    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    Again not a German suit, but Finnish - made from imported British cloth. Ca. 1947-1950, the legs have been tapered according to the late 40's style and the excess cut off. *sigh* Yet a quintessentially late 40's European suit (I have warmed up to the button configuration, which is quite typical...

    Unusual 4-button belt back jacket with double breast pockets.

    This one has a even more civilian cut (3 buttons and a rounded front cut) and is an uniform. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-30s-1934-Gray-Uniform-Suit-Police-Officer-42-Long-Union-Made-NRA-/151151621122?p The square front and four buttons make it distinctly more uniformish in appearance. I...

    Ok, maybe there is some confusion. I assumed that the opening poster referred to polo shirts, not the sport of polo. For the latter you are right, that jodphurs are the appropriate trousers.

    Really inspirational about what to do with odd orphan jackets and trousers.

    plus fours

    Nope. Their ¨sporting¨ use extended to hiking, hunting and cycling among others. They were pretty much general purpose casual/outdoors trousers in 1920-40´s UK and Continental Europe and often worn around town by younger people. In the US they certainly were used more limited and became...

    Baron, is there a way to tell the maker of this CC41 suit I posted before? Maybe some code on the paper-label? http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?53383-Show-us-your-British-suits&p=1767543&viewfull=1#post1767543

    Not a typical combo, but certainly imaginable (by polo I assume you mean a short-sleeve shirt). Both are casual or sportswear.

    Civilian dyed WW2 US Army Coat

    Not 1930´s European as per description, but an interesting example of a WW2 US Army Overcoat that has been dyed reddish brown for post-war civilian wear: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-vintage-mens-coat-40R-WWII-super-heavy-wool-brown-belted-back-/261426434735

    The ultimate 196... ahem ¨30´s¨ German suit!

    Wow! Even 50% off this 1000 USD steal... The ¨best of best¨ of 30´s suits... :rolleyes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PRE-WW2-1930s-GERMAN-mens-BLUE-WOOL-CHALKSTRIPE-3-PIECE-MASSARBEIT-SUIT-38-29x29-/310847274335?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item485ff0fd5f At least the seller offers returns.

    Unusual 4-button belt back jacket with double breast pockets.

    The fact that there is an identical jacket that sold some time before, reinforces my guess that this was indeed a sort of uniform. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Vintage-1920s-1930s-BELTED-BACK-Suit-Jacket-/161227599848

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    I'd guess that the owner possibly spent some time in Germany before the war and had this suit made there, before returning to Britain.

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    ¨Prima¨ is German. The jacket buttons look like some German sportcoat buttons I have. Semi-lined jackets (while often immediately seen as American, were not unusual on European summer coats). I tend to German and would buy/trade it if it fits me.

    Great suit. Note the missing pant cuffs. Makes me appreciate the 4 button DB. BTW a Norfolk-sportcoat from Monsieur Verdoux has been sold some time ago: http://www.thegoldencloset.com/merchant/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=C0106

    Great stuff! Do you think this was done on purpose or just bad tailoring (and nobody cared)? Is he a kind of "quirky" character in the film?

    What are you wearing today??

    @boinciel Very good suit you got there. Even with waistcoat! Not bad at all! @hamilcarbarca Great suit (though not a zoot). Note that with this buttoning it is on the ladies side. If you want to adjust the ¨chest opening¨ iron the lapels accordingly (with a damp cloth to prevent shine).

    1930s Knit Cardigan German Sz.38 Long

    Brown knit cardigan with bowled horn buttons and chest pocket. Very long arms - can be turned up of course. The body length clearly is only suited for proper high-waisted trousers. ;) http://www.ebay.com/itm/141251676731

    Vintage Police Uniforms

    There are no police officers in "burkas" (which always has a face cover). --- BTW respecting the police doesn't require "love" or "admiration" - and not "fear".
