My favorite part of all of these restored videos is seeing how much effort everyone put into the clothes they wore in public, no matter how rich or poor.

[@miraj5569]

And the thing is: It's not actually more effort. It's a pair of trousers, a shirt, potentially a waistcoat, a jacket and a hat. That's a perfectly reasonable amount of clothing that most people will still wear today, it's just that the items themselves have changed. And people had fewer clothes, so even less energy went into deciding what to wear. I think we should go back to that: have just a couple of high-quality clothing items that we take care of, that we mend and that we wear until they don't look presentable anymore or we've outgrown them

Possible, but you also have to consider medical science at that time. Before antibiotics a simple leg injury would have been deadly. Loose the leg if you want to live was probably the normal advice given to the average person by doctors.

[@joaquinvianaviana204]

Probably yes.
