    Show off the sports coats.

    Clearly mid-30's. Around 1936. It is a prime textbook example of a "Paddock" jacket. This is turf/riding wear... slanted pockets, flapped chest pocket, two buttons at heightened stance, double vents.

    German belt back, patch pocket jacket

    The interior pockets are "piped", just as on the specimen in the first pose. I have seen plenty German jackets with most different interior pocket treatment. Fabric piped, lining piped, cut inside the lining, fabric tongue etc. The latter certainly is the most elegant, but the other variants are...

    German belt back, patch pocket jacket

    Everything is typical for a German jacket. Except that it is a flapped four pocket jacket, it is identical to mine. The 3-2 lapel roll was not that unusual and can be done by ironing depending on the inlay.

    1930's German Shearling Short Jacket

    It's wintery season now... but it is too large for me - so it is in the classifieds now. The collar has been gently sponged. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?74965-German-30-s-Shearling-Jacket-Sz-40-42&p=1715691#post1715691

    FS: German 30's Shearling Jacket Sz.40-42

    Fellow FLoungers, It's getting really colder... so on whatever side of the pond you are, getting some warm clothes is not a bad idea. :D Here a 30's German winter jacket made from very sturdy sheepskin/shearling. The leather is strong & thick and neither dry, nor flimsy. Elegant cut with...

    1920's light grey belted back SB suit with peak/fishmouth lapels.

    Yes, they are forward facing, but as you know these kind of "British/Euro manner" pleats can be found also on 1940's US suits. Probably just the taste of the costumer (maybe informed by his origin). But I think until the early-mid 1930's US trousers in general were usually made the...

    1920's light grey belted back SB suit with peak/fishmouth lapels.

    Baron, the shoulder seams on my jacket are just as much angled to the back. I'm pretty sure that both suits are from around the same time... mid-30's (1933-37) that is.

    1920's light grey belted back SB suit with peak/fishmouth lapels.

    Not frequently found, but certainly not atypical. This 1937 Chicago Wool Chart has three single-vent back-styles (94, 90 and 55):

    1920's light grey belted back SB suit with peak/fishmouth lapels.

    Well everything about it is typical of a US mid-30's suit. The button height, the proportions, the silhouette, the pleated trousers... also the design of the labels. This rarer kind of lapel (half-peak or "fishmouth") together with these flapped pockets can also be found on this 1937 Chicago...

    1920's light grey belted back SB suit with peak/fishmouth lapels.

    Nice, but NO way 1920's. This looks mid-30's to me.

    These trousers are all German. All trousers have some tailoring details that are typical of German tailoring: "bunny ears" suspender straps, piped side pockets, little fob pocket (some with flap), inverted pleats, bowled buttons, the scalloped rear pocket, the type of side adjusters Of...

    Very nice! Love the fabric.

    Vintage German trousers

    The cream ones are rare. These are first German cream flannels I have ever seen. Also wide and straigt.

    Lordy !

    Bizarre.

    Show us their suits

    Awesome. Plaid casual shirt with sports jacket... also my everyday look. :) Is there a particular reason given why these lads wear rather "American" ties?

    Thank God for Ralph Lauren

    ... and why is DiCaprio wearing a collar that is way too large for his neck? No one noticed or cared?

    Thank God for Ralph Lauren

    Nothing says "30's style" better than "chain-embroidered" slacks. :p Interesting beginnings... although these creations had as much to do with the 30's as the recent "Gatsby suits" have with the 20's.

    Coat/Jacket length?

    Looks like he was born in that jacket.

    1930s SB 3-Button Odd Jacket With Flecks and Patch Pockets Sz. 38

    Either a lightweight wool or some cotton-wool blend fabric. Soft and not overly wrinkly... so unlikely that there is linen. Here a close-up (apricot-white micro-check with navy sprinkles):
