    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    I find it appealing because it's a bit more "exotic" in provenance. But the condition is quite bad... not worth the price for me.

    Show us your British suits

    The two part facings are perfectly normal. I have seen this on many European suits... just a way of avoiding waste at cutting.

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    I have handled so far three German suits with DB waistcoats without lapels. Period illustrations also suggest that it certainly wasn't in unusual, though of course rare compared to normal SB fare.

    German flag WWII ??

    I also don't think this is any sort of official Third Reich item... could be from some youth gang (1930's to 60's?) or for post-war theatrical purposes (to avoid using the swastika or sig-runes or for a fictionalized dictatorship). The obvious question: what's the provenance - where did you get...

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    White cotton jersey shirt with double breast pockets. It is a newer shirt (80's or 90's deadstock) that I altered by adding 1930's buttons and reshaping the collar to give it spearpoints. Makes for a nice summer leisure shirt.

    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    If one insists on utilizing a tuxedo (a formal garment to be worn with a definite set of certain ascessoires) as a normal suit with brown shoes and a colorful patterned bowtie, "rules" of any sort are out of the window. That being said: the "blue" of the tuxedo is midgnight-blue... which...

    1930's Spearpoint Collars German NOS Deadstock 38 - 43 cm

    The Nazi Gold Train

    Robin Lumsden, who writes collectors guides to Third Reich/SS militaria and is a respected authority in collector circles, states this in his book "The Allgemeine - SS". Diebitsch and Heck designed a lot of other stuff for the SS, too. Which is exactly what your claim is. Now is your "source"...

    The Nazi Gold Train

    You can't be serious... :eusa_doh: The black SS uniform was designed by the SS officers Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck. Hugo Boss, a party member, got the first contract to produce the uniforms. The SS officers and bigwigs of course didn't have to resort to factory produced uniforms, but had...

    The Nazi Gold Train

    When will this myth ever die? Boss didn't design anything. The uniforms were designed by the respective organizations themselves, and continued German uniform traditions while accounting for contemporary fashion preferences. Boss was a workwear/sportswear/uniform manufcaturer back then that...
