YES! So great to see men’s historical fashion. It used to be just as elaborate as women´s clothing. Yes, we can play with ties, bowties and handkerchiefs but nothing like this. So sad that we men only have the old dreary suit nowadays.
The doublet, especially in Elizabethan times, was in many ways meant to mimic armor. The peascod belly is designed to mimic the shape of the cuirass, which has the peascod shape because that helps to deflect sword blows away from the face. In armor the shape is functional. In doublets, the shape mimics the cuirass of a set of armor. Doublets were not a common piece of female attire before the Elizabethan era, and Elizabeth adopted it into her wardrobe because is was consider male clothing and it mimicked military armor. It was part of her propaganda, the old "body of a frail woman but heart of a king" motif that she used to such good effect. The doublet arose as part of the underpadding for armor and was popular in men's wear, especially amongst the nobility, because it implied martial aesthetic. This outfit is lovely! Congratulations on your beautiful work, and thank you for these videos.
Absolutely wonderful! You don’t see men's clothing anywhere near enough,and the gentleman did indeed look quite dashing! Beautiful work to be proud of,huzzah!
If Lucas had walked into Good Queen Bess's court, she would have kept him there and tossed Raleigh and the Ear of Essex out on their padded britches. He looks great. Both of you do!
I've been told that the peascod belly echoes the shape of armour of the time, and since armour signals masculinity and strength and heroics, the same shape in clothing probably sent the same signals, the way military styles have been incorporated into male fashion throughout later eras as well. So it had nothing to do with eating or being fat--in armour, it's a shape to make spears and lances glance off. It can look silly to us, but probably looked very different to people at the time!
Loooooove this! I adore this period of menswear and there's not as many breakdowns/overviews for men as their is women that show base layer to outer accessories + the variations you could have, and this was a FANTASTIC overview! Thank you!
I couldn't stop giggling at seeing Lucas standing tall and proud in nothing but his chemise just before Isabella began the dressing process. The two of you make a very handsome couple (love Isabella's outfit too!).
He realy looks like some of the portraits out if that era. In a strange way he reminds me of a portrait of william of orange (william the silent) in his younger years. Painted by Antonio Moro or out of his studio. Beautefully made costumes for both of you!
Well done, and Lucas looks dashing! But my FAVORITE part of the whole video is how sweet and how supportive he is. Every time Izabela downplayed her work in any way, he disputed that. And at the end when it's all together and she said "I'm quite proud of that," he so lovingly replies, "And so you should be." ♥ Also I love how much character he puts on in these clothes with the poses and the bows. It's PERFECT! Find a man who will play dress up with you, you will never be unhappy.
@@vernahrris5601 she's done a handful of French gowns from the mid-18th century, but no proper continental European robes de cour or English court mantuas. It's rare to see robes de cour and English mantuas reproduced by costumers in general due to the cost, as they require a boatload of fabric and the bodice of a robe de cour is essentially a fully-boned and tailored pair of stays you can only wear with one dress.
I was so happy to see a video featuring historical fashion for men. Don't get me wrong, I love all your videos and the pieces you make are spectacular but a little something for the lads now and then is much appreciated.
Just pointing out, these were special occasion clothes for the royal court, judicial courts, celebrations and big events where one went to be seen. Everyday home wear would have been simpler and more plain. Many, especially young men of this and subsequent eras, were often in debt to their tailors. So they basically had a mortgage on their clothes the way we now have mortgages on our houses and have car payments. A perquisite of a body servant like a valet or a ladies' maid was to eventually get the master or mistress' cast off clothing. It was suppose to give the servant an incentive to keep the clothes in good condition. So servants dressed very much in the same fabrics as their employers, but with the really expensive, reusable decorative trims, furs or pricy buttons switched out. Mrs. Musgrove, a character in a Jane Austin novel set about 220 years after this era, complains about a servant being "such a fine-dressing lady" that she spoils the other servants with whom she socializes.
I think the "cake shape" imitates contemporary armor. The breastplate shaped to slide off whatever coming your way. May the wearer look quite soldierly and masc uline. Armor of the time often showed elements of clothes so why not the other way around? Love your craftmanship. It's outstanding. Cheers from Sweden.
So cool! I'm struck by how few invisible undergarments there are in the men's look- the women's would at least add a supportive layer of bodies/petticoat/kirtle before moving to the visible gown, etc
You need to dress Lucas more often. I don't think there's anything he doesn't wear well. One question. A perennial question. How does a chap go to the loo for a number two when his hose are tied to his doublet? It must've taken some forward planning 😅 EDIT: just saw your answer to the question on another post. Of course it works like a jumpsuit. I need some caffeine and breakfast, I think 🤦♀️
I was a bit surprised at seeing that the hose would go OVER the canyons (sp?) but then I remembered seeing portraits of that period and realized that was exactly how they were worn. And when I heard "cross-garter", I immediately flashed on the Shakespeare play "Twelfth Night" when Malvolio was urged to wear his hose cross-gartered to make an impression on Lady Olivia.
It's not a silly outfit at all. It makes a man look big, broad-shouldered, imposing, dominant. One question: before duels, did the guys stand there for long minutes, undoing buttons? That's somehow funny.
Loved it !!! looks brilliant !!! Not many men / husbands i think would want to wear something like that today. More power to Lucas for loving and wanting to dress in periodic *if i may use that word* garments. You did yet another amazing job
Men today have the most boring clothes. Just variations on the same suit with slight differences in the lapels or tie color. I still yearn for the few months of Young Edwardian clothing!
@@reginaromsey ikr ! Wouldn't that be a wonderful time to be sure :) I have always loved the clothing from around the tudor times and up to the 19th century , the gowns !
@@SelenesCreationsByTheSea with the Young Edwardian days of the 1960’s with men wearing colors! Velvet jackets in jewel holes, Nehru Jackets in damasks! Turtle necks! The most wonderful Psycodelics!

Wonderful video, and beautiful outfit! A very educational experience. It is so interesting to see how the fashion evolved! I really liked the bit about the 'belly' on the doublet. Very interesting! I wonder how similar, or different, the Elizabethan attire was compared to what might have been found in the city state of Italy at the time, or France for that matter. Your work is amazing, can not wait to see more!
Beautiful i wish you had shown detail of the sleeves because many of the doublets had detachable sleeves i could not tell if they were attached or detached also very popular slash openings in the doublets and sleeves as well.
The amount of work you put into his kit! You think “bah! Men’s clothing is straight forward and simple. Easy!” Then you see the amount of work it takes to simply get dressed and it puts into perspective the amount of work it takes to even make the kit!
That is again absolutely amazing Izabella 😍 Nice to see some gentlemen clothing as well. You did a great job as usual and that makes up a very nice couple.
I compare your husband in his lovely outfit to any of the blokes seen in the streets wearing torn jeans, tracksuit bottoms, long baggy [very baggy] bermuda shorts with tatty t-shirts and I have come to the conclusion that men in the past actually looked far better dressed than they do today. Even the merchant classes dressed better than they do today. Even the first pair of pantaloons were better dressed than most on the streets nowadays. What would be nice would be to see your husband dressed as a ''doctor'' of the period would have dressed, not necessarily medical as I am using the term to mean a university graduate although more lawyer or clerk. Although a medical doctor would be good to see as well.
Totally not enough men's clothing. I was so excited to see some men's costumes.

Gives a new meaning to the term ‘fancy pants’
I love seeing the men's clothes. Thank you Lucas for modeling.❤

If Lucas had walked into Good Queen Bess's court, she would have kept him there and tossed Raleigh and the Ear of Essex out on their padded britches. He looks great. Both of you do!
Absolute feast for the eyes.
And lo we have the 'Purple Adder'.
What a shame men's clothes have become so boring! They used to dress up just as much as women and I bet they enjoyed showing off! Lucas looks great! 😍

I can see why a "well turned calf" was an asset to a gentleman! And your husband is obviously a gentleman LOL.
I'll go with dashing too. Lucas' running commentary was hilarious. You should dress him up more often. ❤
Yes, totally agree. More men's wear and Lucas. 😊
Need More Lucas! He adds just the right amount of humor without taking away from Isabella's presentation.
At first I thought this attire was going to look a bit silly....but the end result is really very beautiful! Very handsome!
Indeed.
I was delighted to note a friend I was making clothing for had the most perfect Peascod Belly quite naturally! He was a bit less enthusiastic.
😀🤣
Lucas looks very elegant in that outfit!
Loooooove this! I adore this period of menswear and there's not as many breakdowns/overviews for men as their is women that show base layer to outer accessories + the variations you could have, and this was a FANTASTIC overview! Thank you!
Absolutely fabulous! How fortunate he is to have a partner with your skills! You both look like you walked out of a painting!❤
I couldn't stop giggling at seeing Lucas standing tall and proud in nothing but his chemise just before Isabella began the dressing process. The two of you make a very handsome couple (love Isabella's outfit too!).
Lucas seems genuinely to enjoy having his wife dress him in period clothing.
Is this what people mean when they say Relationship Goals? LOL
I know I like dressing my husband in nice clothing! I'm sure I don't want to tie him in though!
Goodness, what a handsome Tudor gentleman. So well dressed.
Wow! You did an amazing job! He looks great.
It was nice to see you giddy over your wonderful recreation. Lukus is a great sport
And he wears it well. Very dashing
Lucas is a very stylish Tudor gentelman in those beautiful garments.
Lucas looks amazing in that! He wears it well
You 2 are just lovely together
He realy looks like some of the portraits out if that era. In a strange way he reminds
me of a portrait of william of orange (william the silent) in his younger years. Painted by Antonio Moro or out of his studio. Beautefully made costumes for both of you!
He looks magnificent!
Buttons, the bane of your existence, you two make a wonderful duo here

Yes, I liked that he maintain the poise, that many people forget is a important part of the historical dressing: the posture.
ridiculous? yes. gorgeous? also YES. lucas looks dashing indeed!
Lucas looks very sophisticated and elegant in this ensemble 👍🏻
just excellent work!!!! nice to see the male fashion of the era!
I think Lukus looks very dashing in his ensemble
Speaking of court, I would love to see what a gown would look like for a royal court!!! you do amazing work
See previous post
@@priorattire I will, I usually try to never miss any of your posts...I don't know how this one slipped by!!! Thank you
Also, I was thinking of a Victorian Court or a Georgian Court simply because of the rules that the women had to follow.
What a lovely couple you make😊. Your work is splendid and so illuminating. Thank you.

So interesting. The fabrics are glorious
I would like brighter colors, but definitely beautiful quality.
Absolutely gorgeous! 😍. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
That final vest-jacket made such a handsome difference!
Ahh he looks amazing!!! I really like it. The pants are insane lol
Brilliant! Absolutely love this. Lucas was absolutely hilarious and utterly charming.
You both look fabulous! Well done!! 🥰

Very interesting, thanks for that
Lucas is delightful and looks very dashing! The pants were fantastic
so cute to see the two of you interacting! loved it thanks ❤🏴
The jerkin being “plain” shows off the wonderful tailoring. Don’t add anything to grab the eye and lose the superior tailoring look!
Really enjoyed seeing how the men were put together. Thanks for that.

LOVE this. I want one!
your videos help me immensely when illustrating characters wearing historical costumes! love your channel!
You guys are so cute together, and hubby stands and looks like he came straight from that Era, very elegant.
You need to dress Lucas more often. I don't think there's anything he doesn't wear well.

I'M GLAD. Not too many sites cover gentleman's garb!
Awww you guys are so adorable. Lucas is so charming! Love any time he gets to feature!
Absolutely gorgeous! I had no idea men's clothing was so colorful and complex in earlier times. What a handsome couple you make.❤😊

The two of you are adorable! Always love an upload from you, Izabel!
Spectacular indeed!
In the US, we'd call a peasecod belly "Dunlap Syndrome" where your belly done lap over your waistband :)
It's not a silly outfit at all. It makes a man look big, broad-shouldered, imposing, dominant.
One question: before duels, did the guys stand there for long minutes, undoing buttons? That's somehow funny.
Truly splendid!💐💝
Since you said he didn't have his own channel, I'm SO GLAD you're showing his attire.
Im surprised there are no brais! Thank you for sharing , its fun to see your husband dressed up - he is a handsome chap!
He has them on but they are made of very fine linen and a bit of a see through. Also they were optional anuway
Lucas, you wear this quite well - quite dashing!
I keep thinking I need to make an outfit for my husband... but this probably isn't it. I definitely appreciate seeing men's fashion though!
beautiful garments, this was a great change of pace, to see the men's wear!
Lucas is such a good sport, more of this handsome man please. I do not mean skin!
This is awesome!! Both of you look spectacular!
Absolutely gorgeous. Sir Lucas indeed is quite the aristocratic gentleman.
Incredible! 😲

I love the poofy hose so much, wish we still had stuff this fun to wear.
Just amazing! You look like living paintings!
I think he looks very handsome ❤. Beautifuly sewn. Love the colors
Lovely outfit!
Stunning !
I love seeing male fashions! This particular style is so elegant. I mostly see it in opera (Don Carlo, Les Huguenots or Donizetti's Tudor operas).
Both of you look astonishing in those outfits. Very nice.💖♥️🌹👍👏
Thank you for this men's attire! Good modeling, Lucas. Yes, quite dashing. And wonderful work on such a complex outfit!

Oh my. What a hassle to have to visit the bathroom while all laced up.
It is great to see an outfit for men!!!😊
Wow the fashion in the Elisabethan period was really spectacular.
That is again absolutely amazing Izabella 😍 Nice to see some gentlemen clothing as well. You did a great job as usual and that makes up a very nice couple.
yess some mens clothes! i rarely see this online

I don't think they would love it a lot when they had to go to the bathroom with an intestinal emergency.
Recreating a plague doctor dress would be amazing too.
You both look gorgeous!
He looks sensational,a dandy!

omg - i just love this - and their great personalities to match - absolutely stunning.
Simply terrific! Thank you for your excellent work! And brilliant modeling! 🌺
