The cream coloured waistcoat is absolutely beautiful. There are people who do fabric/clothing restoration and conservation. It's such a lovely piece that it would probably be worth it to have it professionally cleaned and repaired.
I love the 1920s style of men's wear and would dress in it every day if I could, But I have never found any where to buy them from. The so called Vintage cloths shops I have found only go back to the 80s lol and I still have some from then when I was younger. :)
That was fun! The smoking jacket is a great match for your hair color, it looks great on you. I do have a question. When you freeze the new additions, will you also freeze the clothes you wore through the video (shirt, bow tie, pants etc.), since you tried some of the your recent acquisitions on over those items before freezing them?
Good question! Well moths only lay their larvae in wool and my uppers were all cotton, except my wool trousers. It's also unlikely that any larvae would fall out of one garment and then force their way through the fibres of another before they've fully developed so I don't think it's necessary but you could do if you really want to.
Wow! What a fantastic video! I absolutely love everything! Keep going, this is one of the greatest channel I've ever seen. Your passion is so compelling and your video are so fascinating. Thanks for your work! Greetings from Italy.
The smoking jacket looks like a good fit. Its a bit useless really since their purpose is to protect clothes from ash and sparks. I tried to encourage him to pick up smoking pipe tho. Quite unsuccesful. Perhaps oneday. ..... one could only hope 😆
i came across your channel after reading a manga and seeing a charecter wearing a monocle so i decided to search on youtube out of curiosity if people still wore them, is there differnt style, history found your video and then binged watched all your stuff. while your hobby is not somthing i would personal ever get in to i find the history behind it all fascinating and entertaining to learn about
I just discovered you ! I used to enjoy reading ' Chap ' magazine so now I can enjoy watching you present and wear these beautiful clothes. How I wish men would dress like gentlemen these days. I collect women's vintage dresses and accessories. Well done and I look forward to seeing you decked out in some of today's haul.
Please make more videos! I have a few questions about collars. First, did people wear a wing or imperial collars with regular suits and not only with formal wear? Also, what is some reading material about dress codes or fashion from the era (the 1880s-1920s) that would go into detail? Thanks in advance for the answers!
You have been really lucky! I’m so much in a hurry to see the next videos. I would be interested to know more about the sports attires, personnaly, but every piece would interst me (I was sad when the video ended). The smoking jacket is fitting you so well, such a great addition to your wardrobe!!!
Amazing video as always, love these pieces, but i'm curious now that cold weather is coming around, in the winter, do you ever go for any type of overcoat or gloves? If so, what kind?
You are tbe number one place for Edwardian menswear research, it's crazy how little information there is online. That being said do you know of any books or sites that go indepth with Edwardian menswear?
Hello. Not sure if you know this, but at the website for the Gentleman’s Gazette they have a quiz that helps one find out what type of gentleman one is, or would like to be. When I take it, sometimes I’m considered a Classic Gentleman, sometimes a Vintage one. Point being, if you test as a Vintage gentleman they list Instagram channels for inspiration, and your channel is one of them. Just thought I’d let you know, in case you saw increased traffic on your channel. Enjoy your TH-cam videos, by the way. 🙂
I really enjoy your videos, there such great fun! I have been collecting antiques from the early Victorian to late Edwardian period for some time now but have not yet stepped foot in the seemingly choppy waters of antique menswear, (I have always preferred dressing in an older style but I’ve never had much success) How would you suggest starting an Edwardian wardrobe, and at what point would you suggest being able to start wearing them on a daily basis? Thanks again!
How wonderful! I wouldn't even know what to do with all of that. Were the patterned collars meant to be worn with matching shirts? If not, how do you wear them?
Wonderful video! It's really cool seeing all these old pieces in such good shape and still prone to be worn. Have you considered doing a Patreon? I'm sure a lot of your viewers would appreciate a better camera, which could show the colours and textures of the fabric more accurately (unfortunately, for the first waistcoat you couldn't really see the green and red accents). And if you can gain some income from your audience, you could invest that in the videos! Anyway, keep it up, you definitely got me as a follower :)
So many beautiful clothes! It's a shame about the shattered silk. I too live in a humid environment. Do you ever have issues with fungi popping up in your display cases?
well, we are all going to die once. May be some day, somebody will be wearing your cloths, and asking himself " who was Antique Menswear, and what did he do?"
I have lots of collector friends and we tend to swap between each other, or send things for free. But when I do buy things I buy them very very cheap, and I only buy them if they're very very cheap. Some suits are listed for over $1000, but it's a scam. Don't pay anything over $300 for a complete mint 3 piece, and even then I think it's expensive. In Europe it's usually €50 for a full Edwardian suit. You just have to wait and look hard. I've been collecting for over 7 years.
@@AntiqueMenswear Thanks for the advice, my friend. I go thrifting every weekend and luckily most old suits I find are all super cheap. Could you please tell us one modern suit maker that makes good Edwardian-style suits?
Thanks for a fascinating video. Just two comments. Firstly the buttons on the white embroidered waistcoat reminded me a bit of the old Dorset high top buttons as seen in the following episode of Jack Hargreaves' Old Country TV program (At about 10.33 on the video). th-cam.com/video/JqKwGMtDluQ/w-d-xo.html Secondly, could the patch on the white sport blazer be The South Australia Hockey Association? Look forward to seeing more.
Thanks for your videos. I new here and will be starching my collars using your video on the topic. I find it very difficult to find reliable reproduction antique clothes for men. Can you recommend a source. Do you collect only antiques or do you also purchase reproductions. Do you purchase from Darcy Clothing? Would you recommend them? Thanks.
Well that's a common misconception, that spawns from people thinking the pointed edges are spawned from King Edward and thus they have to have started after the Edwardian era but it's not so. There are plenty of fashion plates and photos that show men from the 1880s and 1890s with slanted and pointed waistcoat tips, some double breasted ones even end in a nice V shape. The neckline and collar look late 1890s to me, but we'll never have a definitive answer.
i think some victorian time traveller has kidnapped him.,
I know Perran! He disappeared off of the Internet a few years ago, but when I knew him he was a very swell guy. Great taste in early clothes!
I actually really like the thought that people so long ago used to wear my clothes, I think it adds a lot it it’s history
I always find myself wondering who they were, why they decided to buy the clothing, what did they do, what happened to them
@@merlin5463they are in the grave now
You are a proper inspiration, mate
Thank you that's very kind!

I love your enthousiasm! Thanks for sharing!
Just bumped into the channel, good stuff. Any plans on making a return to youtube?
Oh goodie goodie what a marvelous present.
Came from Reddit, really happy to have discovered your channel
Oh! Reddit? I didn't know I was posted there 😅
@@AntiqueMenswear yeah, your Instagram post was posted to several “chad” subreddits and may I just say this channel is great
@@Twertle Uh oh! Lol could you link it to me? 😂
Many thanks for your kind words!
@@AntiqueMenswear tried to comment the link but the auto moderation blocks it :/ I’ll try again later good sir
Great video! Would love to see more at some point!

You should do like a video on the chronological history of the suit or like a series on it
Possible edwardian gamer spin-off channel? All jokes aside, that was an amazing haul and wow those waistcoats are just so wow
Seriously I’d watch that channel if he made it

Poeple used to wear tall, starched collars allways when wearing a suit, not just for eveningwear.
What a beautiful haul! I can't wait for the more in detail follow up videos you'll be able to make with these.
I dig your new additions! Looks like you also have a bit of Pennsylvania with you now! 😂
You have been really lucky!
I’m so much in a hurry to see the next videos. I would be interested to know more about the sports attires, personnaly, but every piece would interst me (I was sad when the video ended).

I am also wear antique! I love all your videos lad!
Love this video!! So many beautiful pieces
Amazing video as always, love these pieces, but i'm curious now that cold weather is coming around, in the winter, do you ever go for any type of overcoat or gloves? If so, what kind?
My favourite 1930s overcoat will be coming out soon! I have some photos on my Instagram, but I'll try and make a video with it soon!
I want more videos when does the history of detach le collar come
Looking good and didn't know you gamed love the idea of a vintage gamer. You have a channel for that?
Now there's an idea 🤔
I think it be cool never seen a vintage dresser play video games either so that's a plus and unique steamer.
Splendid video as always. Very jealous...
OH THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
Very nice man. If I send you some pics can you tell me the age of 2 vests and a tail tux? Awesome stuff you acquired.
You can’t imagine how jealous I am.😔
The smoking jacket suits you so perfectly!
Wonderful video as always good sir, although I am little bit jealous for I just can not find this kind of clothing.
Are you still out there?
You are tbe number one place for Edwardian menswear research, it's crazy how little information there is online.
That being said do you know of any books or sites that go indepth with Edwardian menswear?
You make wonderful videos and i was so amused by all the fascinating clothing g. Hope you'll come back soon. Cheers 🎩

Great video, I am so envious! Can I ask where the shirt you are wearing is from?
Hi nice stuff there.
I collect old neckties can u recommend me where to get them???
Where do you dye old
Monocles
Extraordinary n all of it for free!!!
How wonderful! I wouldn't even know what to do with all of that. Were the patterned collars meant to be worn with matching shirts? If not, how do you wear them?
There was a fad in the 10s to wear a white shirt with contrasting collars and cuffs!
Wonderful video! It's really cool seeing all these old pieces in such good shape and still prone to be worn. Have you considered doing a Patreon?

Man, I really miss the videos ;-;
well, we are all going to die once. May be some day, somebody will be wearing your cloths, and asking himself " who was Antique Menswear, and what did he do?"
That's cool
what is your favorit monocl
love the vids where can I get some of these clothes...for a big man lol.
I would really like to know what is the sports blazer made of.
Nice.
How do you wear a patterned collar without a matchin shirt? With a plain white shirt?
Nice
Are you still alive? Its been more than a year since the last upload
It's amazing that you live in Japan. Do you work there too?
Mau i have a cup of tea please ?
What online stores do you recomend i go to to buy vintage shirts.
Depends what you're looking for. That's a very broad term.
Damnnnnn im hiGH.....🌜👽
I have a question for you. Is there anywhere in the United Kingdom where I can purchase stiff, detachable cuffs?
Other than antique stores, Darcy clothing do collars!
@@AntiqueMenswear Oh well...it was worth a try.
No more videos?
Where do you find the money to buy all this stuff?
I have lots of collector friends and we tend to swap between each other, or send things for free.
But when I do buy things I buy them very very cheap, and I only buy them if they're very very cheap.
Some suits are listed for over $1000, but it's a scam. Don't pay anything over $300 for a complete mint 3 piece, and even then I think it's expensive.

Christ bless.
1st waistcoat is too slanted at end for before late 1890s at earliest

@@AntiqueMenswear Ur probably right but i was actually speaking about the fact its not cut super straight across at the bottom n not about the points
just saw the earthquake are you alright?
I'm sorry! I'm okay, thank you for asking!!
@@AntiqueMenswear glad to hear :)
Those pants are very flattering 🍑
