Offering a great mid-30's-40's German DB suit in a good larger size.
(Note: To enlarge the photos, open them in your browser, by simply pulling them into your address bar or right-click to "view image".
The bulging on the photos right side is merely from pinning the sz.42 jacket to a sz.38 mannequin.
Also the sleeves are of equal length... the placement on the mannequin/photo makes one sleeve appear slightly longer).
Tailormade with no label (as common on period German suits).
Very sturdy fabric (but soft grip - not stiff) and workmanship - this suit sure can take a beating and will serve the next owner for many years to come.
Condition is very good. No rips, holes, tears or shine.
Fabric is heavy black wool with white pinstripes. Wide peaked lapels, accentuated waist, lowest button on pocket line, flapped side pockets, well padded shoulders, unvented back... Pants with pleats, piped side pockets, fob/watch pocket and button fly.
Jacket is lined with silky black fabric, the sleeves and waistband with typical striped lining material.
The size would be a US 42 / EU 52 but could fit also US 44 / EU 54. Best check the exact measurements below.
The pants waist can be let out at the rear seam by 1.2 inches or taken in with the two side straps - jacket fit can be adjusted by button placement.
The pant cuffs can be let out by max 3.5 in / 9 cm. If minor adjustments are required (false pant cuffs, adjusting button placement or sleeves, letting out waist etc.) I can do them for the buyer free of extra charge.
Measurements:
Shoulder 18.9 in / 48 cm
Sleeves 25.75 in / 66 cm (they have been let out by 5 cm back then - a strip of black herringbone wool cloth extends each sleeve lining)
Chest 22.5 in / 57 cm
Waist 21.5 in / 54.6 cm
Back 31.5 in / 80 cm
Waist 37 in / 94 cm
Leg (inside) 30 in / 76.2 cm
Leg (outside) 42 in / 106 cm
Leg bottom width 11 in / 28 cm
Pickstitched canvas in lapels - small, angled chest pocket:
The stripe matching at the back seam is a bit... hmm let's say it adds a robust charm to it.
Suspender buttons and extender tabs + belt-loops / turn-up cuffs can be let out:
It may not be the most fancy or exquisite suit but period German suits in sizes larger than US 36-40 are very hard to come by... and often enough sleeves and legs are rather short - so here might be an opportunity for someone looking for a period continental European suit in a larger size and very good condition.
Price would be 240 USD + 50 USD shipping to US
+ 25 USD shipping to Europe
+ 10 USD shipping to Germany
Shipping via DHL with insurance and tracking.
For shipping to other destinations (or any other questions) don't hesistate to ask.
Anyone interested might PM me.
Best Regards!
