British 30s-40s DB suit on U.S. ebay
Suit arrived today. What a good purchase I made here! The fit is perfect in every single detail. As if made for me. It's not too often I can wear a jacket or trousers without leaving out the cuffs.- Fastuni

Show off the sports coats.
This suit coat is 1950's. I'd say ca. 1956-58. -
What are you wearing today??
Great combination Metatron. The red and green accessoires with the fair-isle sweater make it quite appropriate for this occasion. I am sure I mentioned it before... but have you thought about a vintage (style) glasses-frame?- Fastuni

1930s perfection: belt back german sports coat
It's certainly a good sportcoat for early Spring and Autumn. A medium between the very light summer sportcoat and the very heavy winter sportcoat:- Fastuni

1930s perfection: belt back german sports coat
Edit: Why must all three Euro-suits/sportcoats I bought recently be from the US? The costum fees are going to be brutal. :eusa_doh:- Fastuni

Unusual tailcoat with velvet shawl collar?
I didn't want to suggest that it is horrible - just unususal. Shawl-collar/lapel tailcoats I know... but not with velvet. That's what I find intrigueing.- Fastuni

Unusual tailcoat with velvet shawl collar?
What on earth is this about? A tailcoat with velvet shawl collar... Appears to be 1930's. I can't think of a purpose for this garment other than maybe a stage costume (a magician?)...- Fastuni

On Ebay: 30s/40s DB Suit, 40-42 LONG
What planet are you living on? :confused: I am in Germany... the listing is by Orgetorix himself who is in Kentucky... that's what the Classifieds are for. A place for members to buy and sell items of interest. No one cares whether you have a 1980's suit that has pleats and wide lapels... you...- Fastuni

On Ebay: 30s/40s DB Suit, 40-42 LONG
Great suit orgetorix! To begin with the modern Penney suit has tiny lapels while the 1940's vintage suit has huge lapels. Also the fabric is different... as is the cut and everything else except that both are double-breasted. :rolleyes: And the pants are even more different. To most...- Fastuni

Bruckner and Meister 1937
Yup - and it's now returning home to Germany. :) The pants shared the sad fate of many German 30's suits: tapered down during the 50's to narrow 9 inches and the excess cut off. Also the cuffs were apparently turned in. I will gently let out the legs to 10.5 inches and make faux cuffs... -
Show us your British suits
You know British suit construction better than me... you are probably right that it would be better to leave the fold as it is.
