    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    Hopefully breathing some life back to this thread with a late 20s German piece. I absolutely adore the brown suiting and lapels of this period.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    30s Tress and Co today. Much wider brim than what I normally sport; unique grosgrain sweat.

    Great seeing all of your latest finds - I'm practically green with envy! A recent purchase (seller's photos) of a soft-felt Bruder Bohm. I also recieved two pre-war Huckels that I need to get around to photographing - one a tagged 56 which luckily fits my 57 size head, the other sadly, a 54.

    Thanks gents, the bonus was that it was a bargain! Always appreciate your insight Steve - never thought about the connections to the factories! We're all green with envy - truly your cup runneth over!

    A recent arrival (sadly not as numerous as Steve's amazing haul!). A Brüder Böhm Cromwell for the French Market. I'm tentatively guessing early 40s. Nice proportions, mid ribbon, felt is wonderfully pliable, dense but thin. Glad to finally find a Böhm in my size. As you can see, the sweats...

    Whew! Glad your hats turned up in the end Steve - can't wait to see the rest!

    Hats intended for other markets are particularly interesting to me. To add salt to the wound the Sigma was a 57/58cm... But fret not, I'm in the process of sourcing a Platin and Jota - fingers crossed! (at least Im fairly sure, the seller photo are a bit blurry).

    Sadly not mine as I was unsuccessful in my bidding. Photos are the sellers, a rather special pre-war Huckel Sigma exported to the Japanese market. I recall Steve shared some photos of a 1928 exhibition in Tokyo.

    A great start indeed Steve! Can't really ask for more in an early velour - it really is a shame the Borsalino paper tag is missing (not that it detracts from the hat in the slightest). For clarity, are you saying this was made in Italy for the German market - or would Borsalino have...

    Lot of 1940s German menswear (coat, slacks, hat, tie, jacket)

    Beautifully styled listing - have to say very evocative of golden-age advertising!

    Many thanks for your kind compliment! I consider my collection still relatively modest compared to the giants in this forum! Yes - I was impressed at the quality of the lining and sweat. The liner is a beautiful purple that my photos dont do justice - the sweat just needs a little conditioner...

    The Steinhard & Co. Arrived. Wonderful felt, turned out to be a lovely rich brown. Looking at the tag, the AP makes me think Anton Peschel is the maker - though slightly different font than an late teens/twenties A. Peschel tag I've seen. Guess it to be 30s or so. Sadly, turns out it is an...
