    BTW: I was sufficiently fond of the ensemble depicted in the second illustration down in the post above, to deliberately emulate its essential aesthetic. Thought the results enjoyable! :D

    An interesting observation that I had to go back and check. I suspect you're referring largely to the bottom illustrations depicting hats. My own personal remembered experience begins about 10 years later, and comparing what I saw worn, and haircuts from films and photos of the period, I'd say...

    April 1944 concluded: And on an urbane note, we have a nice illustration of the stroller/Stresemann/semi-formal dress. (An aside: I note politicians, and others, beginning to return to the PS. My favorite presentation for a cotton or linen PS's is 3 points up, as artfully presented here in...

    No, I'm sure you're correct, and it accurately must reflect a change in policy. If my memory of earlier photos/illustrations is accurate (Always highly questionable! ;)) I would suspect it depicted trousers made prior to the WPB regulations.

    In the era depicted most men had fewer clothes. But suits also tended to wear longer due to heavier cloth, so it wasn't uncommon for a who wore suits regularly to have a few, but other older one in reserve. A man might buy 1 new suit a year. Sharp eyes! I'm not sure the war production policies...

    I think that' a very interesting question. I haven't any specific information concerning whether they were ever officially authorized. Makers and retailers of the era often used rather blatant tie-in's to merchandise their goods, so it could simply be that. However, I have seen ties and other...

    Military Style Duty Shirts/ Casually?

    They're handsome, quality shirts, and if you like the look, IMHO there's no reason not to wear them as casual/sports wear.
