But it is not historically accurate...

Nighthawk Though this isn't medieval Europe, but 1600s.

@@Mira_Dunia yeah and the costumes and fencing are really inaccurate, but who''s paying attention to detail anyway

@@kinan2934 Yeah, those purists, am I right? *laughs hysterically while sitting on a list of historical inaccuracies longer than the source material*

I'm glad to hear that her amazing creations for this wonderful show did not go unnoticed. Although I have been reading the criticism others have said about this specific work of hers to not be truely accurate to the 16th century. It regardless is a beautiful showcasing of fashion especially the detailed and distressed leather doublets.

@@Diana_Fire Mid 17th century, not 16th. And yes, the TV show had historically inaccurate costumes, but this is not a new thing...

Omgg i literally loveee tom , his humour sense its just play it straight and its just amazing

Silence and a slight smile...

Yes, exactly - Dumas gave Richelieu's age in 1625 as 36 in the book, when (if he'd had the means to research it, of course) he could have looked up that the cardinal was actually 40 by then. It doesn't matter, and the enjoyment of it all is the main thing

I love the pause and then 'just basically leather, top to toe' in case anyone struggled with the sarcastic delivery 😂

I agree with you entirely about the show. I was captivated from the first episode. Alas this third season has already been announced as the last season. 😩

Long days and pleasant nights 🙏

Course! Huge sacrifice looking at these again while editing vids for upload ;).

Whats wrong with wearing historical accurtate costumes? 17th century clothing looks fine and works for such a setting. No need to go for the stereotypical leather biker gear that many series set in the past use.

+Mihalis Benko I just pretend this is Robin Hood or King Arthur..that is, fiction in a fantasy world inspired by history and tweaked to sell to modern sensibilities.

Mihalis Benko I love the feather hats. 😇

I have thought exactly the same as Capaldi began to speak lol

The Musketeers of the Guard, which is the regiment Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan are a part of, had a uniform of knee-high boots, knee-length tabard with a fleur de lis, and a wide brimmed hat. They probably wore a doublet with a fleur de lis stamped on it as well under the tabard. As for weapons they carried a rapier and a parrying dagger, pistols (snapback), and a musket, along with a powder horn and musket balls.

No, it is historically inaccurate... They didn't wear leather like this, there is no evidence of it... In reality, they looked like this: avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-zen_doc/1245815/pub_5bd02e21d6d1c400ab426080_5bd048a718f0da00a96e88d6/scale_1200

I tried uploading Saving Constance way back in the day, but got a copyright violation from BBC (most likely because it had an actual scene) and that didn't allow it to be visible. There's a chance copyright expired, but will need to track down the vid.

@@hermioneonice Cool thank you. And I'll keep looking for "Creating Their World".

@@NicoAngelus So I found the video, but copyright claim is still there. I can post it here as a gdrive link/dropbox?

@@hermioneonice Oh yeah that'd be awesome thank you!

Phoebe and director Toby Haynes said they were trying to get away from the old idea of musketeers in flouncy hats and feathers (1:12) but that's probably exactly what a Halloween costume would be. Not sure the weathered leather is readily available. Maybe some day :)

@@hermioneonice Actually I was thinking I'd have my three characters wear really long Red Cross shirts owned by a parent who works there, with belts to make them look like tunics. I'd throw in the hats and beards.

@@jakebastian6726 If they're all red, it might cause some confusion since that's the cardinal's color. But I leave the details in your capable hands :).

@@hermioneonice Cardinal's color?

@@jakebastian6726 Yes, the Red Guards are his bodyguards and the main villains for the first two seasons of this series (and in the books). So maybe a white tee shirt with a small red cross would be a better choice of costume for Musketeers.

Tom Burke - Athos, Santiago Cabrera - Aramis, Howard Charles - Porthos and Luke Pasqualino - D'Artagnan

they are the new and improved rebooted musketeers that just makes them better!

Johnny Delgado The original musketeers are the best.

Igor leather was a very well used form of armor and do to metal armor being so heavy and making you move slow it is easy to believe in fact they did wear leather also since almost every musketeers pics we have they usually look like they are wearing leather as well

the only leather real Musketeers wore was the belt, gloves and shoes, some 17th century Musketeers did wear leather jacks over their normal wool clothing for general protection from swords, the woollen buff coat was much more popular among Musketeers, Leather jacks were preferred by Horsemen who more frequently engaged in melee. Leather won't protect you from much, Bullets will kill you no problem, Thrusts from melee weapons will be no problem, blunt impact, no problem, only slashes will be slowed down a bit meaning it might not do as much damage, but a well timed and well placed slash would get through. The original clothing of the Musketeers looked much cooler the show kind of ruined it. think of all the disadvantages of leather too, must get pretty hot, dark boring colours.

Yorkshireman well the colors in the t.v. show was really nice they had red blue brown and black and leather was one of the first forms of armor idk where you got your info from but leather is great against swords and arrows yes a bullet will go thru but just like an arrow and sword is slows the force down so it doesn't go in very deep in those days stopping it an inch or two inches can very much save your life while leather is harder to enter the body but yet cotton has been known to kill you cuz it's so hard to get out of the body with out leaving a few pieces still in there and that's how you get an infection

Eric G. L. PINZELLI Their attitudes don't strike me as 17th century-like either, more like good actors in a show made to appeal to modern audiences. I could be wrong though.

I cringed hard when I was watching that slavery = racism episode
