It is rather incredible that a human once made this and had no idea that their creation would last over 200 years, let alone be examined by another tailor for research purposes amongst other things. I guess that must be a tailor's dream.
-
It's great to see how messy the back of the embroidery is, makes me feel better about my own embroidery backs
-
I am unreasonably excited by that selvedge. And the hungry caterpillars. Mine's a Cosmopolitan, barman, and hello to knitted Alex on the windowsill! Cheers!

Happy to see your arm has healed.

My first use of buckram was 60 years ago in the making of 2 damsel (in distress) cone hats for an honors English class assignment. Two male classmates were the damsels, while 2 female classmates were dragons. Instead of fire and swords, I provided water pistols for the epic battle. I love how my parents never questioned my need to dye copious yards of muslin a muddy green for dragon tails. 🐉 🔥 🐉

The harpsichord makes this even better, but it's a teeny bit too loud.
-
I must say, seeing the messy innards of historical pieces makes me feel so much better about my own sewing attempts. That embroidery is gorgeous! Ever since I started cross-stitching, I've been fascinated with the backs of pieces; how neat did the maker try to be, how many of their threads simply trail off into oblivion on the other side of the piece? Makes even the masters seem only human.
-
Who else is excited for button tutorial?? This better happen! I don't want to by plastic ones so this is needed. Also, loved the cocktail making in the end. I don't know what would be period appropriate for the next time, maybe something tea based?
-
"It's YouTube, you know what to do" should be your ending phrase from here out. It suits your cheekiness.
-
I feel like I'm watching a Bob Ross video about tailoring... and I love it!
-
This really makes me think of 'The Tailor of Gloucester' by Beatrix Potter. Such intricate details, I love it.
-
This makes me think of a hybrid of an Abby Cox video and an episode of Bob Ross. Weirdly relaxing. I'm here for it!

13 buttons...one for each Ungrateful Colony

""....is, in fact older than the United States of America, which as we all know...had thier little uprising.....", lol, as a born and bred American, that very particularly Brritish phrase made me giggle! Not in an offended way at all, mind you, and I hope my comment here is equally unoffensive; I just find the national differences of viewpoint quite funny. Ok....now that I commented completely off topic, onto the rest of the actual video.
-
The condition of that waistcoat is so amazing after 200+ years! As for cocktails, how about some historical ones? Negus? Regent's Punch?
-
"When America had their little...uprising." "And here we can see the back of the embroidery....a total mess." "A line of hungry caterpillars" For some reason these little one liners were quite more amusing to me than they probably should be and I nearly snorted coffee out my nose.
-
I am just wondering about... how? How it is in such good condition? Why was it never finished back then? How did you get a hold of it to make this video about it? Absolutely intriguing but I still have so many questions!
-
I adore wearing waistcoats, partly for spinal support, partly because it's useful for keeping my tie 'in' when teaching, nothing worse than setting a tie alight on a bunsen burner! It appears so delicate however, how did our modern ones become strong? Evolution of methods or structure?
-
I jumped up and down when I saw another Pinsent video appear! Loved this so much. I'm looking forward to part two.
-
Not only did I learn a lot, but I giggled all the way through this. I love the occasional silly sarcasm. :-D
