    Found Letters--German--1940s

    Great story, thanks for sharing. I'm glad your granddad survived and led a good life with your grandma. And here you are, after all!

    "it"

    I guess we are talking mainly about actors and singers, otherwise there would be no common reference points! Within that frame, my choice would be Marlon Brando.

    A bit dishevelled after a couple of pints of ale with friends and the bicycle ride home!

    Anyone else looking forward to sweater weather?

    I think women look better in any season. ;) But seriously, look around you and you'll find that 9 times out of 10, the girl is well dressed and is wearing clothes that fit her, where men are all over the place, nowhere near as consistent. Not to stereotype genders or anything but...!

    I thought this shirt Jean Gabin is wearing looked interesting: Is that a workwear style chinstrap? Funny thing is, there appears to be no second button hole. Has anyone encountered this style before?

    Luftwaffe style leather jackets vs "rocker" leather jackets?

    Sorry for the late response. I am 1.87 meters tall with a 41 inch chest. My jacket is an XL. It fits well.

    Survey for upcoming business

    I would buy repro clothing. Things I would like to see: Like others have said, trousers that fit at the waist spearpoint shirts, both casual and dressy 'sportswear' jackets and trousers, which aren't generic or excessively conservative ,but feature the unique 'quirks' of the era, that can be...

    I love the button down collar with the big buttons! Not subtle, but so quintessentially of that era. Kind of a perfect blend of clunky and stylish.

    Vintage german leather jackets on ebay.de

    would be an edit: Also you see the severe short back and sides haircut in footage and photos from Britain and Germany up to the late 1950s were in the US it seems it had become unfashionable.

    I don't know if this is a correct assumption, but is it that Britain and especially Germany were postwar economically in dire straights compared to the US, which might account for the generally static situation in menswear design?

    I think the more subdued the colour, the more it lends itself to complex/interesting designs. It's a subtle one for sure. I see many well dressed older retired men for example, but also many who wear this sort of beige/light grey/light blue colour combination that is definitely dowdy. Dowdy...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    I think the sports coat is an inspired design. I wonder if it is unique or copied from something else. Dumb styling pairing that cap with a sports coat, but otherwise good looking items.

    Is the mandarin collared jacket really 1930s? That sleeve cigarette pocket looks very 1950s, I always assumed it was a feature derived from airforce jackets such as the B-15. Of course it is just a pocket, so no real reason why someone wouldn't have put one there earlier.

    Some good advice here, thankfully some things I already had the 'instinct' to avoid, like tattersal shirts and olive tweeds. Although I'm sure either can look good used sparingly.

    What are you wearing today??

    I think black or blue is ok for a sober look, or burgundy for the more adventurous.
