- Join me inside the Old Byrd Farm house for another adventure! This time, I'm joined by my friend Benjamin, a collector and seller of vintage clothes. We dive into one of the hot, sweaty, junk-filled rooms of the OBF house to search for old clothes.

Culottes are what those flare-legged shorts are called. It was a 70s craze. Culottes and skorts.
Also called gauchos...circa 1976.
I can only reply here I do not know why I cannot post a comment. That frame and the mirror remind me of antique furniture I have that's over 100 years old. French provincial maybe, but the date of my furniture is 1913. I currently am using the dresser but don't have the mirror attached to it that looks almost just like that, that dark stain color around that time period.
“Those are just some old clothes, throw ‘em away” - is what I used to think about these old pieces of fabric or polyester from the ‘70’s and ‘80’s… but as I watched Benjamin dig into the 4 foot pile of clothes and pick out unique pieces and point out different features, my appreciation for these old clothes grew. I realized that these, too, are pieces of our American history - and that saving these pieces is also another form of preservation of the same.
Will he be back for more digging? Who knew, all those years ago when the 3 intrepid adventurers went walkabout that all that was hiding, waiting for you to discover!
I have to agree with you Robert. I lived through the 70tys n 80tys n a lot of clothes had polyester n I remember how hot it was to wear them here in Florida. When Benjamin mentioned the collars I thought of John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Those pointed collars. It’s good to see someone learning about vintage clothing n Benjamin having his store. I’m sure there’s plenty more for him to go through. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🐾🐾🐾🐾🐈⬛
@@shellydehart8217 And I hope he isn't done sorting in there yet!
@@alanatolstad4824 I agree. There’s sooo much more to go through
Boy , watching memories came back 70 s was my time Great that someone is able to rescue them ❤
I'm a 70 year old widow and was going thru a coat closet in my home and found my late husbands Lee denim jacket that he had before we were married. Has to be from the mid to late 60's. I gave my son a lot of things to sell as I will no longer be using them. From my biker days! He is still researching the Lee jacket. So far we know it's worth 100's of dollars. Very popular jacket. You never know what is hanging around. I still have some of my vintage clothing from the early 1970's. Don't think I will part with them yet. And my rock band tee shirt collection someday will go to. It number's way over 100. Those aren't going yet either!
the old denim jackets are cut different , I had one in college, it fit me perfect!
then it disappeared, only to find my step brother took it.
Have a quilt made for yourself and son out of some of the favorite Tee's. Then make money off the rest!
@@Catherine-ty8ss I already planned on making a quilt out of our Harley Davidson and motorcycle rallies shirts. I have a lot of them to. I just need to get myself started!!
I have lots of clothes from the 80s. I held on to them hoping I might be able to fit in them again. I'm still waiting😂😂😂
Those denim flared shorts, are called gauchos. You'd wear knee high boots with them. Very 70's.
The Turtles still have a huge following. Those were some great clothing picks for him.
Your young guy knows his stuff!
Nice to see him being able to save some of these old clothes
Aloha 🌺 Always a nice time to spend with Benjamin! The wonderful '70's! 🌺🥰
Such a nice young man and he knows his vintage clothing! Interesting video. Thanks
I love all the old 70s clothes.
Amazing how much stuff is in there. It's good the clothing can be reused rather than thrown away.
I like the old 70's and 80's style clothes 👍
I was a teenager in the seventies. I wish I had kept some of the clothes I wore to school in those days. There is no way I could get into them today, but I could donate them to a vintage clothing store like your friend has, Robert. They would be fun for someone to wear!
The only thing that I wear that faintly resembles the 70s is boot cut jeans and I'm good with them 😊
Neat clothes. I remember most of them.
Rummaging=searching through a mass untidily. My Mom said this word when I was young and I always liked the sound of it,we liked doing it any chance we got. It's fun to just look and see what can be found. You've made my day. Makes me want to rummage. Rummage sales used to be really popular to raise money for charity,fun fact in the UK they are called jumble sales. So anyway,rummage on,😁 I love it!!
Curiosity Inc. sells the old clothes to dealers, also!
Those pants that were so wide and shorter than full length were called “culottes” in the 70’s. I loved em then and now!
That frame was great!❤️🤗🐝
Longer version of culottes were called gauchos, you wore knee highs with chunky shoes or fashion boots
I thoroughly enjoyed the vintage clothing treasure hunt.
I wore the really wide leg jeans in the early 70s. Seeing those brought back memories.
It has been my experience that popular fashion always comes back around, so it makes sense that things from the 70s and 80s are popular again. I do enjoy these clean-out videos, I watch another channel called " Curiosity Inc." that does hoarder clean outs and you never know what you'll find in a random box somewhere. Which is fun. And seeing the space transform is cool too.
I've been watching Alexander and family for years and his clean outs are awesome.
Did you see , he's back to doing them since the show contract with the video maker went
south.
He is free to show us tons of house stuff!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and working on the old Byrd farm house
I had a blue polyester jump suit back in 1973. I was one of my favorite outfits ever. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory!
Oh no! 😊
I really enjoyed the vintage clothing fashion show! Vintage items are a favorite of mine-better to reuse than buy new when possible. I remember some of the late 80’s and 90’s fashions in there! I enjoy your enthusiasm and excitement for all your adventures, no matter what you are doing. It makes me smile to see you, your intern and guests having fun, even in the heat!
Cool finds thanks for sharing 😊
Cool finds💯👍
Treasure Trove!! I can dig it! Very cool stuff and very hot work. Great saves. 👍👍❣ Awesome store, Benjamin! 👏
That 1984 Winston cup shirt is nice
Doesn’t the time line of a functioning house go into the nineties. I am amazed at the amount of pre nineties decades old fashions. Pretty darn cool.
Treasure trove of goodies 🫶🏼
Maybe a movie will be filmed around there and they'll need some clothing. They have done a few on my road and surrounding area and they have a semi truck trailer full of clothes. Good luck to Ben and and keep these cool (no pun intended) videos coming 👍🇺🇸
Beautiful piece!
I can't imagine being in Georgia in the summer with high humidity 🥵
It ain’t easy, lol!
Canfield's diet chocolate fudge soda was yummy!
Mombasa Kenya. (Say Moo-boss-ah). City in Kenya. Love the mantle in that last room you were in!
Wow what a goldmine of clothing that young fella knows what he's doing that's for sure and those things are in fashion right now all the craze with the younger generation that polyester jumpsuit is the best
What a fun vlog! The mirror you found with its “harp” dates to the turn of the last century. You can see similar examples in of the old Sears roebuck catalogs. The architectural name for the interior squares around your windows and doors are called a “ bullseye”. I enjoyed seeing the vintage clothes. Very cool!
Wow, all those vintage clothes, what a time capsule. Robert Wright, is it possible to video tape at Ben's store? Love to see his store. Can't wait to watch you remodel Old Byrd Farm. Thanks 😊
I was all about the silver tab jeans in middle school
Looking at the clothes and oh my gosh to hear you all getting so excited over them. Then I see a lot I had, had a few of those button denim skirts. Now I feel like I should be in a museum. Love your videos like taking a stroll down memory lane.
I had a scratch and sniff T shirt when I was about 6. In the seventies it had a row of fruit across the front
Alot of those old clothes are popular again. Like that pointed collar. Wow
I made a yellow jumpsuit that looked like the one he held up. Zipper all the way up. Hard to get on and off though, but it looked good and that was all that mattered then. Lol!!!
Mine was brown and looked great ! 👍
I coudl watch him dig through the clothes all day .. I'd love to see how they turn out after he cleans them .. I love vintage clothes, more so 50's and 60's
what neat finds! the advertising shirts are interesting. you just do not see many of them anymore.
the old uniform from Arby’s especially now they are so neat to see and bring up neat memories!
Those are cool finds! Most people don't have any idea what they've got, especially when there's multi generational things. Most people will go through a room or house and just see it as junk and haul it out to a dumpster, but I'm glad there are folks who appreciate those older things. This was a great video, Robert. Can't wait to see what you find next.
Brings back memories of my lime green jump suie with a white turtle neck shirt underneath. And I can't forget my tan platform shoes. A few years ago I was looking at it and couldn't beleive I wore it out in public, so I donated it to St Vincent De Paul. I think I made a mistake.
Robert,
Old mirrors are coated with Mercury , so it's better to replace
the mirrors rather than restore them.
I took a course in restoration or replacing and there are some new
ones that look old because the glass you use it's old flat drawn.
It's so good to see the more recent generations cleaning , appreciating and selling the old stuff.
Way to go Benjamin!!!!
Camera Gal,
you are doing a great job, don't let Robert intimidate you
lest
we have to sic the Other Robert on him:)
Just kidding, he is a great person.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Im looking at the fireplace mantle, it is beautiful!
Button down skirts go way back!
That's so cool. Glad to see Benjamin taking a pile of clothes from there. He really seems to know a lot about that. That's great. On a different note, I can't figure out how it's possible for there to be so much in that room!
That made me hot just watching. Mercy!
Love being able to see new rooms! Feel sorry you are doing this during summer.
How many little polyesters had to give up their lives for all those clothes? Walking through the house to the back rooms made the rooms you've recovered look so much better. The few months I worked in fast food it was Arby's and those shirts were a reminder -- everyone should work fast food at least once and get it out of their system. An interesting Arby drive-thru story comes from the store I worked on El Camino Real in Mountain View, California.
Me: Welcome to Arby's can I have your order?
Drive-thru customer recognizing an accent: What part of Iowa are you from?
As truth would have it, I grew up in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
❤
neat video..so glad to see if it can be saved and used the better :)
To get the plaster off your picture frame i used to tie a rope to the frame and throw it in the lake by my house. In about an hour take it out and the plaster falls right off. Then you can bleach your bad spots and lightly sand and then stain or clear varnish. I choose oil base to rejuvenate the wood. They are beautiful with mirrors in them.
Top good work the from te House summer thans te video Top weekend grootjes ✔️🤗🙏⛅🌻😅🚚
LOL !! Tell Uncle Ken you found his drawz !!
Jez it's like a hoarders situation.
Hey those faired shorts are in right now, they are called Jorts.
They were called skorts in the 1890s when they were invented for women bikeriders.
What fun! That house just keeps on giving up sweet treasures. That ceiling is kind of strange-! I guess it's a sign of several generations trying to make 'current' upgrades. I hope there's no asbestos involved! I guess it's kind of like lead- ubiquitous before a certain point.
Hi Robert, just thought I'd tell you I have book, "Kerry The Fire Engine Dog"
I'm 71. Got it as a child, also I have my Grandpa's shaving mirror. 2 things I will never part with.
When I waa younger I borrowed my mom's 70's black polyester dress w a rhinestone neck/sheer overlay for Halloween, kinda a Stevie Nicks style...I think she still has all those clothes.
My husband worked with paint and thinner at bicycle factory years ago. So I patched his jeans from top to bottom and again. . Once he got his jeans on and shucked them in a fast second. I'd accidentally left a pin in them. As we'd just watched about spiders... It was so funny on how fast he could move. Leta
Just a thought, could you empty the room out then go through it all? Maybe cooler for you that way?
That young man would love my closet ,I have my hip huggers ,half blouses with long puffy sleeves,GoGo boots,my western jeans that really make a ladies figure look good.Body shirts and of course a mini skirt🤗 I've sold some for unreal amounts of money.,I really like my clothes ,boots,high heels love it.👍❤️
Those short pants with the very flared legs are called women’s coulottes. They were popular in the fifties and early sixties they were like a skirt but actually pants. Donna Northern Michigan
Polyester had it's drawbacks ( from natural fibers), but freed our Mother's from ironing some! Besides, it's warm!
It's at least 105 degrees here in Fresno California. At least we don't have the humidity that you do.
I remember sliver tab jeans
That is a huge mess. You need a big shovel.😂
Glad he appreciates old clothes. Would have thrown them away
I want that camel t-shirt. Bad!!!
You should try Japan !! I have been here since June, leaving tomorrow. Everyday, the temps have been in the 80+, which might not seem like much, but when you combine it with 87 to 98% HUMIDITY !! The sweat is rolling off of you, just from walking to the car ! Only time outside is when we are at the Beach ! Otherwise it MUST be Air conditioned. Any OUTSIDE Maintenance people landscapers ie, wear an Air Condition Suit, so they don’t pass out !
2 min ago! Hi there.this is Robert knauer, I just to let you know. I hope you to find some treasures?😅😅❤
I'm going to have nightmares about polyester now. As the youngest of 5 girls I had to wear my sisters' hand-me-downs even though they were WAY out of style. I longed for a pair of gauchos. I think I finally got a pair after everyone else had quit wearing them. I never realized until now how much childhood "trauma" can be related to clothing.😂
9:53 didn’t get a really good look, but those jeans look an awful lot like the dungarees I wore in the navy. Really comfortable.
The circle molding in the corners are "corner blocks"
One of my biggest life regrets is not keeping my "Aunt" Deanie's handmade clothing. I would play dress up and pretend I was Janis Joplin. Aunt Deanie had no idea who Janis Joplin was, but Aunt Deanie wore flare britches with the grooviest patterns. I am also talking dress up in the 90s just bec. I was weird before it was cool to be weird.
OMG, what a mess!
Time to start focusing on the interior of the Old Byrd Farm House!
I think those long collars used to be called "goonie bird collars" in the 70's for some reason, Also, the long flared denim shorts were called "gauchos."
80’s was just yesterday
The Levi’s with the short flare legs were called gnocchi use for horse riding but u right 1970’s
Benjamin those faded Glory are called "culottes"
That is a silver backed mirrior early 1800's I have one, most have mercury glass mirror, those usually bubble, silver backed is more streaked, older and rarer.
Things I learned from this video…
Someone worked at Arby’s
And Lisa needs a go fund me…. because Hawaii is still waiting!
Robert, I wonder if you know the background as to why so much has been hoarded and placed in the various rooms of the farmhouse.
Open the windows ! Then open the door and stick a fan in it
1870 on the mirrow. i have similar with a matching bed wooden soring frame
Hope those clothes get clean…one day at a time…
You need a dumpster.
The long looking shorts that were flared, were gauchos.
WOW is this for real?
Go right out side the windows to clean out clothes out one and box and mattresses trash
Just out of curiosity, how long do you estimate it will take you to get the house cleaned out ?
I like fabric and clothes, lived through the 50s even but would not like going through all this
What the vintage guy didn’t want you should’ve been putting in trash bags…touch it once and gone!
