Button Boots & How To Fasten them with a Button Hook

[@catmonsterguy8749]

My grandmother found a Victorian button hook in the bottom of a box she had that she only just remembered she had, and i now use the hook.

WOW, I am really liking the new effects like the one at 0:33 they really add detail and makes the video easier to understand, as well as the text animations.

[@GenX6887]

Very Nice! It's obvious these boots were inspired by spats over dress boots, though I could be wrong. I also noticed that wearing colorful dress socks with loafers practically mimics button boots. It looked as if you were wearing white dress socks with black loafers when you wore those boots, and it looked great!

[@mattekudasai8249]

i think it was the other way around, spats inspired by these

[@GenX6887]

@@mattekudasai8249 Probably so

[@krishnaoli9629]

The buttoning process is so satisfying. :)

[@horseenthusiast9903]

Oh, neat! I watch this channel because I love clothes, but I mostly know things about women's clothing in the 12th-13th centuries and the 1840's-60's (with the latter eras inspiring my daily wear). Buttonhooks are a very familiar implement to me, since a Victorian woman needs a buttonhook for her boots, blouse, dress, jacket, etc...speaking of which, if anybody is interested in an affordable, Victorian style buttonhook, historical reproduction show company American Duchess has one for $15 with a very wonderfully weighted handle, decorated in scrolling patterns. Victorians were very fond of teeny tiny buttons, so for me, a buttonhook is just as essential as shoelaces or an iron in making an outfit behave the way it ought to.

This channel's obsession with the details is borderline metaphysical. Raphael's got a video *about buttoning*. 10/10.

Hi. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are very informative. I would like to see more videos on accessories such as hats and when is appropriate to wear them ( casual or formal setting). thanks and please keep making quality content.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Thanks! We will add that to the list for consideration.

[@VanBurenOfficial]

[@trapguitar]

Hey, nice video! I've never seen someone wearing button boots nowadays. But why? They look dapper and classy, which brings me to the following, what about showing us some outfits with button boots? What can you wear with em? Are they only to be worn in a very formal situation?

[@gentlemansgazette]

Read the guide my friend and I even mention what you can wear them with in the video.

How to do the hook on your boots?

[@herculepoirot4488]

This is my favourite kind of footware.

[@michaelbell3952]

Were can I buy them?

[@219garry]

I have an old wood handle tool. I had no idea this is what it was for. I thought it was for something like pulling electrical wires thru a hole. LOL

[@FoxyPercival714]

There is also spats but those are like the same thing but you put them on and over the shoes.

[@emilgustafsson3843]

Hercule Poirot style.

[@herculepoirot4488]

How did you know?

[@lebrunfranck1806]

Hello, where do you buy the buttons boots ?

[@PieFaceGuy9000]

All fun and games until your in a rush and have to do every button.

[@Rainer67059]

The black part of the boot looks like a galosh. I wonder whether they were once typically made as overshoes.

[@fireline4765]

First question, where and how do I acquire button boots?

[@Muttonchop_USA]

American Duchess sells men's historical boots.

[@mikeymik2]

J Fitzpatrick

[@freestyleoldscool135]

Please tell me where to get theses from....

[@henrygeorge9507]

Where can I find these types of boots? Great video once again!

[@AlanMDee]

those are some real pimpin shoes

[@hmoen]

Hi Rafael, I really fell in love with these boots. I looked for them online but can't find anything, and the ones I found so far they are around 700€. Any idea where I can find them under 200€? Thank in advance :D (BTW you have no idea how much your videos changed my life. in last year I went from the guy who always had max 2 pairs of shoes to have 23 pairs, and of course an entire new wardrobe to go with it )

[@98LuckyLuk]

You will not find something like these for under 200€. J Fitzpatrick are the "cheapest" ones I am aware of. They are on sale right now for around 300 Pounds.

[@anonanonymity3620]

These boots aren't going to be mass produced due to low demand so they'll have to be made by a cobbler, which is good for you because then you know you're getting quality. However this means they'll be expensive. Save your money up, it's worth it.

[@DubbleM900]

Very late reply, but Taft offers a somewhat lower quality button boot with snap buttons and a zipper on the inner side of the boot for $275 or about $250€ if that helps.

[@LOUDsigh]

I'd rock sum button boots. Doubt that's the name i should call stores &ask for tho... Local newspaper trivia brought me here (thumbprint news)

[@travismaupin6617]

Love

[@javinchee4534]

Where do you even buy these?

[@gentlemansgazette]

Go to the website ;)

[@curtalford6126]

I went to your website looking for these, but can't find them. I clicked on the links for a couple of your advertisers thinking perhaps they had some button boots. I'm not seeing any, though. Am I being blind to the obvious?

[@AlbinoRaccoon97]

Well there is a list on their website which makes button boots, however this type of footwear is general one you must get custom made; they typically aren't ready made

[@konradallan]

There is a brand called J. FitzPatrick that sells them, you can check them out online.

[@jefflewis1338]

No, no, you have gone too far. Only exhibitionist posers would ever wear these. Like spats they were a fashion of the past best left to the history books. Love your videos and info sheets with which I have really improved my appearance.
