As most documentaries look at women's fashion in the Tudor era, we thought it would be fun to look at how the men's fashion changed too! We hope you enjoy!
I would love to find out more about men's fashion in the period. Especially what the men who were the clerks, counselors, barristers, and the like wore. Thank you. I'm loving your series.
I recently discovered your channel and videos, and I LOVE them! Thank you for them. And I love your voice. I would totally wear the Tudor fashions for men, especially during Henry VIII - early Elizabethan time. However. I would modify, smooth out (and ditch!) the excessive cod piece silhouette number - ugh! and make it more like the modern day of men's tights/pants. I was stunned that even men wore girdles for the desired look. ( V-shape! )
Could you do a video on children's clothing during the Tudor period? Could we have it be about the common or poor people as well as nobility? New subscriber here and I am enjoying your videos very much!
Thank you for your interesting comments. I will look into this but as far as I am aware, they were dressed exactly the same as their parents? Children were not seen as a separate entity and 'teenagers' were not even invented until the 1950s. The poor people's clothes seem to remain pretty similar over the centuries, plain hard wearing fabrics etc. :)
I’ve always wondered how they kept those tights or leggings from bagging up since their fabric choices didn’t include spandex. I’m guessing they were wool? Doesn’t seem very comfortable, as in itchy? It’s interesting that with all that bulk, the legs were the only body part with free movement. Also, I know the linen inner shirt for both men and women was washable but were any of those heavy outer garments ever cleaned? I remember my mother telling me how in the 1930’s people used ‘clothes brushes’.
Thank you for your question Rodrigo. The answer is partly fashion (as today - think how weird the concept is of wearing makeup for example - or high heels) and partly because the Tudors were all about importance and wealth. Fabric was so expensive and the more debilitating the clothes, the more you would show you had no need (or ability) to work. Men only started dressing more soberly after the industrial revolution.

"Very powerful presence" *zooms in on codpiece*
Very interesting! Thanks!
This was amazing!! I’m sewing a Tudor era piece right now and the overview was incredibly helpful. Thank you
It looks complicated, but very pretty!
It was further complicated by the lack of buttons or zips - everything was pinned on. Sometimes as much as 200 pin for the women's clothes.

A charming and informative series many thanks
Love the calm dignified narration.
Really interesting! This was a very interesting video. Just a question, what are those puffy parts of the leg clothing called?
Paned slops, generally.
Very interesting. Please, do you know what Shakespeare would have worn?
Please talk more about Shakespeare would have dressed
Do you have any information on what the clergy would have worn during this period?
Fabulous

The cod pieces were used as pockets? They kept their money in their crotch?
“Fur collars, trim” or lining!
Forgetting Henry the 8th wore a cod piece also. In the 1540s
Did any men back then have super short hair other than the ones who were balding? Was it common
Buy thy? I wonder why they dressed like this?
