Luxire trousers
The pleats issue is unfortunate, but I agree that there is a bigger issue with the seat. Too much fabric for your bottom. Wearing suspenders might improve the look a bit, but it would be better to have the rear seam take in more of the excess of the fabric.- Fastuni

Brunswick, The cut and fabric is very similiar to the Luftwaffe tunic, but it is neither identical nor an ex-Luftwaffe item. Luftwaffe didn't have scalloped pocket flaps (except on some costum-made tunics) or such distinct shar lapels. There are no traces of an eagle actually - probably just... -
The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Why not open an own thread (if there isn't one already) for knitting? It's not tailoring, isn't it? ;) -

HULK HOGAN's New Restaurant Dress Code.
From the clothing described it obviously targets middle-class white kids from the suburbs who love to put on "gangsta" airs.- Fastuni

Victorian morning suit
Wilhelminian (ca. 1880 to 1910s) frock coats are quite frequent on German ebay. They sell rather cheaply... if it is a good size and condition maybe around 100 Euros. 30 - 50 Euros is not seldom. -

Is the Red Army soldier also an object of your "blind idolization" for bearing the brunt in defeating Hitler?- Fastuni

How would you earn a living?
Of course the deciding point is whether the quantity of things (often of questionable quality themselves) amount to a higher quality of life. To me it doesn´t. Many commodities and ¨luxuries¨ have become cheaper, but in the end it is about expectations what amounts to a ¨good or successful...- Fastuni

Removing dried liquid glue from suit
Thanks for your interest guys. I have put this project on the shelf now. Some day I will get back to it, but my hopes aren't high. It appears to be some nasty hot-glue that has soaked and hardened deep into the fabric. -

The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Again outstanding work. How long did it take (aprox. in hours)? -
Braces and belt loops.............
Don't remove the belt loops. Just add brace-buttons on the inside. For the 1930's and 40's it is period correct to have both. The wearer could decide to wear either of them. Also suits with waistcoat from the 1930's had both belt loops and brace-buttons.- Fastuni

was tipping at restaurants common in the old days?
Your claim defies credibility. If making over 100 grand as a waiter is that easy and normal (and not a rare exception at some exclusive top restaurant), why didn't you become a waiter? Heck... where can I apply? :p- Fastuni

Show us your Militaria
A very rare piece of early post-war history... A tunic of the Saar state Gendarmerie 1947-1952. There existed only a few hundred - much more rare than most WW2 uniforms or early East German stuff. Everybody knows that the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany became the German Democratic Republic...
