LEBESTO german leather coat dark green (ww2) ?
These type of wrap-around motorcyclist leather coats were produced from the 30's to 60's in Germany and Austria. They are extremely common civilian and not military items. I would date this one to the 1950's. -
Was there a "Fox News" back in the day?
If you seriously want to suggest that FOX News is the "true channel for the truth" I can only heartily laugh. I'd do so if anyone claims the same for almost any other media venue - I'm very even-handed about this. ;) Each of them has a political agenda of some sort... the critical mind...- Fastuni

To see more of the shirt and tie. Think of them as knit waistcoats.- Fastuni

FS: Early 1920's German two-piece suit.
It was more on the medium/narrow side... I think around 23 or 24 cm with some angle (longer at the back, shorter on the front) if I am not mistaken.- Fastuni

FS: Early 1920's German two-piece suit.
May I add that this suit certainly is from ca. 1925-30. The jacket cut is too short and not flared enough for the early 1920's. As the previous owner I can assure you that this suit has an amazingly supple fabric - something like a moleskinesque Barathea.- Fastuni

@jamespowers lol Where did I (or anyone else here) ever claim to like only stripes and dots or that I think 30's brocades are "loud" and "garrish"? :eusa_doh: Either you (again) misread or you are being facetious... :rolleyes: Of course the brocades you posted are lovely and the kind of tie...- Fastuni

@Kahuna Interesting poem by John Tarnowsky. While the message certainly is agreeable for the Bold Look proponents, keep in mind that it predates the Bold Look by at least 12 years. The author had ties in mind that were of the 20-30's variety of "wild". ;) Source...- Fastuni

I qualified it with "almost" - but indeed I was writing under the assumption that also the "all over" designs of the Bold Look era were meant to be worn with two-piece suits (the waistcoat/sweater under the suit having fallen mostly out of use) featuring long, low cut lapels revealing most of...- Fastuni

What does it say about a "Bold Look" tie though, if it looks better mostly hidden, when it was intended to be shown (almost) in it's entirety? But as was said before the tie is only a part of the entire outfit. A "Bold Look" tie (of course not all were cheesy or gaudy - some were quite nice -...- Fastuni

As long as both are "vintage" (1920-40's) I am fine with them. ;) A tie not only consists of pattern. :nono: If one can't see differences in fabric, weave, color and cut one is still stuck at an extremely superficial level. If stripe equals stripe regardless of any other factor, I guess...- Fastuni

:eek: Well certainly nothing subtle about your post. I guess we have to read it in the spirit of your previous remark which I agree with: Now if clownish, garish, gaudy... pardon "bold" ties are your preference... :icon_smil Plebeian, vapid rubes like myself will probably never understand...- Fastuni

No marks other than the 825 (sure about that). There indeed is 825 silver - which along with 800 is "Continental".- Fastuni

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
Broccoli I am very happy for you - both suits fit perfectly! The ADEFA suit is 1934-1938 - the timeframe when it was denoting "Deutsch Arisch" instead of only "Deutsch" (as was the case 1933 and 1939, the year ADEFA was dissolved). Of course I am particularly glad that you like the peak-lapel... -
How often do you dress vintage/vintage inspired?
Daily and 90% originals. Only a few shirts and shoes are reproductions. I don't have any modern clothes (except some trash-wear for chores).- Fastuni

Exactly. I do think however that (a continued) different "cultural" style preference also is at play. As the historical material informs us, the attempt to sell Bold Look ties ("Yankee parrot fashion" as it was called) to the European market around 1950 fell flat. What is "boring and dull"...- Fastuni
