It's from the Hamburg based ebay vendor Pipoletto. Lovely suit, but a small size.

Fantastic suit, and the size is pretty much perfect for me! I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this one, even though I already own a early '40s navy DB suit.

Sold for £255. I imagine it would have gone higher if it was a louder wool.

I hope its going to a good home, it's a lovely suit.

I got the suit. Terrific silhouette, this one - sharp jacket cut and nearly bag-wide straight trousers, 11 1/4" wide at the hem.

I really should share photos of this one (and my other vintage suits) sometime. So far, my perfectionism has kept me from posting photos - indoors doesn't seem to work at all and outdoors isn't easy around my flat. I'm getting there eventually.

Yes, please post photos of this suit (and the rest of them). I'd be interested to know the origin of the suit (i.e. any pics of labels etc)

Will do. I'll have the suit in hands in a fortnight.
There is also a bunch of overcoats that I need to post eventually, mostly from the 1930s and 40s, some from the 50s.

Congratulations to Papperskatt.
Darn it, I totally forgot about this one. I think that I was at the cinema or something when the auction ended. :eusa_doh:

Please post some pictures when you get the suit, Rabbit. Congratulations, you got yourself a really nice suit for a great price there.
