    Wonderful german Leather jacket. Quite small

    It's almost criminal that it went for that price! Inaccurate title? my browser translates it as 'old men motorcycle leather jacket 50's' :p

    What are you wearing today??

    The moustache rather makes the look imho! I'm reminded of Julian Barratt from the Mighty Boosh.

    BRITISH Belt-Back Suits and Sports Jackets

    Here is a rather late sighting, according to what has been discussed. A somewhat conservative looking example, at least from the front. From 'Hunted' 1952: Would this have been an old jacket, or is there a possibility that it was contemporary?

    More BCL cafe racers!

    Those are the very essence of minimalist design, with just the right amount of details. Very nice!

    Design your own fragrance

    The first things that came into my head: Jasmine, pipe tobacco, wet soil after rain, leather, maybe Brylcreem. I like a thread with a hint of silliness. :D

    The Nationalist Myth, War and "Vintage"

    Interesting, but doesn't that quote contain a contradiction? That on the one hand the sentiments of patriotism are embarrassing and that they summon up nostalgia? Why would you be nostalgic about something that you think is embarrassing? These are my thoughts: Woe to the defeated. Most Germans...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    The whole beauty of a patch is that the wearer sewed it himself, out of necessity, and gave his garments a unique personality!

    Adapt an Aero today...

    I agree with a 'keep it simple' approach unless you have a specific overall look you want to replicate. I think the mod of a detachable fur collar with a latch is a great idea though, my Luftwaffe jacket has it and I use it all the time in the winter. I would also give it a relatively light...

    Show us your TIES

    Some of these patterns are just genius... The palette and the visual balance. What kind of professionals were employed designing these? Commercial artists/illustrators?

    Cowboy print shirt - great 50s vibe!

    We are lucky that vintage workwear is trendy right now. :) In fact I'm generally satisfied with the look of the highstreet stuff in the last couple of years, at least as far as shirts and sweaters are concerned. Quite a few nice cinch back trousers too, but slim fit and low waisted, which is...

    Old thread, but whatever: Here are a couple of 'Luftwaffe style' utility jackets worn in civilian context: Original caption:10/30/1947: "More Jews try to enter Palestine." Photograph shows emigrants lined up to be searched and sent on to Cyprus, after an attempt to illegally enter Palestine...

    I absolutely love your tie! I can just imagine you strolling through Algiers in that outfit.

    Widening trousers? A tip from the German Air Force

    I would love to read more about the service of your grandfathers. Have you talked about them before on the FL? As for fashion in the army, I can give you a completely different perspective: When I did national service, the older soldiers wanted to look anything but smart. They would wash...
