo.html) Let us know how you get on!
@@RegencyRumBluffers Thank you! I already made ReconstructingHistory’s pattern no. 902 and I will caution you, their patterns can be rough and difficult to follow. I had a very difficult time cutting it and the assembled version didn’t end up as advertised, other seamsters/seamstresses online also caution against RH. I was planning on doing LMM121 yes! I’ll let you know how that goes. Perhaps in the future you could do a video on RH902? I’d love to see how you do it and perhaps how I could improve. I followed your LMM125 ‘Cabbage’ videos and ended up with a beautiful result thanks to you.
@@xrrainx823 That's very interesting to know, thanks - as you know, my go-to designer is Laughing Moon, and I find that they are the yardstick by which I measure other pattern-makers. I'm not sponsored by them, it's just my experience - you might like to check out Black Snail No. 0148 - 1830's Romantic Period Frock Coat - I made a Spencer from one of their patterns - see th-cam.com/video/F-_FqmrtxKE/w-d-xo.html for the Spencer make.
Not only is this educational, it is delightful. Thanks for the walk through!
Glad you liked it - watch out for my next which is a tailcoat.
This is fantastic. There aren't enough tutorials for men's historical fashions. Historical and steampunk cosplayers will love this. More please :)

I am utterly impressed with your videos sir, I will definately wait the new ones!
Thank you! My next one will be a tailcoat.

Amazing tutorial! Very unique channel ❤️
Thank you so much!
Love these videos! Would you ever consider doing tutorials on 18th century clothing? I would love to see that as a beginner making 1700s clothing!

Both the garrick and the duster look amazing, but would be far too hot for our summers😂🇿🇦 Perhaps *even* for our winter weather 🤣

Merci pour ce partage, précieux et efficace !
Merci pour votre aimable commentaire - je suis heureux si cela a aidé.
Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
