"You're representing a peasant without manners" is a sentence I want to start using just in everyday speech.

[@MacMichael267]

...unless you're saying that to a real Peaky Blinder...😉 Just a recommendation.😁

😂😂😂 me too!!

[@gentlemansgazette]

Great advice! Equally great to see your conversation with Jack again 😄 When worlds collide... 😉

[@TheHellbat]

You know it's a great night when the bloody, legendary Vintagebursche uploads, thanks for the tips, mate.

[@alandormire4587]

As I rarely leave the house without a hat, I would say go for it.

[@misskelevra]

I love how upset you get about the propeller bowtie and white sneakers guys 😆

[@JoletteRoodt]

I'm not a man and have not been invited to any theme parties for Christmas but I loved this video.🎩

[@siegfriedo]

I went to 1920s - 40s company xmas party last year. I sported dark trousers, white shirt with a neck tie, brown waistcoat and a fedora hat. All that topped off with a proper pencil mustache. I know it's not ideal, but still better than half of the clowns in over or undersized rental clothes and the other half who did not even try and wore contemporary casual (read sloppy) clothing. 😂

Its a great Saturday morning here in Florida with a new vintagebursche. ❤

[@gabrielvega1713]

Going on what I think is a date to what I think is a speakeasy tomorrow so this helps

[@marlabrown8022]

LOVED this video! My son is going to a 1920’s party and we’ve been so lost on what to do! This wrapped it all up with a nice bow!! Thanks so much!! New subscriber here.

[@teddycuthbert]

I would be utterly delighted to see a video from you on making a late 1910s/early 1920s 'Jazz suit'! Young men in America adored the extremity of the proportions/cut (and so do I, hehe)!

[@shatterquartz]

It was a faux pas to wear a hat indoors in the 1920s, and it's even more of one now. When I see someone with a hat on in a closed room, I know for sure they're a fool, a poseur, or in the case of a politician in a cowboy hat, both.

[@LNER4771]

My go-to 20's/30's outfit is somewhat of a cross between bootlegger and jazz junkie. I either wear Oxford bags or a pair of triple-pleat trousers, along with matching waistcoat and jacket, spear-point shirt and vintage black-and-gold necktie. Topping it off is an old brown Dobbs Fifth Avenue hat.

[@user-pz4tx7if9d]

Nice video. I myself am more a fan of Prussian field jackets and end of 20s-40s suits

[@airsoftgunswithclassicalmu8393]

If it were an evening occasion, I'd probably opt for wearing an evening tailcoat or a classic black tie ensemble :)

[@J.J._Mason]

Love this! As someone from the black country, I usually stay away from the peaky blinders dress, as it has negative connotations here due to the modern ne'er-do-wells dressing like them for some reason

[@MacMichael267]

@Vintagebursche I was both surprised and delighted by the new intro for it being shorter! And had a good laugh about the faux-pas many make. Let's hope those gents watch your brilliant video at all😅

[@dandiehm8414]

I don't know - I kind of liked the old intro.

[@xenophilus1343]

Very nice video, love the glasses!

[@TheMachonachoz]

Nice curl on the end of the mustache! Great video as well.

[@iradiakalenz4225]

1:30 that's a GG guy! Should we expect a collaboration?

[@Vintagebursche]

We had a chat in my video about The Sartorial Club.

[@imperialesoberkommando]

I was at a 20s themed party at the student club just a couple days ago and it is funny and sad at the same time how accurate you described how the most people attending such a party dress there. Pre tied bow ties, clip on braces, skinny jeans, visible belts and shirts under waistcoats, belts combined with suspenders, hats and caps inside and who would even think about putting any effort styling their modern cut hair to get at least a little closer to the 20s hair styles and the imo by far worst thing: the sneakers, hiking shoes, modern winter boots and whatever else awful shoes you can think of. I already set my expectations really low that evening considering I can not expect that much from students of a STEM university fashionwise and I myself was far from perfect in my modern cut rather skinny shawl lapel dinner suit without any waist covering and cap toe oxfords where the heaviest enthuiasts would probably be bothered by the cap toe but I was still disappointed how low the effort was the men made. And I would not even be that bothered by the more peasant looks with the caps inside, the clip on braces without jackets and waistcoats and so on since we students are somewhat like peasants in general but the shoes completely ruin everything for me. The girls were not that much better, a couple ones had decent dresses and hair styles but still many bad shoe choices. The DJ also was quite mediocre, many too modern foxtrot/quickstep tact titles many remixes a few swing titles and completely off topic titles. All in all I should probably not have had any expectations at all but I guess rather than being discouraged to do it somewhat properly we should feel even more encouraged to dress as accurate as possible and make a difference.

[@dandiehm8414]

Well done video. I always enjoy your videos - I wish you would upload more often!

[@Vintagebursche]

Thank you! And I wish I had the time to make more videos.

[@bobbirdsong6825]

Hey, I’m curious if you ever intend to do any meet ups with your fans? Could be a themed party like you’re describing here

[@danthetrip4093]

Can you do dressing a 1880s men for a spring weekend

[@theboredkhakros]

hey, can u make a vid how to sew a mangtoo ( or over coat ) in peaky blinder step by step ?

[@BadMotivator66]

new intro! :O

[@Mr.happy689]

Im doing this without q whole party thing

[@thetruefrozy]

My man taking this way too serious lol

[@voskmo]

this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time. love iiiit

[@Hugo_Schmeisser]

Can you wear a vest with double-brested jacket? I saw many photos old of man wearing it like that but never today.

[@kakulafrank1102]

Can a blue suit and black shirt combo work???

[@cesarmejia1900]

Could you wear a turtleneck and overcoat for a 1920s day event? ... Recently watched Brideshead Revisited again and saw the Jeremy Irons character, Charles Ryder, wearing this combination. How accurate is it? 🤔

[@Vintagebursche]

As far as I know the turtleneck is rooted in the navy and civil sailors making its way to dock and factory workers. I don't know the movie you are referring to, but I wouldn't wearing with a suit before 1950. It was made popular in combination with a suit during the 1960s and later on by leftist intellectuals.

Hi Niklas, I tried to do wire transfer to get that physical book but my bank doesn’t support international transfer. Is there another payment method? Thanks Gabriel

[@Vintagebursche]

Hey Gabriel, thank you for your interest. The only alternative is PayPal.

[@gabrielcurmi1499]

@@Vintagebursche ok 👍. Thanks for getting back to me:) As always I appreciate what your doing😊

[@GenreFluid]

Out of curiosity what about women?

[@Vintagebursche]

Ladieswear is not my area of expertise, but there are a lot of YT channels on historical clothing for women.

[@gunlimitedammo3888]

Would a cummerbund in the early 20th century style (which is to say, a long sash that isn’t necessarily black/maroon and is perhaps patterned) acceptable to wear to a 1920s party or would it be too out of date?

[@Vintagebursche]

Depends on the event imho. Not every party in the 1920s had a strict dresscode and for a party of artists and other creative people that would have been absolutely fitting.

[@Colin.Smith.Pianist]

First off, i LOVE your content. You taught me how to make welt pockets and I'm unstoppable. Second WHERE TF is your dramatic intro???

[@Vintagebursche]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@jojoandthecats]

Bit more complicated, the rules about hats in the 1920s. For instance, in lower-end speakeasies men often kept their hats on.
