00:00On Bargain Hunt, we love looking back at the fashion that defined the decades.
00:06It's the perfect excuse to dress up.
00:09Like a fabulous flapper girl from the 1920s.
00:14Or in the boho style of the 60s and 70s.
00:19I reckon I'd wear this now.
00:20And later, I'll be meeting a dapper young man
00:24who takes dressing in period costume to a whole new level.
00:28But first, it's time to see if today's teams look the part.
00:33Let's go bargain hunting.
00:34Today's Reds and Blues can't wait to start shopping
01:00for bargains at this jam-packed antiques fair in Ardingly.
01:04Each team is given £300 but just 60 minutes to buy three items here at the fair.
01:10One must cost at least £75.
01:13And they'll also have to meet my shopping challenge.
01:16Then they'll be off to auction and the team that makes the bigger profit
01:19or the smaller loss will be crowned today's winners.
01:24Let's meet today's teams.
01:26Well, hey!
01:26I'm Keely.
01:27And I'm Sohej.
01:28We're ready for take-off.
01:29And sky's the limit.
01:31How did you two meet?
01:32We've known each other for about 16 years.
01:35I can't get rid of her.
01:36But no, I love her to bits.
01:38What kind of team will you be?
01:40We're going to be the best team.
01:41We listen to each other or he listens to me.
01:45And who'll be in charge?
01:48Well, me, of course.
01:49Definitely Keely, by a country world.
01:52Are you here to win?
01:54Oh, God, yes.
01:55We won a golden gavel.
01:56That's what we really, really want.
01:57Aiming high, Reds.
01:59Right, let's meet the opposition.
02:02Hi, I'm Becca.
02:03And I'm Mike.
02:03And we're here to tick off some deals.
02:05And teach the Reds a lesson.
02:07You're teachers, I take it?
02:09We were at school together and then we happened to end up working together.
02:13Bumped into each other in the same school and it's like, oh, hello.
02:16What's on your shopping list?
02:18You like things that you would like to take home.
02:20Yeah.
02:20I'm just really after a bargain.
02:22So who's the boss?
02:23I think it's going to be Becca.
02:25I hope it's Becca.
02:27Are you competitive?
02:29I'm not good at losing.
02:30Even if we play a game of cards at home and I win, he's like, no, we've got to play again.
02:35I think we're in for some fun today.
02:37Let's get started.
02:39Hi, teams.
02:40Hey.
02:40Hey, how are you doing?
02:42I'm very well.
02:43You're up for this, Reds?
02:44Absolutely.
02:45Absolutely.
02:46Can't wait.
02:47Blues, you're going to say the same, right?
02:48Absolutely.
02:49Yeah, we're up for it.
02:50I will give each team £300.
02:52Who will take it for the Reds?
02:53Keely.
02:54I will take that.
02:54Keely, why are you in charge of the money?
02:57Because I'm the sensible one.
02:58Ah, OK.
03:00So who's the sensible one for the Blues?
03:02That would be me.
03:02Becca.
03:03Definitely not me.
03:04I'm a woman.
03:05OK.
03:05So, Hesh, you're not sensible but you're getting a challenge.
03:09And same for you, Mike.
03:11Right, the best part is introducing you to your experts.
03:13I love this bit.
03:14Are you ready to meet them?
03:15Yes, they are.
03:16Well, they're keen to meet you, so off you go.
03:19They're off to meet their absolutely delightful experts,
03:21but what do they think makes a good one?
03:23OK, team, are you ready for flight?
03:25For the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
03:28And someone that can make us profit.
03:29Well, Becca and Mike, I will do my best.
03:31And for the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
03:35Time to reveal my challenges.
03:37An item that's at least 100 years old.
03:39Wow.
03:40An item designed to be used outdoors.
03:44The pressure's on, teams.
04:00Your 60 minutes start now.
04:02Let's go.
04:03Let's go.
04:04Come on.
04:04Both teams are off to a keen start.
04:08And the Reds are already thinking about my challenge.
04:13The Windsor chair.
04:14Very nice.
04:15Oak.
04:16Well, I'll tell you what, we can double up on this one,
04:18because it's definitely going to fulfil our challenge,
04:21100 years old.
04:22Yeah, it's 1900.
04:23Circa 1900, and secondly, I'd imagine at that price,
04:28which is 225, it would fill our big spend.
04:31I mean, what sort of money can this be?
04:32Best, best, best we could do would be 180.
04:35With 180.
04:36I think 180, oh.
04:38Pretty much.
04:39Yeah, I think it might be a little bit much for us.
04:41Nice try, Reds.
04:43The Blues are also starting with their challenge
04:46to find an outdoor item.
04:48They've got detail to us.
04:50They have.
04:51For me, they look a little bit more modern.
04:53They're like the kind of Chinese dogs of foe, if you like,
04:56the guard dogs, or...
04:58With a bit of paint spilt on them as well.
05:00Oh, well spotted.
05:02The cherub bed bath.
05:04And it looks like there's been a...
05:06Bit of a smash.
05:07Yeah, I don't...
05:08It's not particularly balanced, is it, anymore?
05:10No.
05:11Yeah.
05:11Just keep looking.
05:12Good plan.
05:14Now, what's caught Keely's eye?
05:17Anything take your fancy?
05:18We've got some vintage jewellery in here.
05:201950s filigree brooch.
05:24Is that silver, that one?
05:25It hasn't got that.
05:26I don't think that's silver.
05:27No, it's not got that look about it, has it?
05:30What's the price on it?
05:31So that one's £10.
05:33Hmm.
05:34Should we move on then?
05:35You're moving on now.
05:36I could tell this was happening.
05:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:38Danny steers the Reds away,
05:40while the Blues have headed indoors.
05:42Is that a fruit knife?
05:45Yeah, it is.
05:45That is lovely, because it's in its box.
05:48Is it Mother of Pearl?
05:49It is, yeah.
05:50So we've got Mother of Pearl,
05:52and we've got a little silver blade,
05:55which is hallmarked there.
05:57I really like that.
05:58Which is lovely.
05:59And actually, the blade is in really nice condition.
06:02So a little fruit knife,
06:03got a little bit of decoration.
06:04See the stripes on it?
06:05Yes.
06:06That's actually been carved into the Mother of Pearl.
06:09And the fact is, it's not gone rusty,
06:11because so many of them do, don't they?
06:14They do.
06:15So we've got clear hallmarks for Sheffield.
06:17I think that's Victorian, actually.
06:20How much is that one?
06:21Well, I'm on £100 for it, to normal people, yeah.
06:24But I'll do it for a bit of fun for you.
06:25I'll do it for £45.
06:26£45?
06:27They are sought after, I have to say.
06:29And I would put sort of £40 to £80 on it at auction.
06:34It's got the box as well, which is a real bonus.
06:37I think that's a good start.
06:38Yeah, I do.
06:40I think we've got a deal.
06:40Yeah, deal.
06:41£45, you happy with that?
06:42Thank you very much.
06:44Good work, Blues.
06:46The Fruit Knife is your first buy,
06:48with just under 15 minutes on the clock.
06:50Fantastic, guys.
06:51So, challenge Big Spend.
06:53Yeah, let's go.
06:54This way.
06:55Meanwhile, are the Reds clowning around?
06:58It's a...
06:59It's a little like a music box, isn't it?
07:00Music box, yeah.
07:01You wind it up, once that's pressed in,
07:03I think it's a bit...
07:04There's no way to it, is there?
07:06There's no way to...
07:07No.
07:07Oh, no.
07:07I'm not, yeah, I'm not, I don't like that.
07:10This is not what we're looking for.
07:12The search continues for the Reds.
07:15What has Mike spotted?
07:17What have you got, Mike?
07:18Is it a toy, or is it...
07:20I'm not too sure there's a lot of age to it,
07:23looking at the wheels.
07:23It's got age to it, it has got age.
07:25How old do you think it is?
07:26It's got to be 70s, I reckon.
07:2870s?
07:28And how much are you looking for?
07:30I had the right on it.
07:30At the end of the day now,
07:31I could do £20 on it, £20.
07:33Okay.
07:34It's quite unusual.
07:34No, I think we park it.
07:36Yeah, park it?
07:37Park it, maybe?
07:37You're not sure?
07:38No.
07:38No.
07:38The toy car is a no for now.
07:42What's next for you, Reds?
07:45What about the candlestick?
07:47It'd be nice if there was two of those.
07:50I think one on its own just might not really cut them.
07:54And would that base be authentic, or has that been added?
07:56No, that base has definitely been added.
07:58Yeah.
07:59No, I don't think so.
08:00No, he's not doing it.
08:00No, I wish there was two of them.
08:02Good advice from Danny, but you do still need your first buy, team.
08:07Let's go in this big shed.
08:08There's quite a few in there.
08:10Come on, let's step up a little bit.
08:11Let's go.
08:11Come on.
08:12With a spring in their step, can the Reds pin their hopes on some silver?
08:17I quite like this.
08:19Oh, do you?
08:19And that's a little modern pin cushion with glass eyes.
08:23Is it silver?
08:24Silver.
08:24Stamped silver, yes.
08:26Yeah, it's stamped 925.
08:27That's what we want to see, really, a British silver mark.
08:30It's quite nice.
08:31I mean, you know, they're quite fashionable.
08:33There's quite a lot of people who do sewing and that sort of thing.
08:36It's nice.
08:37It's novelty, and people collect pin cushions.
08:39It's beautiful, yeah.
08:40Is it cheap?
08:41Well, I've been on 60 for it.
08:43I'll do it for £35, give you the chance.
08:46Take it.
08:46Knock a bit more off for us.
08:48I'll lose a fiver, because I like you as a fiver.
08:50Oh, bless you.
08:51It's perfect.
08:52I think you should shake his hand.
08:53Yeah.
08:53No, it's very much.
08:55Thank you very much.
08:57The silver pin cushion is your first buy.
08:59Well done, Reds.
09:01But I'll tell you what, we'll be 25 minutes in.
09:04Yes.
09:04All right, Ben.
09:05Let's go, let's go, let's go.
09:06We've still got the challenge.
09:07We've still got the big spend.
09:08Yeah.
09:08We've got a lot of work to do.
09:09OK.
09:10So, well, Danny cracks the whip.
09:13The Blues have found this.
09:15That looks like a baton to me, or a swagger stick.
09:18Swagger stick.
09:19So, it's a stick that gentlemen had, Georgian gentlemen, or 19th century Victorian people,
09:24just as a sort of fashionable accoutrement.
09:27And a lovely turned wooden stick there.
09:33It's definitely a silver mount.
09:35And we've got Royal Engineers.
09:37Yeah.
09:37E.M.
09:38Paul, R.E.
09:39The engraving looks really clear.
09:41Mm.
09:42So, maybe it was used on a parade ground.
09:47Do you like it?
09:48What do you think?
09:49I like that it's different.
09:50Yeah.
09:51How much is this, please?
09:53I've got it up to £70.
09:54It's snakewood.
09:55It's snakewood, is it?
09:56It is snakewood.
09:57It's very, very unusual.
09:59What would be the best on that, please?
10:02I don't want to come down much.
10:03I'd knock a tenner off it and make it £60.
10:06My worry is how commercial it's going to be.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Shall we have a think?
10:10Yeah.
10:10We can always come back.
10:11Yeah.
10:11Could be a contender for your big spend, though, Blues.
10:15Back to the Reds, as they hunt for their 100-year-old challenge.
10:18What do you think about glass items?
10:21Glass is good.
10:22I just think with glass, it needs to be a big piece if it's going to auction.
10:28Preferably with a name like Whitefriars, Aurifons, Muranos, something like that.
10:34It really needs to be.
10:35Otherwise, when it goes to auction, I think it's going to get lost.
10:39OK.
10:40While Danny dishes out the advice...
10:42What have you found, Blues?
10:45What is it?
10:46A shaker?
10:47Yeah, so that's a little pepperette.
10:49Chinese silver rickshaw condiment set made in Hong Kong.
10:53So this would have been on a table,
10:56and it could be a lower grade of silver to sterling silver because it's Chinese,
11:01but you've got your little salt, pepper,
11:04and probably a little mustard or condiment in there,
11:08and you could wheel it up and down the table.
11:11It's quite light, isn't it?
11:13But it's actually quite a nice novelty little thing.
11:16It's marked silver.
11:17Yes.
11:18You're never going to get marks like you would on an English hallmark with the date letter and the maker's mark because they mark them differently.
11:28So it's more buying it as a little novelty piece.
11:32Something that appeals to you or not really?
11:33I actually know.
11:34I like the fact that it's quirky and different.
11:38I think that's really nice.
11:39I think you're more taken than I am, but I like the novelty side.
11:43What is the best price on that?
11:45The very best I can do is $60.
11:47And it does come...
11:48You can have the original box as well.
11:50OK.
11:51That's something to think about.
11:53It's something to think about.
11:54So it's a maybe for the silver condiment set.
11:58What about, like, toys, dolls?
12:03Yes, Keely, those dolls do look over 100 years old.
12:07Well, really, what you're looking for when it comes to dolls is porcelain ones.
12:11It's an antique French doll.
12:15On the back of the neck sometimes you find the name, especially if they're German.
12:19But this one hasn't got it.
12:22I mean, it seems quite rich to me at $130.
12:24I was, yeah, I was thinking the same.
12:27Shall we move on?
12:27Yeah, let's move on.
12:29It would meet both of your challenges, though, Reds.
12:34With 20 minutes left, the teams are level pegging with their challenge and big spend left to find.
12:39There's something to be used outdoors, something to be used outdoors.
12:44Just wondering, there's a little bag down there, a little vintage bag.
12:47That's designed for use outside.
12:50Does the clasp work?
12:51Let's have a look, Mike.
12:54And is it a...
12:55Does it twist?
12:56That's it.
12:57Nice, nice.
12:59You've got the key.
12:59I mean, it's indoors and outdoors, but it's definitely designed for travel, which is outdoors.
13:05They're known as Gladstone bags, actually, named after Gladstone, the Prime Minister.
13:11And they're usually used by doctors, because they can open up so widely, because they've got a metal frame on them.
13:19Yeah.
13:20And then, you know, you can use it almost like a tray, so a doctor could get at all his medicines and bits and pieces.
13:28Little brass, little cartouche there, which probably would have been engraved with initials.
13:34But actually, the leather is in really good order.
13:38I think that's different.
13:40Yeah, it is.
13:40I think it would depend on the price, wouldn't it?
13:42How much is it, Lisa?
13:4420.
13:45Make us fall in love with it.
13:4715.
13:48I don't think we can say no at 15.
13:50Happy, Becca?
13:50Yeah, I'm happy.
13:52You sure?
13:52Yeah.
13:5215 pounds.
13:54Good man.
13:55Nice work, Blues.
13:56The Gladstone bag is your second buy and meets my challenge.
14:00Fantastic.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Well done, you guys.
14:03Right, Reds, you're playing catch-up.
14:06What have you found, Sahesh?
14:08Is it brass or copper?
14:11It's not that heavy.
14:13That is brass.
14:14What would you do with it?
14:16Plants.
14:17Planter.
14:17Ice bucket.
14:19Ice bucket.
14:19Even better.
14:20The old champagne.
14:21I'm thinking about the old champagne.
14:22That's right.
14:23Would that clean off?
14:24I guess that would clean off.
14:26Patina.
14:26Patina?
14:27Well, it would clean.
14:28It's just a bit of age, isn't it, really?
14:30Yeah.
14:31You know, there's been better.
14:32And there's also worse.
14:34I think it's a bit later than 100 years old, to be honest.
14:37Okay.
14:38What's your best?
14:3970 quid.
14:4070 quid.
14:42I think that's too rich for us.
14:43Yeah.
14:4470 quid.
14:44Come on.
14:44Okay.
14:45Let's go.
14:45Come on.
14:46The blues just need one more buy, and Becca's taking a shine to this.
14:52I quite like this little bowl and spoon here.
14:56So that is Danish silver, by the look of things, and enamels.
14:59I think it's really pretty.
15:00We haven't seen anything like that since we've been going around.
15:03So is it for salt?
15:05It's exactly that, yes.
15:06Salt, centuries ago, was very highly prized, but this is more a decorative thing for the table.
15:12You've got the box.
15:14It's obviously all original because it fits really nicely in there.
15:17You've got the spoon.
15:18I mean, these are collectible.
15:20So we've got the name for Mecca, which was a Danish manufacturer here.
15:26And it's marked and marked for Danish and sterling.
15:30So we know it's sterling standard.
15:32Right.
15:33The enamel is in wonderful condition.
15:36It's just all about the price, really.
15:38What could you do for us on this?
15:40Um, 130 would be the death.
15:42Would it?
15:42Yeah, very limited on that, I'm afraid.
15:44If it was 110, 120, I would...
15:48I think at auction it is going to be a bit much, isn't it?
15:51Too big, even for your big spend, Tim.
15:54Now, Reds, could these rusty kitchen items meet my 100-year-old challenge?
16:00And what about that pot there?
16:01What is that?
16:02This looks like...
16:03Is it a chestnut burner or something like that description?
16:07What's one of them, Gov?
16:08Coffee roasting pan.
16:10Coffee roasting pan.
16:11How much is it?
16:12Very fine.
16:13It's definitely sort of 1920s, round that sort of...
16:16Would you prefer this or would you prefer the chair?
16:20I reckon this.
16:22Yeah.
16:22Because this looks the part.
16:24Let's get this.
16:25Let's get it out of the way.
16:26I think get this out of the way and worry about the big spend.
16:29Yeah.
16:29Hey, what's the best on this, Gov?
16:31Come on.
16:3325.
16:3425.
16:35All the twos?
16:3625.
16:36We'll take it.
16:37It's a deal.
16:39The coffee roasting pan is the Reds' second buy and meets my challenge.
16:43Well done.
16:43We've still got the big spend to buy.
16:46Yeah.
16:47And we've probably got about ten minutes left.
16:48Come on, let's go.
16:49Come on.
16:49We ain't got time.
16:50Come on.
16:51Teams, you're neck and neck.
16:54With your big spends left to find and less than ten minutes to go.
16:57What we want is something that's quite weighty, something of quality.
17:02I mean, that looks a nice little box.
17:04We've got the date on it, 1903, Middleton Hall.
17:08And I love these because they're so tactile.
17:11So it looks just like a lovely oval.
17:13It feels lovely in your hands.
17:14It's got that pebble look to it, doesn't it?
17:15Exactly.
17:16So you have to squeeze and it pings open.
17:20Badminton 1902, Williams Limited.
17:23So it's Edward VII.
17:25Yeah, we've got clear Chris Paul marks.
17:28I really like that.
17:29Out of everything that we've seen, I think that's got potential.
17:33It's marked at 120.
17:34They might give us a good deal.
17:36We're looking at this.
17:37I'm just wondering, what would be your best price on this?
17:41The TXS 120 at the moment.
17:43Yeah, 80.
17:43Could you do it for 79?
17:46It gives us a chance if it hits 80.
17:48Yeah.
17:48Do you mind?
17:48Fair enough.
17:49Absolutely.
17:50Thank you very much.
17:50That's a great discount.
17:51Thank you very much.
17:52And thank you ever so much.
17:53Great negotiating blues.
17:55The silver snuff box is your big spend and final buy.
17:59We've done it.
18:00Yes.
18:01With all the clanking and the packing up.
18:04We've done it.
18:04Well done.
18:05Come on, Reds.
18:07Your turn.
18:09We're running out of minutes.
18:10What are you after?
18:11Well, we'll visit...
18:12It's a big spend.
18:13We'll want to spend some money with your...
18:15Is that your van?
18:16Yeah.
18:17We might be struggling here.
18:19I sense panic.
18:22I think the only thing you've got here that might stand a chance is that pine table.
18:28Do you like pine tables?
18:29Yeah.
18:30It's functional.
18:33It's a nice side.
18:34It's practical.
18:35Nice proportion.
18:36What do you reckon?
18:36It's nice.
18:37Yeah.
18:38It's beautiful.
18:38I think if you go to a nice, cosy place, this would be perfect for the kitchen.
18:42That drawer is really useful.
18:44And there's nothing anything to it.
18:46There's no damage or anything.
18:47How much is that table?
18:49I have 130 on it, but you could have it for 75.
18:52It's a very good discount.
18:53It's a very good discount off the active price that he was selling it for.
18:56I think we've found our big buy.
18:57I think we've done it lost, but we've done it well.
19:00Thank you very much, sir.
19:01OK, thank you.
19:02Thank you very much.
19:03Well, that was lucky, Reds.
19:05The pine table for £75 is your big spend, just in the nick of time.
19:10And relax, teams.
19:12The shopping's done.
19:13We've done it.
19:14Come on, let's go and get a coffee.
19:15Let's go.
19:15A cold drink, at least.
19:17Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
19:21They started with a silver pin cushion.
19:23Price paid, £30.
19:26Next, they met my 100-year-old challenge,
19:29with an early 20th-century coffee roasting pan for £25.
19:35Finally, they spent big on a pine kitchen table for £75.
19:41Sahesh Keeley, Danny, you've done it.
19:43You almost used every minute available.
19:46Absolutely.
19:47And to complete the full bargain hunt experience,
19:49you bought something off the back of a van.
19:51Yes.
19:52We did.
19:53Now, be honest, was that Danny's influence?
19:55It was.
19:56Well, yeah.
19:56It was.
19:57Tell me, Sahesh, first of all,
20:00which is your favourite of the three items?
20:02Mine was the table off the back of the van.
20:04I loved it.
20:05I think once it came out, it was beautiful.
20:07Which do you reckon is going to bring the biggest profit?
20:10I think it will be the silver pin cushion.
20:11Oh, the duck.
20:12I love duck stuff.
20:14It's so cute.
20:15Right.
20:16Ely, are you on the same page?
20:17Which is your favourite?
20:18So, my favourite was the pin cushion.
20:20It was beautiful.
20:21But tell me which you think will bring the biggest profit.
20:23I think I'm on the same page as Sahesh.
20:26I think that that may bring us the biggest profit.
20:29Okay, interesting.
20:30Now, you spent £130 on the nose.
20:34So, who has £170 for Danny?
20:36I have.
20:37So, hand it over.
20:38Danny, £170 is a lot of dosh.
20:41A lot of dosh.
20:42Do you have a lot of thoughts?
20:43I don't know what I'm going to do.
20:45Ooh.
20:46I don't know.
20:46But it's a great fair and there's plenty to choose from.
20:49So, Danny's off to find a bonus buy for the Reds
20:52and it's time for us to remind ourselves what the Blue Team bought.
20:56This silver Mother of Pearl handled fruit knife
20:59was their first buy for £45.
21:03Next, the leather Gladstone bag
21:05met my item designed for outside challenge.
21:09£15 paid.
21:11And they finished with their big spend.
21:13A silver snuff box with gilt interior for £79.
21:19Mike, Becca, Kate, you did it.
21:21Well done.
21:22Did you expect it to go so swimmingly?
21:25We did have a plan and we didn't stick to it at all.
21:27So, we've got three things that we didn't plan to buy.
21:30But, yeah, we had fun.
21:31Tell me, first of all, Mike, which is your favourite item?
21:33I think it's got to be the fruit knife with the Mother of Pearl engrave.
21:37It's really nice, really pretty.
21:39Which of the items will bring the biggest profit?
21:41I think, again, the Mother of Pearl fruit knife.
21:43I think it was really well-priced in the end
21:46and it's so pretty in its box.
21:48Right.
21:48What about you, Becca?
21:49Tell me, which is your favourite?
21:50I actually agree with both, with Mike,
21:53because it was something so nice, unique
21:56and it's something you spotted, which was really lovely.
21:59Oh, good.
22:00So, you think that will bring the biggest profit too?
22:01Yeah.
22:02OK.
22:02Now, you spent £139, I think it was £139, is that right?
22:06Yeah, that's right.
22:06So, £161 in your pocket.
22:08Becca, are you still in charge of the money?
22:10I am, yes.
22:10You are.
22:11So, please pass it over to Kate.
22:13There we are.
22:14Great.
22:15Kate, what are you thinking?
22:16Well, hopefully something that you'll both like.
22:18Oh, a bit of a crowd-pleaser.
22:20OK.
22:21So, Kate's off to find a bonus buy for the Blues
22:23and it's time for me to meet a gentleman
22:25who has a penchant for period fashion.
22:32The Regency era of the early 1800s
22:35brought us grand classical architecture
22:37and elaborate costumes,
22:39from satin and lace-trimmed dresses for women
22:42to towering top hats and tailored waistcoats for men.
22:45It's a period that fascinates Zach Pinsent
22:49and, for him,
22:50channelling the elegance and flair of the Regency era
22:53has become a whole way of life.
22:56Zach, look at you, here at the fair,
22:59bringing antiques to life.
23:01You look incredible.
23:02Oh, well, thank you very, very much.
23:04It's a pleasure to be here.
23:05And this is an everyday look for you, isn't it?
23:06This is morning till night,
23:09every day of the year.
23:10You're on holiday, you're in the pub,
23:12you're with your friends.
23:13You're dressed like this.
23:14Absolutely.
23:15You know, airport security find me very interesting.
23:18Oh, yeah, they do.
23:19They must say, what are you going to film?
23:21It's like, what are those?
23:22These are spurs.
23:23Sorry.
23:25Yes, you'll have to take those off.
23:27We want to know, of course,
23:29where did it all start?
23:30Well, it's interesting
23:31because every child loves dressing up
23:33and I just never really stopped.
23:35When we moved house when I was 14,
23:37I found my great-granddad's clothes
23:40upstairs in the loft from the 1920s
23:42and they fitted me perfectly.
23:43And then I thought to myself,
23:45why do I dress any other way?
23:47Did it cost your family a fortune
23:48keeping you in period costume?
23:51No, not so much
23:52because it started off with me
23:54repairing vintage pieces,
23:56finding vintage pieces,
23:57and then from repairing things
23:59went to actually then making pieces.
24:01So you have become a period costume tailor.
24:05Where did you learn this craft?
24:07Well, I'm all self-taught.
24:09So it meant a lot of research
24:11going to the National Archives,
24:12various museums,
24:13and to a large extent,
24:15trial and error
24:16being my own teacher and apprentice.
24:18What's wonderful
24:19is that it gives you a real appreciation
24:21of how clothing is made
24:23and how it's constructed
24:24and how it's changed over time.
24:26So, for example,
24:26with an original piece like this
24:28from probably the 1770s,
24:31the fabric itself,
24:32some of it has deteriorated,
24:33but the workmanship,
24:35the stitching,
24:36is still wonderfully secure
24:37and actually still almost wearable.
24:40As you can see,
24:40you've just got such exuberance in colour.
24:42This would have been
24:43the height of fashion.
24:44You had to wear your wealth,
24:46didn't you?
24:47You had to show everyone
24:48that not only were you wealthy,
24:49you were in the know,
24:50you were fashionable,
24:51you were up to date
24:52with what was going on at the court.
24:54Well, exactly.
24:55I mean, something like this
24:56where you've got this wonderful velvet
24:57but then lined
24:58with a contrasting shot silk lining
25:00would have been incredibly fashionable
25:02but also give a nice bit of character
25:04when you were walking around.
25:05This is the wonderful thing,
25:06especially about period clothing.
25:08Everything was made bespoke for you
25:10and had your own touch to it.
25:13Things were repaired
25:13left, right and centre.
25:14George III had pieces of clothing
25:17which were darned
25:18and fixed and mended
25:19because clothing
25:20always had an intrinsic value
25:22rather than now
25:23we're used to throwing things away
25:25with the fast fashion of it.
25:26I believe recently though
25:28there was an interesting collaboration
25:29with the National Gallery.
25:31That was really a highlight
25:33of anything I've done
25:34in my career so far.
25:36So it was part of
25:37their 200th anniversary
25:38and it was to create
25:39a piece from The Morning Walk
25:42and it was
25:43The Gentleman's Outfit.
25:45And of course The Morning Walk
25:46I remember from my studies,
25:47Gainsborough,
25:47an incredible painting.
25:48So this must be Mr Hallett.
25:50Precisely.
25:51So what's the process?
25:52You have the Gainsborough portrait
25:54as your point of reference
25:55but how do you work backwards
25:56from that to create
25:57Mr Hallett's suit?
25:59I will look a lot
26:00at original surviving pieces
26:02and pattern drafts
26:03but also portraiture
26:04to then have the ability
26:05to draft something
26:07and then you've got to
26:07sort of cut it out with scissors
26:08and then of course
26:09you've got to hand sew it all together.
26:11And is this typical for you
26:12to use art historical references
26:14from not just visual art
26:16but maybe literature as well?
26:17Absolutely.
26:18And of course
26:18one of the most interesting
26:20and one of the most influential
26:21Regency writers
26:22of course Jane Austen
26:23very rarely mentions clothing
26:25in her novels.
26:27And in fact
26:27Mr Darcy in Jane Austen's mind
26:30wouldn't have looked like
26:31Colin Firth
26:32because the Mr Darcy
26:33she had in her mind
26:34would have probably been wearing
26:36a wig and a suit
26:37not too dissimilar to this.
26:38There's no way our viewers
26:40aren't now thinking
26:41where do I buy
26:43period costume
26:44authentic pieces
26:45so what would you advise?
26:47Antiques fairs like this
26:48or go to auction?
26:49You're more like to find things
26:50at sort of specialist auctions
26:51you may find the occasional thing
26:53around and about
26:54and in fact
26:54I did pick this lovely
26:56original waistcoat up
26:57at auction
26:57as well as some other pieces
26:58there are still plenty of attics
27:00with things hidden away.
27:01Ah yes
27:02okay
27:03and wouldn't we all
27:03just love a rummage?
27:04Oh yes.
27:05It's been really lovely
27:06to chat with you Zach
27:07I feel terribly underdressed
27:09but thank you for joining us
