    Suits - Pre 1920

    1920s suits

    Awesome Deal on LVC 1930s Fair Isle Sweaters For Taller Guys

    German work / Luftwaffe trousers

    i asked the seller about the size of the trousers and they're a 38" waist, 34" inside leg. also, perhaps one of the Germans can let me know if these items are politically dodgy ?
