I wear historical clothes [1900- 1930 mens]. Here is my tip - to begin with wear them after dark. Once you have worn an outfit a couple of times at night you will feel much more comfortable wearing it in the day - I promise. Adn it IS true what people say - that 99% of all the comments are very positive. It genuinely makes other peoples day to see you!

@VBirchwood QUOTE "was socially acceptable and now it is the opposite" & " employers potentially would look down " I think you may be jumping to conclusions. Naturally, I can not speak for all employers, but I think many employers would appreciate your individualism and creativity.

@VBirchwood - You said you were doing an MA - so I was kinda thinking more of a professional setting. And re "many office and corporate jobs, anything deemed “distracting” is often not allowed" - it entirely depends if the company wants individuals with talent and creativity or just robots fulfilling a task. My point is, there are companies that would immediately White you if you turned up to an interview in a historical outfit cos they are looking for that type of person, someone who "thinks outside the box" and all the other cliches... I think there would be many companies where it would be welcomed. I have certainly worked for several.

@VBirchwood - I am impressed that you worked while studying, this does not appear to be the norm in the UK any longer. May I ask what the subject of your MA is? What career you are hoping for?

@VBirchwood WOW - you look about 21..!!! and an MA in Creative Writing, I'm an author now, after a lifetime in business. So I strongly approve. It does you good [even though you don't think so at the time] to come from a modest family and to have to struggle. Nothing is gained from an easy life, nothing worth having anyway. I grew up with actual holes in my shoes, going to school in a black bin liner with holes for the arms and head, we were too poor to afford coats...

@VBirchwood - I have been a millionaire and I have been homeless. I would argue that you can not grow in character from an easy life, I certainly learned nothing from being rich except that it's not like the movies... Anyway, I just found your channel and I have subscribed, you are charming and I am sure your outfits bring great joy to many people every day. I will say good night as It is late here in Bulgaria. Maybe talk again one day... :-D
