    Suits - Pre 1920

    No, it is rather large for that time period (size 40-42).

    Patton leads German troops against USSR?

    I'd think that this hypothetical German "continuation war" would have been mainly to keep the German populated Eastern parts of the Reich. It certainly would have had the backing of the German population there, considering the expulsion and mass murder they faced there in the shadow of surrender.

    Yes, the pockets have a slight angle. German jackets sometimes have interior pockets made in the "British manner" (sans fabric tongue that is). This Czech sportcoat differs from British jackets insofar that is has interior chest pockets on both sides - like the Germans.

    Patton leads German troops against USSR?

    Motivation within the German army to fight off the "Bolshevik hordes" was high up to the very end. When the ground war came fully to Germany proper, the Germans fought tooth and nails against the Soviets, while the Western armies (after the last major battles in the West of Germany) rumbled...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    1910's German suit. Note the fancy fabric with multiple patterns and colors. What year would you guesstimate this to be?

    Czech sportcoat. Likely early 1950's - tailor-made in Budweis. Rather stiff, but smooth surfaced, heathered camel-colored wool twill. Welted pockets and short double vents. Fishmouth lapels pressed to the middle button. I have yet to finish the let out sleeves.

    30-40's Vtg. German DB blue ropestripe suit Sz. 40 (EU 50)

    A top-notch German ca. 1936-1940's tailor-made DB suit. Made in Kornwestheim, near Stuttgart. Dark blue soft worsted with white ropestripes. Excellent condition apart from minor, unimportant mending on the back of the waistband (where the waist has been let out). Invisible when worn. The back...

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

    It's actually dark grey and light grey tweed. Regarding the shirt and tie... I think it also works well because of the texture/fabric of the flanell shirt and wool tie.

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

    It's now with a friend in Munich who fits perfectly into it - it's his first vintage suit. Size 56 Long with a narrower waist but wide chest. The almost 69 cm sleeves and the back would have been too long for you, while the trousers would have needed a wedge, as you will remember. But I might...

    Patton leads German troops against USSR?

    It was Soviet duplicity, breach of trust and expansionism that ended naive American hopes regarding post-war cooperation. Argueably the occasion Soviet duplicity and expansionism finally became apparent to Truman and Byrnes, was the Soviet refusal to withdraw its troops from Northern Iran...

    I have a pair of Finnish trousers that have tunnel loops and slanted side pockets. That's why I was thinking about a Scandinavian background. TT, regarding the shoulder shape. In German fashion the periodization is roughly: 1933-1936 hollow shoulders (like a slight "pagoda") 1937-1940 very...
