When It Comes To Clothes,

fashions come and go,

but given a choice, what era of fashion would you really like to wear, the swinging sixties perhaps? but not so for Zack Pinsent, a 25-year-old tailor from Brighton, in the UK, who burned his last pair of jeans over a decade ago, and has been wearing elegant Regency-period costumes ever since, photographs Zack Pinsent/Facebook,

 he was always fascinated by the elegant fashion of Britain’s Regency Era and other historical styles going back to the 1600s. He taught himself how to make the clothes he dreamed of wearing and once he became good enough at it, he decided to cut modern clothes from his life forever,

  “Wearing what I wear, it makes you feel 10-feet-high,” Pinsent told the BBC. “You know, it’s spectacular, it’s a huge confidence builder. You fight so hard, generally externally, because you’re always ready for it, it’s whether everyone else is. Once you get past that point and you can finally do it, you never dream of going back.”

 Zack says that walking around his hometown of Brighton in his three-piece gentleman suits every day is the only way he feel comfortable in the 21st century. He admits people stop and stare at him all the time, and that some may make snarky comments, but says that most of the time the general reaction is positive. While they may not tell him to his face, the 25-year-old says that he feels an under-current of respect,

as it often happens when people focus on the things they love, Zack Pinsent managed to turn his love for historical clothing into a lucrative business. He runs a tailoring workshop in Brighton called Pinsent Tailoring and creates bespoke historical garments from the 1660s to the 1920s, specialising in the style of the Georgian and Regency periods. He has clients all over the world and uses social media to showcase his work, Zack has over 200,000 followers on Instagram alone, and claims that posting photos of himself wearing the clothes he wears every day has helped him, so what period of dress would you chose to wear? for myself early Caveman Ugh, but then I have never been a snappy dresser!
