Suggestion - Before Neil writes a book, Possibly collaborate on a series of classes, because the class work will stand as an outline for a good book structure. (including all those wonderful pics that he'll have by the end) possibly have two courses, one general and one tailoring specific, do the class on youtube as set up for book sales. possibly some on patreon and one solid COURSE, not single vid, on youtube as sales set up. yes I just planned a couple of years of vids for you. :P but also Helped Neil write his book, he should get you and Nichole to collab. yes you can have more than one author on a book. or series. cough cough. (I'd join your patreon but alas my funds are not there these days, but love your channel) My suggestion comes from listening to Neil on your videos I think he has a teaching penchant, ergo allow that strength to do the writing. Okay just brainstorming... back to your regularly scheduled programming!

Ngl, when i heard "these stays are still holding the shape of the woman who wore them" I teared up. Like, how beautiful is this. The person is gone, but her clothes remain to give testimony about how she lived, who she was, literally by outlining her shape where she used to be. I'm not putting it well but I'm emotional. Isn't this what archeology and history is about - to trace the people of the past by the clues they've left behind. So, what I'm saying is, I get the sweat excitement.

The cats could very well be Jaquars, Leopards, or Cheetahs. I think a leopard is most likely because of native Chinese or American species. I'm more interested in what drove a guy to have leopards exhibiting a sexual dominance behavior on his waistcoat. Male cats will bite other male cats butts to show dominance (as well as their privates). This is a serious power move if a dude showed up to something like a marriage mart ball in it. (Not the Ton because this predates it but something like it.)

This may just be my interpretation but in the age of horrible slavery in that part of the world someone who could afford to be leopard waistcoat guy could probably also afford to be slave owner guy and presuming the right to own people as property is also a pretty agressive move.

They look like reasonably wealthy individuals' belongings, so would it have been enslaved servants? Professional tailors & seamstresses?

The embroidered animals are leopards. Not only are the ‘spots’ the classic 2-toned rosettes, but the images match almost identically to drawings of leopards from the mid-to-late 1700’s. They are also lacking the distinct facial markings of cheetahs.

I’m so excited that Safiya got to see historical Williamsburg and this collection! I was just watching videos where she talked about how much she wanted to do this was lovely to see. Also I do hope Neil writes a book and we see him on the channel more often!

This was so amazing to watch! 🤩 Thank you, more please! And Neil has to write that book! …and start a KZitem channel!

Older video but I will say: they're not cheetahs. Cheetahs have solid black spots and have the tears going down the face. They're either leopards or Jaguars, based on the spots ( an attempt at a black rosette pattern ). Past that, it's hard to say, but maybe jaguar if the body is more stocky?

Thank you for the awesomeness. I hope that you can convince Neil to write that book for you and share his knowledge.

10000000% need Neil to write books. Plural. Mens clothing is way too often overlooked and the man is a treasure!

I agree with Clarice...Neil MUST write a book and start a KZitem channel! And thanks for mentioning the sizes of those stay...good to know 18th century gals were not the teensy-waisted individuals we always think of...heck, they were nearly our sizes (21st century ladies...) and they sweated just like us, too!

The two realms of my watch history are now overlapping. I love Saf and I love historical dress. This makes me so happy 😊

That black dress is awesome, and this video was so fun! I just wanted to mention that Safiya and Tyler’s names are misspelled as Sofia and Taylor in the captions.

Wasn’t black a really difficult color to achieve before synthetic dyes? And that is a really black black!
