Your voice over made me feel like I was watching a relaxing nature documentary, but about clothes. Love it. Also appreciated you saying that we didn't need to see you demonstrate the girding and then doing it anyway. 😉
It's interesting to see these looks "translated", in a way. It's so hard to tell sometimes how these garments would have looked outside of the heavily stylised artworks, it was nice to see them in a more realistic light. Also, you possess a fine set of legs.
The Bayeux embroidery looks to me as though the back of the tunic is brought up between the legs to the front and tucked into the belt, making a kind of loin cloth. I've seen men in Bangladesh tie their lungis in this way when there is a practical reason such as to stop the cloth trailing in water. Disappointed you didn't match the under-arm-dog as a key catwalk trend that's being modeled in all of this season's most stylish embroideries.
I started watching this channel because I wanted to make my fanfiction set in medieval Wales less historically atrocious and it's been super useful! But also, the way you bring historical images to life is just amazing. You have a great way of showing us the past and the ending was hilarious.
Thank you for this! Not only is it hilarious, but you're right-- there isn't enough about the topic on youtube. As someone just exploring a budding interest in this sort of thing, it's nice to have a little context and get ideas for research sources.
This was marvelous! From the fashion show concept to your modeling of the clothes in the “collection”, to your perfect verbal delivery as you describe each outfit, you have done a brilliant job. Also, so funny! Great ending, too. If Monty Python is looking for a new member, they need look no further!
While doing some research for a story I'm writing I came across your videos and my goodness this is awesome stuff. I thought the Viking wear video was great, this is cheeky and educational, well done my friend. Liked and subscribed
Such a useful resource for helping 'translate' 2d imagery to 3d! nicely presented info. and thanks for demo-ing the last look after all, it actually did help to see because the manuscript was making me head tilt a bit in confusion....
Jimmy! I absolutely love your videos! I'm a big fan of medieval history so your videos are right up my alley! I also must commend you for not only being informative but also adding humour and touching on interesting subjects. Well done duckie!
Well done! I'm coming to the mind that there was a lack of hose wearing in the early medieval period, especially when looking at the Bayeux Embroidery and the Julius Works Calendar. Coincidentally, last year in honour of the 1,000 year anniversary of the making of the Julius Works Calendar we made our own. If you would like a copy, just let me know. :)
I am of the opinion that women in the medieval period needed protection from chafing. I certainly did for 10 years playing in living history. I know so many women who wore bike shorts underneath their kirtles for almost every single era that I'm convinced that this whole 'no women wore underpants' is utter crap. It had to happen. I chafe to *bleeding* in a fast 10 minutes without thigh protection. The fact that we don't have evidence yet is not a reason to lose your sanity and think women then didn't have physiological reasons to wear some sort of braies, a reason beyond our monthly cycle. It's lunacy IMO to think they would have had very active days and didn't need, NEED, something extra. It's simply not logical. And I refuse to think that medieval people weren't logical and practical.
I'm not sure it is. In 1980 1080p and 720p digital video weren't available as signal formats. I notice you have a channel too! What kind of recording do you use for your most popular videos? :)

You are most welcome! XD

a fine set of legs *for an academic*

😂😂 So glad I watched until the end

Cheesus H. Christ, Pierre! Out of all dogs you could've gotten, you picked one that CANNOT SWIM! Go ahead, you bought it, YOU CARRY IT NOW! xD
This legit made me spit out my tea.
@@TheWelshViking Sadly, no archaeological evidence nor independent sources confirming 11th century dog purses was discovered so far...
I'm glad I waited for the payoff at the end.
Am binge-watching your channel, really enjoyed this one! Unique and fresh perspective, and learned something once again! :)
loved the creative presentation & soft voice-over
10/10 Bravo!
Thanks! :3
Bravo! Bravo! What a stunning collection, sure to be all the rage, and what an ending! Hit fashion show of the year.
That last bit and the end! I thought I was done laughing, but no! The voice over was on point!
This is quite interesting. Not many UA-cam sources for this very important information and your humour is a great asset.
*wipes tea off laptop* That end bit with "The Stripper" made me laugh so hard I dropped my cuppa!
👏👏 Beautiful! Wonderful! Stunning! 👏👏
Quite the stunning fashion plate indeed. 😁
One could carry a mongoose in that final look to even further enhance the drama. Well done!

Just stumbled across your channel and I love it
This is seriously useful, thank you. Also very funny and soothing.
Thank you!
I was "peasantly" surprised by the cloak

The narration is exquisite 🤣🤣🤣

nailed it!
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Very informative and loved the bit at the end!
As an 12th Century Irish Persona I'd love to discuss with you about Garb, period sources, and translations.
Oh I’d be delighted to!
You have a good set of pins there me boy!

Oh, how kind! I'd love one! Please do email me and let me know payment details :)
So for my vary first reenactment I should go with the look in your close, right?
now that made me laugh
Excellent! Glad it was fun for you! :D
wonderful!
BRAVO! Nice. Where do you find medieval clothing? I only know Armstreet? Any good recommendations?
Haha brilliant
Informative and humorous! (extra 'u' at your discretion)
Perfection
where do you get this kind of stuff?
The Irish warrior looks like Jacksepticeye aka Seán McLoughlin.
Anna Wintour who? More like Anna Vikingtour, am I right?
❤❤❤❤❤
Nerd crush activated 🥵

Don't forget the Pigs fat smeared on the bare legs to catch the fleas.

That classic rolled over waistline is not very flattering 😄
Filmed in 2020 but video quality is worse than in 1980.
I'm not sure it is. In 1980 1080p and 720p digital video weren't available as signal formats. I notice you have a channel too! What kind of recording do you use for your most popular videos? :)
I can assure you that the quality is way better than 1980. Even beats laserdiscs.
