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.
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!"
Lol “ because he’s worth it”
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.
The higher the hair, the closer to god.
:changes wigs: "Because he's worth it..." Loreal in the Restoration Era
Wonderful! He looks like Brian May from Queen in that wig!
Brian's hair IS one of the wonders of the world.
“What is it? This wig not big enough? Cue THE big wig!”
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
2:00 The exaggerated swagger of a baroque lad
I could so comfortably wear that to work, a delightfuly distinguishedl gentleman.
He's so cute and a good sport as well.
I would want to dress like this and walk into a Baroque orchestra
It's nice to know the men had quite a few layers to wear as well.
Just WOW! Doesn't he cut a fine figure, a well dressed gentleman indeed!
Definitely should do more menswear videos
The wig change cracked me up 😂😂😂
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
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 ... ;)
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!
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 big wig ... fabulous!
Thank you for real history and not imagined history.
The actual clothing is beautiful!
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! 💖
i like this fashion.
Looks very much like a pirate. In a good way.
I love this style for men!❤
I am honestly surprised the hat stays on over all that hair without hatpins 😂
my name is... my name is... my name is cHarLes the SecOnD
With some minor changes in proportion, this look seems to carry through to the late 18th century, a hundred and thirty years later!
To the manner born! Really enjoyed this insight into how men of that era got dressed.
The second wig is significantly better! This restoration era kit looks truly fantastic.
Because he's worth it :D
Ravishing! (as always, duh!)
Hubby needs to be featured in more videos with you!
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.
bring back ruffles and silk ribbobs for men omg he looks STUNNING!
Handsome gent.
he is such a good egg to do this. you're one lucky lady.
This is fabulous! Your workmanship and design aesthetic are superb and Lucas looks great! Thank you for posting!
It’s actually a very handsome look for a man
Huzzah! More gentlemen’s videos, yes!
oh yes, there will definitely be some ladies in love after todays walk through town 🥰
WAIT I've just realised....that guy from pocahontas was wearing a WIG!!😯 (why have I just realised this now?)
those cuffs would drive me crazy
twirl time is one of my favorite times
This makes me think of Samuel Pepys and his diary 🪶
It was a wonderful time for baldness
Those floofy cuffs would have driven me bonkers. Can you imagine how much food and muck they'd end up falling in?
Please do more men's videos. There is not enough out there. 🖤
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.
This is similar to how I dress when I go out
Is that where the term "bigwig" came from?
I was wondering about that too? Seems fitting.
What a stunning outfit! Love the BIG wig he chose.
What a dashing gentleman! This video was so entertaining!
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!
You can certainly see why people of means would have a valet!
No gentleman would be without his Smallsword
I think I sprained my finger clicking onto this video!!!!!! Absolutely stunning!! He's so in character!!!!
Puritan voice: big wigs are SINFUL!
This gentleman looks more like a Cavalier than a Roundhead to me.
@@ragnkja If you put a mustache on him, he could be portraying the Merry Monarch himself.
Would be fun to dress up and go out like this
I think he was enjoying himself too much, playing dress-ups. Such a dashing gent. It was nice to see men"s clothing. :)
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!
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
I want such stockings 😭
Big wigs. Hell yeah.
What a cool husband you have!!
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!
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...
Love the video. He has wonderful facial expressions in this. History brought to life.
Rather wearable today, except for the sash & breeches! I wear a mix of 18th & 19th century clothing! Brocade is King!
Perfection confection.
Great print on his silver overcoat.
not a print - woven damask :-) but yes, lucky to have found it!
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
My favourite era!
You look great with all these clothes and especially wig!
He looks very dashing!!
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.
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 👍
A sort of forerunner of the modern men's suit, which has changed amazingly little in the past couple of centuries... still, nice to see some men's fashions, and the restoration is one of my favorite eras of fashion :-) Somehow, despite the frills, this doesn't look feminine at all. Edited to add: oops, maybe I should wait to watch the whole video before I comment...
You make some of the coolest videos on UA-cam! Thank you for teaching us so much about the past!
It seems to be the early design of modern men's suits.
Because it is
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. (:
If the pockets were impractically low, did they use them? What “necessaries” did men carry in those days?
Well done again, These clothes are nice but complex
The Twirl! I don't know why but I loved that!
Very nice and enjoyable to Watch.
How did gentlemen keep their wigs on - especially when riding?
Ugh - imagine all the lice, cooties and bedbugs living in those wigs! While I’m nostalgic for the good ‘ole days I’d have trouble dealing with the ‘realities’ of life back then - even if I were rich!
IIRC, wigs were popular because of lice-- the wigs could be taken off and de-loused by boiling them.

There was a doco series, History’s Worst Jobs- a profession relating to wigs got a good mention in that.
Loved it! Beautiful suit! And the second wig was gorgeous. He should be wearing a moustache à la Charles II too!
What a handsome gentleman!❤
He looks great!! Your work is beautiful. I have long curly hair just like that, so basically Restoration men are my hair-twins haha!!
Excellent job! All that and then to brave the filth of city streets, the coal dust, the dirt: practical, not at all, but that wasn't the point, the point was status and social cred. Long before credit cards, these clothes would have got you more clothes, food, lodging, credit!
This was the "sober" version? Literal fancypants!
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
That was enjoyable!
Very handsome.
Very dashing!
Thank you for making this! The ladies' clothing is always interesting to watch but we need more gentlemen out there too!
I love the fabric you chose for this project gorgeous color combinations " classic "
