Superb Photos of 30's Tourism by Franz Grasser
Indeed you have to! You can also search by place. I am since 3 hours immersed in this treasure trove... and only at photo 2000 of almost 6000. A few further gems... in color. :) Enjoy! Havanna, Cuba 1936/1939: Silly games on board 1936/1939: Four passengers glancing at filmroll...- Fastuni

Show us their suits
For many great quality photos of 1930's German tourist fashion, see this thread I opened at the "Golden Era" section: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?77636-Great-Photos-of-30-s-Tourism-Photos-by-Franz-Grasser&p=1797685#post1797685 A glimpse: Note the sandals with suit! ca... -
Wearing suits casually
Welcome cosmicvagrant. If you want to avoid the office/business association, avoid dark (navy, charcoal, black) solid or pinstripe fabrics. Light browns, beiges, greens, heather greys and structured fabrics like herringbone, but also patterns like checks and windowpanes will reinforce the... -

1920s suits
Very iconic item... the famous blue serge suit. The damage to the liner should be repairable without much effort. -
Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
Glad that almost all my larger garments are about your size. :) The waistcoat certainly calls for very high rise trousers. I really like the first coat... particularly the shoulders. Ideal as an everyday "beater" and with many practical pockets. I have to check the ca.1943-47 tailor... -
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
Very nice! This is the famous Lovat green, right? I would move the buttons a bit to the edge... especially the top one pulls quite a bit to the side. -
The London "Heads up" thread
Sounds interesting! 40 is my size... if the sleeves are at least 25 inches, I would be interested in photos.- Fastuni

Show us their suits
They have some flare... but since the fabric looks identical (slightly lighter hue) to the coat, I think they belong together. Probably an American 30's suit with "fancy" 30s flared trousers. (Also note the high rise). -
Show us their suits
@hbk Ha. I count on it that this fella is obscure enough around my neck of the woods... I loathe being compared to some "celeb" because of certain clothing/styling. Even worse than the stock comparisons with Detective/Mafia/Indiana Jones. -
Show us their suits
Fair enough. But they shouldn't get away with calling it a "blazer". -
Show us their suits
Duh. They can't see that this is a suit of the same cloth and color? -
Name for the men's room
I am wondering.... what would you need a "mens room" for? In case you missed out on this announcement: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?77582-The-Powder-Room-is-Now-Ladies-Only-But-I-LIKE-Talking-To-Ladies!&p=1796768&viewfull=1#post1796768- Fastuni

The general decline in standards today
Aha... I don't see what pertinence my country of living or origin has on this matter. Should this prevent me from stating some rather well known historical facts?- Fastuni

girls in guy's garb
While there was an overall ethos that valued idealism and optimism one shouldn't get carried away. It is rather easy to find countless photos of the era with disillusioned, cynical, exasperated and despaired men and women (regardless of place). Afterall this was also an era of widespread...- Fastuni

Digital watches/clocks
Absolutely. It's not just middle-class strivers, though. Curiously there is a widespread prejudice against subtle watches as being "unmanly". A man apparently has to wear flashy, vulgar Rolex-knock-offs. I regularly wear these two 30-40's tonneau watches, and I stopped counting the times I...- Fastuni

Ridiculous Ebay listing!!!
Sure it isn't a rich guy just dressing like a downtrodden vagrant? Many affluent people (not just in the US - also in Germany i.e.) are loathe to be recognized on the street as being wealthy - either that or they just have no interest in "fine clothing" in the first place. Regarding the...- Fastuni

Ridiculous Ebay listing!!!
I admit to occasionally wearing a somewhat shabby East European 30s suit. It has some serious mends but it is clean, well pressed and the heavy wear is not that noticeable. But without doubt it would have ended in the junk had it gotten into someone elses hands.- Fastuni
