    Brown tweed three piece suit of ambiguous vintage

    I say 1920's. Someone this size should get that HECK of a suit.

    Canadian 30's suit jacket (brown/large) on etsy for low BIN

    Although an orphaned suit jacket, this brown striped SB beauty is being offered for quite a good price IMO. It's not too often one finds Canadian 30's (which IMO it is) tailoring: http://www.etsy.com/de/listing/178015629/1940s-wj-wilson-brown-tweed-jacket-large?

    Romania between the wars

    Regarding the Flickr treasure trove... they were certainly enthusiastic about huge lapels. :) Reminds me of your peak-lapel sportcoat Two Types.

    What are you wearing today??

    Nice combinations of colours and old&newer items.

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    Didn't notice it before, but it is unusual indeed! I think it was designed that way. Actually the top of the front pleats are open... I assume that originally it had a self-fabric belt or front-belt running through.

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    A late-30's to mid-40's German DB suit. Dark blue herringbone flanell with pinstripes. Alas the trouser legs have been taken in during the 50's - down to shocking 21 cm. I tried to restore them as good as possible... now they are 24.5 cm. Too bad the "excess" has been cut off. I assume it once...

    Romania between the wars

    Thanks for the link. As I have a strong fascination with the "smaller" countries of the 30-40's I immensely enjoyed these photos.

    Handkerchiefs and Pocket Squares

    Hm. On vintage suits/coats the chest pocket size varies greatly. Some of the 30's coats have quite small pockets... I often have difficulty placing a regular handkerchief into them and therefore use a very small (and thin) silk pocket square.

    How to clean cream flannels (red tennis field stains)

    Hello, I've got a "new" (30-50's) pair of British cream wool flanell trousers. At the cuff area there are pinkish stains (not just spots, but rather spread), probably from the red tennis field. Any idea how to best clean them out? :( Normal washing powder and a small tub with hot water...

    Post '30s belt-back jackets and suits

    All of them are late 60's to 70's. The gray one is useable for a 30's look.

    My Books - on special offer to FL members

    Very good. I certainly enjoyed reading "To the victor the spoils" - particularly the parts dealing with soldier's lives beyond the battlefield.

    1920s/1930s Country suit (in Keeper's Tweed)

    Not a bad guess... £460 it is!

    Show off the sports coats.

    A very special and interesting garment, I have to say. Wonderful cut. Love the front darts and lapels. Also the seams at the back of the shoulders are quite nice - I know them from 1930-40's German suit coats. Is it in any way marked or tagged?

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    It's the Rudolf Fettweis Hydroelectrical plant in the Northern Blackforrest built 1914 to 1918. The bridge is one of six bridges connected to ways/streets that lead over the pipes and through the forrest. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf-Fettweis-Werk ... Great clothing on the photo! I...

    1930's brown herringbone DB overcoat

    Coats sometimes sell at quite low prices - but in this case I'd partly attribute it to the small size. 22.5 inches sleeves for an overcoat are very short.

    1930s/1940s suit - for the larger waisted man

    Stunning suit - wished it was my size.

    1900s Stetson Expo Long-hair. 7 5/8

    You probably are objectively right. Just out of my price league for a hat. ;)

    1900s Stetson Expo Long-hair. 7 5/8

    If only it was reasonably priced.

    Return of the high waist?

    To be recognizable to the clueless, everything has to be exaggerated and caricatured.
