STEM and Dark Academia? - Outfit ideas for distinguished gentlemen

[@ginorossi5124]

It delights me to say that until this very moment, I had never heard of Dark Academia before; It certainly amazes me greatly how everytime I watch a new video by Vintagebursche I get to learn something new about style, tailoring and history. Well done Sir, as a university student, I greatly appreciate your interpretation of different departments, and I can perfectly see a partial reflection of myself in the portrayal of the ideal literature scholar (although far from being ideal in my case). Keep it up with your channel, einwandfrei wie immer!

[@timefortea1931]

Nor me. This gentleman is very informative and his videos are very well produced!

[@bernadettebanner]

YESS the professor aspect of Dark Academia is the best, in my own biased opinion. 😁 When I tell you I have probably never clicked a video so fast..

[@Boselaphus]

you rock

[@jeffreytrent552]

Omg! One incredible KZbin producer who always inspires me, Ms. Bernadette Banner, watching the KZbin channel of another another KZbin creator who never fails to inspire me! I am in awe of present company!

[@madelinegutierrez1720]

I liked it when the tailor in another period referred to it as "Ivy" as an aesthetic

[@isaacwalters5061]

As a tweed wearing history teacher/educator... I concur!

[@johannageisel5390]

We all know you're secretly a librarian in 1902, Bernadette.

[@elizabethw.6154]

I remember catching one of your old Livestreams, and immediately thought of your style as "German philosophy professor"... And it's come around again. Lol!

[@EricHrahsel]

True . Me too

[@timefortea1931]

Could you imagine attending a history lecture in an historic wood panelled lecture room and this gentleman walking in to give the lecture! How cool that'd be.

[@UhmActually.]

THIS CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED

[@matthodek]

This has been one of my pandemic goals... I'm am a research scientist in a university electrical engineering department, and I have been slowly moving my wardrobe in this direction. Most comfortable in dark and earth tones, yes. Prefer to have a more refined look in public, yes. Love learning about the history of everything, yes. Disgusted by academic snobbery, yup. Social awkwardness, absolutely. Writing a book, does my PhD thesis count? However, thus far my lack of tweed is disturbing...

[@firstguy2859]

Yes, it counts, it counts so very much.

[@habituscraeftig]

This video is absolutely perfect in every way. I love the shift from student to mature professor. As someone in the early stages of building a "light academia" wardrobe (elevator pitch: "if Aziraphale from Good Omens was a 17th century lady, but still wore trousers"), the emphasis on older styles is much appreciated. I love to see your take on this! I wonder what your archaeology professor would look like! If I had one niggling nit to pick, it is that Greek men do not wear togas - at least in the period of their own dominion. Togas are Roman and a mark specifically of Roman citizenship.

[@Vintagebursche]

Duly noted the toga issue

[@johannageisel5390]

They wore chitons, didn't they?

[@DeadNotSleeping789]

I know this comment is a year old, but have you seen Nicole Rudolph's Victorian Aziraphale cosplay?

[@habituscraeftig]

@@DeadNotSleeping789 Yes!! 😍

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

Reading a book about the scientists working on the physics and chemistry of the atomic bomb (from 1900-1930s), this is the clothing style I imagine Bohr, Heisenberg and Pauli to have worn when they became proffesors! It's great how the video now gives substantial images to the imagination!

[@matgalvao]

hey, can you tell me the book's title?

[@archervine8064]

I really love this. When it comes to aesthetics, it seems like sometimes people can fall into cliches and copying, especially if they aren’t super-confident about their personal style yet (Definitely been there myself, so no shade) . This was a great example of taking the theme/idea and adapting it for oneself.

[@burgerkingisslay]

Steampunk/dark academia/Edwardian work clothes and "everyday" 3 piece suits are my favorite. Kind of spooky, very elegant, but not too delicate.

[@pulliss]

Me, history bounder and an actual physics researcher during normal working day at the lab: fishtail trousers, button up shirt and maybe waistcoat if it's cold outside.

[@Dawn-bl8ze]

The engineering outfit - (but really all the outfits) if I saw you in the street I would frankly, gasp, and go back home and wonder if I met the ghost of my dreams. You are the king of men’s fashion to me!

[@davidlove236]

Beautifully shot and scripted video! The outfits are great, too, but the cinematography was superb, and someone needs to mention it. Wonderful video!

[@Feelicitasy]

what a wonderful surprise on a cloudy, misty morning. Looking impeccable as always!

[@_-Species-_]

I don’t know how much time I heard “I wish I was in that era of history, so I could dress like them” I always respond “Who said you have to be in that era to dress like that ?” They always look at me weirdly, personally I am someone who dress like a pirate, I try being the most historically accurate in my outfits.

[@ドゥハ-x1q]

I agree with you tbh and I don't find you weird at all, i love how you think🤍

[@ptolemy2222]

Not to mention, most people born in that era didn't dress like that on a daily basis. Even their Sunday clothes probably did not look this well tailored. My grandfather was born in 1920, he was a factory worker, his father and grandfather were miners. The very few pictures I have of them aren't as stylish as what people picture when they think Victorian or Edwardian era.

[@AmericanImperialMenswear]

​@@ptolemy2222 Because they were factory workers and miners, whereas any middle class professional in the 1920s would have dressed as VB does.

[@LMK-wf6fv]

Why do I think you are joking?😂

[@chrisblanc663]

To be fair. I don’t think they are looking at you weirdly because of what you say if you dress accurately like a pirate. Good on you for dressing how you want to!

[@themoderndandy713]

These videos are getting more and more high-production every post. At this point, it feels less like a one thousand subscriber channel and more like a big time music video or something. As a note, I like the break on your trousers. I much prefer little to no break. I find trousers that are a bit short far superior to too long.

[@astitchatatime8195]

Hell yeah! As a mechatronics student I always miss any engineering aspects in dark academia despite loving the general aesthetic. Love to see it represented!

[@venteuse]

As #teambiology I feel you! Seeing our sciences represented in DA is wonderful to see

[@lilalicat32]

A great POV of dark academia. I really enjoyed this video and would love a resurgence of the suit in everyday life. So elegant.

[@briand.8271]

thanks for this! im a cybersecurity major and have fallen IN LOVE with this style recently, especially because it’s surprisingly easy to thrift (especially in a big city like mine.) can’t wait to out these concepts together and keep curating my own style!

[@TramNguyen-yb3rh]

Amazing video ! Dark Academia and vintage meanswear have always been two of my favorite things! Thank you again for a wonderful video. Greetings from France !

[@corasgrove3474]

The cinematography in this is gorgeous! And the love the waistcoat at the start with V shaped buttons.

[@lawrencebell5716]

Brilliant!. Although too old to carry off the regular student-ey dark academia aesthetic I still love it, and so have also chosen the professor take on this, together with my love of the 1890s-1940s era, this exactly fits my vibe, thank you for posting this 😀😀😀.

[@BigV24]

Loved the math professor outfit. The texture of your suit adds so much in a subtle manner and I love the weight that it gives to the outfit. Your taste in shoes is on point as always. I would say that look wouldn't be too out of place if you were to wear that around today. The glasses were a perfect compliment. Bravo.

[@canucknancy4257]

It was so much fun to guess which department you were dressing for. Thanks so much 'professor' for giving us a look at DA for us of a less student age. Take care.

[@LiljaHusmo]

I love the textures of all of these looks, you truly hit the nail on the head with this DA Professor look! The waistcoat with the buttons in a V shape is amazing too!

[@hiteshahir2671]

I am a civil engineering professor but I never tried any classic attire like these. I am looking for try it one day like a German or a british academician. Proper attire fulls you with confidence. Thank you for inspiration.

[@fiesehexe8133]

What a beautifully crafted video! Just found you via Bernadette Banner‘s new video, and already in love (with that gorgeous First waiscoat with the buttons that line up to a V)

[@CrownMooseCostumes]

I love the concept for this video. The aesthetic is simply incredible. Well done!

[@VBirchwood]

Ahh this is such a wonderful video! I love the combination of philosophical topics and historical aesthetics. Great work!

[@danone2414]

the cinematics... I am totally Invested!

[@DJHASDIMONDS]

Songs 1: Omur Hanim by Ayhan Yalcin (this one isn't showing up on youtube music, looks like apple music has it however) 2: Midnight Vals by Adrian Berenguer 3: Withdraw by Borrtex

[@annadushenkina3512]

Ooo! I never looked into what Dark Academia is before, but now I might... and this steampunk professor take is really cool!

[@venem1837]

Ich hatte vor diesem Video noch nie von "dark academia" gehört und bin zu dem Entschluss gekommen, dass diese Stilrichtung genau zu mir passt. Vielen Dank dafür. Zusätzlich verpackt in ein Video, welches einen dahin schwelgen lässt musikalisch sowie filmtechnisch einfach großartig.

[@rootbeef]

Found this through your post on reddit, I'm happy to be a new subscriber!

[@Aluenvey]

In fact Ive written nine books. Although mostly ( until very recently ) science fiction. What I found interesting was I became familiar with Dark Academia after my stuff shifted more into a magical realistic direction with elements of Gothic Fiction. As a graphic designer I gravitate to muted reds, nordic greens, coffee colors, and off monochrome palette.

[@alifelikevera]

Love your interpretation, dapper as per.

[@raevynwoods9403]

I love how you presented every outfit in a different setting! I hope to make a vintage men's suit soon, and you are giving me a lot of good inspiration and ideas.

[@aguedapelazlorenzo2815]

This was a really well-made and enjoyable video! And it is so hard to come by STEM Dark Academia, so I really apprecate it. Thank you!

[@samnation9887]

Such a Masterpiece of a video put together, everything was perfect. All the angels, close ups of the environment and perfect matched with all your outfits. Loved it , brilliant and genius. I enjoy all your videos so far. New to your channel.

[@jackiejames4551]

Wonderful video. I even recognized some of the places where you filmed. Loved all your wardrobe choices, especially the math professer. A Beautiful Mind is also one of my favourite movies.

[@melanierippon7884]

Oh. My. God. The TWEED! 🥰 Also I now have satchel envy. 😂 And a bonus clip of Castle Neuschwanstein, bringing back fond memories of a trip I took years ago. Thank you for taking the time to craft such an audiovisual feast.

[@violetlife7607]

Me on my way over from Bernadette ready to be taught by a fashionably dressed professor: 🏃🏻‍♀️✨

[@TorchwoodPandP]

I’m totally in love with the V-buttoned waistcoat. What’s inside is not half bad either. Merry Christmas.

[@lindsaycampbell8318]

As a music/theater teacher with a minor in German who sews vintage style clothing in my free time, this is the perfect blend of everything I love. Thank you for a beautiful video.

[@bast713]

Thank you for sharing not only your fantastic styles, but also the awesome locations. This was so well done.

[@drdavidm.g.waterhouse7790]

I'd never heard of 'Dark Academia' before. I liked this short film (being an academic myself). Not sure you'll get far in academia reading those mirror-image books though!

[@Vintagebursche]

😁

[@ashte2980]

Wonderful, hitting me right in the aesthetic

[@ritad673]

So wonderful to have found you, introduced by Bernadette!

[@natta3823]

I love how everything used to be so formal, and look at us now its actually quite sad

[@sabrinazeddies8654]

Wow. Beautiful video but more importantly, you own your style and that shows! You are so confident and at ease wearing these outfits. Very inspiring. Any chance for a winter outfits video? How to dress classic and vintage inspired when it is rainy and muddy outside and not break out the outdoor jackets? I am German myself and each year I get so frustrated at the Weihnachtsmarkt when everyone around me is dressed like they want to head into the mountains right away.

[@sandroselladore3506]

tie trinkets!!! i adore all of these but especially the math

[@margharetify]

Love the mention of Imitation Game costumes

[@greata80]

This is, like, the best video to have ever graced the internet Amazing

[@freddecker2407]

Vintagebursche videos are so beautiful -- visually and sonically! Great job!

[@jessandthepast]

A wonderful look book! If only my Geography professors would have dressed that way! I fully intend on making a victorian hiking kit at some point to be the stylish geomorphology professor that I like to pretend to be.

[@four1629]

this video is so expertly put together, i love it. it's so gorgeous in concept and in execution

[@Sayu277]

loved this^^. Also Kudos for filming the engineering part at Phantasialand.

[@sorenwallin2535]

This is one of the most thought-thru stylish vids I’ve come across 👌👌👌 Sheer beauty, harmonius balance between filming, outfits & backdrops. Thank you for this masterpiece 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@benjaminforman1616]

A great video idea; a way to calm a know it all attitude, and admit that your wrong, its a issue I have and it frustrates me.

[@muurisepp]

Thank you for the episode and for the channel. I like your calm style and always try to keep in balance my exposure to you and GG.

[@dsifriend]

I'm pretty sure you unintentionally did a perfect David Hilbert cosplay. Good job.

[@neilmckenna5991]

None of my history tutors at university were quite so stylish (or good looking) as your good self. Had some of them been then I would have been enthralled by their lectures even more

[@squirrelsongs]

I came from Bernadette's video with that entertaining roast of the Peaky Blinders costume! And I've got to say I'm already loving it here. 💕

[@timefortea1931]

You look exactly like an Edwardian man! I couldn't imagine you in 21st century clothing. This era is totally you. I love your channel.

[@marietolstoi3105]

Amazing pieces of clothing and amazing aesthetic 🤩

[@roseebud]

I'm a woman. I wish more men were like you. Smart, mature, and with great style. You are a true gentleman👏

[@beagoodhuman44]

Absolute perfection✨

[@josephmillraney1061]

Absolutely the best video you've made. Ausgezeichnet!

[@ChemFreak89]

I really like your take on dark academia! And i love your beard, i think it suits you very well. In combination with the different glasses and hats it works great for the "serious professor" look. I think i like the biology-prof best, but math is a close second place :)

[@olive-f7n]

Wow, gerade ein Video von vor einem Jahr geschaut und jetzt dieses hier. Dein Englisch ... Uff was für eine Verbesserung 😍

[@joaomarcelo__]

At this the week waiting some video of this channel... Thanks again!

[@SproingusBoingus]

I just learned about your channel and I’m so happy I did! Wonderful content. 😊

[@susanneroepke3836]

Guten Tag, ich lese gerade die "Glasbücher der Traumfresser" und habe mich schon immer gern so gekleidet, dass "Leute" deswegen die Augenbrauen hochgezogen haben. Lebe in einer spießigen Ecke von Berlin (Wohnung ist preiswert, deshalb) und bewundere den Mut von Menschen, die sich ungewöhnlich kleiden. Ich habe das hier eben erst entdeckt und bin ziemlich begeistert. In meiner Jugend (bin jetzt 65) habe ich mich angezogen wie die Muse (gottloses Modell) von Egon Schiele, damals gab es in den Second Hand Läden in Berlin noch echte Jahrhundertwenden-Schnäppchen. Es macht einfach Spaß zu entdecken, dass auch die nächste Generation Spaß an schöner Vintage-Kleidung hat! Sorry für den deutschen Kommentar, mein Englisch ist nicht eben vortrefflich und ich wollte mich nicht blamieren.

[@daviddragan610]

Hi there! I'm a 19yo computing University student in London and I've long been in love with the dark aesthetics of the victorian, renaissance, even antiquity eras, and especially with fusing such put together aesthetics with the rebelliousness and countrrculture of the 60s and 70s. Perhaps I.T. gets a bad reputation style wise? I have to admit I get confused for a professor at my university, though the long hair kind of throws it off. Your channel is a welcome discovery and an exciting rabbit hole!

[@221bornot2b]

Loved, “on the internet, it is usually portrayed as students but…I have a beard.”

[@tabbycatcreates]

That knitted sweater vest 🙌

[@Javi_C]

Perfect for a Saturday morning.

[@dravidiangentleman]

Wow, such great work sir, and your outfits are classy and fabulous

[@ElizeNou]

Beautiful video!! I’ve always been interested in menswear and the tailoring of it all

[@JohnEdwardGammell]

While not the norm, beards did in fact fit into both the Edwardian and 1920's periods. Both King Edward VII (the namesake of the "Edwardian" period himself) wore a beard, as did his successor, George V. Thinly trimmed beards were still relatively common pre WWI (e.g., as seen by Harry Selfridge), and while almost a black swan post-WWI, there are still primary examples such as one of the extras in the 1926 film "Underworld" (the prototype for Scarface in 1933) during the carnival scene- which is strange specifically for showing a relatively young man wearing a beard.

[@Isa-tn7ex]

I’m a mathematics major. I hope to be a professor one day. This lights me up.

[@Boselaphus]

I always wanted to have something like this, I want to be a history professor after I retire, well that is far future, I have not even completed my school but this is really what I wanted to portray many professors in different fields like this, I could not pin point what they would in my head but you have spoken and worn my imaginations, bravii.

[@sinvector8020]

The Engineering Professor gets all of my love, because I'm a Steampunk :)

[@joshmiller7777]

Wonderfully edited and put together, this video is a masterpiece 😊. Brilliant engineer segment, much appreciated by an engineer like myself. Also, I enjoyed The Theory Of Everything so much too!

[@ChantalTello]

I came here from Bernadette's channel after loving how articulate you were while tastefully roasting the Peaky Blinders costume and loved this video! Your videography definitely convinced me to subscribe😄 Can't wait to see more of you in the future!

[@EricHrahsel]

I love this one. Make more DA videos pls. I am 25 too and too old for DA but you give me inspiration

[@petreagabriel7508]

absolutely stunning!

[@johnwatson9879]

I'm obsessed with this video in every way possible. I would have loved to see medicine portraid tho 🥺

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Brazil!

[@Teverell]

I know this is an older video but engineering and Edwardian Dark Academia? Yes of course they're compatible... You had some great engineers in the Victorian era and technology didn't stop after 1901. (Also consider the technology of steampunk even if that's not incorporated into actual clothing/accessories). And I love the laptop bag! A perfect way for an Edwardian professor to carry his modern technology around!

[@gilbertorangel4127]

I liked this video; it was fun to watch! Good work fellow!

[@johannahayhtio8608]

Hi! New subscriber here, found you through Bernadette Banners channel and I am so glad I did, great videos and I really love your style. Greetings from Finland, Johanna

[@MEKKANNOID]

This could be your best vieo yet! I have two questions: Where did you buy the Maths Professor's suit, and what is the music which starts with the Engineering Professor? I am sudying engineering, and I definitely think that it is compatible with dark academia. Paricularly steam railways, early electrical equipment, early cinematic equipment, anything clockwork etc.

[@astitchatatime8195]

And all the maddening calculations and a desk full of electrical wiring that may or may not be connected to something 🤣

[@meeeka]

The music is so Viennese.

[@Narrlina]

As a student I can comfortably say that my life would be significantly better if my professors dressed like this - looking at you, Softshell-Jacket-Guy.

[@ritad673]

This video is superbly perfect in every respect.

[@EstelonAgarwaen]

The condensor mic Wikipedia part was oddly relatable

[@meihwadeclerk3147]

[@Mrglasshalfempty]

This was absolutely beautiful!

[@brucetidwell7715]

An excellent video in truly every possible way!

[@e.s.r5809]

Finally someone's forging the path! I'm subscribed! The lit students don't know what they're missing until they sit down with a battered copy of Kasap, a pot of tea, and have their minds blown about semiconductors. (And show me a book title more Victorian than "Calculus Made Easy: Being a Very-Simplest Introduction to Those Beautiful Methods of Reckoning Which Are Generally Called by the Terrifying Names of the Differential Calculus and the Integral Calculus, by Silvanus Phillips Thompson, F. R. S."... and I will eat my copy. That's not a legally binding promise though, because the book is very useful.)
