Adult Costumes for Men : How to Create a '50s Costume for Men

[iYDGn]

He looks THRILLED...

[deadneck13]

There are so many things wrong with this video. I'll start at the bottom and work my way up. Those boots are totally wrong. You should be wearing black Chuck Taylors or actual engineer's boots (square toed boots without laces).  The jeans are completely wrong. They're not nearly dark enough, should have a much longer cuff (at least 4") and that cut is horrible. Straight lines, not lumps. That jacket is crap. Get a real Perfecto-style jacket. You need to shave! Oh, and finally, HAIR GREASE!

[idiotunderthetable]

Also the denim and cuffs are completely wrong...

[lando30001]

2:50, possibly the most forced smile ever.

[RandomBros299]

if i was alive in that period i'd be a greaser

[AGanimeH]

Why a fat kid?

[JustBeatItNow]

cops wear those jackets sometimes

[28grey]

Ouch! I agree with sp00nEg6. It's more than a look, it's a lifestyle...You gotta be rockin'.

[blastedontape]

haha, his mom made him do this video

[sdivine11]

they used hair grease thats the reason they are called greasers

[Tweldofame]

1:00 *stutters* black ceff boots, which are very period for that--s time period 

[Ralphdawgg49]

hairspray? i dont use hairspray ,y layrite pomade keeps my pomp up and good for the day!

[cloak75902]

@Ralphdawgg49 the hairspray is for water bassed pomade

[Ralphdawgg49]

@cloak75902 oh alrighty then!::)

[mens321]

thats a terrible pompadora !

[nedonfunnies]

ive been readin these coments, and i couldnt help but laugh my head off. mostly cuz its all true. this fat creepy lookin lady obviously knows nothing about us. we never use, not have we ever used GEL >.> second, that pomp looks like crap, it looks like my greasy head when i wake up from a night of tossing and turning. also, never use a womans brush you idiot! never use a blow dryer, and lastly, stop trying to be us you GD posers! dang you guys piss me off! every single one of you!

[LBJTV]

Oh c'mon, they could at least have a an attractive model for the video instead of this fatso..no offence but he's just not a model. It puts people off..

[edwards21416]

need to die the jeans dark

[BerkeleyBuilt]

the kid looks like a fucking bully, and his victims would use this video against him to get revenge.

[fivestander]

shitty pomp...

[MPGP390]

The 1940s tutorial looks more like a 1920s worker, the 1950s one is more like a 1960s one and that 1980s one is, well, I don't know what the hell the 1980s one is.

[LAfan818]

Damn you can really tell that he doesn't wanna be there

[Lookup2Wakeup]

Needs to loose some weight to look like the 1950's :-)

[schmendriks]

This douche -stare sasquatch guy makes me aggressive...

[theslickricky]

You all need to chill the fuck out. I'm dressing up as a greaser for Halloween and this was very helpful. Did it ever occur to your dumbasss that people dress up for events? Don't listen to sp00nEg6. If you wanna dress up as a greaser for an event do it. You don't have to actually be a greaser. Fuckin retards man...

[TraCD4real]

......BTW, A pomp can be neat and kind of short ie travolta in grease, it doesn't have to be crazy or hanging in your face. The da can also be neat too. Though my uncles had a spit curl, which was similar to the squiggy character on lavern & shirly. Again, hope this helps.

[TraCD4real]

white , pink, or purple ie squiggy from lavern & shirly. Shoes can range from any type of leatherboot, but motorcycle boots are preffered, and even cowboy boots. Or tennis shoes like black hightop chucks ie squiggy again. Some even wore loafers. You can wear a belt or roll up your pants, but that is optional, not a rule. Trust me, my dad and uncle were greasers, and uncle was part of a gang in Detroit. Hope this helps.

[TraCD4real]

@TraCD4real Greasers wore a variety of jackets like yes, they jeans jacket even though you say not, the motorcyccle jacket ie grease, the bombers jacket ie fonzie, and even windbreakers with the cuffs rolled up and the collars flipped up ie early fonzie look or james dean. Jeans should be warangler, levis, or lee because they were the main brands then. Shirts can be either t-shirt, mostly white, and despit what she said the round collar works as well as v neck. If you want to add a shirt,

[awsnap300]

expert village sucks

[gogdee]

What a dope! She don't know nothing!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheShafenator1]

this is a horrible video.

[Drunckk]

this is more like how to be a WANNABE !!!

better use a shirt of decent quality , darker jeans , bigger curves (curves flipped only 1 time)

the way those curves are done i would rather think how to look like a skinhead lol

and like some say , you don't use gel and hairspray , use a pomade !!! can't  that guy do his pompadour by himself ???

here's a tip : go to some rockabilly / greasers weekends and meetings !

[DerKoenich]

@spOOnEg6

yes your right......"dress up" like a greaser is fake.

a greaser must have the beat of rock´n roll in his heart i think

so fuck up costume B**CH

[notfauxnooz]

Lettermen rarely wore jeans - Lettermen were more in the 'SOC' group and would not werar jeans and boots. The Bad boy look was certainly with jeans and boots, so you have that right. But, my god - you're using GEL and hairspray on this poor guy! UGH!. Use a good pomade like Murrays or Black&White. You can't recomb that gel crap without getting POOF hair.

[cutefishyz]

50s style looks gay !

[leeminho22687]

FAG-REASER...NOT A GREASER....greasers use BIKER leather jackets, specifically SCHOTT PERFECTO 118 AND 618....they use DARK BLUE JEANS, and their cuffs are big, and wear WINKLE PICKERS/DRESS SHOES, NOT BOOTS....LOL AND GREASERS ARE THIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[waserman123]

omg worst greaser vid ever!!!!!! the only thing that was right was the way she did the guys hair but you only do this wen ur first starting out with a pompadour to train it to go back, and she finished the hair off something horrible, it was the most horrible vid, i was cringing threw the whole thing lol

[TheLastDuellist]

That leather jacket doesn't fit right on him... too big.

[ou812bass]

haha i bet Cody lost some kinda bet and had to do this video! haha he needs to do some sit ups!

[blacklthrpants2002]

That smooth lambskin leather zipper bomber jacket looks better. Hope it covers his beer belly. hehehehehehe...

Now, if only I knew which store that leather jacket came from...I would like one for myself...

I see he's auditioning for a Grease cameo, can he sing?

[TBCKREW822]

3:20 OUCH!!

[FloridaMustang1988]

Man are you crazy u can´t use heavyweight gel use pomade you fuck

this clip is like shit and who is this poor guy!

You have no idea of the 50´s Greaser look!

[lucastheblue]

@FloridaMustang1988 You're right. I don't use heavy weight gel, it hardens and can

hurt and I use pomade it is much easier.

[cloak75902]

@FloridaMustang1988 i hafe to agree pomade was the only thing that was able to be held in the 50s so it was just pomade and hair spray

[toothpock]

I dont know how I stumbled on to this. however, If tough bad boys from the 50s used hair dryers to do their hair then I am sorry to say they are fucking GAY!!!!!!

[TrojanJerichoVI]

Poor Guy.

[JGMagoo]

For SURE, ditch the ear rings!!! Only complete creeps wore ear rings in the

50's!

[nivlick]

Nice work looks great and the ideas not bad too

[misshoneymoon1]

it seems to me that there is a lot of people (like myself) that are into the 50's rockabilly/greaser thing and i know that i do not wear i poodle skirt every damn day. Doing stuff like this kind offends me.

[kevinfanofthebeatles]

horrible!!!

good DuckTail tho

[trojanhomie06]

lmao at the guy

[sp00nEg6]

Poor kid...

I hate it when people "dress up" as a greaser. If you're gonna be a greaser BE A GREASER. Dont act as one.

Other than that, kill the boots, that jacket, and make those cuffs a little bigger. Just give the kid a black shirt, a bandana, and some Chuck Taylors.

[vin8162005]

thats a nice leather jacket though

[cobysev]

@sp00nEg6 These are 50's Greasers, not 80's Greasers. And this is a video for costume making, not for people who want to actually be Greasers.

[sp00nEg6]

@cobysev Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know anything...

[cloak75902]

@cobysev i dont think ther wher many greasers in the 80s

[cloak75902]

@sp00nEg6 boots stay because greaser are known for being bikers and thecuffs if they are any bigger they would be consedered a square

[sethplaysdrums]

wow this is possibly the gayest video on youtube.

[80aussiepride08]

ignor these ppl. that was good.

[docsublett]

thanks that helped me dont listen to these stupid people

[DickDaggeronthetube]

this was shitty

[tarifuddin]

wtf?

[funkyyyfreshh]

horrible!

[nestleife]

I think they need a better model and designer or what ever that ugly ass lady was.

[divdawgd]

thats embarresing..

[GreaseLightnin94]

Gel? Puh-lease. You should pomade or hair oils. Olive oil works good.
