Absurd Historical Fashion that Needs to Come Back | BlueJay | History Teacher Reacts

[@MrTerry]

What fashion trends do YOU think need to come back?

[@TheElegantPelican]

Carrying swords

[@curronwilliams]

Mutton Chops

[@duelstream.]

Cloaks

[@Nostripe361]

Cloaks. Heraldry, beige detective trench coats

[@herrforesight-Satanisking]

Begging to your mom or dad

[@giuseppe9653]

You can definetly make an entire medieval style armor using only pineapples, and you, the person reading this, should do it

[@reidithink]

If the intrusive thoughts win...

[@aidanhayes3571]

Gaim Pine Arms

[@Xinoz2]

Do this and walk into a pizzeria xD

[@nathanial8587]

defensive spiked armor, I like it! 🍍

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

@@aidanhayes3571PINE ARMS! Funsai Destroy!

[@ozarkscarguy540]

Fashionable canes and cane swords should definitely make a comeback.

[@PhlappyBird]

And fashionable swords. How cool would that be?

[@Suno-ta-sei]

Problem with the cane swords is alot of places have them straight banned. But i agree they should make a comeback

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Problem: Sword canes are forbidden by law in Germany. Because they are "concealed weapons" and having standing blades exceeding a few centimeters. You can _own_ an sword cane in Germany as a collector, but it has to be displayed in a locked case, with the sword out of the cane sheath. But you are technically forbidden to sell or buy one, so the only way to get one would be to inherit one. That said, I could've bought one at a gamer convention once and I really wanted one for a 1920s cosplay, but... I didn't.

[@marvinmurphy5523]

As an American I fail to see why I can't make my own decision on what I want to arm myself with for self defense, yet there are many laws (infringements) telling me what and where I can have defensive items.

[@sylvirgiomanach1491]

Cloaks. Cloaks and capes and capelets. One-shoulder capes. Give. Give me the dramatic flappy swooshiness. But add pockets.

[@jeremiahvires7864]

Id rock one of those shoulder cloaks Throw a couple pockets in there, perfect winter wear

[@TheRealForgetfulElephant]

Wearing bedsheets “0:08”? Buddy come join me and my friends in our club where that’s all we do 😂

[@Merennulli]

It's a shame he didn't explain the hobble skirt. That was literally lethal fashion resulting in several women dying due to the immobility. And it was sadly inspired by the first US woman (Edith Berg) who flew on an airplane tying a rope around her skirt to keep it from flying up in the wind as the airplane moved.

[@ratoh1710]

This video was a part 2 and he had talked about hobble skirts in the first one

[@Merennulli]

@@ratoh1710 Thanks for clarifying.

[@craftyninjacat]

7:20 Yes, exactly. It would completely screw up your posture and cause all kinds of pack pain, neck pain, pinched nerves. But hey, after awhile they wouldn't have to *pretend* to be crippled anymore!

[@simonyu8838]

The suit jacket/sport coat bottom button thing still exists. A few years of styles relaxing was never going to make the look less less relaxed. Many jackets incorporated it into their design a long time ago, with the bottom quarters being a bit open for better ventilation and more comfort riding a horse

[@NoahSimms-nd1ys]

Yes, you should watch 'The Peaky Blinders'. Such a good show. Brilliant acting. You'd def find some history there.

[@michealdrake3421]

One piece of clothing that is wildly underrated is cloaks. I have a black wool cloak that my wife had made for me and I love it.

[@toomanykatsu]

Ahhh shit Columbus is just Cat from Red Dwarf "this is mine, that is mine, ooooh! That's mine too!" 😂😂😂

[@Kelopio]

definitely recommend peaky blinders - it's really entertaining and interesting from a historical perspective as well

[@KamiNoBaka1]

I don't know anything about buttoning suit jackets because I generally don't wear suits. Also I love the fact that Crocs are below foot binding on the bizarre fashion trend iceberg. Just get some real sandals, man. I still might have some lingering trauma from when I worked for an inventory service and we did a Crocs store. That shit smells worse than a tire warehouse. I looked up Mexican pointy boots to see if they have a real name but the Spanish name for them directly translates into "Mexican pointy boots" (Botas picudas mexicanas). Also pineapple on pizza is delicious, as long as it doesn't clash with the other toppings. I like ham (or Canadian bacon, same thing), mushrooms, and jalapenos (or habaneros if that's an option) on a pizza with pineapple. Wouldn't go well on my actual favorite pizza, which is an alfredo sauce pizza with anchovies, green olives, mushrooms, and Italian sausage. It's not like pizza sauces at most chain pizza places aren't too sweet anyway. Especially Papa John's, I used to work there and their sauce has way too much sugar in it for a good savory pizza.

[@LordBaldur]

I personally like the pinstripe suits in the early 20th Century.

[@anthonyminimum]

The late 18th century, early to late 19th century clothing styles, they’re fashionable.

[@Mackyle-Wotring]

3:27 I now wonder if BlueJay watches Mr. Terry History videos.

[@steel8231]

A lot of fassion in history seems to follow the "look im so rich i can wear this incredibly impractical and fragile thing that needs 4 other people to tie it on" rule. Also "commor" corsets were apparently pretty loose and fairly comfortable, it was just rich women who went with the wasp waist and that was mostly to appease each other.

[@MsAngelique]

I think even most rich women were more reasonable with their corsets, and only their equivalents to trendy celebrities or idiots tried serious tightlacing. You don't even need to tightlace to get a small waisted look. Just add volume to the skirt or sleeves and you're good.

[@LupusYonderboy13]

I wear winklepickers all the time. I think they look great. Not ones with ridiculously long toes, but pointy enough to kill a bug in a corner.

[@Rolandais]

The Victorian English Wore Black....because Queen Victoria Wore black (In mourning) Also, keep in mind, most pictures...they're not wearing black, they're just not color pictures

[@DutchBlackMantha]

4:07: "Historical Accuracy is the name of the game". With a sub-title of "can't believe I said that with a straight face".

[@mcgrizzy1158]

speaking of glasses, i would love to see you re-react to The History of the Entire World...I Guess. I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched that lol

[@Suno-ta-sei]

Pointy boots basically the start to a jester cosplay.

[@johnnamorton6744]

I think two of the most underrated fashion... Early 19th century Lancers (especially the Bear Revolt era) Long Manlets with the geometric patterns in 8th and 9th century Jerusalem.

[@oliversherman2414]

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

[@szariq7338]

Simply put, fur hats with feathers of Polish nobility SLAY.

[@Rallarberg]

Without spoiling, Peaky Blinders is a bit like Breaking Bad, only opposite :P Really good show.

[@Tekdruid]

During the 90's, 90's fashion was cool. Then it became cringe for some 20 years, before people bringing it back ironically or nostalgically at first until it became authentically cool again. That's just how it works.

[@22kbut]

When he said "Wear a boat on the head" pretty sure he just gave Lady Gaga a weird new fashion idea.

[@lordofuzkulak8308]

7:37 - same here; skeletal deformities suck. 😠

[@renchesandsords]

"unfortunately that method isn't around anymore" well... at least we're getting one fashion trend that's kinda coming back?

[@TravelTejas]

Great video. Keep up the good work

[@chrishopkins1492]

Loving the JoJos Bozzare Adventure aside. Giorno Brando, son of Dio Brando. The biggest Anime Villain imo

[@moonkiitty]

The button rules still apply, at least as far back as fifteen years ago when I was taking junior cotillion classes. They're taught to women too now. I still try to follow them when I can; sometimes I have to stand up and sit down multiple times in a few minutes, making following the rules difficult. xD

[@hamclapper2654]

You might like peaky blinders there are some historical figures portrayed in it and some very timepiece elements

[@pilot8404]

Its so funny as soon as he said red shoes ik it was foot binding cuz I remember my old history teacher got super into chinese history

[@divineone3288]

we call those pointy shoes "Poky ticklers" here in Barbados.

[@thefanification]

with all due respect there is a difference between function, comfort and form. crocks are ugly, but are comfortable, not quite as useful as steel toe boots though (my personal fave footwear choice)

[@bekkatheman]

As someone with two different size feet and and wide width, it is horrid to find shoes.

[@toomanykatsu]

Also along with Winklepickers if you want something a bit more alt my bestie from childhood wore FLUEVOGS yaaaaaaassssss

[@Nitehawke]

Not a fashion but a book recommendation - "The Lost City of the Monkey God" by Douglas Preston. It's a non-fiction and I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit.

[@craftyninjacat]

Okay, lady here and no, no big heels for me. That "tilt" also wrecks up your posture. (I think that was the question?)

[@dawnwilkening3251]

As a woman I can say it's a definite no to those tilted shoes. My level of coordination without shoes almost at a zero as it is. I wouldn't mind seeing them bring back the 20s flapper dresses and or the 50s poodle skirts. And hell, for the fun of it , the half cut shirts and short shorts for men from the 80s. 😂 Bring back that Richard Simmons flair.

[@mattperson7293]

Square Sponge!!

[@selkie76]

9:04 Well, I have a pair of shoes like that... but it's only because I broke the heel by stepping off a surprisingly tall kerb badly and haven't taken them to be repaired yet... good to know that I can pass them off as haute couture for the time being though. ^.~

[@Nitehawke]

I have psoriatic arthritis in both knees. I already limp on both legs. So if it's super fashionable to live on 2k mg of Advil daily just to function I guess I'm already there.

[@juliettemay2666]

Hello! Woman follower here! I very much enjoy your videos! I’m a history nerd and I love these funny historical videos!

[@anthonyminimum]

7:26 Apparently Mr Terry walks like Lester from GTA V, how interesting.

[@sydniaunderwood2000]

As the 10% female demo, I don't even where heels as it is because i walk like a baby deer 😂😂😂 dont need a cut down heel to walk funny

[@Kehman86]

Something that needs a comeback is the 18th century lead cosmetic. 😅

[@benatmorisset3500]

If you want them for their health effects, there is a chance that today's cosmetics also have some issues that just have not been discovered yet

[@widowswine7994]

Mr terry If you like WW1 history and the things that came in the following years i think that you would LOVE peaky blinders

[@toomanykatsu]

Heyyyyyyyy long leg buddies! I have something called Hemi 3 Syndrome which means one whole side is bigger and I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING IT ON PURPOSE OMG MY LOWER BACK KILLS ME JUST NATIVELY 😭

[@craftyninjacat]

Yeesh I know that's gotta be painful, probably everywhere. I'm so sorry.

[@toomanykatsu]

@@craftyninjacat i mean, as with most chronic conditions (of which i have plenty, yaaaay), it's like that meme it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, OW GOD WHY DID YOU CURSE ME WITH THIS BODY, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine lol but most of my stuff is mild to moderate, luckily, so I don't have it as bad as some ^_^'

[@gillygorschboth6312]

As a woman, I do not need the tilt in my life.

[@windhelmguard5295]

one fashion trend i want to see come back giant ass samurai helmets.

[@MrFraktaali]

for pointiest shoes check the leningrad cowboys!

[@craftyninjacat]

Mr. Terry, please look for a PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) certified physical therapist in your area. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I'm in a similar boat and out of all the doctors and therapists I've gone to over the past decade, these guys are the only ones who have actually made a lasting difference for me.

[@oliversherman2414]

*WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA....*

[@lolz3938]

as a woman i like being balanced, can't imagine how painful it would be after a day

[@hakonsgaming535]

Hey @MrTerry hate to say it but you're wrong about the US moving into Hawaii for pineapples, there were indeed a number of Americans in Hawaii growing pineapples and setting up plantations, and they actually staged a coup at one point and tried to get the US to annex them like Texas, however the US basically told them to screw off and that they weren't going to recognize them and to put the Hawaiin monarchy back. It was a decade or two later that the US moved in, and then it wasn't exactly for economic reasons. The Hawaiians were doing a pretty good job of playing various powers with pacific interests (mainly the US, Britain and Japan) off against each other, but the Japanese started to get more and more influential as the US was eyeing Honolulu for a naval station and eventually the US moved in and more or less forced the issue, largely because Hawaii's location in the center of the pacific is extremely strategically valuable, the US navy still has massive facilities at Honolulu and there are large arsenals on the island housing a significant amount of the US munitions stockpiles since it's a convenient place to have them if we needed to run military operations anywhere in east or south asia.

[@jehoiakimelidoronila5450]

Jesus christ why blue Jay refer to the pizza as "cheesy grease wheel" at 15:36...

[@Mario_Capone]

Imo you'd probably love peaky blinders it's loosely based on a real gang

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

Pineapple helmets must become a thing… lol

[@craftyninjacat]

I don't care I just want this high-waist trend to GO AWAY. It literally gives me a stomachache when I try to wear that sh*t.

[@WanderingWriter]

mr terry needs pineapple glasses

[@jenniferpearce1052]

Muffs. The hand warmer kind

[@jehoiakimelidoronila5450]

Bring the awesome boots trend back. Current trends are getting overrated. And the pineapple helmet needs to make appearance, that'd be sick Also I'm with you on the crocs

[@blacknorthwind93]

Thank God, I live a time where I can wear something comfy, cause Hate heels with passion.

[@DonalvonGriffyn]

'Sometimes, Always, Never' was a thing for about a hundred years. But these days shows that you're old fashioned or conservative.

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

Surprised to learn I'm in the 1% of viewers on this channel: left handed woman.

[@LisaHoneychan]

I’m left handed as well!

[@JKingSniper]

All these trends just look uncomfortable

[@jenniferpearce1052]

Ok, you're the cartoon guy...but he's dressed Donald Duck style: no pants!

[@DennisFreyBooks]

What makes you think Mr. Terry wears pants? 🤔

[@jonathanolsgaard5697]

Peeky Blinders, and yes, why not.

[@sofia-rosegionomo8201]

Fashion and comfort are antonyms.

[@MrTerry]

I think we need to change that

[@benatmorisset3500]

We can just consider T-shirt + comfy pants + sneakers fashionable and boom! We have fashion that is confortable. Perhaps we just need some monarch to show the example although tech giants have already done this I think

[@animeproblem1070]

Yes Columbus by definition discovered pineapples because he and 90% of the world back then didn't know they even existed just because a group of people know about something and another group of people eventually learn about that thing doesn't mean the second group didn't discover it because discovery just means learning about something new

[@itoibo4208]

ikr? We discovered America! The native people there. "Oh, really?" 😄

[@mariatolis4529]

I’m done for togas.

[@MsAngelique]

I want corsets to come back. They weren't torture devices. They supported the back and bosom. Also, Victorian women's clothing was actually very colorful. It looks dull because of photography tech being black and white.

[@TheGrinningViking]

Mr. Terry calling different sized shoes dumb while describing a problem he has that could be fixed with different sized shoes. Just get those lifts insecure men get on the short side. Walk even my dude 👍

[@onliwankannoli]

Could someone let me know when cargo shorts come back, eh? 😆

[@benatmorisset3500]

When royalty will wear them I guess
