Absolute feast for the eyes.
And lo we have the 'Purple Adder'.
Totally not enough men's clothing. I was so excited to see some men's costumes.
YES! So great to see men’s historical fashion. It used to be just as elaborate as women´s clothing. Yes, we can play with ties, bowties and handkerchiefs but nothing like this. So sad that we men only have the old dreary suit nowadays.
ridiculous? yes. gorgeous? also YES. lucas looks dashing indeed!
You 2 are just lovely together
He looks magnificent!
So interesting. The fabrics are glorious
I would like brighter colors, but definitely beautiful quality.
Beautiful i wish you had shown detail of the sleeves because many of the doublets had detachable sleeves i could not tell if they were attached or detached also very popular slash openings in the doublets and sleeves as well.
You both look fabulous! Well done!! 🥰
I keep thinking I need to make an outfit for my husband... but this probably isn't it. I definitely appreciate seeing men's fashion though!
Beautiful!
wow he looks very manly and fancy at the same time in that attire.
Your work is excellent! I hadn’t realized that the “belly” was a design feature of the doublet, but that certainly explains the portraiture of the era. From your description of the jerkin, it’s seems as though the waistcoat came from the jerkin and moved inside while the doublet evolved into the jacket. Hence men of fashion have worn “three piece suits” since at least Queen Elizabeth’s reign.
Now this might sound like a stupid question, but how did men go #2 if their “pants” were tied to their doublets?
Dommage que ce n est pas en français! C est du très beau travail 😊
Can you imagine trying to untie all those points when you roll home terribly drunk?
No need to untie, you take off doh let and hose together, easier!
The doublet, especially in Elizabethan times, was in many ways meant to mimic armor. The peascod belly is designed to mimic the shape of the cuirass, which has the peascod shape because that helps to deflect sword blows away from the face. In armor the shape is functional. In doublets, the shape mimics the cuirass of a set of armor. Doublets were not a common piece of female attire before the Elizabethan era, and Elizabeth adopted it into her wardrobe because is was consider male clothing and it mimicked military armor. It was part of her propaganda, the old "body of a frail woman but heart of a king" motif that she used to such good effect. The doublet arose as part of the underpadding for armor and was popular in men's wear, especially amongst the nobility, because it implied martial aesthetic. This outfit is lovely! Congratulations on your beautiful work, and thank you for these videos.
Lucas seems genuinely to enjoy having his wife dress him in period clothing.
Is this what people mean when they say Relationship Goals? LOL
I know I like dressing my husband in nice clothing! I'm sure I don't want to tie him in though!
What a shame men's clothes have become so boring! They used to dress up just as much as women and I bet they enjoyed showing off! Lucas looks great! 😍
Absolutely wonderful! You don’t see men's clothing anywhere near enough,and the gentleman did indeed look quite dashing! Beautiful work to be proud of,huzzah!
I've been told that the peascod belly echoes the shape of armour of the time, and since armour signals masculinity and strength and heroics, the same shape in clothing probably sent the same signals, the way military styles have been incorporated into male fashion throughout later eras as well. So it had nothing to do with eating or being fat--in armour, it's a shape to make spears and lances glance off. It can look silly to us, but probably looked very different to people at the time!
Loooooove this! I adore this period of menswear and there's not as many breakdowns/overviews for men as their is women that show base layer to outer accessories + the variations you could have, and this was a FANTASTIC overview! Thank you!
I love seeing the men's clothes. Thank you Lucas for modeling.❤
If Lucas had walked into Good Queen Bess's court, she would have kept him there and tossed Raleigh and the Ear of Essex out on their padded britches. He looks great. Both of you do!
Gives a new meaning to the term ‘fancy pants’
At first I thought this attire was going to look a bit silly....but the end result is really very beautiful! Very handsome!
Indeed.
I'll go with dashing too. Lucas' running commentary was hilarious. You should dress him up more often. ❤
Yes, totally agree. More men's wear and Lucas. 😊
Need More Lucas! He adds just the right amount of humor without taking away from Isabella's presentation.
I was delighted to note a friend I was making clothing for had the most perfect Peascod Belly quite naturally! He was a bit less enthusiastic.
😀🤣
I can see why a "well turned calf" was an asset to a gentleman! And your husband is obviously a gentleman LOL.
You need to dress Lucas more often. I don't think there's anything he doesn't wear well.
One question. A perennial question. How does a chap go to the loo for a number two when his hose are tied to his doublet? It must've taken some forward planning 😅
EDIT: just saw your answer to the question on another post. Of course it works like a jumpsuit. I need some caffeine and breakfast, I think 🤦♀️
Absolutely fabulous! How fortunate he is to have a partner with your skills! You both look like you walked out of a painting!❤
You two should walk the streets and act completely surprised, asking people what year it is and say “Are thou art telling the truth?” Then look very scared. Time travelers 😂
I love that idea!
@@kathleenhensley5951 They have videos where they did take walks in period attire during Covid. They were even in the local to them newspapers.
It was nice to see you giddy over your wonderful recreation. Lukus is a great sport
And he wears it well. Very dashing
He realy looks like some of the portraits out if that era. In a strange way he reminds
me of a portrait of william of orange (william the silent) in his younger years. Painted by Antonio Moro or out of his studio. Beautefully made costumes for both of you!
Well done, and Lucas looks dashing! But my FAVORITE part of the whole video is how sweet and how supportive he is. Every time Izabela downplayed her work in any way, he disputed that. And at the end when it's all together and she said "I'm quite proud of that," he so lovingly replies, "And so you should be." ♥ Also I love how much character he puts on in these clothes with the poses and the bows. It's PERFECT! Find a man who will play dress up with you, you will never be unhappy.
I couldn't stop giggling at seeing Lucas standing tall and proud in nothing but his chemise just before Isabella began the dressing process. The two of you make a very handsome couple (love Isabella's outfit too!).
Wow! You did an amazing job! He looks great.
I was so happy to see a video featuring historical fashion for men. Don't get me wrong, I love all your videos and the pieces you make are spectacular but a little something for the lads now and then is much appreciated.
Lucas is a very stylish Tudor gentelman in those beautiful garments.
Lucas looks very elegant in that outfit!
Just pointing out, these were special occasion clothes for the royal court, judicial courts, celebrations and big events where one went to be seen. Everyday home wear would have been simpler and more plain. Many, especially young men of this and subsequent eras, were often in debt to their tailors. So they basically had a mortgage on their clothes the way we now have mortgages on our houses and have car payments. A perquisite of a body servant like a valet or a ladies' maid was to eventually get the master or mistress' cast off clothing. It was suppose to give the servant an incentive to keep the clothes in good condition. So servants dressed very much in the same fabrics as their employers, but with the really expensive, reusable decorative trims, furs or pricy buttons switched out. Mrs. Musgrove, a character in a Jane Austin novel set about 220 years after this era, complains about a servant being "such a fine-dressing lady" that she spoils the other servants with whom she socializes.
Very interesting, thanks for that
In the US, we'd call a peasecod belly "Dunlap Syndrome" where your belly done lap over your waistband :)
So cool! I'm struck by how few invisible undergarments there are in the men's look- the women's would at least add a supportive layer of bodies/petticoat/kirtle before moving to the visible gown, etc
I think the "cake shape" imitates contemporary armor. The breastplate shaped to slide off whatever coming your way. May the wearer look quite soldierly and masc uline. Armor of the time often showed elements of clothes so why not the other way around? Love your craftmanship. It's outstanding. Cheers from Sweden.
so cute to see the two of you interacting! loved it thanks ❤🏴
It's not a silly outfit at all. It makes a man look big, broad-shouldered, imposing, dominant.
One question: before duels, did the guys stand there for long minutes, undoing buttons? That's somehow funny.
Wonderful video, and beautiful outfit! A very educational experience. It is so interesting to see how the fashion evolved! I really liked the bit about the 'belly' on the doublet. Very interesting! I wonder how similar, or different, the Elizabethan attire was compared to what might have been found in the city state of Italy at the time, or France for that matter. Your work is amazing, can not wait to see more!
Lucas looks amazing in that! He wears it well
Brilliant! Absolutely love this. Lucas was absolutely hilarious and utterly charming.
Goodness, what a handsome Tudor gentleman. So well dressed.
The jerkin being “plain” shows off the wonderful tailoring. Don’t add anything to grab the eye and lose the superior tailoring look!
Ahh he looks amazing!!! I really like it. The pants are insane lol
Lucas looks very sophisticated and elegant in this ensemble 👍🏻
just excellent work!!!! nice to see the male fashion of the era!
The two of you are adorable! Always love an upload from you, Izabel!
I compare your husband in his lovely outfit to any of the blokes seen in the streets wearing torn jeans, tracksuit bottoms, long baggy [very baggy] bermuda shorts with tatty t-shirts and I have come to the conclusion that men in the past actually looked far better dressed than they do today. Even the merchant classes dressed better than they do today. Even the first pair of pantaloons were better dressed than most on the streets nowadays.
What would be nice would be to see your husband dressed as a ''doctor'' of the period would have dressed, not necessarily medical as I am using the term to mean a university graduate although more lawyer or clerk. Although a medical doctor would be good to see as well.
I don't think they would love it a lot when they had to go to the bathroom with an intestinal emergency.
Recreating a plague doctor dress would be amazing too.
Lucas is delightful and looks very dashing! The pants were fantastic
your videos help me immensely when illustrating characters wearing historical costumes! love your channel!
Loved it !!! looks brilliant !!! Not many men / husbands i think would want to wear something like that today. More power to Lucas for loving and wanting to dress in periodic *if i may use that word* garments. You did yet another amazing job
Men today have the most boring clothes. Just variations on the same suit with slight differences in the lapels or tie color. I still yearn for the few months of Young Edwardian clothing!
@@reginaromsey ikr ! Wouldn't that be a wonderful time to be sure :) I have always loved the clothing from around the tudor times and up to the 19th century , the gowns !
@@SelenesCreationsByTheSea with the Young Edwardian days of the 1960’s with men wearing colors! Velvet jackets in jewel holes, Nehru Jackets in damasks! Turtle necks! The most wonderful Psycodelics! It crashed because so many could not accept colors other than black and navy blue, and LSD and mushrooms terrified people not Hip.
Oh my. What a hassle to have to visit the bathroom while all laced up.
Awww you guys are so adorable. Lucas is so charming! Love any time he gets to feature!
Buttons, the bane of your existence, you two make a wonderful duo here
Elegant.👍
Terrific costume and model. 😊Nice to see a gent’s outfit!
You guys are so cute together, and hubby stands and looks like he came straight from that Era, very elegant.
Isabella and Lucas, this is amazing, but I am just perplexed. How does poor Lucas undo his pantaloons to use the’ little boys room’ if they’re attached to his doublet?🤔😁
My thoughts exactly!
You unbutton the doublet and both garments go downn
It must be very difficult to use the bathroom when the trousers are tied with the jacket or are there some shortcuts?
According to the BBC show Tudor Monastery Farm, you train your body to poop at certain times so you can unlace accordingly.
Speaking of court, I would love to see what a gown would look like for a royal court!!! you do amazing work
See previous post
@@priorattire I will, I usually try to never miss any of your posts...I don't know how this one slipped by!!! Thank you
Also, I was thinking of a Victorian Court or a Georgian Court simply because of the rules that the women had to follow.
What a lovely couple you make😊. Your work is splendid and so illuminating. Thank you.
@@vernahrris5601 she's done a handful of French gowns from the mid-18th century, but no proper continental European robes de cour or English court mantuas. It's rare to see robes de cour and English mantuas reproduced by costumers in general due to the cost, as they require a boatload of fabric and the bodice of a robe de cour is essentially a fully-boned and tailored pair of stays you can only wear with one dress.
Really enjoyed seeing how the men were put together. Thanks for that.
I think Lukus looks very dashing in his ensemble
Oh Gosh... You both look amazing.... Isabella and Lucas just wow..... I mean Lucas is already dashing without the outfit... but with, well... lets just say it's probably a good thing I wasn't living in those times or I would have ended up in much trouble!!! I have a question though - Did Lucas like historical attire before you two got together?!!! Actually I have many questions.. But heck.... That one will do for now! ;) Amazing skill Isabella. Really love your skill and your videos and the banter between the two of you.
Since you said he didn't have his own channel, I'm SO GLAD you're showing his attire.
Absolutely gorgeous! I had no idea men's clothing was so colorful and complex in earlier times. What a handsome couple you make.❤😊
I was a bit surprised at seeing that the hose would go OVER the canyons (sp?) but then I remembered seeing portraits of that period and realized that was exactly how they were worn. And when I heard "cross-garter", I immediately flashed on the Shakespeare play "Twelfth Night" when Malvolio was urged to wear his hose cross-gartered to make an impression on Lady Olivia.
I'M GLAD. Not too many sites cover gentleman's garb!
Thank you for this men's attire! Good modeling, Lucas. Yes, quite dashing. And wonderful work on such a complex outfit!
That final vest-jacket made such a handsome difference!
I love seeing male fashions! This particular style is so elegant. I mostly see it in opera (Don Carlo, Les Huguenots or Donizetti's Tudor operas).
This is awesome!! Both of you look spectacular!
That is again absolutely amazing Izabella 😍 Nice to see some gentlemen clothing as well. You did a great job as usual and that makes up a very nice couple.
Im surprised there are no brais! Thank you for sharing , its fun to see your husband dressed up - he is a handsome chap!
He has them on but they are made of very fine linen and a bit of a see through. Also they were optional anuway
Would this be an example of how Shakespeare might have dressed?
it's the right era, but I think it might be a little expensive for Shakespeare? Maybe he'd wear a slightly more affordable version of this
yeah shakespear wasn't a noble so as the other person said, a more affordable version would be what he wore. this was before this kind of entertainment because an expensive hobby (it used to be mainly for commoners, actually)
LOVE this. I want one!
Lucas, you wear this quite well - quite dashing!
I think he looks very handsome ❤. Beautifuly sewn. Love the colors
beautiful garments, this was a great change of pace, to see the men's wear!
Absolutely gorgeous. Sir Lucas indeed is quite the aristocratic gentleman.
Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤ You two look quite handsome together! Grateful for your artistry and the patience of your model 😅🌸✨
please do more dressing up videos of gentlemen in white tights!!
Just amazing! You look like living paintings!
omg - i just love this - and their great personalities to match - absolutely stunning.
Obviously one needs help I can’t see one doing by oneself
Was it the norm, or, a norm for a ladie's gown to match her lord's?
Both are exquisite but I'm simply curious.
My gown doesn’t match, but head, households would use available fabric. To the best advantage so if they had enough posh silk that would work for both men’s and female attire then that’s what would be used. Just a bolt later, but look at Charles I and Henrietta Maria painting, about to go for a ride- they clothes use the same fabric and braiding as well as styling to march
yess some mens clothes! i rarely see this online
Both of you look astonishing in those outfits. Very nice.💖♥️🌹👍👏
Lucas is such a good sport, more of this handsome man please. I do not mean skin!
I love the poofy hose so much, wish we still had stuff this fun to wear.
Wonderful to watch you Work together :) I do have a question: How did he to to the restroom?
Absolutely gorgeous! 😍. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
Exquisite
You need, by analogy with your video about how ladies in crinolines went to the toilet, to shoot a video about how men in pants tied to doublets went to the toilet :)))
I was thinking the same thing, especially if Mrs Cook's pie had a dodgy muscle in it. X
They don't show it much here, but it has a laced flap ! So you untie the flap, pull your shirt up and away from your bits, do your business and then tuck everything back in !
Pooping, though, is a bit more time-consuming and requires you to lace everything back up afterwards :D
Edit : just realised the obvious : you don't have to unlace everything, just threat it all like a jumpsuit : unbutton the doublet, take it off your shoulders and arms, and let it dangle.
@@heatherkemp1846 Oh, yes! And if a man is also drunk at the same time? I wonder how often they had toilet embarrassments? It's hard to take it off even sober. It's a mystery to me why they made life so difficult for themselves.
@@Loweene_Ancalimon That's right, you can unbutton and remove the doublet. However, a jerkin is worn over the doublet, and it will also have to be removed. And if it happens in winter, it is likely that there are still some outerwear. And it also needs to be removed. Thus, each time you have to undress almost completely to poop, which is a long time, and if the room is poorly heated, it is also cold. And at the end of the process, you need to put everything back on. It's a mystery to me why they made life so difficult for themselves by tying pants to doublets.
@@rainbowcrystalll The obvious answer is fashion ;)
Simply terrific! Thank you for your excellent work! And brilliant modeling! 🌺
With how the doublet is laced onto the pants, this leads me to the question of how one would use the restroom when sitting is required?
ya I also wanna know how they take a shit
You untie the laces naturally.
Unbutton the doublet and both laced garments down! But usually you would be expected to do that sort of business in the mornings before getting dressed- or in the evenings.
So it's sort of treated like a one-piece? Unbutton or undo the front of the top and take the pants and top down together like a one piece if a man's gotta do what a man's got to do in the middle of a day?
