Beautiful.
The names are definitely German, but without photos of the label and details of the interior and pant waist construction one can't say for sure. They could have been German speaking immigrants.
Splendid outfit. You have great suits and assecorize them very well.
However you really need to get two or three proper hats. I suggest a grey Homburg, a grey Snapbrim/Fedora and a black Bowler/Derby.
The hat you made without sweatband and ribbon honestly doesn't do justice to the rest of...
Hm.
While indeed it doesn't roll to the middle button, I think it looks better with the top button open.
Maybe because I simply prefer the look of a three button SB closed only at the middle.
If you close the top it seems to pull rather awkwardly...
Compare...
I personally would...
I wouldn't mind if the waist is about a size or two too wide... as it is a fairly modern jacket it lacks the typical nipped waist (as can be seen by the rear view).
By taking in the waist it will be more close to the 30's style.
I don't think that's the case with this jacket. The edge pulls quite at the middle button... hard to put it in words.
Metatron, could you maybe post a photo of the jacket when worn only with the middle button closed?
Nick, great work. I notice you made for your 30's spearpoint collars quite high stands... a bit taller than what I know usually of 30's collars.
I assume this is done on purpose to fit your neck?
"Murray's Superior" is in my experience by far the best to tame thick, strong hair.
I have such hair and the soft pomades don't hold them down for long. Some "cement" is required.
But I never use "Murray's" straight - I mix it with some vaseline (a big fingertip Murrays with two fingertips...
Described as Size L...
I think a great everyday jacket in 30's style for little money.

Nice!
If it were up to me, I'd remove the elbow patches and throat latch and change the buttons for light brown corozo suit buttons to give it a more typical 30's feel.
Well, one certainly can say that it is very typical of the German school of tailoring (also the trouser construction, the cut-in piped pockets and exterior elastic side-straps), which was largely followed in Eastern Europe.
Here I'd apply the law of probability. As most such suits come from...
Nice cut and single-button DB arrangement.
It is certainly German. All the details are commonly found on German suits.
I'd date it as likely post-war (1946-1952), but it might be late-30's.
