At left, the type of 1840s man that many people want, looking dashing in his evening costume and with the fashionable barrel chest and defined waist of his breed.

At right, a more typical example of the 1840s man that you will find at discount prices: note the striped trousers, huge paletot coat, and cigar.

This is the difference that proper vetting of your 19th century man can make! Of course, many people are happy with the Gent on the right and will gladly indulge his fashion habits and smoking.

Robert Plant’s luscious blonde hair is exactly the hair I envision Lestat having, alas by the looks of the new Vamp Chronicles show, we ain’t getting long beautiful hair for Lestat! A CRIME.

Tom Cruise’s wig in Interview was also glorious.

#I have concerns about the new interview show #the casting no the casting is good actually #it's the plot being completely and utterly different than the books that make me go hmmm #also no mid 1700s fashion! NO ! No Victorian fashion EITHER! ahh

I'm sorry for flooding your notifications, but I love this blog so much!

I'm wondering how to keep a mid 19th century man warm during the winter, especially if he enjoys staying outside for long periods of time.. What was in style during the winter? And did they wear scarves or beanies like we do today?

Not a silly question at all! For his basic winter top layer, he'll wear an overcoat with a surprisingly modern cut, like these two examples of Chesterfields from A Practical Guide for the Tailor's Cutting-room (1848).

But layers and accessories can make this much warmer. Of course he loves his comforter, as he calls it—a woolen scarf for wrapping around the neck.

A comforter by George Cruikshank, 1831.

You can find knitting patterns for comforters, muffetees, chest protectors, and other gifts for your 19th century man that will keep him warm, comfortable, and safe from draughts.

Even the adventurous winter lifestyle is accomodated with these knit caps for gentlemen, both from The Art of Knitting (1892).

FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.
