Thank you so much, the collar is something I couldn't get right when I made my victorian opera cape, so now, when I upgrade I will definitely use this. Something I will say on your build, the collar most likely connected to the cost, not the cape. However, I very much see the idea as should you have messed up the coat it would have still been a usable garment.
You have a natural talent, especially for the fine details. Your Sherlock Holmes came out very handsome. I love those stitches you used making the collar. I've no talent for sewing. However, I can appreciate fine, detailed work. You nailed it
Elementary (not!) my friend....I've really enjoyed your videos on a Saturday morning. I have a coffee and watch while y family do 'stuff' around the house. Very impressive and I look forward to the short film :-) Tony
Very interesting...and nice ....I have a real Victorian police night coat cape...it keeps me very warm in rainy nights as it’s made out of wool....and I also have a fur one....
Your cape looks beautiful! There's a very similar style of cape that never really went out of style in the Portuguese region of Alentejo. If you google capote alentejano you can see some very nice contemporary examples.
Was fun to watch, though I will say that sleeves are not the Devil's work. I've never been intimidated by doing them, no matter how many times I had to redo them. I would have done a full lining of the coat. Pehaps it can be completed with a coordinating lining fabric. I plan on doing an Inverness coat in the future with the cape part being three tiers and last coming down to the sleeves. For that I will use a lightweight cotton fabric for interlining on the coat part. Plus lots of inside and outside pockets. Tailor's tacks tend to backfire on me, hence the interlining. Whether I'm at home in Washinton state and freezing while waiting for the bus or visit Sweden, I want to be sure that I won't be cold in the outdoors.
The cape turned out very lovely! Now i can't wait to see the short film! Take your time and do it exactly the way you want, like you said, drone shots, Sherlock Holmes references, cool location, all that! By the way, would you consider making a video on waistcoats specifically? Going over different purpose waiscoats, styles, cuts, all that stuff? Appreciate all that you're doing here, take care!
Thank you for you video, please keep going. You deserve 10 times more views, this is the best channel in the menswear area. (This Message come from Hong Kong)
Ahhhhh what a calming video to watch! I really enjoyed watching your process as you slowly piece together the coat! May I ask what music you are using over the fast forwarded parts of the video? I swear I recognise it from somewhere, but it’s slipping from me....
Hey there! I wanted toask where you get patterns for historical and interesting garments, i am looking to start sewing my own clothing and while ill be sticking to simpler things for now i would love to sew more complicated garments like this in the future but i just dont know where to get patterns for nice coats and waistcoats
You can try our tailoring book with a lot of manuals and patterns for a variety of different garments from 1920 Germany: vintagebursche.de/produkt/sewing-vintage-menswear-digital-international-edition/?lang=en Alternatively, you can try searching on archive.org there are some old tailoring books on there.
Kannst du eventuell Mal ein Video über Krawattennadeln und Manschettenknöpfe machen? Ich bin am überlegen mir eine ausgefallene Krawattennadel zu kaufen, bin mir jedoch nicht sicher ob so etwas in die dreißiger Jahre passt.
@@sleeepingman1 well you might be able to find one handmade on etsy or something but since this isnt really current fashion youll most likely to have to make it yourself or pay a lot of money to have it made for you specifically
Marvellous video, I think there's not enough of these high quality videos showing the construction process for historical menswear. Thanks for that and please keep it up! One question - maybe I didn't catch it in the video - did you use natural fibre horsehair canvas for the collar? (And coming from someone just getting into historical sewing and a fellow German, would you mind sharing where you got it from? Most canvas I've come across is in part or purely synthetic. However, I probably have to up my researching game for sewing materials). Thanks!
Yes, that's horsehair I got at a local store. You can buy canvas on eBay (www.ebay.de/itm/264562841822 e.g.), but that's often a blend. Works nonetheless.
Yeah, OUR ideas of Holmes using the Inverness coat and Deerstalker hat comes from those Ridiculous Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes hollywood movies.... As you stated, those clothes ARE only for use in the country. Being a Victorian, Holmes would have worn a dress overcoat and top hat in the city----WHICH IS PERFECTLY ILLUSTRATED IN THE JEREMY HOLMES Sherlock Holmes TV shows....and in Those, the Inverness and Deerstalker are, correctly, only used in the country.
Hello, I really like your style and I enjoy your RUclips videos, but do you really always dress that way in a suit? or only on your free time? I would always like to dress like this too, but I consider that for everyday (going to work, taking bus) it is not appropiate because it seems to be out of place. What is your opinion about that? regards
Roger Johnson, Commissioning Editor of The Sherlock Holmes Journal informs us that "the caped overcoat that Holmes wears in the canon is not an inverness but an ulster - similar, but not identical. On at least one occasion Watson too is said to wear an ulster, and there's mention of some other people as well sporting ulsters. The real surprise is that there is no reference at all, anywhere in the canon, to anyone wearing an inverness. That particular garment simply isn't mentioned. I can only assume that it became associated with Sherlock Holmes because of the connection with the deerstalker - not in England, but in the Highlands of Scotland. And here's a tangentially interesting tit-bit... It's well known in Britain that the first Labour MP, James Keir Hardie was widely reviled when he took his seat in 1892, because he refused to wear the "parliamentary uniform" of black frock coat, black silk top hat and starched wing collar that other working-class MPs wore. Instead, he wore a plain tweed suit, a red tie - and what was described in the press as 'a cloth cap'. It was an accurate but incomplete description, as the cap was actually a deerstalker."
"Way back when" fabric was limited and expensive, so...."piecing IS period"! Wonderful work!
Cotton gin: Am I a joke to you?
I finished my cape winter of 23/24 and love it. I occasionally watch your videos and can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed. Great work.
let's bring capes back in to fashion again!
I'm personally trying XD
Your talent with a needle is impressive as are your videos. Your sense of humor is much appreciated as well.
That lining really works well to add just a touch of colour and "flare" to the otherwise subtle wool. A beautiful garment all in all.
Thank you so much, the collar is something I couldn't get right when I made my victorian opera cape, so now, when I upgrade I will definitely use this. Something I will say on your build, the collar most likely connected to the cost, not the cape.

making an inverness cape to go with my brothers Sherlock Holmes halloween costume, and this video really helped!
THE LINING IS GORGEOUS

I enjoyed the making of this.i tend to buy lovely woollen fabrics and wait until the piece 'tells me what it would like to be.lol
Your pad stitching is so neat!!!

Very attractive and the lining is gorgeous!
Your pad stitching is gorgeous!
Looks fantastic, can't wait for the big reveal short film 😊
Very nice workmanship. I quite enjoy this little series. Soon you'll need a watch chain with a gold sovereign fob. ;-)

Looks like the Inverness one with another smaller cape on top and a fur collar. Super cool. Thank you!

Great Job!

Very nice!
Nice work! I found this very relaxing, can you please share the piano music that was in the background?
This is great! Have you thought about a breast pocket inside the cape? Or a hidden pocket or two? Something for Sherlock to ponder.
Ahhhhh what a calming video to watch! I really enjoyed watching your process as you slowly piece together the coat! May I ask what music you are using over the fast forwarded parts of the video? I swear I recognise it from somewhere, but it’s slipping from me....

Kannst du eventuell Mal ein Video über Krawattennadeln und Manschettenknöpfe machen? Ich bin am überlegen mir eine ausgefallene Krawattennadel zu kaufen, bin mir jedoch nicht sicher ob so etwas in die dreißiger Jahre passt.

where can I buy that product
Count Dracula style 😝
My good Sir, I would like to express my happiness for your video and ask you if your book has na phisical english version.
We did not receive enough pre orders when we anounced the English version, so for now the international edition will be an ebook.
@@Vintagebursche Well, nonetheless, thank you very much for answering my comment. Wish you a good day.
What is the inverness cape? Is it the entire piece of clothing? Or is it only the section that hangs down from the shoulders?
It is the entire piece of clothing. To be really simple, the inverness cape is like a sleeveless coat with a cape.
I love the dark houndstooh suit underneath, where did you get that? It's magnificent
Plain SuitSupply :D The fabric is a thick flannel from Vitale Barberis Canonico.
@@Vintagebursche That fabric is really awesome, thanks for the answer
Brilliant
Off topic: What do you think of shoepassion goodyear welted shoes?
I have a pair and I like them. The value for money is pretty decent.
@@Vintagebursche Thank you!

If you'd like to know where I buy my stuff, check my list of shops and brands here: vintagebursche.de/shops-and-brands

I made it for me.
@@Vintagebursche but where i can buy that kind of clothes?

I wear a suit to work everyday, except I'm working from home since Corona happened.

Well it's absolutly fantastic, wish I had enough money to buy tweed, rn I will have to stich to my luck of finding those pearls in second hand🥲
