1810s Mens Fashion - Tumblr Posts

I finished making a linen ruffle shirt and silk vest! Plus a better view of my Cossack pants.

The shirt is linen from fabric mart using the same pattern as my other shirt, but this time I added ruffles and shirt-links.

The pants are made out of bedsheets. I’m not ashamed of it. They’re more 1820s/1830s styled so I’m mixing it up a bit, but I think that’s ok because these clothes are not reenacting.

The cravat is from Burnley and Trowbridge and it’s one of my favorites I have now.

The shoes are American Duchess (yes, they’re Victorian style shoes and not regency period. I don’t care because they’re incredibly cool. Pretend they’re spats).

I’ve been very busy this month. Click on the pictures for full resolution.

I got the socks from American Duchess and my cravat is a rayon fabric I made into a cravat. Rayon is a really great substitute when silk is often too expensive, it also wrinkles less.

Summer Ensemble

The jacket is linen with many hand done elements including the buttonholes and pockets. I based it heavily on the extant example at Colonial Williamsburg and another at the Kent museum. I was going to draft it myself But I lost my book so I just altered my tailcoat pattern. It was really cool to make a garment more specific to where I’m from. It can be worn with or without a vest.

The breeches are made with cotton with a slight sheen. I think it’s glazed cotton. The buckles I got from Burnley and Trowbridge and I like them a lot.

Both fabrics and the cravat fabric were acquired second hand.

The straw hat is vintage from roughly 1950s
