    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Thanks! The Hückel has a white liner with a very worn down and oxydized Hückel Logo. Because of the bad condition I removed the liner and put it in a plastic cover.

    Richard Warren, my thoughts exactly. Trumbo was one of thoose obedient Communists, who weren't just fellow-travelling "anti-fascist" WW2 apologists of the USSR, but one who also defended Stalin both during the Hitler-Stalin pact and after WW2, when Communism was extending it's stranglehold...

    Camelhair sportcoat size 40L, patch pockets, ventless, 1930s repro

    If there is the sleeve allowance Rudi needs, I will pass and let him have it. It's not as if I am short on sportcoats.
