Thank you for posting some men's clothing link. It's refreshing to know that you ladies are looking out for the gentlemen as well.

Wonderful Cosmo! I just thought it would be great to have a collection of extent images all settled on one easy-access page. I ran out of steam after the ladies gowns. They've got lots of children's items too, though I admit to not running through the dates on the children's clothing. I’m so glad you jumped in and took it into the men’s clothing!  |

I started the children's clothing list but was too tired to post everything. I am right on top of that.

Again, thank you for winnowing through the sit to find these. There is so much more on women's clothes than on men's on the internet as a whole that I'm extremely grateful when someone compiles a list like this.
(I'm also noticing that I think the shoulders of my waistcoats are wrong. I'll have to modify my pattern the next time I use it.)

Your costumes are beautiful and well done, Giancomo. That top hat is very impressive.

Very well done, indeed. Are you a professional tailor? The photos are very professionally done, just like the clothing. Were you one of the models?

Thank you very much Val and Mrs. Parker for your generous comments. And Mrs. Parker I must tell you im not a taylor... i dont sew a button i must confess... and eventhough i didnt study history either i have a lot of interst on it, specially in history of clothing. In that sense i am always trying to obtain new books and information from the period i decide to develop as to reach the maximum posible level of historical rigor on each garment (colours, materials and techniques) which has led me to be present during all of the production process... specially tayloring! Those are the reasons why i am so exited by discovering this website and writing to those of my species.
The photographer is a friend of mine and i am wearing the blue tailcoat.

I hope the mistakes i commited dont bother you as much as they bother me! lol Giacomo, I am so sorry to have to ask, but if you would be so kind as to move this link to a new thread it would be much appreciated. This thread is to be restrained to images of extant mens garments and not reproductions, though your examples are quite fine. Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation. |

Hi Giacomo,
Those are some very nice looking clothes. I am curious though, the waistline seems quite a bit lower than the fashions of the US and England in the 1810s and 1820s. The front cut of the coat, the length of the vest, and waistband of the trousers are a few inches lower. I particularly like the use of the stripes, it really sets out the suit as a whole. I've never been quite that daring, but after seeing your pictures, I may give it try one of these days. And I agree with Val, that's some top hat.

Dear Cosmo,
I have no problem in moving the link as you suggest, but i dont know how to do so. Should the Administrator edit or redirect it? Please let me know.
Mr Major,
Indeed, after watching again the pictures the waistline looks lower than the fashions of the period, thats probably beacuse all the suits were made to my size and the other models have very differnt heigths.

Dear Cosmo, I have no problem in moving the link as you suggest, but i dont know how to do so. Should the Administrator edit or redirect it? Please let me know. I'll be glad to copy it for you. I just wanted to give you the option of starting a thread your self. I'll be deleting these posts tomorrow in case anyone needs them for any reason. |
