The tailor, 25, said: “It’s hard for men to show exuberance. But I love what I do and do it for my enjoyment.”
Typical daywear is knee-high riding boots, waistcoat, jacket and tails.
Zack often sports a top hat and cane to shops.
But he does admit owning a pair of M&S pants.
At 14 his family found his great-grandfather’s old suits while moving home.
To Zack’s glee they fitted. He said: “I decided to burn my only jeans on a bonfire. It was a real turning point.
“On non-school uniform days I would dress in three-piece suits.
“When I got to sixth form I’d dress in historical clothing every day. I was surprised to be voted best dressed in the leavers’ book.”
Zack, from West Sussex, designs and sews his outfits. Some take a year to perfect.
Rough guide to Regency
IN the Regency period (1811-20) “mad” George III was deemed unfit to rule because of his illness.
His son the Prince Regent took over and became George IV when his dad died in 1820.
FOOD: “Exotic” pineapples were a centrepiece on dinner tables of the rich.
CELEBRITY: Young women carried portraits of poet Lord Byron to swoon over.
ENTERTAINMENT: Murder scenes drew crowds.
FASHION: Women shunned underwear under gowns.
He added: “People in the street are almost always positive.”
Zack, who is in a relationship, has a legion of online fans and even gets marriage proposals.
He added: “I think women want someone who cares about his presentation and appearance.”
