Adam recently completed a build of the royal St. Edwards crown inspired by the one worn on stage for Hamilton, and he pairs that prop with a full King George costume he commissioned from Chad Evett! It's Adam's first time trying on the full getup--crown, cape, and all--and we take the costume for a photo shoot at the beautiful Sydney Goldstein theater in San Francisco to see what it looks like on stage!

From 1 Adam to another and being from the UK the green clip tale definitely makes you look like a royal

HOLY COSTUME
@Capitan Classic it was terrorism. Literal terrorism.
There`s a British youtubeclip of how they made a copy of the real Henry Vlll crown... Some cool `how to `tips there. 🤓
you need a 360 camera so we can follow you work and feel like we're in the your shop with you.
Up votes for Carol Burnett's costume designer, Bob Mackie, who upon seeing the script came up with the idea of putting the curtain rod into that costume. The jokes aren't nearly as good without that curtain rod.
I was gonna be upset if he didnt sing a few lines ...
Look out Groff he's coming for your job
Missing Adams Comic-Con costumed appearances. This is a worthy replacement *thumbs up*
manque plus que le sceptre .. j'adore le costume
Am I the only one who finds it hysterical ... that a pair of plastic horn rimmed glasses truly make the whole costume come together?
Love the clamp in the back. Great idea never would have though of that.
Subtitulo en español
Is this test crown for sale. I collect royal crowns and tiaras . Would love to own this 💖
I remember when Chad first told me about making that costume. I made him his original crown and scepter. Fun times. Glad the costume is in good hands now! Go Adam!!!
I feel like a Knighthood should be placed on you at least, Sir Adam Savage has a good ring to it.
All hail King Adam I of Savage Industries
Adam's enthusiasm and excitement is more contagious than COVID! Beautiful Costume!! Cheers! Zip~
Proud to say Chad was my roommate until a month ago, and we had a lot of fun cosplaying and shh, don't tell Adam, but I wore his King George outfit before he did! 😂Chad is amazing and so talented and utterly focused. He works all day long every day and it shows! Congrats, Chad!
I’m from England and I’ll be more than happy to have this king.
I say, Adam makes for a fine royal :-)
Unbelievable :-) !!!! Your Royal Majesty Adam Savage´s the first of Mythbusters grace !!!!
Who is the photographer these are such beautiful pictures and edits!
Adam Savage is gradually turning into Pascal Sauvage!
Adam rapidly costuming up the social ladder xD From Knights to Kings!
Great video! you and Chad are very talented creators
King savage
Really shocked me that you didn't bring up ermine fur not alot people know about it
I have the honour to be your obedient servant, A dot Chad. A dot Sav...
"All Hail his royal majesty king Adam of San Francisco, Lord of Cosplay's and builds" 👏👏👏👏👏😁
Ah, his majesty looks raveshing today
Adam: (puts on puffy shirt) I would dress like this everyday Me: you *really* need to make friends with Bernadette Banner
King Nothing! ;) lololol looks awesome luv it!
Long live the king of rejecting our reality and substituting his own!
I like the costume quality & the ideas for a tour prop. When I watched both episodes-the Coronation Crown & the Costume-I wanted to know more about the play. Being more familiar with the “Madness of King George” the movie, I believe that the King may have been poisoned by a metal oxide in a conspiracy-Secret Societies, etc. When I looked up “Farmer George” & looked at the several portraits, the King only wore the Coronation Crown once. He likely wore the State Crown only when opening Parliament & the Imperial Crown wasn’t made yet. You called the Crown, a Hat several times & it’s funny because; King George really only wore hats. His Military Uniforms in Dress Red had Lintzen. His Naval Dress Blue was a model for the early American Continental Army & his hat was that of a Field Marshal’s or an Earl Marshals, with the King’s Rank Insignia. His Royal Badge is the same worn by Queen Elizabeth II. It would be fun to recreate King George’s uniforms, but also his Farmer’s Dress. King George III was a farmer & he raised his own crops. In the movie “the Madness of King George” he’s portrayed wearing a weathered Tricorne Hat. In King George’s most famous portrait, he wore a Gold Cape & only a powdered wig on his head. I looked up Crowns too! King Louis XIV’s crown is difficult to pin down. They credit the crown to the Dauphin & King Louis XV. The Third French Republic sold off the French Crown Jewels to avoid a coup d’etat & I believe the Second Duke of Winchester bought what he could find in New York after a second sale. What remains of the French Crowns is in the Louvre. There are also very intricate Russian Imperial Crowns. I have not looked up the German Crowns or the Hapsburg Crowns. Related to King George III & later to Kings George IV & V, there were thefts of the French Crown Jewels-we have Legends about diamonds on the Titanic-also legends about the Hope Diamond. I’m very excited to draft some ideas for screenplays; I’m not much of an accomplished writer, but that won’t stop me. Your challenge is an awesome one & there are excellent opportunities to make props. Emperor Charlemagne’s Crown was drawn by an artist & we all know how easy it would be to make Julius Caesar’s Crown made gold by Napoleon Bonaparte. Super awesome-I loved the episodes!
Please don't do Cosplay of Thai's king.
Coming up next on Tested : Adam Savage creating his own wax stamp.
Best. Joke. Ever!!!!!!!!
He did this RIGHT UNDER THE "DRESSING/UNDRESSING PROHIBITED" SIGN!!
The shoes in the photo shoot at the end were different from the ones during the reveal. Why?
"It's good to be the king." --Mel Brooks
you look good Adam :D
there are people out there that say puns are the lowest form of humor but I believe it is the greatest. it is democratized laughter, even if you groan at it you are still amused by it. And anyone can do it and do it well.
Adam, send this to Lin!! i bet it'll blow his mind!!
12:23 Adam, Washington was 6'2" (Christopher Jackson who played Washington in the OBC is a good reference point, Chris is the same height as GW)
Not to get picky, but I think you said King George III (you've just written King George in the description). He was from the House of Hanover. That was followed by the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha following the death of Queen Victoria. After WW1, that changed it's name to "Windsor" to distance itself from Germany. Side note: I just realized that the House should change after the death of QE2, though I'm not sure to what. Mountbatten?
The delight on Adam's face is just so wonderful.
16:39 Dude..... Nice calves. Who knew Adam had such beautiful legs?!?!
Quite Dapper, Your Majesty!
Seeing Adam with the clamp on his bum really made me feel weird. Someone needs to send him a furrsuit.
That king is such a savage.
WOW those are good photos! The THINGS YOU CAN DO with a professional camera in the hands of an expert! Thank you for adding in that slideshow bit at the end, REALLY tied this whole experience together! My favorite part of that costume is DEFINITELY the jacket... Ahh, the joy a fancy man must feel, being able to simply button a vest and NOT have to button the jacket! (Definitely made me feel a little better about Adam's skinny-privilege', being able to wear the clothes 'off the rack' as it were, when seeing the clamp on the back of the breeches to hold them up LOL - no 'body' is perfect, for everything else, there's tailoring XD) I really do look forward to the potential scepter-build, and DEFINITELY the boxes where these huge, fancy pieces will live! I used to find it irritating and strange that Adam wanted to build boxes for his props he loves, but over the years of watching this channel - and especially after seeing the walkthru of the storage-attic-area - I have come to understand and appreciate the idea! Practically speaking, things NEED boxes to be stored in, and I also now understand that it's part of Adam's process of respecting the item, rather like clothing your children - sure there's the FUNCTIONAL aspect, but there's so much more you can DO with clothing than just keep them warm and weather-proof, you can make FASHION STATEMENTS, and that's what Adam's doing with the boxes! Storage Statements! :D
its good to be the king
Loved the posing on the end. Thanks for the laughs Adam!
That Carol Burnett refference. Oh my god! I love you, Addam.
Saw what might be the 'right' design for a case for this, especially if you want it to be both a traveling case, and somewhat period correct for a traveling case, victorian style. At the Jackson Street Transportation Museum in Saint Paul, MN. Steamer trunk, opens left to right, left side has hangar spaces for shirts, trousers, etc. Right side has drawers for undergarments, and stuff you wouldn't hang up. Doubles as a dresser at your destination. I've only the one photo, but willing to share that if interested. I also presume that other's have similar photos, and I doubt if it's something that only happens to be at this museum. Presume that anything you build would be custom to your needs, not a duplicate of course.
Fun fact...I recently did a photo restoration for Windsor castle, and got a letter from the queen thanking me! Highlight of the year!
Looks like you're the master of your domain Carol Burnett joke was delayed laugh with the line only. Then the realization of remembering the scene too funny. Laugh again. Beauty of the internet I had to watch that scene again. Missed opportunity of unnecessary censorship. Pixelated until you get the royal clothes on. All while under a sign, Dressing And Undressing Prohibited. Without the crown and cape, as a prank see, if you can be a Hotel doorman. On the trash can! King of the Trash Heap. Too funny. Is there footage on trying to achieve that? Also Isn't ironic the British tend to have limited enthusiasm to the French, beret wearers?Irony?

HRM, Adam the First, thou art a stunner.
Amazing costume
Hi Adam! Fun anecdote... My Great Great Great Grandfather designed King George's Coronation Coach! The huge golden one. The Township of Wilton NH is named after him too; Sir Joseph Wilton.
Adam Savage... you look mahh-velous!
12:15 - he's coming, HE'S COMING, HE'S COMING!
Now just need a mask for the next incognito walk at a con
"Woman dug his snuff and his gallant stroll" absolutely killed me. Glad to know others have the George Washington rap playing on repeat in their head too.
*If it was covered in Diamonds, you would look like Liberace!*
Now you need to make a King's crown to complete the set, and get a Queen's outfit to go with your crown!
All hail the king! Seriously, good costume.
You say, the price of my love's not a price that you're willing to payy
In the photo shoot you should have got some spectacles instead of using your 21th century glasses
I am glad I ran a crossed your channel. Much needed energy in my life.
Love the fact that there is a sign writ large in the background stating “dressing and undressing prohibited” while he tries it on @ 15:12. Best laugh in awhile
12:15 "It's good to be the King..."
You won´t see this, but could you make one day build "chess set". Im wanting to make one and need inspiration :)
the is the crown of the royal family of Great Britain, not just England Adam next time your in London you NEED to visit the Tower and Windsor Castle the Artefacts the will blow your mind
January 6th is also the day I cut my fingers right after my not so successful Databases exam.
"Belt?" no "Suspenders?" no "Clamp?" YES
@chadhatter on instagram. I was so happy to see Adam absolutely love your costume!
It’s Chad’s costume! Or technically, now your costume! Chad is such an amazing costume designer. I’ve had the privilege of working with him in our community theater and his talent was very evident even then. I’m pleased you have the chance to enjoy his work. It looks great on you!
😲 Adam! 😃 Resplendent! (you really look great!) And what a coinkydink your friend Chad just happened to have finished the suit as you were finishing the Crown, haha! Serendipity! 😏 So who besides me saw the thumbnail and thought of the Muppets? 😄
Long live King Savage! 🤴
The Shots YESSSSS!!!!!
PAKIDGE!!!!!
My lord
Looks like he sent you Omaha Steaks.
Every time I watch you bursting with true joy it lifts my spirits considerably. Thank you
Listening to this with Pink floyd Echoes in the background, just like Q. Lizzy is doing with her feet up on the corgis. . off work soon and looking forward to casting.
You really need to make a traditional trunk for this costume! that would look amazing your highness!
Now we can call him the “Cosplay King”
You could also do Londo Mollari from Babylon 5 in that thing too! LOL
I love him going: "does this jacket even button?...yo, do you even lift bro?"
Love it. WOW! That outfit is almost as ridiculous as our royal family! Hahaha amazing! By the way, the crown is worn by the BRITISH monarch, not the English ;) Loved the vid 👍🤡
I love the green handled clamp holding up the pants in the back!
Boy I hope that floor and desk were thoroughly swept before this
My life is pretty sucky, but Adam you warm my heart and make me smile everytime, Thank you
HOLY COSTUME
The madness of King Adam.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS! Especially the end! I was just as excited as you were. Who knew, after watching you make the crown, that this magnificent costume would follow. Thank you!!
I guess that's Hallowe'en 2021 sorted then? :P
What an awesome piece! Adam, you look truly royal, especially with the sideburns 😊. A nit picky thing: I think the pendant is meant to go over the shoulders of the cloak; it would be the last thing to put on. Although I think the one you got might be a little short for that. Perhaps an upgrade?
I plan on visiting the tower, can I borrow the crown for like a week?
Adam's gone full Burnett.
I made a doll cake of that Burnett!
at 9:16 it's Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
