Summer Ensemble

The jacket is linen with many hand done elements including the buttonholes and pockets. I based it heavily on the extant example at Colonial Williamsburg and another at the Kent museum. I was going to draft it myself But I lost my book so I just altered my tailcoat pattern. It was really cool to make a garment more specific to where I’m from. It can be worn with or without a vest.

The breeches are made with cotton with a slight sheen. I think it’s glazed cotton. The buckles I got from Burnley and Trowbridge and I like them a lot.

Both fabrics and the cravat fabric were acquired second hand.

The straw hat is vintage from roughly 1950s

Court Suit

c.1810

France

This three piece suit is exemplary of skilled French embroidery and the silhouette of men's court wear during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Bonaparte revived the importance of court traditions when he crowned himself Emperor in 1804. This revival necessitated the recreation of acceptable court dress, which had been defunct since the elaborate and costly court of Louis XVI (1754-1793) prior to the French Revolution. The intricate embroidery pattern is intriguingly mimicked between the waistcoat and coat, reinforcing its status as a full suit. (The MET)

England, Byrne Estate, in the aftermath of the Treaty of Paris, 1814

An amicable bustle of light conversation mingles with the early summer air, laying comfortably mild across an otherwise lukewarm soiree; It is a modest congregation of gentlefolk that has come to dawdle in the gardens of the good Captain's estate, ladies in arms and men of the states, men of war, gathered far and not so far at all to partake in the clandestine performance of aristocratic repertoire. To show face, so to speak, as contracturally obligated by their standing in light of recently wordly events which might merit such a perfectly muted display of tactful camraderie.

It's almost impressive how dutifully they perform the charade of civility, expressions downright cordial, regardless of which sir or dame might otherwise stand to be associated with whom amongst their neighbour at any other time of day--

Or night, at the risk of tempting indiscretion. But that is to digress. What stands to matter is that the neatly trimmed lawn is host to many fine people on this particular eve, milling about to the strum of vaguely convivial chords and partaking in the finest selection of quaint appetizers His Majesty the King's money could afford. What stands to matter is the arrangement of finely laid out tables, neatly framing the grassy borders at the far brickwall, offering their bounties of fruits and tarts and fruity tarts with, at their center, a truly impressive layered trifle.

What stands to matter is that that's the one she goes through, first.

A cacophany of shattered glass and ungraceful clatters heralds it. The aftermath of one sly figure's improvised fence vault rings a discordant note throughout the merry gathering she interrupts, affronted gasps and startled squeaks taking the attendants like a wave as their baffled gazes tear from each other to fall upon her character - and she must look quite the image indeed, gaudy in her swallowpaint tailcoat and dandelion undershirt, the distinguished rosy-pink pantalons a sight to catch the eye even before she'd bepeckled herself with the benobled's early-dinner desserts. And stunned as they be, she doesn't stop at simply thus.

She breaks into a dash across the lawn, swift, steady, footing hardly lost from the fall and weaving through the crowds with little but quick nudges and darts of 'Pardon Me's'. At the heel of her wake, two constables struggle to make it over the wall in pursuit, clumsy in their scrabble of alarmed shouts whilst a third appears further down the lane - having evidently opted to spare himself the dignity and go through the gates, instead. He sprints whilst his companions drop onto what remains of already turned over tables and tarts, attendants splitting aside from his beeline to allow him to catch, to reach--

His target, however, is not yet lost for diversions.

"Spare a hand, lass?" The swallowtailed interloper ducks, for lack of a better word, into the brace of a singled-out lady ahead, dark-haired, fair-figured and keen eyed all at a gaze; A flash, for a blink, strikes her of something poignat she can't quite put her tongue to, through she does not wait to find the words, nor does she wait for a response before her arm shoots around the woman's waist and her hand finds a clasp in hers. With a smile and a mischievous glint, she spins them both aback - letting go to twirl the other straight into the arms of the constable behind, who promptly stumbles in reach for propriety. That'd be her cue to leave.

"Much appreciated. Enchanté--!"

200 Followers Gift: 19th-century Men's Lookbook

Finally, here it is. A gift to you all for getting my follower count up to a whole 200. I know it's not a huge milestone, but I'm excited about it, and I'm glad so many other people are interested in the things I make. As of right now I have 212 followers, and there were only about 190 students at my elementary school. That's weird. That's a lot of people.

This is a more informal lookbook than my usual ones. I haven't really gone all in on the photo editing. It's more of a timeline of fashion than a true lookbook. Note that it's a mix of casual wear (1810, 1820, 1830, 1850), regular daywear (1800, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890) and evening wear (1840).

1800s: hair / glasses (TSR) / suit / boots (Base Game)

1810s: hair / facial hair (Base Game) / vest / breeches / boots

1820s: hair / facial hair / vest / pants (Discover University) / boots

1830s: hair / facial hair (Base Game) / outfit / boots (Base Game)

1840s: hair / facial hair (Base Game) / suit / shoes

1850s: hair / facial hair / outfit / shoes (Base Game)

1860s: hat / hair / facial hair / suit / gloves (Base Game)

1870s: hat / hair / facial hair (Cottage Living) / jacket / pants (Sack Pants) / gloves (Base Game) / boots

1880s: hat / hair / facial hair (Horse Ranch) / suit / boots

1890s: hat / hair / facial hair (Cats & Dogs) / suit (Professor Plum) / shoes (Get Together)

God help us – for art is long and life is short! (Faust: First Part, written by Johann Wolfgang Goethe and published in 1808)

hiiii heres the first part of what will (hopefully!!!) be a series of western women's fashion from 1800 to today. obviously, not all women looked like this or dressed like this. in fact, most didn't - these are largely going to be looks worn by women of a higher socioeconomic class, at least until maybe the 1880s. this is for a few reasons, mostly being, uh... availability of cc. i'd love to MAKE some historical cc but my laptop won't run blender. another reason is that the fashion of the upper classes is typically better recorded than that of lower classes, especially before the advent and popularization of photography. i'm just rambling now.

anyway! the first part: 1800-1809. we see the opulence of the georgians cling onto fashion in bows, feathers, and jewels. we also see the rise of waistlines to the iconic empire waist, and the influences of neoclassical aesthetics in fashion. hairstyles in particular were emulating those of the ancient greeks, also pulling a bit from the stuarts. this decade also allows me to share one of my favorite tidbits of fashion history: the coiffure à la titus! for a short time in the 1790s through the 1810s, some women (french women especially) took to cutting their hair short and choppy. the reasons range from inspiration taken from a popular play at the time, to symbolizing solidarity with women executed via guillotine. some men at the time thought that having short hair was actually hazardous to women's health, so while the titus cut wasn't the norm, it was widespread enough to cause quite a storm!

you'll notice that 1806 is missing. that's because the dress i used, uh... completely messed up the arms and i did not notice until i was making the gif. if you wanna see it, it'll be under the cut.

Thomas John Chew the fashion victim of  USS Constitution and USS Chesapeake

Portrait of Thomas John Chew, by unknown c. 1820 (x)

Thomas John Chew sailed as purser on the USS Constitution from 1 June 1812 to 26 September 1812. He was on board when the ship captured HMS Guerriere on 19 August 1812 and was awarded a Congressional Silver Medal for his actions and service and shared with the crew $50,000 in prize money. After acting as purser of the Boston Navy Yard for a time, he transferred to USS Chesapeake. He was on board that vessel during the battle against the HMS Shannon on June 1, 1813. According to some accounts, Chew supported the mortally wounded Captain James Lawrence as he uttered his famous last command: "Don't give up the ship." Chew was taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia as a Prisoner of War after the battle, but was quickly exchanged. We went on to serve as purser on board several other US Navy ships as well as for the New York Navy Yard. He resigned from the Navy on March 12, 1821. He died in 1846.

Chew’s shirt, 19th century (x)

The purser was the ship's commercial agent, purser, grocer and storekeeper all in one. His duties, which required a high degree of organisation and business acumen, included keeping the ship's pay and muster rolls and paying the officers and crews.

His trousers, 19th century (x)

He was responsible for procuring and issuing provisions to the crew. In addition, the purser ran a ship's shop where the men could buy clothing, hygiene articles, utensils, knives, ribbons, needles, thread, mustard, chocolate, coffee, tea, sugar and tobacco. In order to keep track of everything, the purser had to keep detailed accounts in accordance with naval regulations. During a battle, the purser was stationed in the cockpit to help the surgeon dress the wounded. He received $40.00 per month and two rations per day.

The red suspenders, 19th century (x)

But it was not only the pay of the purser that was enticing, but also the opportunity to make large profits by selling clothing and supplies to the crew at sea. Since there was no competition and the 450 men and boys aboard a frigate represented a steady market, there was room for extraordinary profits.

His stays, c. 1810-1820 (x)

Because he earned so well, he could of course dress in the latest and best fashions from Europe. Underneath he wore the finest trousers, red suspenders and shirts and even a man's corset or stay. Men's stays were also used in the army, for hunting, and for strenuous exercise. In the opinion of the fashion magazine of the time, this gave him an aristocratic look, and that was what he was after. Even though he continued to serve in the Navy, he was still a wealthy gentleman and he wanted to show that through his appearance.

I’ve been very busy this month. Click on the pictures for full resolution.

I got the socks from American Duchess and my cravat is a rayon fabric I made into a cravat. Rayon is a really great substitute when silk is often too expensive, it also wrinkles less.

Hi! This is purely out of reaction to that Napoleonic portrait with the carrick coat and bc I recently started following (and enjoying) your blog, but is there any chance you know the name of this kind of toga-like cloak from the late 1790s? I drew one recently from a bunch of painting references but haven't been able to associate a term.

These are 1798 Louis-Léopold Boilly - Artists in Isabey's Studio and 1798 Jacques-Augustin-Catherine Pajou - Portrait of a family respectively

Either way, love your commentary on 18th-19th century fashions!

Hello, and my apologies for taking forever to answer this!! I didn't forget about this ask, I just didn't feel like I had a satisfactory answer.

As far as I can tell, these are both examples of a loose-fitting greatcoat or cloak. It feels anachronistic in an era when men's coats are getting a lot tighter and more fitted, but 1800ish men still had billowing cloaks and greatcoats (sometimes).

Men's long greatcoat of 1809-1810 at centre, from Handbook of English Costume in the 19th Century by Phillis and C. Willett Cunnington.

The same source describes men's overcoats of the period 1800 to 1810:

THE BOX COAT was a very large and loose great coat with one or more capes. Originally a driving-coat for wearing on the box of a coach this came to be worn, in cold weather, even on foot. [...]

THE CLOAK was not in fashion though often worn when travelling on the outside of a coach. It was very long and usually fastened by straps down the front.

The Dictionary of Fashion History by Valerie Cumming dates box coats to the late 18th century, so that's one possible answer.

On Smallclothes

So I've been reading and writing a lot that takes place in the 1700s, and I've noticed a lot of writers referring to smallclothes (also called smalls), which are a contemporary form of underwear.

But I need to make a point that this is not modern boxers/briefs/panties underwear.

I'm not a fashion historian or anything; most of what I know comes from renfaires and research for writing purposes. But a quick search led me to this:

smallclothes pl (plural only)

Knee-length breeches, worn especially in the 18th century.

2. (Britain, archaic) Underwear and other small items of clothing.

(from Wictionary)

I've seen some posts referring to the fact that a lot of the times when we portray men in historic pieces, they tend to put them in tight pants and a big puffy shirt to look historic-ish, while... that's kinda the modern equivalent to them running around in boxers and a tank top. Like, you can? You're not naked or anything. But a decidedly Informal look, and it's going to look very out of place if you're meant to be at a black tie event.

I came across this really nice illustration, actually, sourced from here.

The smallclothes would be the white garment that's kind of set behind the blue and red pants.

You'll notice that the white shirt and pants from the first picture aren't actually visible on the men in the second picture, who are wearing the full uniform. Because they're underwear.

I realize that I'm using an illustration that's focused on 1810s fashion to demonstrate something about 1700s fashion, so I could be way off base.

But consider: before the advent of modern detergents and washing machines, laundry was so much more a pain in the ass than it is now. Mud and dust could be brushed off fairly easily, but the thing that was going to do the most lasting damage to your clothes was your own sweat and body oils-- so you'd wear an inner layer that would protect your outer clothes and keep them from having to be laundered more frequently.

(As I recall, T-shirts and tank-tops both served this purpose before eventually becoming street-wear).

The layers also helped keep you warmer-- which, in a time before cars or effective central heating, particularly in Europe before the industrial revolution (and thus pre major global warming)-- was a feature, not a bug. (Less so for the Europeans who carried their cold-adapted fashion choices to the tropical climates that they tried to colonize, but I think overheating represents the least of their poor life choices.)
