    Spectator Shoes

    Sorry, I don't get it either. Why should the guy lie about having such shoes and why would it matter? Well, probably his shoes were made by some English shoemaker. How can anyone answer this?

    I want to restart the golden era in my town

    You won't find out, unless you tried. Unless you organize a "closed" event only for people into this "subculture", way-of-life or interest, but instead hope to attract the public at large in your area, you realistically won't get too many "dyed in the wool enthusiasts". So if you hope to gather...

    The brown one is beautiful. Gives a wintery vibe... I think of snowflakes on the window of a wooden shack.

    70s does 1930s Pleated Beltback jacket--- 38 Chest

    Great jacket. One of the best 70's sportcoats (in the sense of being close to the 30's) I have seen. Too small for me, but someone sz.38 should get this.

    30's Chinese suit (Sz.34) jacket and waistcoat

    Lovely, exotic SB suit jacket with waistcoat. Alas the trousers are gone... would still work with cream flanells. A very small size! http://www.ebay.com/itm/380960639550?

    German TV series Generation War, and The Tower coming to US

    Yes, both are very good. I consider ¨Murderers among us¨ to be the better one, mostly due to the very ¨noir¨ atmosphere and the acting of Borchert and Knef.

    German TV series Generation War, and The Tower coming to US

    TT, If you mean early post-war "rubble films" made in the Soviet zone I can only think of the 1946 films¨Die Mörder sind unter uns" (The Murderers Are Among Us) and "Irgendwo in Berlin" (Somewhere in Berlin). ... To be honest I don't know any film (regardless of nation) dealing with WW2 (or...

    German TV series Generation War, and The Tower coming to US

    I saw ¨Generation war" on German TV when it originally came out... there are several troubling subtexts. The only plus compared to the vast majority of war/Third Reich themed German movies from the last 10 years or so, is the attempt to focus on "minor" or "average" young people, instead of...

    How can you tell a bow ties era?

    Studying period illustrations and photos is always a good way. Those ebay-linked bow ties are certainly not 1920s. The narrow form was popular in the late 1930's and again in the 1950's-60's. I lean towards 50's on these... mostly because of the type of small-figure patterns (pepita and light...

    He Chose the Wrong Woman

    Two reverse examples, where the woman ends up with a male character that I found mismatched: US wartime flick "A guy named Joe" (1943): Irene Dunn comes together with a bratty, spoiled, millionaire frat-boy without any charisma (played by Van Johnson) and Spencer Tracy is OK with it...

    Yes, I made a pre-tied tie out of it by sewing a knot and adding an elastic string. It is perfect for Summer, as it is extremely light-weight.

    Hair cuts

    I have heavy, thick, straight hair like that. But I´d prefer it a bit wavy... go figure.:p

    What exactly do you mean? It is a strip of fabric sewn on the inside under which a elastic band, affixed to the side seams, is tunnelled.

    Thanks guys, I now think the white sport-suit is made from nettle fibres! They are strong, shiny and have a cotton-like puff, which is the case with the suit.

    My son's first suit

    Again, what sense does a "bespoke" high-priced (compared to vintage) suit make for a 14-year old that will outgrow it within due time? I would have been glad if my first suit (at 18) would have been a nice vintage one - plenty memorable and quality.

    Vintage Silk Suit - Extra Large

    Yes, late 40's to early 50's and German/Austrian. The trouser details (type of fob-flap and buttoned elastic side straps) are post-1940.

    My son's first suit

    He still grows at his age, so it's fine. Having a savile row bespoke tailored suit will cost a small fortune and won't "perfectly" fit in a few years.

    You are right - flax is linen. But it feels different from that. It's not quite like the usual raw silk I know, either.

    1920s suits

    It was thoroughly discussed in the respective threads at the deals & finds section. It was never disputed that sport-suits with four pockets and breeches were part of civilian fashion. Particularly with tweeds or similiar civilian fabrics. It is about solid blue, grey and black versions in...

    ca. 1930's German zippers with ski-bunny-pullers. I assume this was for ski-wear for kids or women.
