    Very interesting. It appears to be slightly shiny and is obviously rather unstructured. A kind of protective/weather coat?

    Thanks guys! This type of creasing was also to be found in Spain, as this photo from Gran Canaria ca. 1939 suggests: (Click to enlarge) Source: http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/89000254

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    German 1950's REX Royal Quality snap-brim with Antilope finish. Note the unusual edge binding. It is a size 57 and in excellent condition. Too small for me - if anyone is interested PM me.

    Pinstripe coat w/solid color trousers

    Rabbit, if you don't mind the comparison: you have a resemblance to Bertie Wooster (both the looks and panache).

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    1941 - French POWs in Germany. Quite a variety of sweaters. But I like the zipped jacket best, as one might have guessed. http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/80138410/df_hauptkatalog_0357952

    Pinstripe coat w/solid color trousers

    A pre-war example (ca.1936-39). Notch-lapel pinstripe suit jacket with flannels. It certainly was more accepted than many imagine. http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/71217934/df_hauptkatalog_0212693_003

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    German tourists in Greece 1936-39. The hat in the foreground has a very unusual bash. It appears to have two dents on each side. Has anyone seen this before? Original here: http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/71082314

    You know you are getting old when:

    Yes, thanks! You had me fooled for a moment as to the age of the photo. :p But the people - and vehicle - in the background gave it away.

    20s/30s Palm Beach belt back suit

    Slightly off topic - but always an issue here: Dinerman, as a Bartender can you enlighten us why one cannot edit comments in Vintage finds and deals section?

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    No labels at all - it is also entirely unlined. The cut is 1930s, the zippers may hint more towards 40-50's. Possibly home-sewn - as there is a lot of wonk with the seams. I added the knit cuffs to extend the sleeves.

    the changes in foods since your childhood? doesnt taste the same as it use to?

    One of the blessings of Germany is undoubtedly the wide range of excellent breads - particularly if one wants grey or dark bread. At almost any place it is possible to find a bakery nearby and also the chain-grocery bakeries and re-baked goods are mostly quite good. During all my stays in the...

    the changes in foods since your childhood? doesnt taste the same as it use to?

    Just to avoid any misunderstanding: My criticism was first and foremostly directed at large fast food chains. Not restaurants or smaller family-run venues. While I greatly prefer home-cooked, I also then and now eat out. But since at least five or six years I have not visited a fast food...
