Any plus four aficianados out there...
It has a jacket, but alas not a proper suit coat, but a short DB Ski-Jacket. It doesn't look good on me.- Fastuni

The house-shoes are from: http://www.pantoffeleck.de/ A tradtional German house-shoe maker holding on the designs from the the early 20th century. They are great and warming, but run about a half size large. I put lambskin insoles into mine.- Fastuni

No creases on the lapels - certainly also thanks to the canvassing of the chest. I took the idea from military tunics, where the chest-pocket flap corners are often fixed by two snap buttons. -

One dart on front, one on back, the inner seam is also darted, while the outer seam has the wedged gap as you can see. Each dart is 5 cm.- Fastuni

Thanks guys, yes the flecked fabric is spectacular. I will post tomorrow a photo of the knickerbockers worn by me. They are a perfect fit for me (36 inches waist) - so I keep them. But I will let you know Pat, if I ever intend to let them go. The kneeband construction is indeed a simple tunnel...- Fastuni

Great work - I like the color and overall cut. But the patch pockets could have been placed lower. Did you order it that way? -

A splendid suit with unusual history: The suit itself is a three-piece DB, tailored from medium-heavy navy-blue white-speckled structure-stripe worsted wool cloth. Fits me perfectly without any alteration. Now the history: Tailored by "Friedrich Jacobskötter, Erfurt" - Erfurt is a city in... -

That combination makes for the most conservative and formal black tie outfit?
The composition you described certainly is the most formal in a 30's context (mostly late 20's to early 30's), but pumps, pearl buttons, white waistcoat and possibly a carnation or even a top-hat would certainly appear rather extravagant, if not gaudy, to most. I interpreted the "conservative"... -
Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Smaller sizes are plentifully found. Overall I have the impression that "skinny" sizes are the norm. At least everything "Medium" among fashionable garments appears to be rather "Small".- Fastuni

That combination makes for the most conservative and formal black tie outfit?
Black SB peak-lapel coat, black waistcoat, trousers with single stripe. WING collar starched marcella shirt (black stud buttons i.e. onyx) with black medium wide bowtie (not too skinny, not too much butterfly). Black laqcue oxfords wholecut or with simple capto6e. No flower but white starched... -

I may have a jacket or a complete suit with the same fabric. Can you show a close-up of the fabric (photo with a button, so I can get the proper dimensions)? So you could complete it to a suit or even have a suit with two pairs of trousers (always a good thing). -

The cuffs are perfectly normal. Some had them, some didn't. Many so called "rules" were often nothing more than fashion recommendations that most people didn't bother with. They are indeed from an early 1950's evening suit or "Sunday suit" - they were cut like normal street suits, but were... -

I don't think so. The more I look at the tie, I think it is 20's. I also had a very ornate flowery brocade LeSi that was rather narrow. The "exotic" silk brocade certainly is rather 20's extravaganza than sobre 50's socialist fare.- Fastuni

"Esta" was founded by a certain Eugen Stanelle in Leipzig. The line "in Verwaltung" (under Administration) suggests that it was made during the transitional period 1949-50's before all larger companies were absorbed into VEB (people owned factories). "LeSi" is a very old Leipzig tie...- Fastuni
