Culottes are what those flare-legged shorts are called. It was a 70s craze. Culottes and skorts.

[@vanessaneal6320]

Also called gauchos...circa 1976.

I can only reply here I do not know why I cannot post a comment. That frame and the mirror remind me of antique furniture I have that's over 100 years old. French provincial maybe, but the date of my furniture is 1913. I currently am using the dresser but don't have the mirror attached to it that looks almost just like that, that dark stain color around that time period.

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

“Those are just some old clothes, throw ‘em away” - is what I used to think about these old pieces of fabric or polyester from the ‘70’s and ‘80’s… but as I watched Benjamin dig into the 4 foot pile of clothes and pick out unique pieces and point out different features, my appreciation for these old clothes grew. I realized that these, too, are pieces of our American history - and that saving these pieces is also another form of preservation of the same.

Will he be back for more digging? Who knew, all those years ago when the 3 intrepid adventurers went walkabout that all that was hiding, waiting for you to discover!

[@shellydehart8217]

I have to agree with you Robert. I lived through the 70tys n 80tys n a lot of clothes had polyester n I remember how hot it was to wear them here in Florida. When Benjamin mentioned the collars I thought of John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Those pointed collars. It’s good to see someone learning about vintage clothing n Benjamin having his store. I’m sure there’s plenty more for him to go through. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🐾🐾🐾🐾🐈‍⬛

I have lots of clothes from the 80s. I held on to them hoping I might be able to fit in them again. I'm still waiting😂😂😂

[@dixie3086]

I'm a 70 year old widow and was going thru a coat closet in my home and found my late husbands Lee denim jacket that he had before we were married. Has to be from the mid to late 60's. I gave my son a lot of things to sell as I will no longer be using them. From my biker days! He is still researching the Lee jacket. So far we know it's worth 100's of dollars. Very popular jacket. You never know what is hanging around. I still have some of my vintage clothing from the early 1970's. Don't think I will part with them yet. And my rock band tee shirt collection someday will go to. It number's way over 100. Those aren't going yet either!

[@artillerest43rdva7]

the old denim jackets are cut different , I had one in college, it fit me perfect! then it disappeared, only to find my step brother took it.

[@Catherine-ty8ss]

Have a quilt made for yourself and son out of some of the favorite Tee's. Then make money off the rest!

[@dixie3086]

@@Catherine-ty8ss I already planned on making a quilt out of our Harley Davidson and motorcycle rallies shirts. I have a lot of them to. I just need to get myself started!!

Aloha 🌺 Always a nice time to spend with Benjamin! The wonderful '70's! 🌺🥰

[@dawn-hr8mg]

Such a nice young man and he knows his vintage clothing! Interesting video. Thanks

[@fearlessvic]

Those denim flared shorts, are called gauchos. You'd wear knee high boots with them. Very 70's.

[@barbararoberto1258]

They were nice to where, thanx for the memories

[@lindatanner8726]

I love all the old 70s clothes.

[@robertburns3014]

I was a teenager in the seventies. I wish I had kept some of the clothes I wore to school in those days. There is no way I could get into them today, but I could donate them to a vintage clothing store like your friend has, Robert. They would be fun for someone to wear!

[@marymcguffin9370]

The only thing that I wear that faintly resembles the 70s is boot cut jeans and I'm good with them 😊

[@terrioestreich4007]

Your young guy knows his stuff!

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

Nice to see him being able to save some of these old clothes

[@Linney321]

Amazing how much stuff is in there. It's good the clothing can be reused rather than thrown away.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and working on the old Byrd farm house

[@sandrahunter5749]

I like the old 70's and 80's style clothes 👍

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Those pants that were so wide and shorter than full length were called “culottes” in the 70’s. I loved em then and now! That frame was great!❤️🤗🐝

[@ppurgett]

Longer version of culottes were called gauchos, you wore knee highs with chunky shoes or fashion boots

[@larrysmith6499]

Neat clothes. I remember most of them.

[@SondraD7676]

Treasure Trove!! I can dig it! Very cool stuff and very hot work. Great saves. 👍👍❣ Awesome store, Benjamin! 👏

[@karenwright9123]

Rummaging=searching through a mass untidily. My Mom said this word when I was young and I always liked the sound of it,we liked doing it any chance we got. It's fun to just look and see what can be found. You've made my day. Makes me want to rummage. Rummage sales used to be really popular to raise money for charity,fun fact in the UK they are called jumble sales. So anyway,rummage on,😁 I love it!!

[@Chaedron1]

It has been my experience that popular fashion always comes back around, so it makes sense that things from the 70s and 80s are popular again. I do enjoy these clean-out videos, I watch another channel called " Curiosity Inc." that does hoarder clean outs and you never know what you'll find in a random box somewhere. Which is fun. And seeing the space transform is cool too.

[@rikspector]

I've been watching Alexander and family for years and his clean outs are awesome. Did you see , he's back to doing them since the show contract with the video maker went south. He is free to show us tons of house stuff! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@carolparrott1994]

I really enjoyed the vintage clothing fashion show! Vintage items are a favorite of mine-better to reuse than buy new when possible. I remember some of the late 80’s and 90’s fashions in there! I enjoy your enthusiasm and excitement for all your adventures, no matter what you are doing. It makes me smile to see you, your intern and guests having fun, even in the heat!

[@deestrawser2423]

I had a blue polyester jump suit back in 1973. I was one of my favorite outfits ever. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory!

[@shawnawesome7770]

Oh no! 😊

[@lindaanderson3007]

Looking at the clothes and oh my gosh to hear you all getting so excited over them. Then I see a lot I had, had a few of those button denim skirts. Now I feel like I should be in a museum. Love your videos like taking a stroll down memory lane.

[@christineberry3076]

Curiosity Inc. sells the old clothes to dealers, also!

[@alanmoberly64]

Doesn’t the time line of a functioning house go into the nineties. I am amazed at the amount of pre nineties decades old fashions. Pretty darn cool.

[@cynthiacarter514]

I thoroughly enjoyed the vintage clothing treasure hunt.

[@jeanwhite6693]

Wow, all those vintage clothes, what a time capsule. Robert Wright, is it possible to video tape at Ben's store? Love to see his store. Can't wait to watch you remodel Old Byrd Farm. Thanks 😊

[@marvinjohnson424]

Maybe a movie will be filmed around there and they'll need some clothing. They have done a few on my road and surrounding area and they have a semi truck trailer full of clothes. Good luck to Ben and and keep these cool (no pun intended) videos coming 👍🇺🇸

[@Lorriann63]

Those are cool finds! Most people don't have any idea what they've got, especially when there's multi generational things. Most people will go through a room or house and just see it as junk and haul it out to a dumpster, but I'm glad there are folks who appreciate those older things. This was a great video, Robert. Can't wait to see what you find next.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

what neat finds! the advertising shirts are interesting. you just do not see many of them anymore. the old uniform from Arby’s especially now they are so neat to see and bring up neat memories!

[@helenwenzel7603]

Alot of those old clothes are popular again. Like that pointed collar. Wow

[@paulhoffman6371]

How many little polyesters had to give up their lives for all those clothes? Walking through the house to the back rooms made the rooms you've recovered look so much better. The few months I worked in fast food it was Arby's and those shirts were a reminder -- everyone should work fast food at least once and get it out of their system. An interesting Arby drive-thru story comes from the store I worked on El Camino Real in Mountain View, California. Me: Welcome to Arby's can I have your order? Drive-thru customer recognizing an accent: What part of Iowa are you from? As truth would have it, I grew up in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

[@amilan409]

I coudl watch him dig through the clothes all day .. I'd love to see how they turn out after he cleans them .. I love vintage clothes, more so 50's and 60's

[@rikspector]

Robert, Old mirrors are coated with Mercury , so it's better to replace the mirrors rather than restore them. I took a course in restoration or replacing and there are some new ones that look old because the glass you use it's old flat drawn. It's so good to see the more recent generations cleaning , appreciating and selling the old stuff. Way to go Benjamin!!!! Camera Gal, you are doing a great job, don't let Robert intimidate you lest we have to sic the Other Robert on him:) Just kidding, he is a great person. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@peterrobino9383]

Brings back memories of my lime green jump suie with a white turtle neck shirt underneath. And I can't forget my tan platform shoes. A few years ago I was looking at it and couldn't beleive I wore it out in public, so I donated it to St Vincent De Paul. I think I made a mistake.

[@jefflawrentz1624]

What a fun vlog! The mirror you found with its “harp” dates to the turn of the last century. You can see similar examples in of the old Sears roebuck catalogs. The architectural name for the interior squares around your windows and doors are called a “ bullseye”. I enjoyed seeing the vintage clothes. Very cool!

[@MillerMeteor74]

That's so cool. Glad to see Benjamin taking a pile of clothes from there. He really seems to know a lot about that. That's great. On a different note, I can't figure out how it's possible for there to be so much in that room!

They were called skorts in the 1890s when they were invented for women bikeriders.

What fun! That house just keeps on giving up sweet treasures. That ceiling is kind of strange-! I guess it's a sign of several generations trying to make 'current' upgrades. I hope there's no asbestos involved! I guess it's kind of like lead- ubiquitous before a certain point.

[@carolyncrider8217]

To get the plaster off your picture frame i used to tie a rope to the frame and throw it in the lake by my house. In about an hour take it out and the plaster falls right off. Then you can bleach your bad spots and lightly sand and then stain or clear varnish. I choose oil base to rejuvenate the wood. They are beautiful with mirrors in them.

I'm going to have nightmares about polyester now. As the youngest of 5 girls I had to wear my sisters' hand-me-downs even though they were WAY out of style. I longed for a pair of gauchos. I think I finally got a pair after everyone else had quit wearing them. I never realized until now how much childhood "trauma" can be related to clothing.😂

The sweat is rolling off of you, just from walking to the car ! Only time outside is when we are at the Beach ! Otherwise it MUST be Air conditioned. Any OUTSIDE Maintenance people landscapers ie, wear an Air Condition Suit, so they don’t pass out !

[@alitathomas2711]

My husband worked with paint and thinner at bicycle factory years ago. So I patched his jeans from top to bottom and again. . Once he got his jeans on and shucked them in a fast second. I'd accidentally left a pin in them. As we'd just watched about spiders... It was so funny on how fast he could move. Leta

One of my biggest life regrets is not keeping my "Aunt" Deanie's handmade clothing. I would play dress up and pretend I was Janis Joplin. Aunt Deanie had no idea who Janis Joplin was, but Aunt Deanie wore flare britches with the grooviest patterns. I am also talking dress up in the 90s just bec. I was weird before it was cool to be weird.
