I did this a lot when I was starting out. Building a vintage wardrobe takes years!
Hi Antique Menswear
!
Too many accessories make you look like a parrot" I laughed out loud, you are so witty. Rupert is looking smart with his bow tie!
This is honestly how I must do my dressing. Being just over 6'2" tall makes finding ANYTHING vintage that fits me generally impossible.
Things down at 5’3 are just as frustrating 😂😂😂. To live in a bespoke world where great fits would be possible 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
spotsill Seconded! Even the 5’10” world provides few options.
I don't have a problem with the length I'm 6' but the waist is a major problem.
@Heiliger Katholik Shouldn’t, but I do. Height isn’t everything; torso and leg proportions cause most of the issues.
It you’re 5’7”- 5’9”, finding vintage clothing is a little bit easier.
3:34 - he broke my arm ... i yell-laughed ^^
I followed your excellent "You fake it until you make it" motto and had a third buttonhole sewn into my Harris Tweed jacket for the spare button. Now it looks tremendously better with regard to vintage style! Thanks for your useful tips and send my regards to Sebastian:)
I know this video is old now, but just wanted to give some love on it.
I wish every single man would dress like this. I'm a vintage woman and I NEVER see anyone dressed to fit my aestethics, and y'all look handsome as fuck in it!
Part of the reason taking in the shoulder seams of a waistcoat is pretty difficult is because that's often the first seam sewn in putting together a waistcoat, so everything else builds on top of that. Especially the neck hole/collar as you said, and the arm holes as well.
Es hilft auch wenig, dass der Knöpfpunkt bei den meisten RTW-Marken in den letzten Jahren wieder nach oben gewandert ist: Immer noch zu niedrig für 10er und 20er Jahre Vintage, aber zugleich zu hoch für den Classic Menswear-Look späterer Jahrzehnte. Schönes Video!
Cutting the fabric at the shoulders is the easiest method for modern waistcoats without lapels. I did mine takes around 1½ hour to hand sew the shoulders and the linings though.
You are a genius, you mix toturial style videos with cool style and humour. And most importantly you know that you want to be close to the subject when explaining something! Good luck in the future! 👍
I love how you implement humor in your videos, it makes the content even better.
I really enjoyed the video and very helpful to achieve a vintage modern look haha. It's hard to find vintage mens wear that's not too expensive. Thank you!
Uniqlo's U collectiob does vintage looking shirts, not spearpoints but a generous collar with a small tie gap and a nice cotton linen blend fabric.
Excellent tips. My hubby is mostly good with the braces and hats, now to work on his waiscoats and shirts...Thanks for sharing!
Every one of your videos is clear, concise and above all really useful for blokes making vintage clothing. Thanks
damn, just th into is already peak content, the sheer adorableness of yu not only haveing named you dressform, but now that interaction too . . . I am a huge fan of that, the video has not even properly started and I've already liked it ^^
Can you make a video about outfits from the romantic era?
Noted!
I love vintage clothes. They are just so classy compare to current fashion. Keep up ❤
I love long rise trousers and I have been wearing them in wool , linen and chinos. Pleated is also a yes for me and cuffs (turnups) on the bottom. Kind of like Clark Gable and the movie stars used to wear. Thank you for this video discussion.
Thing is, whenever I buy nice-looking vintage suits here in the USA, they always come with flat-front bell-bottom trousers. Is there away to remove the bell-bottoms or install pleats?
Of course you can remove the bell-bottom by narrowing the ends of the trousers legs down at the two seams. However, installing pleats requires a lot of excess fabric which is usually not there.
Can you make a video/blog post on period accurate glasses/sunglasses? Possibly discuss some of the characteristics and makers then and those today that imitate the period style well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.
Noted!
@@Vintagebursche Thanks! Do you find rolls of vintage fabric online or locally at shops? For example, I am thinking of the fabric you used to make the bow tie. Is it a glen plaid fabric? I'm curious to know the weight too. Maybe there is another idea for a video here...
Great tips! Thanks!
Love from my heart
It was a pleasure to watch this video sir .
Great video and I like the humor and relaxed attitude 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻. Sounds like it might be easier to make a waist coat with a vintage pattern. What decade did the fit, collar and button stance change in waist coats ?
All good advice.
Another home run!
Great video! Just got my first custom made Suitsupply suit in a grey herringbone. Totally ripped of of your dark grey three piece Suitsupply suit on insta. Quick question, did you shorten that waistcoat? The one in the peaky blinders photoshoot.
Der Hut steht dir!
I do this. All my suits are modern because im 14 and i buy all my own suits. So usually ill just add a pocket watch chain to a three piece suit. Or ill just add a hat.
Nice tips, as always
Thank you for your kind words, as always. ;)
@@Vintagebursche 💪
Trust me, no slim or tapered trousers will improve an outfit so much for most people's physiques. Especially in the case of the common ready-to-wear tapered trouser, which generally sucks
I just made a women's version of this video, so its very interesting seeing a men's version :D ...love your videos!
Oh perfect, I'll watch it straight away! 😁

Ja man, Simon James Cathcart is einfach perfekt
Were do you find some historikal correkt Informations about the right Clothing ?
3:40 OMG he broke my arm LOL
Is buying trousers one or two size bigger and taking in the waist a good idea?
Basically you can do that, but taking in more than 5cm/2inches of fabric at the waist might significantly distort the seat of the trousers. So, be patient. Maybe experiment with a cheap pair from a thrift shop.
@@Vintagebursche thank you! Will certainly do
It also depends on how you are built as well I have had some success doing this but I’am already shorter than average with big hips and thick muscular core . Just try it and see if you wear it with a jacket no one is going to see the back of the pants anyways. It might work better with pleats as well with their more relaxed fit .
Where should the buttons for braces sit, please - inside or outside the trousers? I would like to know if that is a matter of personal taste or if one of these options would be historically more appropiate for a 1920s/30s style.
Btw: Ace Video again, two thumbs for your informative and helpful input!
Inside is more formal than outside. That's it.
@@Vintagebursche Okay! Thanks a bunch! This information is highly appreciated.
What are your thoughts on brace button? Are they best sewn inside the waist band or outside? Or is that a style mark of a particular decade, or pants style?
Inside is more formal than inside. So dinner suit trousers inside and workwear fishtails outside for example.
@@Vintagebursche Thank you!
5:07 Alternating front length on lapeled waistcoat is really hard. Need help. I've done many alternations (making the front length shorter) but this is the first time I've come across the one with lapels.
i ask, are tweed suits tight?
He's perfect 😍 I desire a man who dresses old fashion like me.
😞 it's so hard to find men like these.
I think if it’s a vintage wearing straight man your looking for …..you would be better collecting hens teeth
I'm here for you 😅🥳
Polyester wool blends didn't exist until about 1957 on the commercial market. Full stop
Klasse. Ich probiere daß auch mit meine kleider. Es ist aber viel arbeit. Und ich bin nicht besonders gut in nähen. Ich liebe kleidung von die spat 1800, 1940 bis 50's. Aber auch was man "gothic Victorian, steam punk und Academic nehnt. Dover autocorrect. Ich habe kein Deutsch auf me in Tablet. Enschuldige. English is fine too. But I thought I detected a Germanic accent. I'm Dutch.
You never seem to mention anything about gloves an essential in any vintage look, in my opinion
1000th like
Your "no slim fit"-mantra for trousers does not seem apply to early 1920s or am I wrong?
The trouser crease line is crucial. If there is a straight line from your waist to the optional break just above your shoes, it's fine. If there is no straight line, your trousers are too slim (or too long). Modern suit trousers don't even have a crease.
@@Vintagebursche I see, understood! :)
Hast du auch einen deutschen Kanal? Bzw. kannst du mal Untertitel einbauen? Wäre cool 👍
Wenn ich mal ein Video auf Deutsch mache, dann erscheint es auf jeden Fall auf meiner Facebook-Seite. Deutsche Untertitel mache ich gelegentlich. Das ist aber ein ziemlicher Aufwand. Das kann theoretisch jeder Abonnent als Community Contribution machen. :)
VintageMann surely?
Lost me at “ cute new bow tie “

Video was worth watching just to hear you say "belly button".
I really don't like this trend , sorry Gents .. Ever since Peaky Blinders we see so many people dressing up , it's become like fancy dress. High street brands always look incorrect, cheap and make people look like they are on the way to a Peaky Blinders night at the local bar . If you are truly passionate about dressing from the 1920s or 1930s then use companies like Darcy Clothing Menswear in Lewes, England . Darcy makes clothing for many of the period drama's we see on television and film .. The prices are extremely good and cost little more than high street brands .. Chester Cordite( London) is the very best if you want to spend a little more for the perfect suit , shirt or trousers. Please don't wear high street shoes ! They look awful, the leather is terrible and the shoes make the outfit and show that you know what you are doing! Loake , Joseph Cheaney, Crocket and Jones are recommended for entry level handmade shoes from Northampton, England ( the capital of the shoe industry) . There is an excellent series of in depth videos on RUclips by the gentlemens gazette which explores each era with advice .
Good luck !
The Vintage look is very expensive to achieve. Being a Simple Man, I found out real fast that this hobby is for Rich people only. Unless you are Rich go into the hobby with your eyes wide open.
I call bullshit. You can replace money with personal effort by spending time in thrift stores and/or altering garments yourself. I did this as a student myself.
@@Vintagebursche Thank you for the advice on looking at thrift stores. I also found some good ideas from your video on the 6 quick tips for buying classic and vintage menswear. Thanks again.
@@timequest9802 You could learn how to sewn yourself, I took a sewing course and one on leather works, and I learned to make a lot of cool stuff. I bought an old Singer sewing machine and started making clothes. It's rewarding and not very difficult, and the materials Arent expensive
Dramatic intro :(
Next time. ;)
Es wäre besser wenn du es einfach in deutsch machen würdest, denke ich.
Ja, finde ich auch!
Wird nicht passieren.
@@Vintagebursche tja, schade
@@Vintagebursche Schade immer alles in Ami-Englsch zu hören.
It was better for those who speak German at high enough level. It is more accessible to me in English.
