Congrats to that man for REALLY getting into his role

Bullies must have had a bad time back then.
"Who dressed you? your mother?"
"No my butler."
"Oh."

Imagine being done dressing the nobleman, when he suddenly says
“You know, the purple one is better. Go on, fetch it”

2:06 I cant stop laughing at the thought of someone having to tell a man: “My good sir, it that your flap is down...”

I love how much the actor is getting into his "aristocratic" role. Kind of over the top, but still fun.

[creamofthecrop]

this guy is so arrogant - makes the video 400x better

[jesseh.]

love how he just... randomly eats a grape lmao

So, with 70s clothing coming back into style, how much longer till I can wear this out in public.

Either this gentleman is a spectacular actor or they ran out of sweets on set that day and the other man took the last one. Nonetheless, this is a marvelous video!

The actors in these series are amazing. They do such a good job of portraying what the "upper class" looks like without having to say a word

"Feeling gentlemanly, might raise taxes later, IDK"

[saintshrooms]

Plot twist:
He looks annoyed because the grapes are fake

[gracearnold]

2:37 everybody has to have a grape break while getting dressed

[joaoglessa]

300 years later and people will be paying 600 dollars for a supreme tshirt

imagin clothing descriptions from our time years from now
*"the crop top was worn to show one's assets and navel piercings as well as providing the wearer with more comfort during the summer months, it came in a variety of sleeve lengths or could be sleeveless entirely as a tube top."*

I am absolutely in love with 18th century fashion, especially when it comes to the men's fashion. It's all so beautiful, and it's just a shame that there are far less videos on historical men's fashion compared to women's.

[jessim.]

I can't handle this sassy gentleman!!

[envyrem]

who knew it would come to throwing on a Nike shirt and some basketball shorts and calling it a day

[KairiHawkeye]

Super entertaining to read the comments about his acting lol
