    You do a fantastic job on showing us how complaining about wearing some of today's clothing is nothing compared to days gone by; my Great Grandmother (1895-1995) & Great, Great Grandmother (1877-1969) on my Mother's side, BOTH of whom I (soon to be 63) was fortunate enough to have around, shared many a tale of how one got dressed, different occasions for different outfit etc.
    You never left to go out, in the city especially, without dressing well and groomed, if you could afford it and, had the patience of Job!

    • @bruceleehace20anos17
      @bruceleehace20anos17 2 года назад

      Those buttons were functional but long before that. At the bottom of the tails there were buttonholes, those buttons were fastened in the buttonholes to be able to ride a horse. With the passage of time they were no longer used and the buttons only remained as an aesthetic touch.

    • @SStupendous

  • @Jo_Wardy
    @Jo_Wardy 7 месяцев назад +2

    Watching this someone would usually think they were fancy back then but this is probably just your casual suit worn in town for shopping and walks but the fancier suits were more black or grey and had fancier neck ties and coats

    • @SStupendous
      @SStupendous 7 месяцев назад +2

      Indeed, in the 1840s this was casual wear. Darker frock coats were also everyday items, and tailcoats still too, though increasingly more formal.
      We forget how suits have always been worn until about the late 60s; in the 1930s for instance there was a concept of a "house suit", "business suit", etc.... business suits are perfectly normal, a suit just for being at home is unheard of now. Most men born say in the 1920s, perhaps your grandparents, would always "dress up" for dinner. That was the case with my grandfather at least, and he was born in the mid 20s.
