【傳統服飾】19世紀初貴族男裝穿戴過程

Dressing up a Regency gentleman by prior attire Today we're looking at a gent's attire from around 1810 to 1815 We're by guest speaker Let us have a look at what a country gent might be wearing under his coat We're starting with a banyan Under which a linen shirt and linen underbreaches are worn Banyans were worn indoors for comfort and style Cotton stockings with garters are already on These layers would be changed and washed frequently The shirt closes with buttons at the neck The ruffles at the neck and cuffs were usually made in much finer linen or cotton Next, breeches These are made in leather, ideal for riding in the countryside In town or for more formal occasions, wool or silk breeches will do nicely These are the forefront variety, closing with buttons and with ties at the back for fit The legs also close with buttons and ties They could be lined or unlined And if lined, then often underbreaches would be skipped Well, the long shirt would be tucked around instead And to make sure they stay on when galloping around the country lanes, braces A relative newcomer to fashion, but one that will stay for quite a while And yet another way for a dandy to display his fine taste The buttons are fiddly, as a baller is not the only one who struggles with them Almost there Just the flap now Close-up time What's this? Oh, I missed a button Help is at hand Just one hand Fiddly Done! As if by magic More buttons to do And as if by magic, done! But this is not the end of my button woes The stock is next A silk or fine linen gathered and attached to a band And it buttons too Once done, the ruffles are out And the neck ruffles are pinned shut too That is, if you remember to pin them Waistcoat is our next layer This one is made in wool and linen Perfect fibres to keep your body at a comfortable temperature And more buttons, of course Fortunately, not too many These are metal buttons But covered buttons worked with cloth or thread were also in use Although far less decorative than those in the previous century My fob! I'll get it in a sec Boots first Leather riding boots with tops Great for riding Comfy enough to walk around the countryside In town and for formal engagements Shoes were worn instead Because every dandy needs jingling trinkets Attached to his watch chain and hanging around his hips Or better still, several A coat for riding out Made in super fine wool lined with cotton It is almost entirely waterproof And the layered pelerins help to that effect too Just a hat and a walking cane If no riding is on the books today And he's all ready Well, plus the gloves Dashing But today it is not raining So a short tailcoat will do instead Just as dashing and waterproof But not quite as warm Shoot your cuffs Get everything in place And showing off the fob to best advantage too Split Double breasted So a few more buttons to fiddle with Nearly there Thank you for watching
