I love how when the wife does the clothes she makes it look all pretty and elegant but when her husband does it, it looks like he's showing off. "Suave! Handsome! Hello ladies!"
It really is so much fun to see these videos in eras where the phrase "Do you think this is too much?" just doesn't seem to be common vocabulary. And still the look as a whole is elegant. Thank you for sharing!
We ladies should all have a cute guy to play dress up with! I love these videos showing how people dressed in the past- they're interesting! Thanks for doing them! 💖
This is fabulous! :) That big-wig change at the end, of course, a must. One cannot, CANNOT, be seen in public with less than the best, biggest, curliest, longliest wig ... ;)
Did a gentleman of his status dress himself? I expected to see a servant assisting him. Still, a very enjoyable change to see a man's ensemble on this site.
The ancient Egyptians wore long curly black wigs as well...Shaved their heads and wore wigs because of lice problems. .Amazing how the problems and solutions were the same over thousands of years.
Just started watching a play in class today, and it’s costumed in basically this era-so cool coincidence to see what really ought to be there in this video!
I LOVE the outfit! When he put on the BIG WIG, I thought of that movie I saw earlier this year called: THE MINIATURIST. Don't know why, but I like the 17th century clothes that men and women wore. Thanks for sharing this video! ~Janet in Canada
I love the hair!! Once the wig went on, it just completed the outfit. I initially had reservations about the look, but with the wig and the hat everything came together perfectly. (:
Thank you, thank you. I'm writing a novel set I. 1662. I can't find much information on clothing of this era. This video is very useful, in fact I downloaded it for future reference. Thank you once again. I would like to see a video of a women's dressing. The wig came into fashion when CHARLES II wore one. He was going grey early. It wouldn't do to have a grey haired monarch on the throne!
Bonnie Garrison try and find an old novel called Forever Amber by Kathleen Windsor, it’s a colourful tale of the times, considered ‘racy’ when published by quite safe for adults now!
When things become cheaper or more easily available is when they become feminine. The more rare or expensive an item was to produce, the more likely it was part of men's fashion.
So handsome! And that blue ensemble near the end was just gorgeous! 😍👌 Would love to see more vids like this and with some fancy high heels too. Just love the aesthetics!
Brilliant as always! I adore this ridiculous era. If men still dressed like this I might be more interested in them. And it's always a treat to watch both of you dress when you know the clothes so well, you look so natural and fit for the time. Love these videos!
Is there such a thing? People today, dress whatever crappy way they want. In my neck of the woods anyway. Plus, it's not only, about the look but how you carry yourself as well, that make you a TRUE, lady or gentlemen. My Best. Out.
Probably not if the woke mind virus manages to continue shifting culture the way it has. There might be far more unfortunate titles like "How to dress as a 2020's non-binary Streamer". Fashion is dying and we have to reference and embrace history to save it 👍
Keeping in mind we're looking at clothing of the wealthy elite here, it certainly still feels like the range of textiles & accessories considered "appropriate" for male attire has shrunk drastically of recent decades! Even if you go back & look at what guys were wearing in the '60s-'70s, it was WAY more colourful & out there? 😆 I live in hope that as our social ideas about accepted gender stereotypes keep broadening, hopefully one day guys will once again have access to something more interesting...?
Youd haveta be macho to pull that off and I bet they were, dueling and sword fighting. But also romantic; serenading, writing poetry and drafting bridges and such.
I love how when the wife does the clothes she makes it look all pretty and elegant but when her husband does it, it looks like he's showing off. "Suave! Handsome! Hello ladies!"
I wish that more men's suits had brocade patterns on them now! What's a true shocker is that once upon a time men had useless pockets.
Oh, oh ma'am... I love the regal nature of you two. But.. Specially how your hubby is having fun in this one . Love the whole outfit too.
Wonderful! He looks like Brian May from Queen in that wig!
Brian's hair IS one of the wonders of the world.
How blessed you are to have found a man who shares your passion you both are so wonderful
I wasn’t looking . He found me I suppose
It really is so much fun to see these videos in eras where the phrase "Do you think this is too much?" just doesn't seem to be common vocabulary. And still the look as a whole is elegant. Thank you for sharing!
“What is it? This wig not big enough? Cue THE big wig!”
The higher the hair, the closer to god.
:changes wigs: "Because he's worth it..." Loreal in the Restoration Era
Just WOW! Doesn't he cut a fine figure, a well dressed gentleman indeed!
Lol “ because he’s worth it”

I would want to dress like this and walk into a Baroque orchestra
2:00 The exaggerated swagger of a baroque lad
It's nice to know the men had quite a few layers to wear as well.
I could so comfortably wear that to work, a delightfuly distinguishedl gentleman.
He's so cute and a good sport as well.
The actual clothing is beautiful!
The second wig is significantly better! This restoration era kit looks truly fantastic.
THE big wig ... fabulous!
Ravishing! (as always, duh!)
Hubby needs to be featured in more videos with you!
This is fabulous! Your workmanship and design aesthetic are superb and Lucas looks great! Thank you for posting!
To the manner born! Really enjoyed this insight into how men of that era got dressed.
Definitely should do more menswear videos
Thank you for real history and not imagined history.
Did a gentleman of his status dress himself? I expected to see a servant assisting him. Still, a very enjoyable change to see a man's ensemble on this site.
oh yes, there will definitely be some ladies in love after todays walk through town 🥰
The ancient Egyptians wore long curly black wigs as well...Shaved their heads and wore wigs because of lice problems. .Amazing how the problems and solutions were the same over thousands of years.
Despite the extraness and opulence of the outfit, it's still more practical and elegant than anything these days
idk about practical haha
Just started watching a play in class today, and it’s costumed in basically this era-so cool coincidence to see what really ought to be there in this video!
The wig change cracked me up 😂😂😂
What a stunning outfit! Love the BIG wig he chose.
he is such a good egg to do this. you're one lucky lady.
Love the video. He has wonderful facial expressions in this. History brought to life.
I think I sprained my finger clicking onto this video!!!!!! Absolutely stunning!! He's so in character!!!!
Very handsome and authentic. The last still with lighting and backdrop is very painterly. I say chap, well done❣️
Happy I'm not the only one who thinks this guy is dressed way better than men dress today
What a dashing gentleman! This video was so entertaining!
You make some of the coolest videos on UA-cam! Thank you for teaching us so much about the past!
I love this style for men!❤
With some minor changes in proportion, this look seems to carry through to the late 18th century, a hundred and thirty years later!
You look great with all these clothes and especially wig!
those cuffs would drive me crazy
i like this fashion.

Thank youA however you shouldn’t be able to download them at all, they are copyrighted - only pirate equipment would be able to rip the video off....
Bonnie Garrison try and find an old novel called Forever Amber by Kathleen Windsor, it’s a colourful tale of the times, considered ‘racy’ when published by quite safe for adults now!
I dont think thats really the case anyway. I'm pretty sure he just picked it up from the court of Louis XIV when he was in exile...
Very nice and enjoyable to Watch.
This is similar to how I dress when I go out
I wonder who had the job of knitting those fine long socks. Must of taken weeks to complete. What a job.
My favorite part is the hat!
Huzzah! More gentlemen’s videos, yes!
Loved it! Beautiful suit! And the second wig was gorgeous. He should be wearing a moustache à la Charles II too!
I’m curious when and why things such as lace, ruffles, floral patterns ribbons and bows became “feminine”?
Beau Brummell my dude. Changed men's fashion drastically in the direction of sober colors and simple lines. hespokestyle.com/beau-brummell-fashion/
Even for both sexes during 1700s, but moved to the feminine side during the 1800s
When things become cheaper or more easily available is when they become feminine. The more rare or expensive an item was to produce, the more likely it was part of men's fashion.
It's interesting that floral patterns and long hair came back in the '60s hippie styles, as a revolt against the suit, but only for young men.
my name is... my name is... my name is cHarLes the SecOnD
I love the fabric you chose for this project gorgeous color combinations " classic "
WAIT I've just realised....that guy from pocahontas was wearing a WIG!!😯 (why have I just realised this now?)
So handsome! And that blue ensemble near the end was just gorgeous! 😍👌
Would love to see more vids like this and with some fancy high heels too. Just love the aesthetics!
I want such stockings 😭
He looks very dashing!!
He looks great!! Your work is beautiful. I have long curly hair just like that, so basically Restoration men are my hair-twins haha!!
Great print on his silver overcoat.
not a print - woven damask :-) but yes, lucky to have found it!
bring back ruffles and silk ribbobs for men omg he looks STUNNING!
I am honestly surprised the hat stays on over all that hair without hatpins 😂
This makes me think of Samuel Pepys and his diary 🪶
Well done - as always! Your skills are unparalleled - and you and your hubby so cute! Love your videos.
Is that where the term "bigwig" came from?
I was wondering about that too? Seems fitting.
Looks very much like a pirate. In a good way.
Very nice presentation. Men's gear was as wonderful as the women's, good to see.
Would be fun to dress up and go out like this
Perfect!!! Perfection in every thing!
🌷🌸🌹🌻🌼🌺💐🏵️💮☺️☺️☺️
I would love to see you guys do a video on fabrics before synthetics. Also great video as always.
All the fabrics was natural until after the second world War and Izabela is only using authentic materials
only natural fibres used. we don't use plastic
How dashing! Lovely work!
Well done again, These clothes are nice but complex
I must say how much i enjoy your channel
My favourite era!
Handsome gent.
Those floofy cuffs would have driven me bonkers. Can you imagine how much food and muck they'd end up falling in?
What a handsome gentleman!❤
LOVE!!! Laughed out loud at dine off the antics it was so much fun to watch
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Very dashing!
twirl time is one of my favorite times
The Twirl! I don't know why but I loved that!
Absolutely stunning 😍😍
Brilliant as always! I adore this ridiculous era. If men still dressed like this I might be more interested in them. And it's always a treat to watch both of you dress when you know the clothes so well, you look so natural and fit for the time. Love these videos!
No gentleman would be without his Smallsword
Please do more men's videos. There is not enough out there. 🖤
If the pockets were impractically low, did they use them? What “necessaries” did men carry in those days?
Because he's worth it :D
It’s actually a very handsome look for a man
Oh those sleeve cuffs!😍
I can't help but wonder if hundreds of years from now, people will be making similar videos of "how to dress like a 2010's gentleman".
Is there such a thing? People today, dress whatever crappy way they want. In my neck of the woods anyway. Plus, it's not only, about the look but how you carry yourself as well, that make you a TRUE, lady or gentlemen.
My Best. Out.

Who else thinks men were way more better dressed back then?
Keeping in mind we're looking at clothing of the wealthy elite here, it certainly still feels like the range of textiles & accessories considered "appropriate" for male attire has shrunk drastically of recent decades!

I think he was enjoying himself too much, playing dress-ups. Such a dashing gent. It was nice to see men"s clothing. :)
Youd haveta be macho to pull that off and I bet they were, dueling and sword fighting. But also romantic; serenading, writing poetry and drafting bridges and such.
See Baldassar Castiglione The Book of the Courtier on those subjects.
I love your videos! They always brighten my day! :)
Wow, there was a lot of silk in that outfit!
Just another _great_ video! BTW, silk under-breeches were a thing till Crimean war, AFAIK. Slightly festooned but silken.
