Answering Your Questions on Vintage Style

[@DandyWellington]

What are your vintage style questions?

[@kitdubhran2968]

Yes on the hats video. Yes on the casual clothes video. Shoes? Sources and styles? My question: adapting men’s clothing styles to female bodies, whether trans or gender fluid or just wanting to mix up the presentation a bit. Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe a guest speaker?

[@tnmtemerity]

How do you style your tea? I’ve become quite a fan of Yorkshire Gold.

[@sarahbettany7546]

I work in horticulture, so pretty rough and ready. Come the milder/warmer months I have a pretty good landgirl vibe going on (it helps that I'm a needlesmith), but I'd love a deeper a dive into workwear. I haven't cracked winter, because between the cold and the getting wet I really do just stop caring about what I look like so long as I'm warm and dry.

[@ElizaBeth-ng3pu]

I would be interested in a video that talks about where to cut corners. We all would love to have an exclusively vintage exquisitely material wardrobe… But that ain’t gonna happen for most people… Where, in your opinion, are the best places to fudge a bit.

[@ninja13b]

Yes please on the video on casual vintage.

[@DandyWellington]

It’s such a robust subject. I’m excited!

[@nicklh186]

I second this 👍🏾

[@geckovonparsley8200]

I too would love to see a longer take on vintage casual wear.

[@sarahbettany7546]

@@nicklh186 I third it!

[@robertamckeon5082]

Dandy, I have no questions just an applause for a guy that encourages people to live the vintage life. Carry on my brother. Also you look fabulous.

[@kitdubhran2968]

“My days of freezing my buns off for fashion are over. Over I tell you.” *sips tea * Yes. This.

[@kitdubhran2968]

I really love watching them, and I always learn at least a little something. You’re really entertaining (shocking, since you’re an entertainer, right?) and you always look fantastic, so I’d be willing to watch you talk about, idunno, socks for a whole video. 😂

[@DandyWellington]

Very kind of you to say! I'm a nerd about these things anyway but these video allow me to do more and more research. Thanks for watching!

[@petsdinner]

14:48 FINALLY someone willing to stand up and defend the honour of pleats!!

[@YountPower]

I'm glad you mentioned Pendleton! Us Native Americans are CRAZY about Pendleton! I won a Pendleton shawl in a raffle one time that I gifted to my Mom (half-blood Seneca), and she loves it! I even have a Pendleton denim vest, and it is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe!

[@pankakotakismegalomavropou3355]

Really? That's pretty cool to know. I've met maybe 1 native or indigenous person in my life. Maybe you should write or make a video about vintage too.

[@Emerson-m3f]

Awesome video as always! I would definitely love both a casual vintage video and an in depth hat video, I'd be especially interested in hats with brims. When I go to university or any sort of store I need a hat to create shade as the lights give me severe headaches and nausea, but the only type of hat I've found so far that has enough of a brim is a baseball cap and perhaps a flat cap of sorts, but it is hard to find and style hats in a vintage outfit whilst still having the shade from the hat I need. Once again awsome video and looking forward to the next :-)

[@DandyWellington]

Thanks for watching and this comment. There are a few hats that could work for you. There is also a style a baseball cap that has a super long brim. My friends at Butcher James sell them but I'm sure you can find them vintage too.

[@caoimhenimhuireadhaigh1303]

I suffer from chronic migraines, and have incorporated hats into my daily style to help reduce the amount of light getting in over my sunglasses. I advise going into a shop that has a wide variety of fedora style hats to figure out how wide of a brim that you require. Personally I found wearing a peaked cap useless for keeping the light out, as it didn't prevent light coming in from the sides. For summer, a straw hat, even a boater, is perfect for me

[@Kristina-gz2wu]

Gene Kelley had a great casual stylish look.

[@TheLonelyGod42]

I would also love a whole video on casual vintage!

[@DandyWellington]

will do! Thank for watching!

[@RKKY-mf7fe]

I need a boater! Want to use it as a prop while lindy hopping and solo dancing.

[@Kristina-gz2wu]

I just found your channel. I love men who take the time to look nice, like they did 1950s and back. I love a man in a fedora! Both of my grandfathers wore them and the movies I grew up watching as well. I am a 1940's history buff so I love men's fashion from that era. Women have always been expected to dress up but casual mens wear seams to keep going from grunge to grungier.

[@IDoDeclareify]

I would love a video singing the praises of pleated trousers!!

[@gbasek]

You are the first KZbinr I've ever seen do a land acknowledgement, that was really awesome.

[@fabiovenhorst]

I love hats! Pleated trousers are heaven!

[@TheLonelyGod42]

Yes! Hat video! Please and thank you!!!

[@animatedmooncloud3181]

Yeees please more casual vintage~ and maybe a hat tour of all the hats you have. 😁 I remember my grandpa and granuncle wearing the busboy hats and letting me wear them when I was little. They were my favorite thing to wear.

[@monkeyssocks]

I love your use of colour in your outfits

[@FrugalOverFifty]

I'd love a video on casual vintage clothing - especially using natural fibers. I'd love to get into vintage clothing, and I'm especially interested in casual clothing. Thank you!

[@tinajohnston8139]

I would love to see a video about hats and a video about casual style!

[@kitdubhran2968]

My favorite hats are the newsboy cap and the porkpie. The smaller brims suit my face shape a little better. We probably don’t have as many hats in my house as you, but there are three of us, and we all love hats. So... 😅 there are quite a few.

[@FrugalOverFifty]

This video is making me smile so big my face actually hurts. Love this so much! My dad was a big hat wearer. Your style is so wonderfully fashionable, vintage, and friendly. 🙌

[@monkeyssocks]

I would love a video on hats like the one you did on vests

[@tylerwisner1898]

Love casual vintage! Put suspender buttons on my Levi's backdating them to the 30s for that working man vibe

[@dandadamo4299]

Very much looking forward to that video on hats.

[@laurenschiller1804]

Oh man, I used to have a newsboy that I got from my grandfather (it was too big for me) and I loved it. I don't remember what happened to it; need to find a good replacement, I lost my pinstriped flatcap that was great but not quite right.

[@FiresideAngel]

Would love casual summer outfits and a hats video: )

[@getaq6508]

Great video! I would love to see the videos on hats and vintage casual style 🙂

[@tnmtemerity]

Love the bow-tie! And you’re certainly a star even if the entire world doesn’t know who you are - yet.

[@DandyWellington]

kind of you to say. Thanks for watching! 😀

[@kents.2866]

I would love a casual/work wear video. Great video

[@pyenygren2299]

I love listening to you. 🤩

[@Doc888]

Would love to hear your breakdown on hats! I’m still trying to figure all that out when I peruse the Electronic Bay for hats

[@susanpolastaples9688]

What about the different vintage sportswear and hats: horse racing, polo, cricket, and baseball?

[@spitfireraf8646]

I got to step up on my hat game man I would like a hat video

[@surfingmoose]

For lettermen style cardigans and such, I recommend Dehen out of Oregon. I have a couple of pieces from them. Pricey but should last you close to a lifetime if cared for.

[@DandyWellington]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@surfingmoose]

@@DandyWellington you can find them easily on many sites for far cheaper, new and used.

[@HikiibatoHada]

Hats! The optical illusions related to how a person looks in a hat are serious business. I'd love to know your thoughts on hats, their standard form and what an unconventional styling of a hat can do for the wearer.

[@fallonduffy2049]

Love all your style videos! would love to see more of your hats!

[@Edhys]

As always, great video that I've learned a lot of new things from. Thank you for continuing to make videos on vintage menswear!

[@NickFinn1985]

Absolutely loved this video. Have a great day Dandy 👍🏻👍🏻

[@vascomanata]

I do love some videos about hats, like the wide black satin sache boater or the classy fawn homburg (😉), but I have to ask you: how are the 1910s and 1920s suit fabrics?

[@DandyWellington]

Thanks for your question! Are you asking about the type of fabrics that were used?

[@vascomanata]

Yes! I would like to know if they were heavy and course or more like the modern ones.

[@peeeceee6275]

I live in Hong Kong and the vintage scene is just burgeoning. In the meantime, I fly to Tokyo at least once a year to get my vintage fix. Have you been there and if so do you have any places to recommend? For me, one of my favorite places is Komehyo in Shinjuku. While they don't carry true vintage sometimes i can find something old school. On my last visit, I picked up a NOS classic A-cut garbardine Burberry DB trench that they don't make any more. Olive, but almost like a Solaro cloth in that depending on where the light hits it it throws off a reddish tint.

[@tarikmehmedika2754]

Wow what amazing content! Thank you for teaching and inspiring us. And what an angels voice you have bro 😊

[@StephanieCanada]

Another fantastic video! You have such great insights, and inspire me to try out my hand a vintage hat (that I make of course).

[@tinydoomslibrary]

Wonderful video! I'd love to know your thoughts on women wearing vintage/retro menswear and any tips and tricks you might recommend, and I'd love to see more from you on hats. I've been wearing a lot of sailor trousers and button downs since the pandemic began, forgoing the more feminine vintage look I've done the past few years, and it's always fun to learn about new styles (especially casual wear; while I'd love to rock a Marlene Dietrich-style tux, I'm not quite sure how to go about it yet).

[@w.baillou]

I love your channel...and you're quite funny, too.

[@samwiseman150]

Hello sir, greetings from Australia. Im a bit late to your channel, but have just watched this video and was inspired to write to you about hats. I too love classic hats. I own fedoras, homburgs, bowlers, a boater (I want more), top hat, flatcaps. My question is about berets - I have a few and love wearing them, but can find little advice on how to do so with classic menswear; do you wear berets, and if so how do you style them?

[@tammiewilson5185]

Loving your channel! Abbey Cox introduced me to your channel. I've subscribed.

[@robo2606]

Great video! 🤠😎

[@4metime]

Where can I find boater hats Thanks

[@Zailen1]

Curious. How do you suggest someone carry a sidearm with vintage dress. I've noticed that since wearing high waisted pants designed more towards 20's style, I don't have belt loops. Thus, I cant wear a holster. Do you suggest a sling or shoulder holster?

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

Why on earth do you need to wear a side arm? Their are many different styles for that, often very vintage looking. You might want to go with a 30/40s detective look with an all leather strap holder.

[@Zailen1]

@@occipitalneuralgia2339 thanks for the tip!

[@melissamybubbles6139]

I'd love a hat video. I'm trying to copy an extant newsboy cap. It's a bit odd, as it has more of the ivy cap shape, but has 6 panels like a newsboy. I only have flannel. Is that thick enough? I plan to use two layers with interfacing. I also have an in-progress beret. It's also flannel, and a bit too flat. Any tips?

[@dapperdan9573]

Your crAzy. you told me to call you that.

[@dannyrodriguez4095]

but how do you style and wear wide-leg, pleated pants if you have big hips and short, short legs? i feel i will look less like a vintage man and more like a sad clown! lmao

[@nilbog972]

The quick zooms are distracting

[@fossil-bit8439]

Ok I’m sorry but the cultural appropriation thing is a dumb argument. So I suppose only Mexicans can open and run a Mexican restaurant or the same for an Asian restaurant?….
