Q&A With an Everyday Edwardian
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2020
- Hello everyone and thank you for watching this video.
I thought this would be a quick easy video, but it turned out it took a lot longer to edit..
The point of my channel is to showcase, explain and discuss antiques and fashion history, mainly relating to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as it is not only my hobby, but also my lifestyle - being that I wear these clothes every single day.
Because of this I never thought it was necessary to introduce myself, but after the many questions I've been receiving about myself I thought it was only fair I introduce myself, so I hope that this Q&A will give you an idea of who I am, why I run this channel and gives you some insight into the life of an everyday Edwardian.
If you want to participate in the next Q&A video make sure to check for updates on my Instagram:

People just dress horribly nowadays. No style, everything either utterly sloppy or plain ugly. I love seing someone making an effort and dressing sharp in a classic manner. Props to you and never mind the haters! 👍💪
yes I absolutely agree with your comment! I am a girl, but I love watching his channel and seeing fellow gentlemen with style like him still exist! I wish more men and women would dress like this
Yeah, you're right, its just sad how bad people dress nowadays, even just dressing like in the 60's is better than dressing like today
NO WAY! I'm a follower of the gentleman's gazette myself! How cool is it that two of my favorite channels are linked at the arm?
Yep. That’s quite fascinating.
The waistcoat on your tailcoat is not right, it should be at the same level.
@@keshavrao212 I know. That picture was taken long before I was aware of that rule. I'm planning to get an updated one soon.
@@keshavrao212 I HAVE AN ANTIQUE FROCK COAT. LOVE IT!
@@darianburkhart752 Alright! Now you know. Godspeed.
Aw, the negative questions make me sad. I would be ecstatic if I saw you walking around town, haha. Excellent video; loved learning more about you! :)
What you never hear is the hundreds of people who see you and it makes their day. You only hear from 1) Jerks with small brains 2) people with a lot of confidence.
He looks good but I'd ditch the monocle if I were him.
@@piccalillipit9211 ah yes, the low status smooth brained societal jackals that prey uphill and beat their wives in front of their children, or in the case of the female counterparts of these anthrobipeds, leave the heroin paraphernalia out after a hit.
This world is just focused on Trends, and trends are stupid, cause in most people’s heads it works like this “Fashion’s life, who’s not following it is just not like us and therefore is trash”
It’s just the 21st century mentality ya know? Too many people judging without reason, I’ll never understand why and what those people gain by insulting those who dress like they want.
@@blakemcnamara9105 Neverrrr
Hooray! I really enjoyed your short slapstick clips. Also looking forward to you having a better place to film.
Thank you very much, mate! Hopefully sooner rather than later!!
@@AntiqueMenswear I prefer the 1910s and early 1920s of men's vintage clothes for myself and my fellow Taiwanese 🇹🇼.
@@AntiqueMenswear hey the sound cut out and I think you should fix that.
@@huangwen-si7498 Me too, prefer fashion or at least replica clothes a- la Peaky Blinders of 1910's styled men's fashion until the 1920's.
For some reason at 27:12 the sound cuts out. I tried to use the subtitles to hear the rest of the video, but the subtitles went aswell. But I enjoyed the video immensely. I transitioned to full time vintage from the 50s down to 40s. My ultimate goal is to have a still that is all Edwardian for formal wear, and 30s to 40s for casual wear. You're a great source to learn from.
yeah, that's happened to me too, unfortunate as I really quite enjoying it!!😔
Thanks for letting me know!! I'll check it out!
Here we are, May 26, 2021, and the missing audio is still missing. Too bad; was enjoying the rap.
Hello. This would be a good excuse for him to do another video, to cover what was missed in the latter part of this video. 🙂
@@jamesrobiscoe1174 September 4th 2022 and still no audio. Would really have enjoyed to finish this video.
"a morning suit with crocs" omg I love that I have heard these words
If I saw someone wearing Regency clothing...
*Zack Pinsent enters the room*
In all seriousness, your channel along with the aforementioned gentleman's are great resources for historical menswear. I am very much looking forward to any content you put out. And don't mind the occasional technical difficulties. Your content is invaluable, and the detail is warranted given the severe lack of information on this compared to women's dress.
Since I'm a woman wanting to incorporate elements of historical garments particularly men's into my everyday wear, buying antique clothing isn't really an option. So I'll be attempting to make all my own clothes. I'm currently working on improving my sewing skills by making pyjamas and trying to find books on sewing historical menswear.
I like that you wear old fashioned clothing as a form of rebellion, I totally do that too! And it’s hard to explain to people because they all think I’m a good little Mennonite girl, when really I’m doing it because I hate consumerism and love oldfashioned craftmanship and aesthetics.
Yeah! I suppose it wasn't so much that I wanted to rebel, but that I realised we could rebel. By this I mean, I realised that we didn't have to simply wear what others were wearing, but that we could wear what we personally liked!💕
Oh! I didn’t know you’re writing for Gentleman’s gazette! That’s amazing. I’m so glad when people from my favorite classic/vintage wear channels cooperate.
I have a great appreciation for the gentlemen's' Gazette and find your content superb! I do wish for you to continue in these endeavors as I too have interest in attiring in such a manner. Thank you for the content!
That is one thing I noticed a lot in Japan was how thin the walls seemed. If you were in the alley way you could hear everything being said inside if it was at a normal American volume. Made us much more mindful of ourselves and our surroundings.
Hello Guys,
Thank you for letting me know that around 27 minutes the audio suddenly cuts out!
My original video file does in fact have the full audio, and this video did not have this problem until around 2 weeks ago?
I'm not sure how to fix it - all of my videos use the same music, so I'm sure it's not a copyright strike, and normally RUclips email or give you a notification - none of which I've received. None of my videos have copyright claims against them.
This might just be a weird bug?
And here I thought my headphones all the sudden had a problem haha. I would suggest re-uploading if you can since your original file was uncorrupted.
@@HZ-fg9sf Perhaps I'll just upload the corrupted half！
@@HZ-fg9sf Use captions, the crooked picture frame in the backround
I thought the neighbours had sabotaged your 'phone!
Glad ya clarified this. I was trying to figure out if it was something on my end.
At any rate, I enjoy your style and appreciate your attitude about clothing and “dressing as you like”. Thanks for sharing.
There are so many boring people out there... I'm always just filled with joy whenever I see someone dressed in a unique and artistic way in public, especially vintage styles, since that's what appeals to me personally. Or gender-bending or just in general expressing themselves. Anyone doing their own thing, even if I don't always love the style myself, always makes me really happy!
As long as it's not something offensive (like political or hateful) I wholeheartedly support anyone expressing their art and identity through fashion!
I would wear an SS uniform just to spite you lol
Man I am excited about the future content on this channel. It was really fun to learn more about your life and personality.
Five minutes in and here we have a bloke who dresses as an edwardian gent for his day to day but listens to metal and j pop
My guy is out here leaving the be yourself mantra !
Don't change for anyone!
First off, you look amazing. Especially the monocle. Even the pics of you in a modern business suit with Edwardian embellishments puts me in mind of Hercule Poirot. Slightly past past Edwardian but still so chic! You rock both looks.
Ignore the haters. There is a difference between a follower of fashion and a fashion leader. Lead the way! I get so tired of looking at t-shirts and jeans. You're like a bright island of style and class in a vast sea of dull.
I’m so happy to know that I’m not the only one to get into historical fashion by watching anime with historical theme. I love the lolita dresses, suits and hats in anime so much that I tried to learn more about their history and tried them on. But I wish I had the confidence of these people living with Edwardian and Victorian lifestyle, they don’t get embarrassed or awkward when going out in their favorite outfits. None of my friends wears like I do, and they say I look like an old lady. This is very sad for me. I wish people would normalize historical styles.
By the way, I love this man’s videos a lot! How informative they are!
Don't worry, we get shy and embarrassed sometimes, and sometimes we feel a bit scared of people staring at us.
But we push through it and just enjoy ourselves!
People used to call me an old man, but now they know it's just my style.
You don't need a reason to be yourself. I can't live without a frilly poet shirt and oftentimes I dress partially or totally in 18th century attire (except for the wigs and curls which I dislike)
That sounds splendid!
@@AntiqueMenswear it is, greetings from Brazil!
Hello! I’m one of ur new followers, and I must say, I love your channel. It’s really nice to have a real explanatory channel, that tells me a lot of the men’s fashion through time. I’m working on my vintage style wardrobe, it’s taking it’s time. Since I am sewing all my garments myself in my spare time juggling a job, my own little business, my family, a little homestead, and renovation on our home and homestead. You have bin giving me a lot of inspiration thwarts what else I need!
I just bought groceries dressed in my kilt........in Sweden.
I have the same passion for Highland wear.
So good for you. Dress the way that is authentic to you.
I will. 👍
I came across your channel by accident. I saw you wearing an Edwardian clothing and instantly thought it was cool. I just love historical/history-inspired clothing and admire people, who dress that way😊 keep it up!
inspired by your lifestyle, I really like what you are doing with the clothes
Any time I see a channel like this, I think "they'd make a great time traveler". Then comes your video opening.....VERY nice!
I saw a young man (or it could have been a few LOL) about 10 years ago at University of Texas at Austin wearing a Bowler Hat. I thought to myself ---- I wish I had the courage to do that. :) I'm envious of your bravado and your clothing. Keep up the good work.
You Sir, are a big inspiration! Started working on my Edwardian daywear recently.
You like historical attire and you like metal music! you have good taste!
Hi Sir! Uhmmm, I'm not sure if you know this (but from my research I've done, content creators here aren't notified of this), but your audio at around (27:13) became muted suddenly. This is (I think) probably because you had used copyrighted audio, although I'm not really sure. What I am sure of however is RUclips's algorithms suck.
Because I was actually going to watch the whole thing, but from that part of the video to the end it's all muted now. So, I recommend just not using any audio that you're not sure is copyright free (and is in the "public domain"), just so you avoid this happening again, because it would have been really nice to hear all of your answers. (Because YAY for Vintage Men's Fashion!)
Big fan from the Philippines here! Sending much love! 🙏💖
Thanks for letting me know!! I'll check it out!
@@AntiqueMenswear still not fixed
you are doing a great job. I love watching your videos and dream of wearing antique menswear one day myself.
This was a very interesting video! I love the Edwardian period and actually think of it as like the peak of menswear so I hope to dress Edwardian nearly every day as well! The only thing is that I'm a blue-collar working man so I feel like I would probably only own a few items that fall under the whole "ultra-formal dapper gentleman" category and a lot more practical clothes that you might have seen railway workers back in those days wearing, I feel like that's a really underrated area that I haven't seen many history bounders online cover, which has made it a bit tough to know how to proceed into becoming an everyday Edwardian myself.
your work suits in the modern with the antique styles thrown in is so baller and top g lookin imma try that
I wear button braces and waistcoat on a daily basis. In the loo, it is very easy to unbutton the braces while leaving the waistcoat on. The waistcoat holds the braces in place, so reassembly is easy. That way, the watch and chain need not be moved either. Very validating to see other period dressers. Ta everso!
I'm a latecomer to your channel given that i came from the Gentleman's Gazette video "What Men REALLY Wore in the 1910s", but i really do love your style and passion. So, i without a doubt wish you the best for the future of this channel. If i may make a suggestion, there is this channel called "Trash Taste", it is a podcast of three RUclipsrs that reside in Japan (just like you) and their content is very ample and also they has had hosted many people before. Maybe you could get in touch, you have a very charming personality and a well rounded character which makes me think you could have good chemistry in the show. By the way, one of the host, Connor, do love suits, maybe you can introduce him to a more wide range of taste there. Much love and sorry for the big text wall. A hug from afar.
Hello there!
Thank you for your lovely comment, I'll have to check them out and see what it's all about!! 😁
Oh hey, thanks for the shoutout! Just stumbling across this now!
Brilliant video, it seems odd that every time I go back and watch one of your older videos there is a new one the next day. I have a question, do you personally prefer brown or black shoes/boots?
I have only 1 question : how do you not get hot in all those clothes? Maybe the climate isnt as humid/hot in japan, but where i live its absolutely horrible and i still even get sweaty in open weave linens, much less woolen coats/trousers.
Great video! I was really enjoying it, but at the minute 27 it mutes on, and the rest of the video is silenced...
Thanks for letting me know!! I'll check it out!
I think early 1900s fashion is gorgeous. I often try to create historical outfits in games such as Red Dead Redemption 2
An Edwardian rock/metal fan. Very interesting!!
New sub, convinced with the photo with ms banner in, totally here for all the collar and cuff how-to's and all other lovely stuff! I make all my own stuff and mix in my fast-fashion leftovers where I can. There's something to be said to live in a historically dressed way, it takes time and effort to get it right... and it's a shame people are so quick to judge and shout abuse whilst wearing transparent Primark leggings.
You would completely make my day if I saw you in your beautiful Edwardian style attire, vintage pieces or reproductions. You look absolutely smashing!
The one that threw me off the most was the rock and metal.
I love your style. Very classy and debonnaire. I wish more men dress as well as you, vintage or modern hat/suits/ties/collars/trousers/shoes. Can't believe you're in your early 20s! You have a wonderful flair living in this century and the last one at the same time! Oh, and I liked what you said when strangers heckle you at 12:16, it is spot on!
Why don't you have some of the suits made in Japan. My dad used to love getting his suits made there. You could basically show the Tailors a photo & they were able to do that for him.
Tamara in Kunitachi, West Tokyo. Full-canvassed suits (as well as half-canvassing for the budget-minded client), Holland & Sherry / English + myriad Japanese-produced fabrics, a real eye for tailoring. Shinohara-san is the guy, made all in-house. He’s done two suits for me now, as well as off-the-rack suits’ tailoring. He’s not a franchise.
Awesome...
You ought to make a wardrobe tour video!
Fantastic video with great information. Thanks you got a sub 👍🏻
"That guy" probably sags and wears clothes 4 sizes too big. Keep wearing your amazing outfits, I admire and look up to people like you👍 stay classy 😊
Came here from The Gentleman's Gazette....listened to you for a short while....I subscribed x
Tony
Good on you for rocking the style! I myself have found myself leaning towards what was once the norm but now not, in a 'Max Normal' kind of way (you can Google the 2000 A.D. reference). ;-)
It does indeed seem to me in this modern age that dressing casual, or what was once considered rebellious, has become the new formal, while what was formal has become the new casual, or even punk.
My question was answered. Lol. All goods on the mask. No worries. I do want to say, check out the Tatton Baird Hatters out of Springville, Utah. They make hats the old way, with the old antique equipment and their shop is just as much a museum as well. I believe they do online orders. The vintage style that fits me goes between Panco Villa and a railroad land surveyor or outdoorsman of the American West in the 1910s. As I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The history of the American West and the railroad of that time is rich here. Its period and time whos fashion fits my style. I like the corduroy jodhpurs, tall riding boots and campaign hats. Finding tailors for the American style sack suit is difficult, as I a man of Polynesian ancestry, the clothes of the period in our many antique shops do not fit a man of my size. So I have to mainly rely on tailors who specialize in vintage clothing. Also, for me getting the confidence to wear vintage suit came easy. In Utah the LDS (Mormon) church is dominant. Every male wears a suit to church or to church meetings throughout the week. When I would go out it would be the hat that stood out, but the suit no one would bat eye as they thought you were going to or came from a church function. Anyways, great video.
LUCKY YOU!!!!!!
Aww love gentleman's gazette and kyary pamyu pamyu 😍
Just found your channel researching how shirt/ collar studs work exactly... I mean, It's sort of easy to work out but nice to learn from someone who still wears them, you know? Not going to lie, I'm now desperate to dress like a late Victorian or Edwardian man (I'm a Mum in her mid 40's!!), I'm not new to historical dress & am massively in love with the Victorian era. I have 2 1890's women's outfits under construction as we speak & have made 2 mens half placket shirts from that era, that I adore & wear a lot, hence my research.... I have some gorgeous British wool suiting fabrics & think I *need* to get a design underway for a me sized Mens suit too. How small do collars go? (Though, I'm guessing they're not tricky to make yourself, either? If I can make entire shirts, collars on their own won't tax me, I don't think?) Any way, long story short, thank you!
Hello!
That sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see it!
If you're making your own collars to starch remember not to use contemporary fusing, you'll want all 3 plies to be in linen so that they can absorb the starch 😁
Modern fusing will prevent your collar from absorbing!
@@AntiqueMenswear Thanks for the advice, I'll bear all that in mind 🙂
That coat in the thumbnail is so cool! Where did you get it?
I find your channel very interesting, I found entirely be accident. I dress with a bit of an older style but unfortunately is hard to find stuff for a 6" 2' guy.
Also do you think you'll up load any of your slapstick content? Very big fan of that sort of comedy.
@Jackson Snow thanks that really helps 😊
Darcy clothers
Just happened on your video and have really enjoyed it. It may be my end but the sound goes of at 27:12 which is unfortunate. You seem to have wisdom beyond your years and have a lovely outlook. Looking forward to getting better acquainted with your content. Kind regards from Mold, North Wales UK.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Colin!
Unfortunately RUclips clipped the audio for some reason. I did poll if I should upload the rest again, but I didn't get many replies 😅
I hope you enjoy the rest of my content! 😁
If you've a mind to and it doesn't cost. I found your piece very interesting.
@@AntiqueMenswear I would like to add my vote to encourage you to upload the missing audio again, at least if it's not too much trouble and/or expense. I'd like very much to hear the rest.
Very cool
Gentleman's Gazette!
I’ve seen men’s summer wear during the 1910’s, where a vest was not used. How might they attach a pocket watch?
You're fascintating!
When my grandad died about 6 years ago we found his dads suit from about 1912. It ended up been kept in such good condition because my great grandad was hit in the head with shrapnel a passchendaele and ended up spending the next 9 years in a psychiatric hospital then he died from complications from his head injury. I wanted to try the suit on but my great grandad was so much smaller he must only of been about 5 foot 4 or 5 with a 27 inch waist and 36 inch chest. Way to small for any of his descendants because out of my grandads grandkids I’m the smallest and I’m 6 foot 1 my brother is 6’2” and my 3 cousins are all 6’4”. Only thing missing was the collars and cuffs from the shirt. My grandads demob suit was there as well.
love that hat
Just a tip if you undo the braces at the back then you can go to the toilet without having to undo the waistcoat your trousers will come down enough to not be an issue. The braces will sit at the back of your neck and you simply pull them down and button them back on. Easy.
I would like an episode about bathing suits.
Writing on paper vs note it on phone is that paper doesn't need electricity or an update ;) it always work.
While I have an Edwardian style jacket, I could never go whole hog-- not that brave. One thing I really love is Victorian/Edwardian solid silver card cases. I have one made in Birmingham England, and it's one of the coolest, most beautiful items I ever bought. It replaced my wallet 2 years ago. Of course, you don't keep it in the back pocket, you wear it in a front pocket when it's too hot for a jacket and in your jacket pocket otherwise.
I actually groove on your awesome wardrobe. As a guy that dresses in Victorian style, I feel it's more like a middle finger to modern fashion. Never thought you were a metalhead, either. I would love to see more slapstick from you, also.
im fascinated by the way you dress to vintage styles using present-day and work-compliant clothing. do you have any tips for achieving an edwardian look with present-day clothes? is it a matter of tailoring or just having the expertise to recognize when a piece will work well? what do you look for?
He's been inactive for quite a while, but since I've managed quite a similar result, I find myself apt to reply instead. First: You should think like you belong to that era; If you see clothes that are "modern" but they fit your Edwardian fashion sensibilities, wear them! However, as a fashionable edwardian, you should get a feel for what fits your body. Your skin tone, body shape, height, width, face shape, hair color... It all affects the aesthetic value of your clothing. Clothes by themselves are worthless, it is he who wears them that which elevates them to potentially very beautiful heights.
With this in mind, it's time to focus on the details. Most people are completely ignorant of details that are abvious to us enthousiasts, to the point that to the average person, a man wearing a tie and a man wearing a modest cravat are identical. Use this to your advantage; make your outfit "modern" in principle, but extremely old fashioned in the details. Buttoned shoes, bowler hats, high-rise pants, several types of cravat, lapelle accessories, detachable cuffs and collars... All stunningly antique fashion choices that require a relatively careful eye to appreciate.
In short: Matching color and shape to one's taste while maintaining objective aesthetics is common to every fashionable time period, but the minutia are definetely not.
As a fellow Edwardian-dressing man interested in Japan... hello 😳
Woah, damn fellow, the gentlemen's gazette? I wasn't expecting you being "related" (is that the english term? Sorry, I'm italian and I don't speak english that often. Maybe the true term is connected) to them
I think it's the right term!
I guess I'm not so related to them, but I'm just writing scripts for them free lance 😁
@@AntiqueMenswear truly interesting anyways. I have to say I discovered your channel completely at random, I was looking for high stand collar shirts and discovered the channel from the detachable collar shirts, I subscribed in zero time, even though I couldn't find that type of shirt at the cost I'm looking for. It's quite embarrassing to say, but I'm running on a budget so low I'm under Lucifer's feet of about a hundred meters, mind if I ask you any suggestions for the cheapest high stand shirts on the market?
If your living in Japan, have you been to or worked at Meiji Mura?
Ok i have a question. How on earth do you keep the monacle in place? What kind of magic powers does one have to be able to wear that!?
Dude did you HAVE to bring back starched detachable cm collars?!
Technically, isn’t the crown on your boater too high for Edwardian? I thought this was a 1940’s and later style? Just trying to learn- thought that’s what another video mentioned. Bowler is my favorite also!
I dress in Arsenal Jerseys EVERYDAY
I have a question, do you wear the monocle just for style or are you actually short sighted and takes the opportunity to wear a monocle instead of regular glasses? Sorry for broken english, its not my mother language.
Regards: Bruno
Where do you dye old men's eyewear
I lost audio at 27:13 and it doesnt come back. Is it just the video? 😢
Can I ask about historical men's jewelry? I see you're wearing a ring on your pinky finger. Were signet or seal rings worn?
I have a question. Why are many vintage style enthousiasts into metal? Can't be just a coincidence.
How about W.C.Fields?
Its THE MONOPOLY GUY
You watched Kingsman?
I have to say they dressed soooooo sharp back then.
¡Props! Properly breaking off your due propers, my good man! Holy shit don't you dare go changing... Fuckin' stallion, totally swear! -MXI
I was heckled for wearing a mask after the pendemic. So, I understand heckling.
Me and my entire family still wear N95 masks everywhere, and I wear Edwardian style clothes, so I can completely relate.
4:37 japanese "music", don't we all ... lol
Audio cuts out around 27:10. I presume it's because the backing music was copyright struck? Annoying, because I wanted to hear what you had to say about Darcy's. Thought I saw you in Brighton recently, but since you're in Japan it must have been someone else wearing Edwardian suits (!)
Considering how low ‘Atsugiri Jason’ sets the comedy bar in Japan as far as _gaikokujin_ here are in on it (i.e., so low you’d measure his cringe-inducing nadirs in ‘fathoms’), you ought to be the proverbial shoo-in, mate!
Edit - if you _do_ make a suit here in Japan, I’ll repost a reply I made in the comments down below; ‘Tamara’ in Kunitachi, West Tokyo. Full-canvassed suits (as well as half-canvassing for the budget-minded client), Holland & Sherry / English + myriad Japanese-produced fabrics, a real eye for tailoring. Shinohara-san is the guy, all made by him in-house. He’s done two suits for me now, as well as my off-the-rack suits’ adjustments. He’s not a franchise like ‘Azabu’ or anything. Failing that, Isetan in Shinjuku has personal tailoring that’s alright but it’s all just half-canvassed, though very high quality regardless.
The audio goes after you mentioned the fire station 😞
Hi there, I hope you can help with reccomendations. The persona I portray within our reenactment group is a 50+ year old sergeant who has served many years but is now a reletivley comfortable gentleman farmer. I'd like to wear civilian clothing too, i have a great shirt, waistcoat and trousers from Elgar Sirts here in the UK but my problem is a jacket to suit the image can you or your viewers help?
Summing up
58 yr old
Short & rotund
Yeoman/Getleman farmer
Rural/ market town in Somerset
Circa 1914
When you said you live in Japan, I said aloud, "Freelance English Teacher", and then you said it.
There's no sound starting at 27:20.
Are you wearing a pre tied bow tie?
Maybe,back then many people wear pre tied because it was pain in hell to place the neckwear band at inside the stiff collar
At 27:12 the audio disappears. T.T
Youre lit
What size are you? Because people 100 years ago were smaller than we are now. We have my great grandads suit from about 1912 and it looks like it was for a 12 year old.
Anyone from Madrid that dresses vintage?
Edwardian Pamyu Pamyu
I found you from the gentleman’s gazette
