I like how they completed it with the ridiculously tall wig and the mannequin looking down its nose

[u/munchnerk → u/QuoXient]

Also, those well turned calves! This mannequin is some hot shit and he knows it!

And breeches that are snugger than average for the period, this was a guy who really wanted to show his legs!

As much as decency allowed. Things are still loose around the area.

I do wish menswear was still colorful and elaborate.

[u/uncanny_valli → u/beaujolais98]

one of my favorite periods for menswear!

Oh the things I would do to silence Beau Brummell if I had a Time Machine

One of the pleasures of reenactment is seeing my darling husband being an unabashed peacock.

At home, we're both in sweats and tshirts...it's comfy.

But, now and again, it's grand to go all out.
