    i defer to Fastuni's knowledge when it comes to German tailoring... but i suspect they're early 50s rather than late 20s.

    30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource

    curious. outward facing pleats are a rarity in the UK in the 20s-40s. it's possible that UK trousers started copying U.S. ones in the late 40s and 50s to be more 'up to date'. you see a big American influence in British clothing around that time.

    30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource

    i've just sold these trousers on ebay. they're unusual in that they have outward facing pleats which made me at first assume they were American, but the metal buckle is stamped 'British Made'. seems very unlikely that they would have been using imported British buckles in the US in the late 40s...

    Are There Any Men Who Do Not Talk Much Left?

    i definitely think that being perceived as 'quiet' today comes with a stigma attached. TV has made life noisier and if you're NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME and making a lot of noise about WHAT A GOOD TIME YOU'RE HAVING you're seen as a spoil sport. it goes much deeper than that though; you become a...

    30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource

    if young men also buy into the common idea that high waisted trousers aren't sexy it will put them off ever trying a pair, and also put off manufacturers considering them a viable option to make. look at RRL ... i'm fairly certain they consider the high waist a risky non-seller. on the...

    i don't think i've seen the word 'varsity' used on British college clothing before.

    30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource

    i think it's just a different kind of 'sexiness'. the tight butt & crotch, low-waisted trousers brought in by people like Jim Morrison and Robert Plant give off a very 'bad boy', unsubtle, type of raw sex appeal. the high-waisted trouser is more to do with elegance and smartness of tailoring...

    old thread which brought up the idea that high waisted trousers had no sex appeal whatsoever (see page 2). here's a recent blog post on the same topic: http://asuitablewardrobe.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/sex-appeal.html

    Show us your 'vintage inspired' suits ....

    excellent work Q ! i think i see something of a late 20s influence in the unbuilt-up shoulders and button placement on the jacket.

    1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers

    i imagine there's a lot of Germans who wouldn't feel comfortable about wearing any clothing of the 30s-40s because of associations with the bad-politics of the time.

    1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers

    sorry about the typos in that last post. once more.... how do the German members feel about wearing a vintage suit with the ADEFA tag in it ?

    1930s German Sport Suit w/ knickers

    this suit seems to pose a moral dilemma (for anyone small enough to fit into it). how do the Germans members feels about wearing a vintage suit with the ADEFA tag in it ?
