ok ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome to London and welcome to my home
today's video is going to be a little behind the scenes wardrobe when I say
wardrobe rather than fashion or style this is the clothes I'll show you the
clothes I was wearing last year and what I plan to be wearing this year now
I say it's not a fashion or style video more wardrobe
what I tend to try and wear in my videos is firstly the same thing each time I film
throughout the course of video so even though I'm filming on multiple days I'm
trying to ensure that each time I go out filming I look the same it just it looks
better in terms of continuity it looks better for me when I'm editing
it drives me mad if I'am in different outfits and plus it means I can jump around in
the timeline more easily so yeah I try and wear the same things each
time I'm filming throughout the entire video no matter how many days I'm filming
over and secondly I try and wear things from ideally British brands but also items
that are stylish rather than fashionable fashions ephemeral and it ages very
quickly so the videos will therefore look out of date very quickly whereas Styles timeless so
to that extent in my most of my videos up to now you'll see me wearing this hat which was
purchased from Cordings here in London on Piccadilly I get asked
about where I've got this hat all the time not only online people stop me in
the street and ask me where this hat got this hat from so yeah Cordings on Piccadilly
I made a film when I went and purchased it it might have been two years ago now
but yeah that's been very popular great hat
if you would like to purchase one that's the store I got it from I think they
still sell them in a variety of different colours the jacket you would have seen me wearing a lot is
this a Barbour the model they're Beaufort made in England and these are a wax
jacket and what I mean by that is they actually made from cotton which isn't
waterproof they are then coated in wax which makes them waterproof and being
natural materials they wear so periodically you have to re wax them to
keep them waterproof which I did last year to this one I made a video about
that if you want to see how that's done I went to barber one of Barbour's stores in Leadenhall
market and got the wax and then re waxed it you can send them back to barber and
they will do it for you they'll repair any tears or broken zips or components most
of the time in my videos all you see me is that section their head and shoulders
so that's what I'am going to be focusing on hats and coats and what most people see
because I get asked quite a lot what I'am wearing and where I got it from so yeah
hat was primarily from Cordings this jacket was from Barbour another coat I wore quite a lot
was this quilted jacket the reason I liked both of these coats is because of
all the pockets plenty of storage for cameras and tripods camera accessories
they worked out great but I fancy a change this year so I've got from barber who
made the wax Jacket a delivery here new coat and new hats
hopefully this year this one this jacket was from a brand called John Partridge
another British brand I'am not sure if I'll be retiring these from the films or just giving
them a rest but let me open this parcel from Barbour and I'll show you
what I'll mainly be wearing this season
(music)
okay so a very well package delivery from barber let's start with my new jacket
this is a barber international Steve McQueen quilted bomber jacket now I'll
be honest it wasn't the Steve McQueen bit that sold it I just like the jacket
I'd actually rather had one without Steve McQueen embroidered on the arm not that I don't think Steve
McQueen's cool he definitely is but if I want to look like Steve McQueen I think I'd
go and buy maybe a Bellstaff jacket we'll I've got a Bellstaff jacket I used to use Bellstaff
every day when I rode a motorbike every day I've got both the vintage looking
ones I actually wore their modern motorcycle clothing which I'm not
sure if they still do the more modern materials with Kevlar and that in
but yeah id I wanted to look like Steve McQueen I think I would buy a Bellstaff jacket
for the motorcycle look or a Barracuta g9 which are iconic Jackets from another
British brand every pop star and rock stars been seen in one from Elvis to Oasis
and movie stars as well Superman wore one James Bond's Warn them but barber Steve
McQueen did wear barber and I think he wore them on his motorbike and they have a Steve McQueen range
and this is part of it they kind of have a lot of the clothing and the Jackets look American
inspired as opposed to the traditional British look that Barbour is famous for so this
is the Barbour international Steve McQueen quilted jacket Pictures of Steve
McQueen there on the label and the only thing that makes it noticeably Steve
McQueen on the outside is this embroidery on the arm which hopefully
won't stand out too much but like I say most of the film you see me from
here to here let's try this on okay on the inside we have more Branding
there we go
that details there that
thats probably all the reference numbers if you want to get one but yeah I fancied a short
jacket this season I've gone for this there we go
not so much pocket space but it will have to do pocket on the inside to put some stuff in
luckily my cameras are quite compact but yeah hopefully you'll be seeing this a lot
more in the films so yeah that's my new jacket and I've got two new hats
I'am retiring the or giving the Cordings a rest and first up while it's really cold here
in London at the moment I have got this which is a barber cassock fleck pom hat
here we go lets tear this open thats the details there
okay Navy and this part here has like little flecks in it can you see that
according to the sales pitch it was supposed to recreate or be
similar to some sort of Scottish traditional Scottish fabrics but yeah hopefully
that will keep me warm when its freezing cold like it is right now and then
for when it gets a little bit warmer in a couple of months time I've got a cap
this is a Barbour wax sports cap so wax the same waxed cotton the same as the jacket
the barber wax jacket I showed you earlier check that out again Navy because the coats
navy I got two Navy hats to match it
codes there if that interests you a bit of tartan on the inside
quite nice fittings on the back there looks very well made adjust the size Barbour logo and yeah
so that is for when the weather gets warmer get the tag out the way the only problem with caps is
filming it puts a shadow on your face especially when your filming up quite
close it can look quite dark so yeah I'll test that out for filming it seemed like a
good idea but it depends how it works out on camera they can throw quite a lot of shade
unless the lights coming Straight at you thats a filming thing for you the Cordings
Piccadilly cap might make some cameos but we'll see so yeah I hope you enjoyed
this little look behind the scenes at the wardrobe department of Roberts
London and I hope you like my new coat and hat and they will be making appearances soon
in videos throughout the year I would imagine so thanks watching and until
next time from here in London Toodles!
