    The "Rigepa" internal elastic belt is most frequently found on 50's trousers, but the patent dates back to the mid 1920's!

    Matt is considering it. You'd be next in line. Did you have a chance yet to make the finishing touches to the German garments I sent you? You have a lovely collection and wear them very well.

    New Suit, But What Color?

    Dark blue (but not too dark to be mistaken for black) with a fine pinstripe (not too densely striped but with ca. 2 cm distance) is my recommendation. It is sombre and festive enough for Sunday or other serious occasions, but still more playful than black or charcoal. As a frequent suit-wearer...

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    A similar "horseshoe" crease can be also found on some Western hats. This one seems to combine the "horseshoe" with an "arrow" crease. I've seen it on Bavarian/Austrian photos from the 1910-30's. Seems to have been more popular back then, due to the higher hat crowns.

    German 1930's bespoke tailored sportcoat in ca. Sz. US/UK 44/46. Actually an orphaned suit jacket with a beige-grey herringbone weave separated by very subtle, almost microscopic dark red needlestripes. So subtle that it works great as a sportcoat combined with grey or brown trousers. As you...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    1930's German trenchcoat made from gabardine with additional removable liner. Sz. US/UK 38. Too small for me unfortunately.

    Green Loden hat with very high crown bashed in a distinct Alpine style in Sz. 58 cm (7 1/4 US). I guess 1920's-30's. The original sweat-leather was dissolved, so I replaced it with a matching brown one.

    When did the tacky practice of wearing brown shoes with blue suits become accepted?

    "Back then" (1920's - mid-1950's) it was perfectly acceptable to wear brown shoes with blue suits. Navy or midnight blue, that is almost black, should only go with black leather. From light blue to rich royal blue the combination with brown leather certainly was/is fine. You'll find plenty...

    Help with an approximate time-frame for this French 3pc suit

    There may be enough spare fabric in the side seams or back seam of the jacket to give it a bit more width. Opening the lining at the bottom of the jacket and accessing the seams should be no problem. Bespoke tailored garments back then were usually made with enough "excess" fabric at the...

    Yup. 1970's civilian. East German (VEB label -> public owned factory)

    Help with an approximate time-frame for this French 3pc suit

    Also in my opinion early 1930's (the lapels and silhouette of the jacket, the cut of trousers), with some "old fashioned" details that hark back to the 1910-20's.

    @moderators it seems impossible to edit the headline. Should read US 11.5 not "11.6" of course.
