What was the last TV show you watched?
This so called "collective guilt" must be one of the largest logical fallacies. If the people within a dictatorship is guilty for all the regime's misdeeds, then how much more guilty must the population of a "democracy" be for the governments misdeeds? After all the people is supposed to be...- Fastuni

Soviet suits and other garments
From Russian 1930-40's online albums: I notice the preference for very high boots, large square billed caps and fur trimmings. -
Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
Suits for Spring 1941 presented by "Die Textil-Woche" the Berlin periodical for the German clothing industry and trade. These are upper segment ready-made clothes. The strongly nipped waist was going out of fashion, the 2x1 DB got popular. A "novelty" of 1941 was the same-color... -

Soviet suits and other garments
Da! (But with fold-down collar.) Yakov Sverdlov curiously wore his "simple tunic" 1919 with what appears to be a silk tie and a cummerbund (or some very strange corset-belt [huh])... I don't think the Bolsheviks were ever accused of being particularly stylish dressers, for that matter. -
Soviet suits and other garments
Here an interesting excerpt from "Die Textil-Woche" (textile week) from Sept. 13, 1941. This was the largest periodical for the German textile industry and trade. Certainly the intent was also propaganda, the article was published a few weeks after the Soviet-German war began, but even... -
Soviet suits and other garments
A thread to discuss various aspects of civilian textile industry and fashion in the 1920's to 50's Soviet Union. The discussion originated in the "Show us their suits" thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?9860-Show-us-their-suits/page109 Repeating first some aspects mentioned... -

Great color photos. I decided to open a thread specifically for Soviet clothing: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?83008-Soviet-suits-and-other-garments -
Show us their suits
The particularly dire era from the 1920's to the 1950's certainly saw most suits/clothes first worn to rags and then recycled into shoddy wool blends (both under Soviet and wartime German rule). I'm sure not much has survived... and probably there was not much interest to preserve the little... -

Russian/Soviet tailoring certainly was also largely following the "German school". The 30' Munich tailoring periodical "Rundschau" showed a world map for international subscriptions for it's instructions and patterns. Moscow and Leningrad are among them (and all capitals of Eastern/S-Eastern... -
Show us their suits
That's what I meant. One could certainly differentiate between the big "style/tailoring schools" of that era: British, German, French, American. Other countries/regions largely followed one of them. The German school influenced most of continental Europe, particularly Eastern and South-Eastern... -
Show us their suits
Not so sure about the "national differences" back in the day... fashion was already largely international, although the undeniable differences in tailoring details and certain styles allowed to differentiate (at least to those with an eye for it) between the American, British, French and German... -
WWII Leather Jacket.
Yes... 1950's civilian motorcyclist jacket. The price is good. The description is hype... it has no military connection. The zippers are also not 1940's. -
Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
Thanks! I decided to split the post... I hate it when the page makes an inopportune skip. ;) Here the second Loden jacket: no maker-label, only "Reine Wolle" (pure wool). Made from very soft, fluffy Loden. It's comfy like a blanket. -

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
With Oktoberfest time approaching here some German 1930's to early 50's Alpine-style loden sportcoats: Loden sportcoat - sz. 44... too large for me. "Loden Frey Munich" was the eminent German Loden producer and a large men's department store in Munich (it still is). The jacket is of extremely... -

BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
On what grounds would a label like this indicate a more recent date? The late 1940's Harris Tweed label already had a line "100 % pure wool"... also period German garments sometimes had a label "Reine Wolle" (pure wool). -
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
British tailoring didn't greatly change until ca. 1956. You could find 1930/40's style tailoring well into the early 50's. Still I believe the handwriting on the interior pocket is the date: 1942. The style fits. Not all lapels were wide. Possibly there was some sort of alteration done... -
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
Nice Tweed! The numbers seem to suggest both a size 42 (though a 42'' chest on the jacket means a size 40), and a date with the year 1942. Does it fit you? What size do you usually have. No. Perfectly usual for period garments. Padding didn't go away due to wartime rationing. Thankfully.
