    My attempt at the Dillinger Suit

    5 suits and several shirts within 3 days? Was this at a bespoke tailor?

    Vintage German Shawl Collar Shearling Leather jacket... Age?

    Note the inserted piece on the front (above the waistband). A lot of leather stuff was shortened in the 80's for fashion purposes. However as it is single breasted, and apparently always was so, it would have looked odd with a greather length. The proportions are fine as they are. I'm not so...

    My First Trouser Project

    While back pockets are decorative , I also greatly like trousers without them (comfortable). Particularly more "elegant" suit trousers, where the rear is covered by the jacket anyway. It's something different with more casual trousers used for combinations or leisure shirts - here I prefer...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Just lovely! Quite similar in cut and cloth (and probably same aprox. age) as my US belt-back: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?69947-Dating-US-4-piece-Sport-Suit-Brown-Fleck&p=1599683&viewfull=1#post1599683 The ticket-pocket is really the icing on the cake though!

    Show your more "exotic" origin garments

    Scotty, are you referring to the jacket interior? I see no waistcoats posted on this thread... :confused2:

    Lovely suit, Baron. Pretty certain it is "raw silk" (actually the rough leftovers from silk-production). I have a pair of Indian trousers that have a rough slubby fabric that looks very similar.

    MY LORD IT'S HOT (Summer attire questions)

    I'd also love to see photos or illustrations showing such shirts! You once posted a German magazine from 1950 - there were some variations of "exotic" summer shirts that are going in a similar direction (but much more gaudy and already quite "Americanised"): This one is from 1949... text...

    MY LORD IT'S HOT (Summer attire questions)

    Summer is still far away, yet it's never too early to gather summery clothes: German 30's casual summer linen shirt-jacket - obviously meant to be worn over the trousers.

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    German 30's casual summer shirt-jacket - obviously meant to be worn over the trousers. Fabric is linen. The collar is a so called "Schiller collar":

    Yet some Japanese collectors pay top money for the most ragged US workwear and denim stuff.

    Very nice! Apparently much of the red stripes on the label has worn off on mine.

    Hello Trint, Thanks for this information! It would be really appreciated if you could get some photos and more on this company. Wide legged trousers sounds fantastic for sure.

    "Norman Davis" DB Suit

    This is perfectly fine for 1938-39.

    waist seam suits?

    I'd say a long frock-coat (German "Gehrock") that has been shortened and converted to a tuxedo jacket.

    1936 Bespoke Burberrys Equestrian Horse Riding Jacket

    Aha! So it is attached to the top of the rear vent... I thought it was buttoned to the front, protecting the crotch of the rider or something like that.

    1936 Bespoke Burberrys Equestrian Horse Riding Jacket

    I wonder what purpose this triangular gusset served?

    Nice! The pinstripe suit jacket with white flannels should be well receivd by many a orphan jacket owner.

    Thanks - very interesting to know! Have you ever heard about "Järven" clothes? Since 30 years they apparently have switched entirely to health care, mattresses and acoustic technology... http://www.jarven.co.uk/ No idea whether this is the same company - at least the logo and name is quite...

    1936 Bespoke Burberrys Equestrian Horse Riding Jacket

    This one is apparently quite deteriorated. Most of the knight has worn off as well - would explain the lack of a horn/spike.

    WWII Batlle where Germans joined USA soldiers against the SS

    Not mentioned in the above article is that not only Wehrmacht, but also one Waffen-SS officer named Kurt-Siegfried Schrader (who was recovering in Itter Castle from wounds sustained on the Eastern Front) joined the Americans against the SS. Schrader actually became Lee's second-in-command and...
