Lipstick in the heel
Post-war Germany was not all rosy, but 1949 wasn't 1945-47. Reconstruction was already underway East and West and there was much enthusiasm (after all one also wanted to leave behind the war years quickly). Political and economic conditions in the Soviet zone (since 1949 GDR) were of course...- Fastuni

Very interesting Roman theme on this tie: "Quo vadis", Imperial Eagles, Laurels, sunbursts... and green-white-red color evoking the Italian flag. at least no little fasces... ;)- Fastuni

Oxford Bags
Please show what you mean on the sketch I made. I think we are talking past each other. Normal buttoning braces had two buttonholes on each of the three straps - makes 6 buttons in total on the trousers. If you want to suggest (as I read your comment) that all 12 buttons on the trousers were...- Fastuni

Oxford Bags
If all buttons were intended to be used at the same time, they would need quadruple-braces. As it is, half of the buttons are spares (or for adjusting fit).- Fastuni

Oxford Bags
I was thinking along the same lines... I´d wear them with an open-collar shirt and an odd peak-lapel jacket... too bad the slacks are a few cms too short for me.- Fastuni

Lipstick in the heel
1949 Leipzig - novel shoes with liptick carried inside the heels. The ladies may judge whether this is a useful idea. It certainly didn´t have much success. :p Click to enlarge: http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/90056293/df_roe-neg_0000121- Fastuni

Oxford Bags
A rather odd pair of trousers with fishtail. They have 12.6 inches (32 cm) wide legs and are straight cut. I thought these were rough 30s German ¨Oxford bag¨-inspired slacks, however according to HBK, the ¨Made in England¨-weave on the selvedge suggests a post-60s reproduction (perhaps...- Fastuni

Great! Hm... polo shirt with beret. I need to wear that combination more often. Is this his rib-cage sticking out? o_O (Probably he is taking deep breaths...)- Fastuni

Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear
Metatron, yes this jacket looks very youthful and dynamic... quite a contrast to the goatee! Two Types, I think this is a jersey shirt. More knickerbockers+knitwear: 1931 German pilot students. http://www.deutschefotothek.de/documents/obj/80309260/df_e_0006658 Photo by Fritz Eschen- Fastuni

Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear
Floey the French 1938 photo is just great. Most interesting is the plaid short-sleeve blouson to the left. It first seems like a shirt, but is really a jacket! Here an interesting example of 30's casual wear also from 1938. Group photo with Dadaist Hans Richter in Ankara (a hub of...- Fastuni

Your Favorite Sandwiches?
The hot dogs (and pretzels) from those NYC wheel-carts looked suspect already from a distance, but I fell prey to the smell of their "kebabs". :D - As someone living in Bavaria/Munich it is of course rather funny to see that internationally almost everything seen as typically German is...- Fastuni

Except that they are low-waist and have workwear/jeans-type pockets. Here a listing with some better photos of the wide kikwear pants: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002L370LQ/ref=asc_df_B002L370LQ3189638?tag=thefind0145788-20&creative=395261&creativeASIN=B002L370LQ&linkCode=asn- Fastuni

Collegiate Pants
Stunning suit - crazy low price. Do you have a link? However I am confident (and calmed) that it never ever would have fit me. By the photos it looks like a 35. The imagined "flare" is mostly due to the slight break the pants make on the shoe. If it floats without break it will look straight...- Fastuni

Your Favorite Sandwiches?
Haha. I also am blessed with an efficient metabolism. Same here in most German stores. There is also the so called German ¨corned beef¨ which is actually a cold cut in jelly and doesn´t even remotely resemble actual corned beef. Absolutely. I don't like ketchup on sausage/bratwursts at all -...- Fastuni
