    San Francisco street corner on Dec 8, 1941

    Except these are not period color-photos, but recently colorized black&white photos. The choice of colors is guesswork/fantasy. Some of them are certainly realistic and probable. Others are rather fancy and IMO not entirely convincing (the purple suit and matching hat i.e... maybe this was just...

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    Rust-colored Harris Tweed... probably British tailored - but could be German. The label indicates mid-1940's to 50's. Classical 1930-40's cut, though. Fits me perfectly. I replaced the leather buttons with German corozo buttons.

    Thanks guys. Yes there are still some good finds to be made out there. Metatron, this was certainly made this way on purpose. It was a late-30's early-40's fashion in Germany/Europe at least, to make such combinations. Here not identical but similar... checked coat with striped trousers:

    Why Winston had no cash

    According to contemporary German assesments there was political pay-off for Churchill's private bail-out: The Moravian Jewish banker Strakosch paid Churchill's bills in 1938, which supposedly had a part in easing the way for former Czech PM Benes in gaining considerable political clout in his...

    The crowning final trophy of a sucessful vintage-hunting year. 1930's German sport-suit. Caramel herringbone - solid trousers but rust windowpane on jacket. Needs a good cleaning, some mends and the elastic in the back needs to be reattached.
