    Rare German 1940-50's dark navy Curdoroy sport-jacket. Red plaid cotton liner. Outstanding condition. A very comfortable leisure jacket. Zippers by OPTI and HECO. Elasticated back, half-belt on front. Faux back pleats. Size is a US 44-46 and thus too large for me.

    The Humble Anorak.....

    German 1930's Anorak by "Sport Schuster - Munich" in unworn condition. A holy grail of sorts and size 52 (US 42), too! Zippers with DRP (German Reich Patent) - Zipp markings. Brown corozo buttons. Brass casings for the drawstring. Crotch-strap for intense weather. Ingenious buckles for...

    The edge trimming is silky lining material, actually.

    Nice coat with interesting labels. The shortened length can be from any time... I guess wartime/postwar due to worn off edges. I have 1940 tailoring instructions on how to make short coats out of long ulsters. Saving material and reusing garments to the maximum was of course wartime policy in...

    I don't know more about this tailor. There were (fortunately) so many of them. It is without any doubt second half of 1930's.

    Great sportcoat. Really lovely. The small damages can be darned well - thanks to the busy pattern. The buttons work fine. It is certainly interesting that there is an elastic band beneath the belt-back. A bit redundant - but HBK years ago also showed a probably German sportcoat with these...

    Alas it has been sold yesterday. Is this roughly your size? I can check whether I have other period garments.

    Sometimes rhese lapels had metal stays or long steel needles. Snaps are a good solution though.

    It is tailor-made and has the typical features of British tailoring: one interior chest pocket, one trouser rear pocket. I assume the large interior extra pocket was for documents or maybe a bag of tobacco.

    Show us your British suits

    My new favorite suit (and go-to suit for office/town) is this conservative British 1950's beauty. It has all the hallmarks of late-30's and 40's tailoring (wide straight legs, nipped waist and broad shoulders). Unusually for British tailoring it has the bunny-ear suspender straps, typically...
