1950 German Mag.: Textil-Woche Maunufakturist

[Flat Foot Floey]

I got three issues from this trade publication. It's a little later than my preffered time frame but the menswear in germany evolved slower than in the US. I am not sure if I should include text pages too because they would be boring for people who don't understand german.

Wow, these are great! Thank you so much for the effort, Flo.

Thank you for the feedback, Mario ;-)
Keeps me going.

Well here are the last few pages. The Bold Look thing is funny because we where pretty late in game. To wild for boring germans

Bonus picture from the women's magazine "Die Frau" 1950. How to dress your man!

Then again it seems all fashion designers went mad in the 1920s, like they did in the 1970s. I don't much like late 40s and 50s German fashions at all. There was too much of this:

Agreed with exception of a few sportscoats from the magazines above.

The one in the middle

The brown one in the front

I used to say "I only like 50s fashion if it looks like 40s"

Thank you Flat Foot! Interesting stuff...I also realize that I tend to like the 40s stuff more and more... guess I´m not a strict "rockabilly guy" anymore... hahaha.

Those tiny headed tie display graphics are really bizarre. So is the lace-up Hawaiian shirt. Fantastic overcoats, though.

Great stuff. Thanks.

The main thing that looks different is the more relaxed fit, and the inclusion of Hawaiian shirts. Thanks for scanning FFF!
