0:54, actually you might be interested to learn that there are several laws surrounding the use of the term antique and vintage. For example, in some countries antiques are untaxable which means an antique is legally defined to be of a certain age which can require evidence and documentation. In other countries certain items (like animal horn used for buttons, canes or accessories) are illegal unless over a certain age, the laws are there to exempt antique items from other laws, and the 'age' of an antique is typically defined as being between 80-100 years old. This means that legally an item must be 80-100 years old to be considered officially 'antique' (depending on your country). Vintage is less well defined legally unless you look at other areas such as vehicles.
I told my friend that I like vintage/ classic outfits but he said It won't suit me as I am 5'4. Is it true ? Which will be best for me retro vintage antique?
I practically only wear true vintage for a few reasons. Typically I just like the style that was popular 40-150 years ago. Clothes were also of higher quality and made from natural fibers which is nice. And a lot of it is also the memcrabilic aspect. Just the thought it existed and was likely wore by some business man in the 1940s or whatever time frame is really interesting to me
Oh I loved this video! The majority of what I wear is true vintage which I love to curate. Its amazing how well things were made and how with a little love they'll last for much longer.
Very nice and useful video! In Poland, there is currently a trend for online stores (mainly on Instagram), which have in their name "vintage", although they often sell only second-hand clothes, which are not vintage, reproductions or even in vintage style. I am really annoyed by this trend of labeling every second-hand thing as vintage.
I remember talking to my mom about these terms way back before they were cool, and we had come to the conclusion that there was not only an age connotation, but a value connotation. If something was called 'old' it was being treated like junk, but 'vintage' and 'antique' added value to it. Retro is somewhere in between.
The thing about retro is that the older you are the more likely you wore it in your youth. Retro might be fun for today's 18-24 yr olds, but I wore it when it was new. Now it's old hat and that's why it's has less value than vintage/antique, but more value than 'old' to me, I might have some 'old' in my drawer, that you would call retro
I really enjoy your videos. It's nice to see a man who actually takes the time to look nice. You have a wonderful style. Thank you for explaining the different terms that pop up when looking for things. I've seen the term NOS before and wondered what it meant
Ich habe gestern erst deinen Kanal abonniert und heute schon ein großartiges Video. :) Das "Kronjuwel" meines vintageinspirierten Kleiderschranks ist ein Nachthemd aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Ich habe es auf einem Flohmarkt gefunden und es ist eigentlich etwas zu groß und musste schon mehrmals von mir repariert werden, aber das Gefühl so ein Stück Geschichte zu tragen ist unbeschreiblich!
Yes! Decade is FAR more informative, because it doesn't change. For example music: Club advertises RETRO NIGHT. What is that? Is it retro 80s - the decade that they were referring to when they said retro night when I was 19? Or has the term moved along with the passage of time, and they mean retro 90s music? (Or 85-95? I've heard that mix it's... odd.) Knowing what you're in for matters. Not that it has mattered for a year now; but regardless, clear communication attracts the people who are interested. What a concept.
Da gerne TV-Serien als Quelle für Anregungen genannt werden. Hier einige aus meiner Sicht interessante Filme von Fritz Lang, allerdings in schwarz-weiß: Dr. Mabuse - Der Spieler (1921) Spione (1928) M (1931) Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse (1933)
My favourite winter casual coat is a beautiful vintage Irish tweed walking coat (1950s). Constructed from a brown and beige herringbone, the heavy wool is wonderful and the raglan sleeves allow for a great amount of movement. And the Mrs. loves it, so that’s a win. ;) As always, your knowledge of classic menswear is invaluable; thanks for another informative video.
I got my first reproduction piece last summer, a 1923 men's workwear shirt from PikeBrothers. And I love it! I tried it on at Fein und Ripp in Berlin and was completely suprised that it fit me. I can't seem to find a women's shirt that fits me right, but historical men's shirts apparently do! So I also got a Finkenwerder Fischerhemd :D
I will say I have a very oddly shaped body so I don't invest in clothes that are vintage because I would ultimately ruin it, but stuff such as furniture or jewelry is very exciting for me. My brother is actually getting my great-grandfather's silver pocket watch in inheritance, and knowing our great grandfather's story from WW1 adds a lot of warmth to it. There are a few pieces in our family we just won't let go of.
Thankyou for explaining it,i saw someone sell a 80s allen edmonds saying it a vintage and some 50s topper calling it antique,my true vintage is an 30s summer suit and i realize now many of things in my wardrobe are antique.but thank you for clariyfing the term!
I mostly have true vintage/true retro dresses in my collection, but I find reproduction accessories are often the only ones on the market. I usually see NOS listed as deadstock by decade in the UK.
The spirit behind antique is tied to that 100 year mark, meaning no one is likely to be around today that had the item during their lifetime. Retro however, is very much past items that a person likely owned or seen in the stores during their lifetime. You may not have bought a phonograph new from the store when they first came out, but you likely bought a cassette tape in order to hear the latest music. Vintage is likely something your living parents had but was not on the store shelves during your time.
I love your videos and all style and look. I saw that sometimes you use a walking cane in photos. Could you consider making a video about walking sticks - history, why to use it and if it could be used in these modern times? Thank you!
When I was little my mom told me that vintage meant « already worn » and I was convinced for the longest time that when you wore something and donate it, it would be vintage for the other person 😅
Retro, if I'm not mistaken, is different from the way you defined vintage and antique. It is not an indicator of age as are the other two but rather a way to describe something as imitative of the past So something retro doesn't necessarily mean it's old but rather something that mimics something old. An authentic 50s diner table is vintage whilst a brand new Amazon purchased 50s "inspired" diner table is retro
I disagree with your definition of "retro" and "vintage". I believe the correct definitions are: *Retro* is something new that looks old, is styled to look old or is a copy of something old. *Vintage* is something that is actually old. So, a retro jacket is a recently manufactured jacket styled AS IF it was from the 30's (for example) while a vintage jacket is ACTUALLY from the 1930s (or whatever).
I have a watch which belonged to my great grandfather...he gave that watch to one of his subordinates... during 1920's... that subordinate gave that watch to an english soldier....that soldier's grandson gifted that watch to me.....the watch is now fucking 116 years old...
I have two nice jackets, Hugo Boss, 1975 ish, and a Haris Tweed, brushed cotton lining, with silk lining at the back. Are these worth anything, the Tweed jacket looks vintage!
Can you recommend to me some interesting fantasy books, which are either old enough to exist in a nice leather, cover, or which might be new, but therefore, in an old looking addition, because I would love to have some old looking books. Which I’m actually interested to even if I have generally books that look nice and old and other books, which are interesting because of this being two different things, I would really like to have some books who who bring together both of it
vintage as in vinting, as in the act of making wine? where a wine can be of vintage of 2021 or of the vintage of 1921. why are you using this word to describe a category of old or new clothes at all? sorry i am not into fashion. more about language :)

For clarification, I assume you mean antique is 80 - 100 years and older.
damn his room is my dream room, still working on it
My favorite period in history of menswear is 1860-1910. I liked to see you wearing a top hat and a frock coat.
Thanks again for 20k subscribers! Next up will be the promised "Discussing your Outfits" video.
I told my friend that I like vintage/ classic outfits but he said It won't suit me as I am 5'4.
Is it true ?
Which will be best for me retro vintage antique?
@@jerry.196 of course not. You just need to pick the "right" decade/style for you. Double breasted 1930s could work e.g.
@@Vintagebursche thanks for the reply 😊

I always love your videos! Could you consider making a video about vintage style hats, especially Homburgs, Bowlers and Top hats?
Duly noted!
Could we get a "Go shopping with me" style video but in a vintage theme? Would be cool.
Oh and where did you get that NOS frock coat?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to figure something out.

Glad to have you back. It has been too long.
It’s nice seeing another man liking vintage clothes like me. I think I’m werid for liking these things.
I would avoid thin ribbon-type ties.
I was looking for the male version of Karolina Zebrowska, and I finally found him 😂🙌🏻
Always learn something in your videos ! Just barely started this one & had to comment.
Keep on doing great content !
I love your videos and all style and look. I saw that sometimes you use a walking cane in photos. Could you consider making a video about walking sticks - history, why to use it and if it could be used in these modern times? Thank you!
Many thanks for this video! Could you make a sewing video on how to alter a modern waistcoat to make it more "antique"?
Ich liebe die 1920er. Ich bin am überlegen einen Laden zu eröffnen 🤔
Bloody Brilliant Sir!!! 💯
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Can you make a video explaining the correct way of roll up sleeves
There are thousands of images of that on the internet. No need for a video.
I might have stopped doing what I was doing to click this video.
You are my inspiration, i love you ❤😔👊
Btw, how tall are you?? 👉👈

At first I coiuldn't understand what kind of english pronunciation it is and than I got it's german.
vintage as in vinting, as in the act of making wine?
where a wine can be of vintage of 2021 or of the vintage of 1921. why are you using this word to describe a category of old or new clothes at all?
sorry i am not into fashion. more about language :)
