- As folks were asking for bloke stuff and since we are often asked to explain how to pleat a 15th century gown, this short vid should serve both purposes!
enjoy!

Huh!! Never thought about the creases, I've seen them in paintings of course but never really paid much attention to them! Makes complete sense as it broadens the shoulders and gives off a more stately and manly shape to the figure!! So interesting!
Methinks they actually meant something as well. Prolly communicated something important to those who paid attention. Like who you belonged to or how much money was spent on you.
Jennifer Grove yes that makes sense, like a status symbol
@@DarkMoonDroid And absolutely proved, if the expensive fabrics didn't, that you could afford to have someone dress you.
Wow, you arranged those pleats so quickly and evenly! Impressive.
I can see why diagonal pleats would be used. It emphasizes a tapered look. I'm learning so much from these videos! I hope you show more of men's fashion through the ages!
Wow you both look like a really medieval couple! The costumes are very exact as those wore back then
Thank you so much for this. I never see enough coverage of this kind of costuming for men. I really appreciate that this video happened.
I'd love to see more of them, :D
Watching her do the pleating I can only imagine nobles appreciating her fine work. It changed the entire look. I had never even thought abhor this prior... mind blown.
Amazing how the pleating really finishes the look.
wow...I mean ...WOW. This is amazing. I never really thought about men's clothing until I saw this. I hope there will others like this. And please keep the same male model.
I 💕 that the helpers are in costume!
He looks like a painting!!!
You make such marvelous videos. You really do!
I'm absolutely in love with the clothing of earlier times, but at 6'0 and 230 pounds, I'll never find antique clothing to fit me, so I sew my own poor reproductions. Now that I've seen your channel, I know how to do it RIGHT. Thank you, and keep the awesome videos coming!
U like robes bro?
Please do a video of dressing up a Georgian Lord.
I'd like to see one for a gentleman from the Restoration era.
Oh, am i the only person who just think this very beautiful and... acceptable?
He looks really good the red!
the way they wore the chaperon this way is very stylish, dramatic and intriguing but I know it was customary to wear it this way. The first time I saw it was in a children's book when I was six.
Khamomil
The chaperon evolved from a regular hood worn with the face opening rolled up and put on the head.
I'd love to see some more male videos!
As someone who's been having gastrointestinal trouble recently thanks to covid, the idea of essentially being sewn into your clothes really scares me.
Stunning video. Stunning clothes. Stunningly handsome man. Beautiful music. I love art. I am a photographer.
I’m getting this Witcher vibe when seeing late medieval clothing because the Witcher world’s clothing, architecture, and armors are heavily inspired by 14th century and early 15th century medieval designs
forget the jacket! Just the doublet-and-hose look is so very sexy!
Hi priorattire thank you
For this amazing video
Я,что,здесь единственная русская,которая смотрит эти ролики?Очень здорово показана история костюма,как женского,так и мужского в роликах этой пары.
Нет, не единственная. Я тоже их смотрю)
I love the music in your videos
Thank you Lucas!
Such fashionable sleeves 😆😆
I've always like the mens fashion of the 18th century with their trench coats, vests, and boots. I hope one day you can make a video on something like that.
cakecrumb095 You mean the 19th century (1800s), right?
Huh! So the robe was just long enough to cover the dangly bits to keep everything warm without hiding the legs. In essence, it's a loose suit. Men are so conservative.
You two make a cute couple! :-)
need more videos of him ;)
Wonderful, thank you very much.
These videos are always so interesting. When a man sat down did it mess up the pleats?
No! They are held up by the belt
If only I had 2k, then we would see how people dressed up during the Roman era...
thanks! this is awesome!
Fascinating!
Great to see a male video of this!
For a novel I'm working on, last year I had the opportunity as a little extra field research to try out a costume like what my main characters would be wearing (they're nobles, so it was bit fancier).
It was definitely a lengthy process to get into. Especially the ties, I'm not the leanest person in the world.
TurquoiseStar17 I guess half of watchers of these videos are writers
Can you do a video or series of videos about what people of different income levels in the period would have worn?
we are making videos with the clothing we use for our hobby and work. If you want to commission a series of videos to your specification, we would be charging you for design and clothes making, hours used for filming research and editing.... i don't think that's what you had in mind/ :-)
very princely! BRAVO!...BRAVO!
Wonderful
wow this is such an amazing video now I know what to buy my husband next year for christmas
I've seen examples of late gothic style cuirasses that have fluting that imitates the pleats of garments like this... or could it the other way around?
You should totally be the Wife of Bath for Halloween.
Can you please tell me what track of music this is in the background?
+priorattire I guess these robes are for the middle class or higher, so what would peasant men wear day to day?
hose, shirt and doublet for summer add gown and cloaks, hoods for winter. similar cuts, k= just wth less and lower grade fabrics and different colours
He's so so handsome
i love it
I CRY FOUL!!!...HE ALREADY HAD HIS PANTS ON!...
Nancy Volker 😂😂😂
👀😂
Wonderful 👏👏👏
oh my gosh that was incredible!!!
this is probabkmly a really dumb request but could you do a video or videos for maid/maiden attire from different eras? im strangely interested
we can do commissioned videos- depending on your budget.... we already have a series of lady's dressing up , for a grown up woman ( but who knows, she could still be a maiden, lol!)
I know a chemise was a long, loose-ish undershirt and that braise are basically long undershorts, but what are joined hose? And do they go on over or under the braies?
The braise was a pair of long, baggy underwear/ normal wear (or you can not even wear them at all, just a tunic). The Hose can best be described as a pant(trouser) leg without the groin area, people would wear it when they were riding a horse they would eventually evolve into western pants. a joined hose is one where the two legs were together by a string of fabric.
Magnificent
Lucas is very handsome...you make beautiful couple.
Now do a Jacobite man. Show people how a full kilt was put on.

Hi! I really love your channel! I have a question for you. I'm writing a king Arthur novel, and was curious if you knew the kind of clothes the men and women would have most likely worn in 600 ad Cornwall?
Lada Karasková are there images anywhere of styles? the differences between men and women's clothes?
yes i do - i specialize in the history of costume. please contact us via my website with details and i will be able to sort out a quote for a consultation for you! www.priorattire.co.uk
Lovely hat
i know right like thats the only reason why i clicked on this vid lol hhahahahhaahahahah
I love the music
I'm curious about the sleeves on the gown. is the bottom closed, or is it open? would a man ever wear the sleeve with his hand through the bottom cuff rather than the top opening?
+Bobbi Lee-Ann Nunn cuff open of course and either in evidence
Fine sir where art thou robes or gowns? When did they come up I ask?
As it is stated in the credits, we make them...
What was the purpose of that massive shoulder padding though? Was it just for aesthetics?
yes
Okay, thank you!
to intimidate your serfs into slaving for nothing and being afraid of you, i think
Back in those days, if they were one of the wealthy nobles, they put a lot of emphasis on showing off their wealth through their clothing.
@@averagewoman6962 In the 1950s (I'm old enough to remember). the military tailoring that had been fashionable for men and women was no longer in fashion for civilians. Men's suits still had shoulder shaping, but they were otherwise straight up-and-down. The waistline was no longer defined. They were, in a word, ugly.
A lot of layers on top, but weren't their legs cold?
Hear me out, I'm toying with the idea of recreating the rooster from Disney's Robin Hood as historically appropriate as possible. Where might I find patterns for menswear of this era?
Please do one for a late Elizabethan woman (ca. 1590-1603).
Wonderful music, where can I find it?
by Jason Shaw, from the public domain music store
it never ceases to amaze me at how much work went (and goes) into women's fashion throughout history. men have it so easy.
not really, men's outfits could be just as complex!
Johannes Liechtenauer It's actually more that men are taught that to dress elaborately nowadays is either unmanly or that they are paying "too much" attention to the way they dress. Which is also considered feminine, and therefore they simply COULDN'T stoop to that level. It's the product of the previous generation's mentality and corresponding teachings.
It really depended on the social status. Working class men definitely had it fairly easy, but the upper class for both genders having overly complex outfits was a status symbol, as it showed to everyone that you were rich enough to afford servants.
Katherine Pulliam It's a shame because men used to wear amazing colors and textures and florals and embroidery, and it only really changed after the industrial revolution
PriorAttire, I see you were helping your husband dress. Would dressing the husband be one of the wife’s duties? If they had no wife, would a maid dress them or a butler? I guess the true question is, were unrelated women expected to dress a man throughout history? My husband says that women were expected to. I thought unrelated women would not be expected to dress men due to modesty. Please tell me who is right! We have a bet riding on it ;)
hello - all depended on rank, social status, circumstances etc. In most circumsances, a man would be helped by his fellow males - friends, brothers, or servants. If of a lower rak, help would be usualy unnecessary at all ayway. if a woman was helping out, it would be a wife or a sister - or, on rare occassions when an esteemed guest was offered a bath by a host, the host's womanfolk would be helping with bathing - and probaby also with dressing up after a bath, if needed.
priorattire, Thank you so much!!! You definitely helped us sort this all out...and helped me win the bet! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! Thank you so much for your time and prompt response. You rule!
More mens clothing please :D
Videos on demand start from 2K...
priorattire Ah, I understand. Recently found your channel so amazed by it. You do an amazing job!
Thank you! I do what I can with the stuff I already have and use for work, but anything new that has to be researched, made, filmed, edited is just not possible unless on a commission:-(
priorattire I understand, it really is a lot of work to do videos like this. I wish I could fund one :( I have subscribed to your channel as I really like and admire the work you do! :)
Why not a man or a woman dressing from the late XIVe century or the beginning of XVe century (yes, there had been a little climatic change between the 1380s and the 1420s as, between the two, the climate warmed up a little from the first little ice age push). The climatic change is obvious between the raised collar of the 1380s for the women and the flapped collar of the 1420s.
I also learned that the button was brought about by that mini ice age. I believe it was mentioned in a James Burke documentary series that I watched years ago, either an episode of 'Connections' or 'The Day the Universe Changed.'
When I think to a raised collar, I think to the figure 37 of the article "coiffure" and the figures 8 and 8 bis of the article "houppelande" in Violet-le-Duc dictionary.
can you make a video of living the life of a victorian family or lady
of course - let me come back to you with a quote of how much it would cost ( hire of premises, actors, making costumes for them all, how many days to film and how many days to edit, film crew etc.) - i suspect you are looking at roughly £10k for a short 15 min feature.... :-)
Nice video. Thanks. Did men sometimes wear daggers with such attire?
What is the hat called in Henry VIII famous portrait ? Does it have a specific name or title for the style ?
It might be what's called a sack hat.
I have learned since my post that it is called a flat cap, but very embellished.
a beret? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beret
not flat cap...well, i am not sure but seems unlikely. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_cap
or maybe just tudor bonnet?
Just entertain my appetite long puffy cuffed sleeves leather shoes pants no bottom pleats in shirt ill show u
I can see that he has a flap in front for #1, but how do you go #2 when your pants are tied to your shirt?
Not to shirt- the hose is attached to a doublet and for number 2 easy just to shrug it all off- or unlace the back
Moreover, afaik you usually develop a rythmn. Number 2s in the morning and before going to bed, to save you all the trouble of going through the joust that is getting dressed.
@@kamielvanmeel131 Whichever way, it's still all a hot ass mess!😱😄.
I feel like we missed the undergarments section...did he have on underpants? what are the pants made of? Overall, it's a great look. Would they have had such a bright green?
linen braies ( underpants) were worn under the hose. quite skimpy by that time
Another way of proving you have a sevant.
Servant.
It would be great to have a sevant too, but a servant is much easier to come by...
Methinks Machiavelli was a savant...
I was actually thinking along the same lines. Think of all these jobs that are no longer available! What did those poor people do who had all those skills? Not only to lace and pleat for you, but to custom design and build these amazing garments just for you! Industrialization solved many problems. But the problem of where to take all of your hard-won skills and earn a good living in exchange for them was not one of them.
gg
Is there a female or gender neutral version of the gown (jacket/robe)? Because I really want one
No reason you couldn't wear one now just because it wasn't fashionable for women then.
Seems more complicated than a women ô.ô
I mean...just for a jacket.
Need help wow ô.o
Kannon Joshuartha Interestingly enough, up until the 1700s or so European men tended to dress more flamboyantly and intricately than women, in brighter colours. :) It was considered "immodest" for women to wear makeup, bright colours, and attention grabbing clothing. Not to say that women never did those things, especially if they were very rich, but the church censured it heavily; in the middle ages even going so far as to encourage small boys to rip off women's headdresses in the street to humiliate them if their clothes were too fancy. (Yep...)
When court ladies started wearing bolder clothes that emulated male fashions, male court opinion of the 1700s reacted by declaring that the proper masculine way to dress was in dark sober colours and simple clothing. That's how high heels became a strictly feminine thing, when they were originally menswear, and why modern menswear typically comes in such boring colours. And why this guy looks so bright and fancy. :)
What part of the 15th century? Henry VIIish? Looks good, but year a lot of work to get that beautiful...
+Louise T 1460-80
Priorattire Thanks! So my guy Edward IV (LONG before The White Queen I will say!) could have dressed like this. He certainly didn't wear clothes like this in TWQ.
In other words, this is what Henry VII would have seen grownups wearing when he was a kid, although the style is more continental than English. (He was born in 1457.) The hat is very similar to styles I have seen in Dutch paintings of the period. Henry would have had more of a French flair in his dress: a scrawny teenager with a beaky nose and a wart on his chin would have stood out like an overgrown scarecrow whatever he did, and that is what he probably looked like in 1473, hiding in Brittany.
Isn't he the funny guy from horrible histories
Interesting. It reminds me of the costumes from the Witcher franchise. They are pretty close to historical outfits most of the time. Could you give your thoughts on Olgierd van Everecs outfit? I found it the most beautiful, but also unique one. I'm not sure how realistic it is though.
am familiar with the books, bit not with the game at all so cannot say. it is a fantasy though so it might be medieval-esque rather than authentic historical style.
priorattire Just look his name up in Google images. It should be the first one. There's also a fantastic cosplay.
I'm not sure if YT allows me to post links. I'll try in a second reply.

edi
I think Olfgierd's outfit is supposed to look kind of exotic. It kind of looks like something from India. As for the rest of the game they mix a lot of different clothing styles, mostly late medieval/early rennaisance but with deviations. Anna Henrietta has a sort of Elizabethan/ Tudor look. The witch hunters as well as Toussaint's guards almost have a colonial look lol; I think it's because of the Toussaint Guard helmets and the witchhunter hats with the buckles on them. And of course there's the leather biker look that a lot of the witcher light armor has that nobody in the historical community likes lol.
Oh and I don't think high heels were invented until much later, long after the 12th century so Ciri, Yen, and Triss all have the wrong shoes :b how do you even sword fight in those things lol
What kind of social ranking would a man who dressed like this fall under?
wearing silk - upper/ nobility
Fabulous
why not dressing up a 16th/tudor century man?you left only that one
1500s is the renaissance era
I've heard once, that in the middle ages people did not have socks, pants or undershirts, but they all wore coifs. In movies you rarely see them. I wonder why they were so popular. Today no-one would wear something under a hat.
they had shirts ( chemise, shift, smock - whatever the name) , and they had hose ( sort of long socks) as well as braies ( linen boxer shorts for men) - lots of evidence in medieval paintings etc. coifs were very important - they kept your hair clean, protected from the itchy material of the hat or hood ( officially you will not be wondering around with your hair bare. hats were a very important part of outdoor attire) uk.pinterest.com/priorattire/late-medieval/

hose means literally trousers in german
I suspect that you never see them in movies because in movies, while every other aspect of costume and makeup may be spot-on, hairstyles remain staunchly 21st-century. i.e The hair of an attractive young woman (most especially the heroine) must be left long and flowing around her face. The assumption seems to be that, while they can cope with farthingales, bone stays, whitened faces or singed wigs, 21st century audiences just can't empathise with a heroine who doesn't have loose hair flying in the wind..
I think the tailors were having a laugh.
This is an awesome look, but I'm just thinking woe betide anyone wearinig pointed doublet and hose and finding themselves in an urgent need to visit the necessary...
Spencer O'Dowd You can clearly see the laces on the trousers that can be quickly undone to go to the toilet. The clothes were specifically designed for that.
Those make arms look so short
This is such a fascinating channel. How sad for those poor Medieval folk, having to spend all day getting dressed.
All day? 5-10 minutes.....
It looks almost middle eastern.
in the late medieval period (prior to the discovery of the new world), the Spice Trade through the Middle East was the road to riches for any serious european merchant. Much of Arab culture and custom influenced Europe in this time, and throughout the renaissance as well.
Not really at all, they seem to have primarily worn simple full length robes at this point. I'd say those is central and Eastern Europe shared more in common with the Arabs in their fashion.
Those hat scarf things are hideous, they look funny. Not trying to be rude I liked everything else😅
The funny thing about them. the Chaperon (the hat) may have originally been a hood+cape combo wore during cold weather. Some person decided to put it on backward and the Chaperon we all know and love came to be.
Cole Ball
Yeah, it likely started out as a hood with the face opening rolled up and the head put into it.
Personally I think they look cool as heck! Plus, there were different styles you could wear them in if you don't like that one.
This is how the rich dressed surely. Having clothes that require help to get dressed must be another symbol of status.....and still look like you fell into a charity clothes bin!
Are you shure that mens weren`t bulled by other mens for wearing this?
No because beauty standards and fashion were really weird back then like a male having a short torso or a woman being chubby
@@merod7313 the women being chubby as a beauty trend was the Boroque era in the 17th century, like the nudes that Peter Paul Reubens painted in the same era (hence the word reubenesque to describe a thicc female). The thought was the thicker the woman was, the more wealth she had so it was held as a beauty standard up through the 18th century.
Guys wearing like this were the ones doing the bullyng.
you dont have good taste in fashion you piglet. and this was prime clothing for noble men
@@milesleeplz No! It`s all others who don`t have taste
