Why I dress as a Regency gentleman... everyday of my life - BBC News

Zack MacLeod Pinsent dresses as a British Regency gentleman every day, saying that the clothing is a "huge confidence builder".

He ceremoniously burned his last pair of jeans when he was 14-years-old and hasn't looked back since.

He's a tailor and has found a market for clients wanting historical pieces overseas.

He doesn't go for walks, he gracefully strolls about in a stately manner.

The most impressive part is he actually makes the clothes.

If you're making your own clothes you deserve to dress how ever you'd like.

No joke he looks handsome the clothing brings attention to his face

[GlobalConvoy]

I went to school with this guy. He always wore top hats and was quite flamboyant but I never thought he'd end up making a career/business out of it!
Good on him!

[RikthDcruze]

He actually looks way better than the people around him.

We have Renaissance Festivals.
Why can't we have Regency Festivals?
There could be teas, haberdashery contests and walk-with-a-fancy-cane racing. It'd be splendid!

[gogogomes]

I'm positive that the clothes increase his accent.

At 14-years old, homeboy is like, “Jeans are so ‘common.’ “ 👖

[chikitabowow]

To be fair, those clothes really suits him to the point where he'd probably look odd in "modern" clothes.

*looks at his clothes.
*Realizes it’s not hurting anyone and he enjoys it.
*Goes on minding my business.

You know you’ve done well when even a BBC youtube comment section is mostly positive and respectful.

“What’s the point of returning, once evolved?” Beautifully stated.
