What hat gets the most wear in your wardrobe? What hat would be worth a splurge?
Well there at a lot of hats in classic dress and almost as many in my own personal wardrobe. I’m not sure how may I have but the largest group is straw boaters. When is comes to a signature hat that is unfailing in it’s ability to complete an outfit the straw boater literally takes the cake! I love a boater and though I would love to wear it year round hat just like clothes have seasons. Boaters and all straw hats are typically worn in the spring and summer which begs the the questions, what is in my winter hat wardrobe? For that I would need to go with the fedora. Now a fedora has become a catch all name for any hat that has a snap of the brim and a teardrop crown but not all these hats are the same and not all will look the same. Just like any item its all about how you style it. The creases, dents, bends and tile of the hat can make all the difference.
Theres a hat I've seen you wear that looks like an oversized, newsboy cap. What kind of hat is that and how do you style it with your wardrobe?
Great question The newsboy cap is a type of flat cap. Flat caps, which are called everything from Cheese cutter in New Zealand to a Driving cap in the United States are a type of headwear that are quite old and are said to date back to the 14th century in parts of the Northern UK like Leeds and Manchester and parts of Scotland. It’s often associated with country living and working class people. It’s designs differ from the newsboy a bit in that flat caps tend to have a more oval top and are completed without the button on the top. The newsboy cap is often an 6 or 8 panel cap. The bigger and blousier versions of the hat are call applejacks and the even bigger a big apple. Since its a decidedly casual hat, I either use it to match something that is possibly a bit casual or to tone down a item thats more formal. For instance when wearing plus fours, I really lean on the newsboy or applejack a lot because since the 1920s plus fours have be designated at sports wear. So I like to incorporate them into looks that are on the less formal end of the spectrum. Also practically, I wear these types of caps when it’s windy or it’s cold especially my wool ones. Speaking of casual items here’s this
Could you do a quick overview of casual vintage clothing, preferably from the 1930s to 1960s- like outfits that aren't full suits.
When looking at vintage casual wear a few key is comfortable separates. Items like Sweaters, unstructured Jackets and wide leg denim and trouser are some of the staple for casual wardrobe. For sweaters I suggest looks for collegiate and letterman sweaters as well as shawl collar they can soft and cozy but have details that allow them to work in so many occasions. Of course sweater vests are making a “come back” in pop culture, news flash they never left. But pull over and bottom up sweater vests can be a great way to adda vintage aesthetic. You can wear a button down, polo or long sleeve polo under all of these.
When it comes to unstructured jackets my go to is a 49ers Pendleton jacket. They are super comfy and but have all the details that make them seem dressed up. There are characterized by wide point lapels, three to four patch pockets and bottoms down the front and cuffs (sometime leather). Hot take - If you have buttons on something these days you level up the dressiness of it. Also get these Pendleton jackets on eBay or etsy. don’t buy them new until you read up to of the conversations around Pendleton and cultural appropriation. Other similar jackets exist from Eddie Bauer and Woolrich
Finally I would suggest finding some wide leg denim or trousers. They can wool, corduroy, or even denim. But the wider they are they more vintage they will look. For me pleats are always a plus but some without can work.
What are your vintage style questions?
Yes on the hats video.
Yes on the casual clothes video.
Shoes? Sources and styles?
My question: adapting men’s clothing styles to female bodies, whether trans or gender fluid or just wanting to mix up the presentation a bit. Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe a guest speaker?
How do you style your tea? I’ve become quite a fan of Yorkshire Gold.
I work in horticulture, so pretty rough and ready. Come the milder/warmer months I have a pretty good landgirl vibe going on (it helps that I'm a needlesmith), but I'd love a deeper a dive into workwear. I haven't cracked winter, because between the cold and the getting wet I really do just stop caring about what I look like so long as I'm warm and dry.
I would be interested in a video that talks about where to cut corners. We all would love to have an exclusively vintage exquisitely material wardrobe… But that ain’t gonna happen for most people… Where, in your opinion, are the best places to fudge a bit.
Yes please on the video on casual vintage.
It’s such a robust subject. I’m excited!
I second this 👍🏾
I too would love to see a longer take on vintage casual wear.
@@nicklh186 I third it!
“My days of freezing my buns off for fashion are over. Over I tell you.” *sips tea *
Yes. This.
Dandy, I have no questions just an applause for a guy that encourages people to live the vintage life. Carry on my brother. Also you look fabulous.
I really love watching them, and I always learn at least a little something. You’re really entertaining (shocking, since you’re an entertainer, right?) and you always look fantastic, so I’d be willing to watch you talk about, idunno, socks for a whole video. 😂
Very kind of you to say! I'm a nerd about these things anyway but these video allow me to do more and more research. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video as always! I would definitely love both a casual vintage video and an in depth hat video, I'd be especially interested in hats with brims. When I go to university or any sort of store I need a hat to create shade as the lights give me severe headaches and nausea, but the only type of hat I've found so far that has enough of a brim is a baseball cap and perhaps a flat cap of sorts, but it is hard to find and style hats in a vintage outfit whilst still having the shade from the hat I need. Once again awsome video and looking forward to the next :-)
Thanks for watching and this comment. There are a few hats that could work for you. There is also a style a baseball cap that has a super long brim. My friends at Butcher James sell them but I'm sure you can find them vintage too.
I suffer from chronic migraines, and have incorporated hats into my daily style to help reduce the amount of light getting in over my sunglasses. I advise going into a shop that has a wide variety of fedora style hats to figure out how wide of a brim that you require. Personally I found wearing a peaked cap useless for keeping the light out, as it didn't prevent light coming in from the sides.
For summer, a straw hat, even a boater, is perfect for me
I'm glad you mentioned Pendleton! Us Native Americans are CRAZY about Pendleton! I won a Pendleton shawl in a raffle one time that I gifted to my Mom (half-blood Seneca), and she loves it! I even have a Pendleton denim vest, and it is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe!
Really? That's pretty cool to know. I've met maybe 1 native or indigenous person in my life. Maybe you should write or make a video about vintage too.
14:48 FINALLY someone willing to stand up and defend the honour of pleats!!
Yes! Hat video! Please and thank you!!!
I just found your channel. I love men who take the time to look nice, like they did 1950s and back. I love a man in a fedora! Both of my grandfathers wore them and the movies I grew up watching as well. I am a 1940's history buff so I love men's fashion from that era. Women have always been expected to dress up but casual mens wear seams to keep going from grunge to grungier.
I would also love a whole video on casual vintage!
will do! Thank for watching!
Gene Kelley had a great casual stylish look.
I love hats! Pleated trousers are heaven!
You are the first RUclipsr I've ever seen do a land acknowledgement, that was really awesome.
I'd love a video on casual vintage clothing - especially using natural fibers. I'd love to get into vintage clothing, and I'm especially interested in casual clothing. Thank you!
Yeees please more casual vintage~ and maybe a hat tour of all the hats you have. 😁 I remember my grandpa and granuncle wearing the busboy hats and letting me wear them when I was little. They were my favorite thing to wear.
I love your use of colour in your outfits
My favorite hats are the newsboy cap and the porkpie. The smaller brims suit my face shape a little better. We probably don’t have as many hats in my house as you, but there are three of us, and we all love hats. So... 😅 there are quite a few.
I would love to see a video about hats and a video about casual style!
Very much looking forward to that video on hats.
This video is making me smile so big my face actually hurts. Love this so much! My dad was a big hat wearer. Your style is so wonderfully fashionable, vintage, and friendly. 🙌
Oh man, I used to have a newsboy that I got from my grandfather (it was too big for me) and I loved it. I don't remember what happened to it; need to find a good replacement, I lost my pinstriped flatcap that was great but not quite right.
Love casual vintage! Put suspender buttons on my Levi's backdating them to the 30s for that working man vibe
I would love a video on hats like the one you did on vests
Great video! I would love to see the videos on hats and vintage casual style 🙂
For lettermen style cardigans and such, I recommend Dehen out of Oregon. I have a couple of pieces from them. Pricey but should last you close to a lifetime if cared for.
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@DandyWellington you can find them easily on many sites for far cheaper, new and used.
Hats! The optical illusions related to how a person looks in a hat are serious business. I'd love to know your thoughts on hats, their standard form and what an unconventional styling of a hat can do for the wearer.
What about the different vintage sportswear and hats: horse racing, polo, cricket, and baseball?
Love the bow-tie! And you’re certainly a star even if the entire world doesn’t know who you are - yet.
kind of you to say. Thanks for watching! 😀
I love listening to you. 🤩
Would love casual summer outfits and a hats video: )
Would love to hear your breakdown on hats! I’m still trying to figure all that out when I peruse the Electronic Bay for hats
I would love a video singing the praises of pleated trousers!!
I got to step up on my hat game man I would like a hat video
I would love a casual/work wear video. Great video
Absolutely loved this video. Have a great day Dandy 👍🏻👍🏻
Love all your style videos! would love to see more of your hats!
As always, great video that I've learned a lot of new things from. Thank you for continuing to make videos on vintage menswear!
Great video! 🤠😎
Wow what amazing content! Thank you for teaching and inspiring us. And what an angels voice you have bro 😊
Wonderful video! I'd love to know your thoughts on women wearing vintage/retro menswear and any tips and tricks you might recommend, and I'd love to see more from you on hats. I've been wearing a lot of sailor trousers and button downs since the pandemic began, forgoing the more feminine vintage look I've done the past few years, and it's always fun to learn about new styles (especially casual wear; while I'd love to rock a Marlene Dietrich-style tux, I'm not quite sure how to go about it yet).
I do love some videos about hats, like the wide black satin sache boater or the classy fawn homburg (😉), but I have to ask you: how are the 1910s and 1920s suit fabrics?
Thanks for your question! Are you asking about the type of fabrics that were used?
Yes! I would like to know if they were heavy and course or more like the modern ones.
I love your channel...and you're quite funny, too.
I live in Hong Kong and the vintage scene is just burgeoning. In the meantime, I fly to Tokyo at least once a year to get my vintage fix. Have you been there and if so do you have any places to recommend? For me, one of my favorite places is Komehyo in Shinjuku. While they don't carry true vintage sometimes i can find something old school. On my last visit, I picked up a NOS classic A-cut garbardine Burberry DB trench that they don't make any more. Olive, but almost like a Solaro cloth in that depending on where the light hits it it throws off a reddish tint.
I like your suit by
Loving your channel! Abbey Cox introduced me to your channel. I've subscribed.
❤️❤️❤️
Hello sir, greetings from Australia. Im a bit late to your channel, but have just watched this video and was inspired to write to you about hats. I too love classic hats. I own fedoras, homburgs, bowlers, a boater (I want more), top hat, flatcaps. My question is about berets - I have a few and love wearing them, but can find little advice on how to do so with classic menswear; do you wear berets, and if so how do you style them?
Teapot is wonderful; however, the cup sooooo doesn't go with it - even if we're talking "mix & match". :)
I'd love a hat video. I'm trying to copy an extant newsboy cap. It's a bit odd, as it has more of the ivy cap shape, but has 6 panels like a newsboy. I only have flannel. Is that thick enough? I plan to use two layers with interfacing. I also have an in-progress beret. It's also flannel, and a bit too flat. Any tips?
Where can I find boater hats
Thanks
Curious. How do you suggest someone carry a sidearm with vintage dress. I've noticed that since wearing high waisted pants designed more towards 20's style, I don't have belt loops. Thus, I cant wear a holster. Do you suggest a sling or shoulder holster?
Why on earth do you need to wear a side arm? Their are many different styles for that, often very vintage looking. You might want to go with a 30/40s detective look with an all leather strap holder.
@@occipitalneuralgia2339 thanks for the tip!
i want to witness a straw hat riot
but how do you style and wear wide-leg, pleated pants if you have big hips and short, short legs? i feel i will look less like a vintage man and more like a sad clown! lmao
The quick zooms are distracting
Ok I’m sorry but the cultural appropriation thing is a dumb argument. So I suppose only Mexicans can open and run a Mexican restaurant or the same for an Asian restaurant?….
Another fantastic video! You have such great insights, and inspire me to try out my hand a vintage hat (that I make of course).
