I think some servants -- such a valets and ladies' maids -- had to be people the masters and mistresses trusted implicitly. Because their job was so intimate, they were usually regarded as friends as well as servants. Quite a fine line to walk, I'd say.
Karen K just imagine saying something out of turn or touching then accidentally in an improper manner, even if you didn’t mean it. omg i could never do that job, no matter how nice the master or mistress was
@@jacobjacquin Yeah, I think it would be tough. You're kind of a therapist too, because they're telling you all about their problems and you're expected to be absolutely discreet. I'd be afraid of being blamed if something went missing.
Karen K definitely, imagine damaging a fabric and trying to explain to them what really happened.
@@kck9742 The standard response when anything went missing was to go into the servants' living areas and go through all their personal possessions. That was if you had someone fair. You could get fired just for the suspicion that you stole something.
If you want to talk about intimate servants, look up "Groom of the Stool".
I understand why Queen Victoria was so sad over her husband’s death. Such an intelligent gentleman, a loving husband and a good father too.
Esme Tsai their romance was one for the ages. I don’t think you often see marriages as strong as theirs between many royals throughout history.
It is somewhat ironic that Queen Victoria, who enjoyed the rare benefit of marrying for love, insisted on tight control over who here children married.
And excellent first cousin as well
@@clod8 nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@wufongtanwufong5579 Except she wasn't shagging. When someone becomes lonely, they seek out company to fill the void. Considering she permanently wore black, thinking she forgot about him and moved on is simply untrue.
Prince Albert was definitely ahead of his time when it came to societal issues and trying to figure out ways to make daily life better for working people. Lovely video.
Hot AND socially aware!
Not in the colonies , for sure!
Not gonna lie, the actor of Albert is pretty hot 😂...
Lol I was going to say the same thing.. he was really sexy
Yup, now we know why Victoria couldn't keep her hands off him and how they ended up with nine kids...
@@MJ-cc4uf No way! You mean this isn't actual footage from 1848? 🙄
@@KellyBurnett304 Victoria apparently thought so!
I like his moustache!!! Very hot
It is amazing how little formal fashion has changed for men. It's pretty similar with many changes of course but not that radical as women's has been.
and even now, at very formal occasions, men will wear tails like a weddings and orchestra players so yeah, men's fashions haven't changed...
My thoughts exactly. Except that cravat is the French word for a tie and I still often wear them. So they were not quite ditched after all.
Formal men’s fashion* because as a whole, it changed a LOT
@@Udontkno7 Not that much, certainly not as much as women's has.
I believe that the Beau Brummells, dandy and close friend to Victoria’s uncle King George IV, began the three piece suit that evolved into the suit we know today. He created a style with a shirt, a jacket, pants, and some sort of neck scarf that evolved into the modern men’s tie. Before that, men’s clothing was different with breeches and waistcoats underneath overcoats.
He's high key kinda hot though.
I’ve never heard someone use the phrase high key but it seems applicable here.
@@theundecidedgirl well...it's the opposite of when you wanna be "Low-key" about something.
Cristina DeCisneros yeah I get the definition, just never heard the phrase used lol.
This is how Prince Albert looked to Queen Victoria. **joking**
It's why I clicked 😋
Oh My, the actor is quite handsome!
Queen Victoria remarked on Albert as a young man that, "he was beautiful to look at"
Unlike the real Prince
@@1brickrow ???? He was gorgeous when he was young...
This era marked the last gasp for color and extravagance in men's fashions for some time. Within another 20 years, the brighter, contrasting waistcoats would be subsumed in blacks, whites and other neutrals. And it would all get lost in dark frock coats and (later) sack suits that eventually eliminated a lot of individual expression. At least they still had top hats for a while!
I think that is why it is not uncommon for grooms of today to choose a morning dress, if the wedding starts in the afternoon (as it usually does), although it is otherwise pretty much a forgotten dreas. It allows for a colourful waistcoat and plastron.
The funny thing is men could probably still choose to dress like Albert, when the party calls for tails. I think it would still be appropriate, as it was used in similar situations then. That would just require having a tailor do it specifically, as they aren't available off the rack.
@@MiljaHahto Could choose? Most of it is still the default evening wear on formal occasions where a simply suit doesn't cut it. There are some minor differences, such as bowtie instead of cravate and the tailcoats are cut slightly different, but otherwise it's the same. At some occasions headgear is also a must!
@@Ruhrpottpatriot Indeed there are differencies between the tailcoat of today and of the 19th century. Today they are all black-and-white, so Alberts version would definitely stand out from the crowd. To have the older version would be a consious choice as they are not readily available.
The 20s picks this up again which was excitibg
I love the shape of these clothes, truly amazing how it emphasizes the figure
@adrianna This is not how I want to dress just to drink coffee and read a book at Starbucks on a cold day. Sorry. Prince Albert had servants to prep his daily wear:; we commoners dont have such luxury.
@@brumels1570 even thought a tailcoat is bit much except when you on the evening,a stylish coat and sweater was nice!
Yeah, that silhouette is just gorgeous.
Delightful to see some men fashion videos, this look is absolutely stunning !!
I enjoyed this too. I think we don't see so many men's fashions videos because, frankly, men's fashions have changed so little since the early 1800s.
Yes, I love to see them. I have a thing for waistcoats lol
I'm obsessed with these videos....I can totally see why Prince Albert and Queen Victoria were pop culture icons of their day. They were young, incredibly good looking and interesting as individuals. I'm a Puerto Rican millennial from Brooklyn and I can't get enough of them so go figure! lol
Tiffany I I’m a Jewish millennial from Washington Heights who is also completely obsessed with these. Maybe we’re their target demographic. Haha
Albert was never popular in the UK during his lifetime. He was seen as an interloping foreigner.
@@laurenconrad1799 LOL possibly!
@@daniel_sc1024 poor guy he wasn't so bad. He at least tried.
@@daniel_sc1024
Yeah Victoria wanted him to be king but the brits didn't like it because he was a foreigner so instead he was prince consort
He in my opinion was the biggest gentleman if I ever saw one
prince Albert wore 1848 skinny jeans.
Not a fan of painted on jeans here, for the same reason I don't stay in cheap hotels. No ballroom.
Practically leggings, actually. The pants were so tight that allegedly his large manhood needed to be chained in place for decency’s sake.
@@graphiquejack hence the prince albert piercing
Caligula Longhbottom ‘allegedly’. It’s possible it’s just an urban myth
@@caligulalonghbottom2629 🤩😄
Sigh! Wish we dressed like that today...soooo elegant!
Well, you need only do it. Who cares what others think? Restart the trend, yourself.
i ain't got the time...
I wonder how confortable it was though...
@@intotheburrowASMR quite a few men today have bought their dark suit in polyester blend, which is breaths less than the natural fibers. Wool, silk, cotton and linen are easier to wear (that waistcoat was probably silk brocade, perhaps lined with linen).
I think you could still choose a similar dress when the etiquette calls for tails - if you can afford to have it tailormade, as it isn't available off the rack. Or at least the coat isn't, you might find the waistcoat and suitable pants. That shirt looks more comfortable than most todays shirts.
It's a pity he died so young. He was a loving husband, a caring father, and ahead of his time.
I read the title as ‘getting depressed in 1848’
LOL
Oh man, that’s pretty easy.
LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would be cool if you could do a video inspired by one of Henry the 8ths six wives
Emma Carter Yes!!
@@paigemclachlan2189 have you heard of the musical Six? It is about Henry the 8ths wives.
Emma Carter it sounds familiar but I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation! ☺️
"This dress fits nicely, but the neck pinches a little bit... Henry?"
Yes please!!!
You should do some about how kids dressed in 1400s-1900s
Like if you agree
Until the Victorian era, there was really no difference between children's clothes and adults' clothes -- just smaller. The whole concept of "childhood" as we understand it today is quite recent.
What the previous commenter said is correct. There’s also the issue of child exploitation. You can show an adult in various stages of undress (even if they’re quite covered by modern standards) but you can’t do that with children. There is a dressing sequence in the 90’s version of The Secret Garden featuring Maggie Smith and something like that would just never be green lit today.
Basically mini versions of adult clothes with aprons to protect them
@@kck9742 That is not necessarily true. There is plenty to talk about on victorian kids fashion. For instance, how boys had to wear short shorts all year round until they turned 11-12, or how both younger boys and girls wore the exact same dresses instead of pants, or traditional kids headwear, what babies wore to bed, girls and corsets, etc.
@@kamillatoth3433 Please reread my comment: "UNTIL the Victorian era..."
Glad to see some men's fashions. Easy to dress like that when you look like him. Me not so much. Good show!
All I gotta say:
*no wonder Victoria had so many children with him😍*
The funny thing is that one kind of watch chain became known as an "Albert" as he was known for always wearing that kind.
Thats not the only thing named after him
@@caligulalonghbottom2629 Yeah, that's not what comes to mind when I think of "Prince Albert"
Seems like the long underwear would negate having to hook his penis onto his trouser leg. Come on, were not 5. We can talk about it.🤣
And a very handsome Prince Albert he is!
He is outstandingly handsome.Well potrayed the prince who was handsome as well.
Oh, that actor playing Albert..is wonderful😍😅
The man that portrayed Prince Albert in the video is quite handsome
So am I
So.... Albert and I basically dress the same lol! That’s amazing how little man’s fashion has changed!
adrianna laced boots, shirt, dark pants and suspenders? Seems very similar to What I usually wear every day
adrianna well, to be fair, I’m 22 year old history student lol
And I completely agree, men’s fashion has changed a bit, and only for the worse, whereas female fashion has experienced an astonishing evolution, truly remarkable.
@@oberonyronwood5657 what you wear, not all of men's fashion
The suspenders where beautiful.
That doesn't differ that dramatically from todays tails/white tie. Only nowadays it isn't an every day thing anymore. (Lounge) Suits of today are quite different, and IMHO less flattering. Even the best suits are not as flattering as tails on the same man.
I wish men still dressed like this. So beautiful and stunning on any man!
I’d love to see something on the transitional periods of fashion like the 1820s or the 1870s, that’d be cool.
I understand why Queen Victoria never stopped mourning this man.
Isn't it obvious?
I meaaaaannn... Prince Albert could get it, am I right?
To the extent that getting it from one's own cousin is desirable.
this actor looks like he s the CUTEST man
There are men out there who dress elegantly or have a vintage style. They look so good and handsome.
The actors doing these productions are great. It's interesting to contrast this performance, to the one about dressing the 18th century gentleman. The actor played that man as a arrogant fop (and he did a great job! Without a single spoken line, just body language). This actor here conveyed a very different man, one who was more personable and kind, as Prince Albert was known to be.
Nice to see someone with a level of education to know the 18th Century is 1700-1799, sick of people messing it all up!
I've always been more interested in Prince Albert more than Queen Victoria. He was the power behind the throne and her protector.
He has the best hair. Thick, dark and chock-full of Superman S-curls.
More men's fashion, please! Love your videos as always
He has a wedding ring! Nice detail
Stunning we should bring all of this back
So glad to finally see another one in this series. 😊❤️...always wondered how that watch was connected, lol. 😆
What a lovely and elegantly presented video. I am always glad to see you produce such detailed and informative content in regards with clothing and its assemble. Would be interesting to see a video on a 18th century or Regency era men's wear :)
I love this look and yes, if I had this I’d wear it everywhere......even Walmart
Mood
Zach Pinsent has an excellent short on this subject
Thank you again for another informative video. His dress looks very nice.
I love your uploads. I'm taking a sewing class because of your videos. I'd love to be able to make clothes like this.
Another wonderful video, as always!
I want to wear something like this. Elegant, simple. Not too many layers. Minus the sash and royal insignias of course
I really like watching these, one I want to see is a early 1900 Butler. We have seen a maid already so it would be cool to see a Butler as well
i thought this would be a lot more complicated lol. but great video!
They left the complications to the woman of the time. 😁
I think men’s clothing tended to be more complicated in the century before this. But then a man named Beau Brummell popularized a simpler style that would evolve into the three piece suit we know today with just a shirt, pants, jacket, and neck scarf or modern neck tie.
another brilliant video it's nice to see how things used to be
Narrator : The waistcoat finished just above the waist.
Me : Duuh, it's a "waist" coat
All these comments are making me blush! Hopefully you don’t get in trouble from Victoria! She can get... quite jealous!
I certainly am.
I love when you post!
So beautiful to watch Prince Albert dress up.
I loved the trousers and the suspenders❣️
I just discovered your videos and I love them. I wish you'd do one on styles from the 1950's.
Thank you for showing how the men dressed. I know the ladies' clothing was more complicated (in fact, it was just MORE) but men had rules and fashion to follow as well. Again, thank you
Nice video, I always enjoy your getting dressed videos.
Hope to see more male clothes in the future.
Thank you this is amazing
*chefs kiss* the cut and fit are beautiful. Like if I came across someone wearing this for any reason, my go to compliment would include the word "dashing". I never say dashing! lolol
Josh you look very smart dressed as Prince Albert xx
Sign me up, I want to wear these outfits.
Me encantó. Felicitaciones a todo el equipo que realizó tan hermoso trabajo. Excelentes actores✨✨💖✨✨✨✨
Awesome to see something for the gents! Thanks.
I was surprised by how much “Albert” dressed himself. Somehow I expected his valet to do up all the buttons, lol.
Herr Löhlein? I remember him from Season 1 of the Victoria series. Such a shame we don’t see much of him.
Now I know his first name. Thank you.
❤😍📷🌟❤ Please do with Queen Victoria ❤❤
love this! more Menswear please
He looks so good.
I often wonder where we would be had he lived a full life. He was so far ahead of his time
In the competition between the narration and the music, the music appears to be winning.
This man though 😍
Thank You very much, Great Information
Interesting note about the watch chain. This sort of watch chain is actually named after Prince Albert and is called a single Albert due to there only being one side to it. A double albert would have two ends. At one end is the watch, at the other is a key for older watches though in later years men wore a double albert and kept other things attached to the key end. In the middle is often a fob, one of the few articles of men's jewelry that serves absolutely no purpose other than decorative. Fobs often indicated membership in a club, profession or military organization. With the invention of the new kind of watch that did not need to be key wound, Albert began wearing the single Albert chain named for him. I don't know if he invented the single Albert or if he simply popularized it. Probably the latter. Since he would have had the most up to date modern pocket watch he would have switched from double Albert chains to single Albert chains as soon as the keyless watch was invented and available. I am glad they accurately depicted the type of watch chain he mostly likely wore at tis time period.
And an American could attach his Phi Beta Kappa key to the other end.
No wonder Victoria always loved him! Beautiful actor
That is a really nice waist coat, wish some day i could find something like that at a vintage store
We are here for ALBERT, right guys? For HISTORY
Here I thought they actually brought in the actor from the TV show!
:-) I very much enjoyed this video!
This is random but your comment is so pure and just made me happy for some reason idk
👉 *This was a great presentation!*
No Victorian gentlemen would leave home without his personalized & ornate
snuff box! Also a fountain pen and a gold signet ring bearing his crest upon it.
Optionals: Quizzing glasses (for scrutinizing society) and a silk top hat! 🎩
Men had so many layers and accoutrements for his wardrobe back in the day.
Now it's simple suits and old slob clothes! LOL!
Splendid video.
:D _Albertopolis_
We're all simps for Prince Albert I love it
Please do a Prince Albert in court dress one!
1:19 his smile tho😳
I'm rather enjoying this series you have :D
Sadly, It seems to me that the trousers aren't accurately high waisted enough. I like the video, though!
AgustínSL how do you know did you wear those trousers in 1847
@@Mod-rw9cw Yes, I did, child
@@agustinsilvalozina8674 ok, boomer
Ok, but now I want his shoes.
I desperately want to see one for women’s late 1890s dress! Or a shorter one for the 1950s!
Idk who the actor is, but I love his smile
Victorian dress is just so amazing
Wow! I love you, princes Albert and Queen Victoria.
Was Prince Albert that handsome?
What an attractive man!
damn it Albert looks fiiinneeee
love the architecture
Apparently Prince Albert was extremely well endowed. Image being the servant who got to dress him and see that so often.
ಠ_ಠ
I... did not need to know this.
This comment is ethically questionable but alright
Some patience and dedication
COOL STUFF
Companion question to the one I posted about "Queen Victoria's Getting Dressed" episode: Are there any records that suggest what Albert's wardrobe budget was? OR put another way: How much did Victoria allow Albert to spend on clothes and 'fashion'?
Please do Victoria before and after she became a widow please please please
Cool! It was a little hard to see what was going on at times, though
You forgot to mention his, er... “Prince Albert”...
Mark Atkins indeed
Which side do you dress sir!.
Did his valet help him put that on, too?
Dan Cooter probably! If only walls could talk!
Eyy?
Beautiful Style 😍
