    Leather Jackets With Ties

    And with a blue, green, cream, striped or checked shirt I am not a sportsman? Why the emphasis on a white shirt? It can be a dress/sport shirt of any color.

    1920s suits

    Yes, the problem with narrow-shoulder 20's cuts: they are for slim bodies only. the padded shoulders and chests of the 30-40's with nipped waist are better suited for larger guys.

    Wonderful film captures as always, TT. The peak lapel suit appears to have a pearl in the lapel buttonhole. __________ Travelling musicians, Germany, 1930 ... nice belted corduroy jacket: http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/87801661

    They were certainly more prevalent than the lack of photos might indicate. Brooks Brothers ads from 1935 claim that seersucker summer suits are making a revival "in the past few years". Long popular in the Southern US it apparently became somewhat more prevalent in the Northern states during...

    1920s suits

    I first had the impression that it was just the caps, but think you are right.

    1920s suits

    3-button buttoned on the bottom only - interesting. Also note the white/cream capped shoes of the second fellow. Kind of like a reverse spectator. Or could it be sailcloth?

    1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers

    ADEFA = "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutsch-Arischer Fabrikanten" (Working-association of German-Aryan Producers). An association set up 1933/34 in Nazi Germany to certify that no Jewish businesses were involved in the production/trade. As with most things associated with the 3. Reich, it has...

    That jacket is way too big for you though. Unless you are going for the 1980´s ¨balloon look¨.

    The Palm Beach suit thread

    Very nice. It's even an off-white single breasted one!

    1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers

    Last time it sold for 392 Euros. It's a complete beltback sport suit on the one hand, but the high price is to a large part attributable to the Adefa label.

    What are you wearing today??

    Use thicker waxed cotton thread (you can wax it yourself by rubbing the thread along a warm piece of wax). Don't sew them too tightly to the waistband, but wind the thread to create a little shaft. Of course you can also use polyester thread (more sturdy) - but make sure it's not the thin one.

    What are you wearing today??

    Just sew on some buttons for braces with strong thread.

    Leather Jackets With Ties

    As I am oriented towards 1930-40's fashion, "tie" and "casual" are not opposite terms for me. I don't wear leather jackets with "dressy" or "formal" silk ties, but with more casual/sportive wool/cotton ties (muted tie fabrics are a great contrast to the shiny leather). When more casual I...

    What are you wearing today??

    Great. You wear that German "Kaiser Wilhelm"-suit very well - makes me happy every time that you got it. The waistcoat complements it nicely.

    1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers

    "Arischer" is translated as "Regulations"?

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    A "Sun-shirt" by famous German shirtmaker "Rotnaht". Probably 1930s. The material is like porous light towel cloth. Very comfortable at high temperatures. I guess it is a cotton and raw-silk blend. ]
