Flattering laces flat: A tail of strapping on your shoes with a touch of panache
Bunch of vintage German flat laces I found. The top one are interesting... they are elastic and have a button to secure them at the bottom lace-hole. You don't have to string your shoes, but can just slip in.- Fastuni

Thank you. It is my preferred garment for warm weather. Indeed I wear it often with a spread collar shirt.- Fastuni

You might be thinking of this one.... it has a single breast pocket. But it is too short for me... I will wear it however with my trusty off-white summer sportcoat!- Fastuni

Colditz
That answer certainly covers it. What I tried to convey was that the terrible ordeal and death of millions of Soviet POWs - most already in the first seven months after "Barbarossa" (certainly rightly described as one of the "most concentrated mass killings in history") is largely overlooked... -

Show us your TIES
Back to topic boys... ties! :rolleyes: Tasteful ties without any fiddling cowboys or Kindergarten doodles. :happy: These two are German rayon ties I found in a box full of used ties. I will have to shorten the edge of the left one, as it has some damage. Greenish ties are quite hard to...- Fastuni

Colditz
Where did I say that Colditz was a concentration camp? :confused: My point was that a lack of awareness among the general public about places like Colditz is something I wouldn't worry about too much. (Also in reference to Foxer55's insinuation that Germans feign ignorance about Colditz for... -
The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits
I'm sure this one will clean up nicely... pure linen and white - liberal use of gall soap, bleach and oxy-cleaner will do the trick. -
Colditz
As opposed to the majority of the British or American public? Colditz is one of those things about WW2 that is known by the somewhat more historically interested - not the general public. It is also a rather minute detail as opposed to places like Auschwitz or the other major... -

What are you wearing today??
If you strive for the look of the era... please get a hair-cut and shorten down the sides. It will make a big difference.- Fastuni

The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits
Removing braid is no problem... unflapped piped pockets are fine for normal suits. Leaves the lapels... on many tuxedos there is no normal suit fabric beneath the silk/grosgrain lapels. Finding matching fabric is almost impossible. Anyway, black suits are not that rare either IMO (depends on... -
The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits
I am glad that this suit found the right wearer and is being put to good use. :) -
A. Marchesan - Swedish mens vintage store with hundreds of 30s, 40s & 50s suits.
Broccolis 3000 SEK suit was late 50's. The 30-40's stuff (particularly more "fancy" ones) are certainly a league above that. As mentioned a black 30's overcoat is priced at 4500 SEK.- Fastuni

On Facebook they have an example of a grey 1950's three-piece suit, priced 4500 SEK or 485 Euros. Broccoli have you ever bought a suit there?- Fastuni

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
If it comes across you'll know it! Indeed I found a perfect German trenchcoat (50's) recently - but from Bavaria and my size 40. :) Photos come soon.- Fastuni

The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits
The British DB is lovely. I'm not sure that it is a demob, though. The high button stance and silhouette suggest a 1930's date IMO. The "mismatched" tweed is an interesting combination, but to be honest looks a bit too much like an attempt to create a "suit". The single pieces on their own are...
