Winter is definitely here for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and wearing historical clothing daily means I need to be quite deliberate about how I layer my garments. It's taken me a few years to really solidify how to dress historically for winter weather. In this video, I show you two of my go-to historical fashion winter looks layer-by-layer - a Victorian working-class ensemble as well as my Volga Tatar fashion, as well as offer some tips for how to stay warm in winter wearing historical clothing (some of which can also be applied to modern clothing).

People would use coal to heat a room not the entire house. Also they used quilts. Wood is fine if you have a decent setup. My grandparents all used wood. We have millions of acres of dead pine forests waiting for a fire here in Utah. It’s going to burn. But yes I totally agree good textiles are worth buying. I buy carhart simply cause they last an extra year longer. Cowboy boots if you spend $250 or up for actual solid leather or leather with replaceable plastic bottoms they can last two to five years and just get them resoled. I don’t think most people can repurpose clothes except maybe rags but you could use them tk make soap I read the pioneers did that.

@picklefan58 4 месяца назад

I love your Volga Tatar gear! It's very cool to see more ethnicity-specific and working class historical fashion content. Where I live, -35 C isn't unusual in the winter. I've been able to stay incredibly warm in a vintage wool jacket with a big coyote fur collar, plus a sweater or two underneath. I haven't found any modern winter jackets (in my price range at least) that are as comfortable or warm. I also have a pair of Canadian army surplus wool pants from the 50's that are great for winter activities. I've also come to really appreciate fur as a material. It's beautiful to look at and beautiful to touch, very warm, and will not shed microplastics. It connects me to the wilderness. I only own vintage fur, but I have a lot of respect for trappers with humane and sustainable practices and I hope their industry gets more recognition.

That one piece of clothing has single handedly been responsible for me being able to keep the heating down by two degrees (Celsius) compared to the last couple of years.

It baffles me, that sontag shawls didn't stick around longer. They are so practical and cosy.

I am an Italian American Hetero man 66 years old and like older period cloths rather than modern. When I am outdoors hiking & camping or just about, I incorporate late 1800's & early 1900'S cloth's with my modern clothing. Coats, waist coats and the collarless loose fitting shirts. When I go out for an overnight hike/camp I also go with old school gear like canvas/wool blanket bedroll, canvas Haversacks and Oilskin Tarps for shelter. No modern light weight gear. In the house I wear ancient Roman Tunics in winter and summer to pay homage to my culture and it is comfortable and looks cool. It is a shame more people do not wear old school ethnic clothing more often. I recently bought 2 Roman Wool Tunics for my wife and I and she loves it. You should do videos on Mens Vintage clothing.

Just found your channel and I really love your individual Tartar/Victorian style. Super cute. As a Muslim I'm always looking for ways to keep warm in winter while wearing skirts, and keep cool in summer too, as I live in the northern hemisphere and the traditional "Islamic" garb isn't suited for northern climes. When I say "traditional" I mean modern traditional which is always thin synthetics nowadays. So over recent years I've started wearing a more vintage style as I reasoned it's best to take inspiration from how women used to live in long skirts back in the day. I wish I could sew my own clothes, it's been an ambition for a long time, but situation and circumstances have prevented it, so I try to find what I can to wear. I've been coping in winter by wearing 90% cotton leggings, wool legwarmers, two layers of cotton summer skirts as petticoats, or a cotton skirt and wool skirt (which I found cheap on eBay) as petticoats, then my usual unfortunately synthetic skirt or dress on top. Sometimes I can find a fabric mix outer dress with cotton but it's hard to find natural materials. Your shawl you wear on your head is similar to a hijab, with your tartar hat on top looks so pretty! I'd love if you could do a video like this for how you survive summer too. I struggle to maintain modesty in summer as layers feel too hot, but a single thin dress + summer breeze = reveals everything.

@EmL-kg5gn 4 месяца назад

Clothes that cover the whole body are the best for the heat as long as they’re made right! Loose fitted garments that create airflow help keep the body cool, but choosing the right fabric is necessary too. If you google search Bedouin clothing experiment you should be able to find out about the test that was done! Their clothes are so effective at cooling that the colour makes no difference, their black robes are just as cool as their white ones. I find that the shape of skirts makes a difference in the wind. Circle skirts are the worst! And I’ve always imagined that there must a way to make skirts heavier at the bottom so they don’t fly up? I’ve never tried it though. Maybe instead of using cording and things like that to add support to a top it could be used to weigh down the bottom of a skirt? I imagine you could make a channel around the hem and put something heavy in somehow. Maybe if you experiment you’ll figure something out! Even if you can’t sew your clothes modifying them might still be possible? There’s no-sew options that might make it easier for you! I don’t think you can make a whole garment with those techniques but you can definitely modify them. Good luck! I’m not a Muslim but I know it’s difficult when the clothes available to you don’t suit your needs 💕

@davyd28 2 месяца назад

@@EmL-kg5gn Your instinct is correct - cording was used in 19th C dress hems to help keep the shape; a wool braid that covered the hem to protect it from wear also added weight. Additionally, small metal weights were sewn in to weigh down the fabric - like they sometimes do with modern curtains.

It is currently 0°F where I live in Minnesota, which is equal to about -18°C if you round to the nearest whole number. I have been wearing dresses full time since I was in my 20's, but have found that I freeze every winter in Minnesota. I recently started experimenting with floor length dresses, even though they are not in the Victorian style. I want to layer underneath. I have two Edwardian chemises that I made. I have a couple of long petticoats and one cotton flannel petticoat that I recently bought. It is about floor length. I have one pair of cotton split crotch french knickers, but I don't wear them often. My husband doesn't like them. I mostly wear modern cotton/Spandex knickers instead. I also use modern neutral coloured leggings underneath my dresses or stockings and bloomers. Unfortunately, I need more bloomers and I don't have a pattern that fits me well. I would like to eventually transition to a more Victorian/Edwardian wardrobe in winter, but my sewing is no where near as good as yours. I am impossibly slow at it and I always seem to find that I don't have time. I have an Edwardian skirt partially cut out, but I can't seem to find the time to finish it. I want the skirt. It will keep me warm in the winter because it will be a lined wool skirt that goes to the top of my shoes.

please be aware that you heavily risk mold in your home with these inside temperatures and you (and maybe other people) creating condensation by breath. you don’t have to heat it up super snuggly, but a minimum of 16 °C is recommended to prevent mold.

@@alessazoe - I live in a SUPER dry climate in Bulgaria. Its that dry here that ice and snow from last week has EVAPORATED. Its not melted it turns directly from solid into gas. Im British, I totally understand mould, but no, here I can literally dry fruit on the counter. When I first moved here I had to have wet towels all around the house to get the humidity up to near British levels.

@@piccalillipit9211 As a Bulgarian, I'm surprised that a British person is living here, but I can understand why you can allow yourself to keep the temperature at 13°C, especially if you live near Plovdiv, where I'm from.

Hi, I truly enjoyed your video. I am absolutely intrigued that you "hand sew" all of your clothing! Honestly in my life I have also hand sewn much more than I've ever used a machine! I love how you keep your video moving. I don't have much time to watch very long videos. I've subscribed.

@marthascargill5234 3 месяца назад

what a wonderful video, thanks so much for your clear labelling of many of the pieces too. I have always been interested in tatar textile history but as you say, writen information can be confusing, so it's really nice to find someone like yourself with a personal connection to learn from; your joy in your clothing really comes through. you should definitely be very proud of yourself for achieving such a rich hand sewn and self made wardrobe, too. i am not able to wear historical clothing in my daily life but even just having natural fibre layers has made a huge difference in my comfort this northern hemisphere winter.

Alongside layers, the biggest importance to keeping warm is having air in between the layers that can get warmed up from your body and you get warmth back from the air.

@janeevans4758 4 месяца назад

I just love how your face lights up as soon as you start speaking about the various clothing pieces & when you like to wear them.. absolutely fabulous and i love your style, and it suits you! You give so.many people confidence to sew and have the confidence themselves to wear what they like and have umph in their stride.. I have a mixed wardrobe but majority of my dresses are big and long and i have been asked if i have fallen from the set of little house on the prairie 😂 i just love that look and feel really comfortable in them.
