How I Style A NEW "Vintage" Suit

[@DandyWellington]

Which outfit was your favorite?

[@martinfernstrom8077]

They're all really candy sweet, but how you slam that pink - that's just magic right there!

[@teawithbees]

The tie in outfit number two just really pulls everything together! Fantastic!!

[@sinclairethomas8197]

That pink sweater vest outfit was one of my favorites. The one with the yellow squared-off tie was great too!

[@EmilyBHelms]

I like number 3, the yellow tie is such a lovely contrast to the teal.

[@jeannegreeneyes1319]

All SO good, but really liking #2.

[@topofthecircle]

I got a story for you. Back sometime around 1987, my eldest brother came to visit me in Cambridge, Mass. He took me to visit a former colleague of his in Hingham, on the South Shore. The suit his colleague friend was wearing was almost the exact same fabric of the Simon James Cathcart suit demonstrated in the second half of the video. Teal-colored herringbone. And it was custom; I can't remember whether he went to a person in Boston or whether he had it done somewhere else and shipped to him. I just remember how well it fit him, and how a good suit could make a guy look and feel great. I have never forgotten this in my relationship with my tailor, Sallieu.

[@DandyWellington]

Love that story and its true a suit can do wonders! Thanks for watching!

[@aaliyahdailey31]

Me: hasn't really considered building a vintage wardrobe Dandy Wellington puts out a video Me: starts outlining exactly what I need in a dark academia-meets-vintage wardrobe

[@LernTheConjurer]

I just wanted to say Dandy that I recently introduced your videos to my boyfriend who wanted to start dressing more dapper and vintage and he really admires you. Thank you for continually guiding us!

[@DandyWellington]

Thank you for watching!

[@blakesbyhats7352]

Thanks for the shoutout at the very start! 27:13 is timed perfectly!

[@polianarchy]

I love how the teal color shifts from blue to green, from subtle to vibrant, depending on the lighting and the color shirt & accessories you choose

[@FrugalOverFifty]

OMG your singing with your outfit-ting! That made me so happy!

[@LizCapism]

The pink sweater vest with those knickerbockers tho... I might just have to get my Katherine Hepburn game together soon... You're showing us vintage gals up!

[@laurenschiller1804]

Oh yeah, I was definitely thinking that suit wanted a bright pink top paired with it, so happy to see that right off

[@joannaerhardt7294]

The outfit with the flamingo tie is perfection!💖💖

[@brotherneil65]

This is the best video by far that Dandy Wellington has made to my mind.... very engaging... big thank you for the upload..

[@DandyWellington]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@published1789]

I don't think I'll be in a plus four soon, but enjoyed your master class and appreciation of the fabrics so very much. Go, Dandy!

[@DandyWellington]

Thank you so much for watching !!

[@robinhahnsopran]

Naming that tune: that was a Louis Armstrong MOMENT! ✨

[@DandyWellington]

It was indeed!!

[@quazylade90]

I love it! This suit seemed so much like you. Congrats on the addition to your wardrobe. Wishing you many years of enjoyment wearing.

[@kitdubhran2968]

The pink and teal was great. But getting a lot of love. I think I’m going to go with the yellow tie and the boater at the end. The whole middle looks like such a classic stereotypical suit, then you have the boater and the +twos (fours? I now can’t remember what you said it was) which bring it back down a little more casual and just work together so well. Wonderful video! Thank you for talking about the parts of the suit, different features, and the difficulties of those with different bodies. I do not have a little Jamaican back there. But I have a short torso and deep lumbar lordosis. So my body fits like it’s got a little Jamaican back there. And wow is it hard to fit clothes when your torso is less than 1/3 your body height and you’ve got a waist shorter than the width of your hand.

[@brotherneil65]

I love Darcy Clothing and its only 40 miles away from me down in Brighton UK....

[@caoimhenimhuireadhaigh1303]

The pink is simply phenomenal, but I do think the yellow is fabulous against the teal!

[@didierleclair2310]

I love the last outfit. The yellow tie screams "sunny day" and the checkered red and white shirt complimented the tir. It makes the blue within the till suit more pronounced. You've got a great suit!👍🏿

[@stealthiestboy]

Man, how have I not discovered your channel sooner! You look fabulous!

[@mikestorm9578]

Dandy, just wanted to let you know I discovered your channel a few days ago and binge watched like 7 videos so far. You totally ROCK! I freaking love you man. Your style, sense of humor video editing qualities etc... you are doing awesome. TYVM for making all the vids. Looking forward to watching them all

[@TheVelvetLoungeLife]

That new suit👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💙 My fave combo #3 and 2nd was with the pinkish.

[@lokiscoffeerose663]

I can already tell, from this video, that your information for curvy body types in your upcoming video for afab people is going to be super helpful

[@nikkia9506]

It's fantastic with the brighter colours, like the pink, and the single streak of sunshine yellow from the tie.

[@jazzman1626]

What superb quality of materials and that lining material too! I wouldn’t wear a plus four suit but a vintage suit of a different style, made with such quality fabrics, definitely! Subscribed.

[@kents.2866]

Just caching up on your channel. That looks with the plus fours, blue shirt with club collar, tie, jacket and flat cap was amazing.

[@robertdee648]

Wonderful video, Mr. Wellington. You rocked that new suit and I love the way you dress and present yourself. Also, thanks for the list of companies that sell new vintage styled clothing. I love Thomas Farthing and I appreciate the tips for the other two.

[@eriche8870]

Glad to found your channel. Great review, very clear

[@FrugalOverFifty]

I love this suit! And I love the timelessness of menswear. I aspire to a Katharine Hepburn type of menswear-inspired uniform. Right now, though, I live in the tropics, so it's all about the shorts and t-shirts. So I live vicariously through folks like you!

[@Drumlinespartan]

I just stumbled on to this video looking up Darcy Clothing, and oh my goodness, I love your energy. Such a fun person to listen to, keep it up!

[@amiejo]

That teal😍🥰😍🥰, now I want to source some of that fabric to make the American Duchess Cult Cape.... all the looks are swell, but the pink look pops. As another commenter said #cottoncandydandy for sure!

[@Vgladstone1]

love the cap and tie combo

[@aspenbogner4377]

Hello! I was sent here by someone who spoke really highly of you and I can see why. This is lovely.

[@KellyJeanne]

I had to pause the video and walk around after seeing that suit! Whew, stunning.

[@DandyWellington]

She's beautiful right?!

[@MichaelHattem]

Killing those looks with the new suit. The pink/fuschia was especially striking.

[@cottontaelle]

pls update us when you get it tailored!! i’ve never gotten anything tailored and id love to see what they would do to solve this problem :>!

[@ruthwezeman6700]

I wish I had a plus four suit 😍. The one you got is spectacular. Thanks for sharing all those brands. I love how you paired the suit with pink.

[@ReisigSeeds]

That fabric is to DIE for! It’s interesting to me that the trousers fit you so well if the suit was made more for someone who is tall and thin. I thought if there would be a fitting issue, it would be in the toosh. I was surprised that the pants fit and the jacket had issues.

[@jeannegreeneyes1319]

Thank you for another inspiring presentation. Your knowledge and enthusiasm are a joy to receive and OH, ALL THE COLOURS! 😍

[@Mamba0809]

Love all your videos.

[@JRRob3wn]

Good video…I hope you start making more!

[@vascomanata]

2:45 I think you forgot Rjw shirts, nevertheless, amazing video!

[@mollymoon510]

Wow. Such an informative video. Love the look(s) too! Thanks!

[@DandyWellington]

Thank you !!

[@didierleclair2310]

"Gentleman Farmer" suit with a city flair. 👍🏿

[@daltonlove204]

always lovely to see your new videos dandy!! do you have any outfits that you don’t like or outfits you think you could improve on? i think it would make for an interesting video in the future, cheers!

[@mrdesignit145]

I recently bought a suit from Simon James Cathcart, probably one of the best suits I’ve bought!

[@darthbee18]

"Made by the two sisters, Polly and Esther..." 😅😂😂😂😆 Anyway, love the second and third look 😃😏😎✨ (...as someone who thinks that plus fours=Tintin's trousers the second look (plus four+flatcap(...applejack? Forgot the exact name 😅😫🙈)) easily takes the cake for me 😏😆)

[@LoverofHistory]

This was such a great video, thank you for making it! I've been interested in vintage fashion, especially from the 20s and 40s, for so long, but always felt unsure about where to start or like it was too expensive. Your channel has really inspired me to pursue my love for it. I love the suit you chose!! The teal is such a fantastic colour and it's cool to see how well it works with your other clothes. You have such a cool style! I hope you have a good day :)

[@rhondacrosswhite8048]

By spending a little extra money on a quality item, you’ll find that you save money in the long run. Good fabrics and exquisite design will never be out of fashion and will look good on your grand children when you are long gone.

[@DavidCollinsRivera]

Looking good! That's a fabulous suit, I like the more muted blue, because it should allow you to pair it with a wider range of colors. Bright and basic colors both look fabulous with that. Question: Do you color match your accessories with the lining of your garments? With the jacket closed, of course, you don't see anything, but with it open, flashes of inside color can be seen on occasion. Is it worth coordinating with that in mind?

[@rhondacrosswhite8048]

Your new suit is fabulous and you look so handsome in it. I love to see a well-dressed gentleman who appreciates fine fabrics. Are you familiar with Zack Pinsent? His style is earlier than your favoured era but I can see you two gentlemen being fast friends.

[@reneejackson3298]

Exquisite! Quality shows, doesn't it?

[@DandyWellington]

100% there is so much quality in this garment!

[@adamsansom4822]

Looking swell there sir!

[@lynndorney7921]

You have some beautiful suits!

[@timlilly]

Thanks very much. Your video was excellent. Some practice in the mirror and now I've cracked 👍

[@tmagee27]

Are you aware of Chester Cordite, very good for 30s & 40s suits and separates, shirts and the occasional jacket. VERY authentic, ethically made and lasts well!

[@JRRob3wn]

Check out Walker Slater too.

[@haruhideki]

I would gladly save up to buy an outfit and try to wear it. A part of me feels like people would like to get more into wearing what they like if they knew where to buy clothes for it. I think the stores are nice places to get started. I also wanted to know how do you wash and how often do you wash your clothes? Most of my clothes had polyester mixed in with them and I heard that for things like Wool and Linen washing machines and especially dryers aren't recommended and dry cleaners use chemicals to clean clothes and not the best for the environment. Seeing vintage clothes or getting a more expensive item I am a bit hesitant to get them dirty, wearing them, and then being able to wash them and having it made of more natural materials with idea of them being less resistant then polyester. I would like to know if there is a daily or weekly thing that you do to wear them regularly.

[@MisSiszY]

That suit colour is delicious! I would definitely wear it, even as a female 😂. I think the pink vest and pocket square combo was my fave.

[@roseystroup]

You look great!

[@Saint_Medusa]

The jamaican comment had me IN TEARS . My father from bacon Georgian and asking him to do anything cold other than iced tea will get you jumped asap also I'm so happy you got the blue over the rust imo

[@arvmeister9302]

My good....... Such highwaisted knickerbockers....... Amazing...........

[@DandyWellington]

So highwaisted! It's magic

[@Besalu]

What is the website for Cordova caps? are they in the United States?

[@markuswerner4584]

One Question I have: how do you call those Stickers, you put sometimes on your Reverse?

[@TheWoollyBat]

Not me rushing to follow all those brands on instagram

[@Kristina-gz2wu]

Hi, just found your channel today. Its good to see some diversity in this community. The other one I found recently is "Not your mamas history". Now I'd like to find some Latinos who are apart of this community as well. Do you know of any?

[@jimmyjay6497]

It’s coming back! I hope I hope. If the men will be men, we can save the women!! I hope we see De-hofaltion 😂😂 🙏🏾

[@n.b.2164]

Looks comfortable. Gotta give it to people that lived in the early 20th century, they dressed really well. Even poor people dressed better than today's common man.

[@pamelanichols804]

Where do you get your socks ,I have wide feet and thick legs and men's socks fit me better.

[@alexrad9570]

Do you like gurkha pants? 👖❤️💪

[@stealthysam7761]

What’s vintage style not vintage values

[@Methodsaimon]

what it says!

[@stealthysam7761]

@@Methodsaimon what are said vintage values.

[@Methodsaimon]

@@stealthysam7761 well the racism and how we judged by class how people overall were treated if they lacked certain things it wasnt all that great back than! but the clothing yeah the clothing was indeed great!

[@Methodsaimon]

everything was expected a certian way for example if a women wanted to work in construction that was seen as absurd even tho why not she could become a great carpenter!

[@stealthysam7761]

Ok thank you for clearing this up for me.
