20's/30's contrasting trousers
I've got a pair of good condition cream white, cuffed German 1920's trousers that are too small for me. They are like something between a sturdy worsted and flanell (similar weave but without the nap). If you fellas are interested I will photograph it and take measure. -

Calling all Germans. (Living in todays Germany if possible)
Of course not a problem at all. Why would it be? Black shirts are perfectly normal garments worn by countless Germans every day. Enjoy your stay - where are you going?- Fastuni

Nazi V2 archival documents found
The "daily mail" story is utter nonsense and total bogus! I am disgusted how shamelessly the "daily mail" is making up stories. That so many "readers" uncritically buy this sensationalist baloney is quite sad. shakeshead As several of the comments below the article point out, the documents... -

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
Yes, thanks - that's how it is called. Here another German three-piece SB. A charcoal-marengo peak lapel "afternoon & evening" suit from ca. 1938-41. The cut is perfect - of course I'd have preferred a lighter grey, but I wear this one a lot. It is sturdy but comfortable. "Peek &... -

After half a dozen Ulster coats, finally a period German SB Paletot with covered buttoning. The fabric is wool & cashmere blend. The label is by LACO (Lavy Company) a Hamburg-based company founded by a British Jew named Charles Lavy in 1838 as a silk manufacturer. It is the oldest tie... -
Do flat caps make you look like a brainless servant?
Have a look at old photos and ads. Flatcaps were worn (mainly) for sports and casual occasions by all classes from the aristocracy down. As part of their daily work clothes it was of course prevalent among the working classes (and there is truely no shame to that). Today you have even wealthy... -

Papperskatt, this is very exciting! Congratulations that some of the finds even fit you. The DB short coat is nice and certainly quite old. As to the stitched numbers... I have seen dates on German suits stitched in exactly that manner. Now if you find anything wearable in size 38-40... -

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
I'd assume it was made to fit a costumer with a rather short torso. If fits me well... as mentioned more like what is nowadays called a "classic cut" (not modern low rise). No relations that I know of... and no - we aren't a cartel that has distributed Germany, Britain and America amongst us. :D -

German summer DB ca. 1938-50. Tailormade in Ascheberg Holstein, the far North of Germany. Light brown&cream heathered Fresco with black&white pinstripes. Relatively low trouser rise (sitting like a modern "classic" cut trouser below the gut)! The cuffs have been extended as "faux cuffs"... -

Here the 1937 dated "Brückner & Meister" suit I received from Damian. I have let out the legs from the tapered down 24 cm to acceptable 27 cm. I guess it originally was more like 29 cm. Also the jacket has been taken in along the original side seams. It now fits me perfectly and has a... -
Guerra cashmere fedora
Hm. You could try gathering 60 people before placing the order. Might be worth a try, or not? I would be in for a greyish/silvery one. -
German & Austrian Hutmachers
Interesting ephemera! Do you know what a "Riviera" looked like? I also wonder in what timeframe Rockel used this script? It would help dating my Rockel Homburg a bit more precisely... it has the same style of writing. -
Guerra cashmere fedora
Beautiful! That's a great price. So I understand you right that the project is stil ongoing and it will be a taller crown than on the photos? That would be wonderful.
