Unboxing a Folk Costume Jacket ❃ Vintage Folkloric Haul ❃ Hungarian Rékli

[@Avilhoesa]

Jackets inspired by the Victorian wealthy were also in style in Portugal! We call them “casaca”☺️ They were constructed pretty much like your green treasure! Congrats for the box !! Wait for my tropical mail still this year! 😆♥️

[@PrettyShepherd]

Thank you! I really find it fascinating how elements of city fashion were layered and incorporated into the archaic ❤️

[@carykaradasia4568]

In greece too we call casaca the semi vests. It was traditionnal to wear. My grandma used to make tons for us

[@Avilhoesa]

@@carykaradasia4568 Oh, this is amazing to know!! ♥️ Such beautiful gifts from your granny! My great-great grandmother used to weave and sew linen shirts for her grandsons ☺️

[@readyraito9154]

After studying clothing modeling and sewing, I can tell that it's very normal to leave the sleeves upper sewing "rough" or "unfinished" when we are trying to obtain a natural-looking little "puffing" on the shoulder part, especially if, like you said, we want to save money regarding the sleeves padding for a puffed shoulders look. Also for the sleeves wrists edges, we usually use a different internal fabric so that the wrist parts will deterior slower than what they would, every great artisan manufactured piece of clothing is rigorously hand stitched into the edges of the wrists and often (in jackets especially) also on the bodice edges. Many tailors in my country still attain to these practices. Love your channel! Hugs from Italy ✨

[@daniellecharland-gruhzit1177]

What a work of art the jacket is. You are lots of fun!! Thanks so much!!

[@nimuek3107]

Love that jacket! I have a black boiled wool "Trachten jacke " from Austria that I love to wear in everyday settings, and since it's from probably no older than the 1980s I wear it to do outdoorsy things without feeling too much guilt. Definitely a treasured item that I will use to pattern another if it ever "dies."

[@i.cs.z]

Oh not just "at that time". Some of my older relatives still wear clothes like this in the countryside. And I remember a really old lady who was usually on the same tram as me when I wen't to highschool. She was allways in full folk clothes.

[@cardiodream]

This jacket reminds me of the Japanese lolita goth or punk goth jackets. Highly wearable. I have similar pieces (modern day version, not vintage). Such short jackets are very popular in Asia due to influence of anime and manga. One can mix and match with many things depending on your style. Long dress, hot pants, tutu, riding pants, anything goes. Doesn't have to wear it as a period piece at all. Can even be embellished as a short steam punk jacket. You got a fabulous piece there!

[@sofiaoutandabout]

It's so beautifully crafted! You can really see the love and care that went into it. That jacket was someone's pride and joy!

[@LixiaWinter]

Funny how high-end gown like Worth's could have unfinished seams on the inside, uneven stitching etc, but people in more humble condition would make their garments as neat(and therefore long lasting) as possible

[@Jonny_Black]

I loooove how the lighter green stripes almost look like moss!

[@hotjanuary]

This is way fancier design than modern people’s clothing. Look at that wonderful curved arrangement of buttons!

[@melissamelissa2603]

Yes!, I wear things like this whenever I can! It’s been taking time to collect it but that’s all part of the fun.

[@sinndymorr6358]

A beautiful garment. It's wonderful that you have a PO Box

[@SiriusFeanor]

Ah, I'm so happy your channel exists! And that I'm able to learn about folk clothes. Thank you! And I would definitely wear a jacket like that! Every day! It's so pretty, and flattering, and gorgeous! I'm actually on the search for some kind of vintage jacket to wear with my vintage dresses, as I am not yet at that point in my sewing journey that I can make something like that myself :)

[@ominousblossoms]

Your videos are an oh-so-pleasant respite for me. I enjoy your content very much! It makes me feel happy 🌷

[@owlgirl1998]

The cut of the back of the jacket reminds me of robe à la polonaise and some jackets I've seen from the late 18th century! Its a super flattering and comfy style.

[@eilinorrigby4504]

Such a cute jacket! You are making me wanting to start my historical/folkloric research again! Such a joy seeing your videos!

[@harperculver1666]

Gorgeous! I would definitely wear pieces like that (or remakes) with my daily outfits!🖤🖤🖤👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼🤟🏼

[@noblemily]

This jacket is so beautiful in its crooked handmade stitches.

[@adedow1333]

I absolutely would wear something like this! I may or may not draft a pattern based on all those lovely camera shots! It's gorgeous 😍

[@vintagelife5195]

Good energy on this video. It was fun to watch. Thats a pretty good score. Warm and cozy for cold weather.

[@spinningleila]

Yes I would absolutely wear that jacket.

[@michellecornum5856]

I LOVE this Rekli!!! It really came to life when you put it on! WOW! (glad you're back! Hope you feel better and better every day!)

[@thehistorybounder]

I would totally wear that!! Let's bring back Victorian/folkloric costume elements!!!!!

[@elizabethlovell9997]

It’s gorgeous and I would wear it as much as possible!

[@terricovill8487]

I'm so happy that you wear vintage clothing! And, yes, I love wearing vintage clothing (very carefully and rarely).

[@Hope-un5wv]

I am so delighted that you are looking ever more healthy in your videos. Love the jacket and would love to make one. Thank you for showing it to us. Perhaps a short part of a video on how to develop that impressive cheek knowledge! :)

[@koreboii]

The jacket is adorable but sadly high collars drive me insane so I’d have to make something inspired by it

[@fikanera838]

What a lovely piece, & it fits you so perfectly! I love seeing vintage folk costumes. I spent 2 hours just looking at headpieces in the Zagreb Ethnographic Museum. And yes! I would definitely wear it! ❤

[@thegracklepeck]

That folk jacket looks STUNNING on you! 😍

[@TheKatze90]

Very interesting! The clothing of peasants in 19th and and early 20th century is very nuanced, complex and fascinating: peasants copied rich peoble (because fashion and status), but were always a little bit or clearly late and fashions stuck around much longer on the countryside; rich people romanticised and copied clothing of peasants, which became therefore fashion; peasants took pride in that and dressed in a way, which was considered authentic und traditional; the thought: "This is what we (or the peasants) should look like and this is the right way to wear folk costumes"; the institutionalisation of folk costumes; the fashionable modified folk dresses develope and were often looked down upon; and so forth... And all is intertwined....

[@matanjaburger2872]

Love the jacket an wood where it to. Love wool clothing its warm and stays a long time. Thank you Anna for yoy bubbly personalaty and passion for live and beautiful things. I can relate to that🙏❣🍀😇

[@ninad205]

Can I just say the quality of your videos has improved so much and you seem so much more comfortable in front of the camera since your earlier videos. Thank you for all of the work you put into making content for us :)

[@MsDeepAndDark]

I burst out singing together with you the second I recognised Jefferson Airplane 😂 Would I wear a similar jacket? Hell, yes! I have plans to sew something like it, but with folkloric elements borrowed from kazakh culture as a nod to my mother-in-law)

[@PrettyShepherd]

Sounds amazing! Good luck with it! 🌷

[@katjakuitunen6961]

Oh, I would so like to make a jacket like this! It first didn’t look so special but when you put it on - wow!

[@tanjahorvatserbiaoldslavsh4685]

The jacket is very beautiful and unique.

[@susanlein7849]

I would totally wear it in a regular day!

[@Carmen-nq8ex]

A beautiful jacket! It would go with so many items of clothing. Congratulations on your po box! Mail is such fun!

[@nancymontgomery8897]

I would wear it if I weren't allergic to wool. The old fashioned style is flattering, and green is my favorite color.

[@sallycormier1383]

Look how that jacket looks like it was made for you! I’d love to see you make a modern reproduction of this jacket!!!

[@rebeccacuthbertson1271]

Ughh sad I missed the live stream! Migraines man but oh well. This jacket is really neat!! Wool lace?! And the heart details on the buttons!! Such a cool jacket.

[@babushkawoman]

I have a P.O. box too. I also love it! It feels so nice not having to check all day my home mail, but rather go to postoffice, with large sturdy tote bags at the ready to carry. I would wear today's jacket. Except for how hot it would be. Maybe if outside event in the 30s

[@solpluvia]

The cheek check seemed like magic to me :O

[@fshbulb1]

I'd adore to have a jacket like this and wear it every day! I especially love the little peplum type pleats on the back, just so beautiful ❤️

[@ceruleanskies001]

This was very fun. That jacket was so adorable!

[@Scapeh]

I absolutely adore that jacket! I'm already partial to green colours, but that one just looks stunning on you. I love the earrings you're wearing in your unboxing portion- I think it would be great if you incorporated little snippets about your clothing choices in your videos, especially vintage or special finds. You have such great taste and so many beautiful things I'd love to see up close. Congrats on the PO box! I wont lie, my first instinct was to start planning some Shouty Shepherd embroidery 😂

[@TarunoNafs]

The colour is so beautiful, reminds me of a zosterops bird. If I would wear it - maybe not, it's a bit too fancy for my workplace!

[@RosaHernandez-ct2bx]

I live seeing your videos. I am a 18th century person, ilove this century any everything about it. Thank you for showing us all these costumes I love them all. I also like your beautiful hair

[@TheKatelinn]

I'd wear a jacket like that , absolutely!! ❤️🇧🇻

[@threadsandpurrs]

It's a very pretty jacket. I love the green.

[@magicalaurie]

Hi Anna! I would certainly wear that jacket- very cool! Thank you for letting us have a thorough look at it. I've been wondering lately about whether to leave or remove gathering threads. I generally remove them from sleeves but have left them in bottom ruffles and considered them an extra reinforcement of the gathers. I figured it may be historically accurate to leave them in for that reason. Also, removing the thread- even for re-use- may weaken the thread itself with wear, making it less reliable, so it may be more useful and less wasteful to leave it in, especially from a peasant/workwear perspective, which I tend toward. Thank you for the P.O. box address- I may send you a postcard from Canada! Take care. :)

[@saundrayork767]

Oh! I want one! Thank you for sharing this ♥️

[@sarahbettany7546]

I kind of want to make myself just such a jacket now! I'd absolutely wear it!

I would defenitly wear that jacket, also because is very similar to some jackets worn with my country costum (tracht and dirndl). 😉💕

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

I love watching Your reaction and JOY!! Love the Jacket so much xx The little Peplum at the back is so sweet which is 30's 40's style ...would wear it on special occasions. I am a Witch living in New Zealand and love Witchie Victorian Steampunk and love to mix things up , have been buying clothes from Second hand shops for 45+years , don't really sew but have fun putting things together and decorating them for different Characters (whoever wants to take over on the day ahhahaha )

[@Alicia.Marie.13]

I love it! It is beautiful! Perfect for a snowy day 🥰 If I had a style it would be comfy long skirts (loose fitting) and layered tops. Vintage or homemade!

[@koraliagraikou9393]

I would definitely ware something like this....!! I really like your content and your enthusiasm is out of this world....I I wish you good luck with your channel!! Greetings from Greece

[@ginadelfina5887]

I would definitely wear a jacket like this in day to day life :) My favorite part was the buttons. Even though they are plastic not glass, the design still reminds me of some Czech glass buttons that I once bought for jewelry-making. The style of the jacket itself reminds me of the 1870s or 1880s. Is it possible that the jacket is older than 1930s, but the buttons were replaced in the 1930s?

[@maggiekedves]

I was wondering about the same, if like the daughter or granddaughter of the owner fixed it up with new buttons.

[@elzabets]

I was also thinking this, and that the sleeves may have been shortened slightly at the same time from the shoulder (as the second wearer, needing the darts, may have also been a little more petite in other ways).

[@PrettyShepherd]

It does seem like the buttons are original, and even the dart looks like it was fist sewn before the sleeve was added (there's a bit of dart stitching at the underarm, which has been caught in the arm seam). The thing is, women in Transylvanian villages still wore folk costumes like this *on a daily basis* up until the '70s. So even though the style of the jacket resembles the one that came into fashion through "Victorian"/"Edwardian" figure-hugging jackets, it was, most likely, made decades later.

[@ginadelfina5887]

@@PrettyShepherd So interesting; I didn't realize that the style was retained in village clothing even up to the 70s. Such a beautiful style.

[@jessicagrady5279]

I would absolutely wear a jacket like that! You're inspiring me to research older clothing styles, both from my home state in the US as well as one of the motherlands (Ireland), although that would go back to the early 1700s so would be more difficult!

[@vidoexperience8112]

Very pretty! Thanks for sharing

[@wesleybarrett9502]

The jacket from design and with possible alterations over time would be between late 1920s to 1950s. I am no expert but based on the buttons, the design of the jacket, and that typically rural styles tend to be 15 years behind styling of city styles. If I was a woman or wore femine styles I would wear that jacket. I love the colors.

[@SonyaandSidney]

I would so wear that, though not when it's warm like it is where I am today. 😀

I wore two similar styled jackets made of cotton, one black, one white!! They had peplums in the back, but none of the extra stuff. I got them from a store called Joyce Leslie's. Older NYers know what store I'm talking about.

[@googander9408]

I'm late to the party on this, but was wondering if you knew about casein buttons, apparently they were more popular in Europe than the US. Casein buttons began to appear closer to the turn of the century and might date this garment a little earlier. 😊

[@tanjahorvatserbiaoldslavsh4685]

#Prettyshepherd You thrilled me with this video because you reminded me of my grandmother. She died last month. She was supposed to turn 90 years in May. During Tito's ( Josip Broz Tito ) communist reign, she had money to travel even though she was a middle school teacher. She traveled to - Hungary, Russia, Poland. She was self-taught it came to sewing because her parents were poor. One paycheck. Four daughters. She found a new purpose for old clothes. She was a very creative person.
