Non Itchy Rash On Dog's Stomach

Soil Name: Windsor

a dozen brand names of fashion companies. Especially since in the eighties, the so-called designer came and people started to buy any nonsense, simply because the name of the designer stood on it. This trend continues today, but the shelf life of designer names obviously have an expiry date, and soon the people of today are the people of yesterday. This inflation has the brand name is not always given half a century, yet everything was different.

The only labels that were found in a jacket at that time were the name of the retailer and perhaps the hallmark of Harris Tweed , Later was added the new wool label. At that time there were also men's outfitters, where enough of the name of the firm in a jacket or a suit. That there is today still called then Private Label . This can be top quality, from my jacket Rudolf Boll in Rottach-Egern reveals only very coy in the inside pocket that is from Kiton. But often means the private label is low, because the term has been devalued Herrenaustatter (as well as the term Mr. ). Meanwhile, already adorned a company like Engbers it.

My enthusiasm for men's fashion comes from the fifties, as it was difficult to find beautiful clothes. The German man in the Adenauer era was obviously pleased with Schiesser rib (now already a cult explains everything comes back) and Nyltest shirts (are fortunately not yet come back). Or even worse: Shirts by Seidensticker with a black rose (are here again). These suits and jackets with such rigid bonded deposits that could stand up to them, true to form something called C & A. The cut did not orient itself at London's Savile Row, but at the Sack Suit Number One by Brooks Brothers in the 19th Century. Something else was hard to get.

If the early fifties in the trade press states: Paris men's fashion had dug the turn of the century. Long and narrow lapel, narrow trousers and sleeves. Did not slip into it, the German men. The fashion fans in Dusseldorf and Berlin-West are more resistant and less extravagant, to protect the purse , then refer to these sets a mood. more stability and less extravagance, we were here for it all along. How did it look in fashion, determined by the Federal Fashion waiting Willi rods from Hamburg (Helmut Schmidt as has ever bought). A few years Previously, he was still waiting fashion empire (Reimowa). If you with no experiments, CDU could win the elections, then had this No experiments certainly apply to the men's fashion. A book title like The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit safely symptomatic of the era.

But if you was a teenager at the time, then did not want to look like Helmut Kohl when he was young. They wanted to own plight in this fashionable garments that had no other, which gave a youthful uncertainty in the identity. If I had persuaded my parents that I needed a new jacket (which the issues of course, never could, because the things of the fifties were indestructible yes), then the first reaction was: We see got what Albert has . Albert was Albert Dahle, a friend of my parents, managing director and co-owner of a men's fashion business, which Kass said. Was the motto of the Lord Kass clothes. They had also a little shop down by the harbor, where they sold clothing to the crews of the sailor herring. Which obviously were not always agree with the pricing, because one day was under the the Lord Kass dressed the set and cheating the sailor . That was certainly unfair (but of course very funny), because the business consistently led home-style quality at prices not too expensive. Dahle and Albert also had a knack for extraordinary quality. The best things, individual pieces of sample collections, unfortunately, he kept himself and brought with it a touch of the great world in our little backwater. Although, as long and slender and athletic he was, he could have C & A wear suits and would have looked good in it. At that time was - and this applies to some ☞ Herrenausstatter (STIESING exists is on the list of links the only outfitter Mr. Bremer, the company Karl Kass since 1999 not more) today still - the owner of a business nor for the quality of its goods and caused by small quantities held for exclusivity. Today this is where the Peek & Cloppenburg Anson's or hardly ever look the same where the goods in bulk is carted for miles for years, and then hangs on the rods.

I Albert Dahle am grateful to this day because he gave me the (native whose family had also from Bremen) Encyclopedia of Men's Fashion of Baron von Eelking once borrowed a half a year (I have in this time learned almost by heart) and I always have the latest numbers (You can see the beautiful colored fashion drawing you here ) of the journals Journal Mr. and lent Sir . I of course (including the so-called jokes Mr. on the last page - yes, there were some times!) Learned by heart. Sometimes I got a booklet given, I still keep them on as trophies. You have to remember that these magazines were intended only for the trade, were fashion magazines for men's fashion did not yet exist. It was a sensation when the Constanze once appeared a four-page supplement for men's fashion.

If, when Albert found nothing (although it there is almost always something could have found, I have taken many things from the store even decades), you could try the parents to visit the real temple of the Lord Fashion in Bremen to persuade. The names were Charlie Hespen, Herm. STIESING and Hans Kalich. Hespen and STIESING were the equivalent of Bremer Ladage and Oelke Hamburg, STIESING was also in interior design. It was all very English. Your boss seller Hans Georg Bank would also be able to work in London. If you entered the shops of STIESING and Hespen, one could make any mistakes. That was all brem-English restrained. But if they were looking for something special, then we went to Hans Kalich, who also had a branch on Juist. Juist was in the fifties for Bremer something really fine. Of Sylt, then no one spoke, there were indeed only hamburgers. That was the last thing a Bremer wanted to see on vacation. Kalich Hans Böttcher in the street was the only one who led the high-class Italians, before Selby et al which introduced in Germany. Kalich things had Italian labels, but their names at that time no one really said anything (although I knew the company already in the works on loan from Albert Dahle) - the label addiction was not yet broken out. You could at him first-class tailor suits Who buy out the Kalich label were completely anonymous, they had only a tiny German label tailoring in the inside breast pocket and had been sewn by tailors underutilized in standard sizes.

Kalich But was not the only one who led the Italians. Albert Dahle, who was watching the market closely and with Mavest already had led the first French, and soon, even the first Italians. My first dinner jacket from the company Sidi , cut sharp and narrow, has let me look good for decades. And I was touched when I was at ebay years ago Sidi Suits was sold under the category Vintage . And the light rain jacket, which he sold me that looked like a Burberry (a license from this company Albert Dahle was given to his chagrin, never, because Hespen had. At that time, took company that the award of concessions or serious), was of Hollandia Kattenburg with the beautiful name Falcon and has held longer than any of my Burberry.

Half a century ago in Germany there were a number of companies that HAKA (which was the ancient term for Men's suits and boys' suits - and probably still is) distributed and even produced in Germany. Many of these names as Bawi, Bäumler-Modestra, Dressler, F. Gramke, cones, MOH, Rieckmann, Standop, Schildt, or Mark and Wisolek exist some still, but have long since other owners, and no longer produce in Germany. Some rüschten her name on by an English word, as Standop Style or Tailor Hoff. And the first exotic-sounding names such as Nik Boll appeared, I remember that Albert had Dahle of the company a great Glencheckanzug. The company had just moved from the Regent shirt production in the men's clothing, put that time most of her pants. The best of the shorts were I ever have taken, as they may exert Incotex and Valentini an extent. None of these companies

came up with the idea of wanting to be a brand that offered everything from head to foot. Each did what he could. There were producers who had specialized in coats, as in the upmarket area of Eres or Breuer Aachen, but it would have excluded the company Ernst fork in Hamburg-Flottbek to their indestructible Blue-Red raincoats also underwear and Shirts offer. The latter had no brand name anyway (except perhaps Daniel Schagen, now part of Seidensticker), stood in there than it Bielefeld workmanship was. Or they were named Bush, but that was not one anyway. In Bremen, there were opposite in the STIESING Sögestrasse another shop called Hugo Nolte, who did not sell as shirts. So if you wanted to have a proper shirt and none of Nyltest. And also in 1960 where a shirt with a round collar ☞ Tab could get .

suddenly appeared in this neat, but somewhat bleak landscape, a new name on Windsor . Sounded very English, but came from Bielefeld. And was zero-comma-nix is number one in Germany. The company was already very old. Founded in 1899 by Leo Roos and Isidore Kahn, the company in 1938 a new owner, we do not prefer to know in detail how this linearization has taken place. The new owner, the Weber F. Niemann, came from a local weaver dynasty, whose name once Weber was Niemann and Laer. From the family of Weber's is the way our famous sociologist Max Weber. His uncle, Carl David Weber was with his factory in Oerlinghausen. And Max Weber in one of his major works, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism , has written into it. I mention this only incidentally, because you can see beautiful, culturally and historically interesting as the whole thing can be when one closer busy.

1960 Günther Klasing bought the company and gave it the name Windsor was of course a bit cheeky, to name a clothes brand after the English royal house (I do not know if Klasing the Queen has been asked for), but the name proposed one. Especially Klasing had a concept: the best materials, if possible in English, excellent graphical interface and a first-class visual advertising. All in black and white, the name in English cursive writing. Today the company name windsor is lowercase. This is probably symbolic, the company also has not the size it had in the days of Klasing. What is the point behind the name is, I do not know. Is this the end of Windsor? In the Middle Ages people behind it would have suspected something symbolic, but as I know the modern advertising, this is a signifier , which means guaranteed NIX.

Klasing took some time with his school friend Oetker on board, it was not financially the company so well. Although the project in a mixture of England and Italy was so good in fact. And because they also had this little joke a corporate identity that at the beginning, only two buttons on the jacket sleeves were. Today it may indeed not be enough on the sleeves. Oetker took over at some point Very firm, but retained his school friend in the company. Which the Holy brothers laid now near the farewell, when they bought the company. The bored in fact, when they sold their company boss. Hugo Boss they had made from a small regional fabric is a global company. That the company had a bad Nazi past, they have not been found in the glossy advertisements . And that they had sold the first company to a Japanese swindler who had no yen, they would also prefer to forget. They had in the eighties, the happiness that the world of clothes was quite drunk (in case you somehow missed the 80 have you read it just once this mirror article). There were constant new brands, new designers. Everything was purchased. The beautiful appearance was more important than anything else. I showed a tailor once the internal processing of an Armani jacket. All glued and stapled , no one holds it. Since it has not surprised me that I at some point in the British magazine Arena read that the Armani suit that Prince Charles had bought, has dissolved in the purification into its components.

If in that time, an established company that through its quality and brand image is known that one really can not go wrong. Sun then cheered Andreas Lukoschik called Leo, in his yearly Leo's In & Out : The Bielefeld have guys with the British name understood the trend of the time not only in full. No, they would virtually have been waiting all the time on it. Now they go from the island-Classical-section so that you can wear it anywhere, not just for pheasant hunting on the aristocratic soil. No, the company with the last name of Prince Charles made easy so that you make a tightened appearance. This is the trend-Tüchler particularly pleasing that always the "Sor by the wind" already have maintained alongside witty cuts finest materials and intensive processing. They transplant the reverse still - what else care to make only custom tailor. The purpose of this breast-teasing: the lapel suits the fact he elegant male heroes chest. Therefore: W-IN-dsor! I do not know how many got Windsor Leo suits for this free advertising, the in-house Werbefuzzis would attempt it any better.

When a company grows and grows and will become a global player (which was in the eighties, everyone), it will (have fondled the company in the early days and made it big), the small Herrenausstatter leave and seek new outlets. When they are cheeky, they open their own store next to the store, through which they are in town only became known. I want there to name any names, but say the Italian company, whose name can not Jethro Gibbs, has taken in several German cities, not popular. My decorator threw Mr Windsor at some point in the program ( You know, with the Holy I can not, this is a Swabian miser, not laissez-faire ). Since Windsor was already moved to Peek & Cloppenburg. This process is repeated again and again yes. He is also associated with danger. As the tradition Omega watches are not their quality more concession sales, but they flogged at Hertie, which was the beginning of the end of the company. Today you can buy at Windsor Amazon, the reputation of a small, fine company is gone. And every year in the textile industry a relaunch of the question. And then one that can read sentences like beautiful We have reduced the collection dramatically streamlined and focused on the core, which stands for Windsor . Which of course only masked internal difficulties.

to deterioration of the reputation of the permanent transfer of staff have contributed, I do not know how many new CEO at the company's redeployment and relaunch presented companies in recent decades. Then came the change of suppliers. To buy shirts from Windsor, was now something of a surprise eggs. Sometimes it was the first-class quality (the good I have, are, after thirty years from now), sometimes just pathetic average. As two of their most creative minds left in anger, the company offered them the textile giant FW Brinkmann (in Bremen had his own fashion house with the name Roland ) a new home. And its own brand: Tyrone . In the early years produced amazing things Unfortunately, before they atrophied. That seems to be in the fashion of the way of the world. However, this obviously is not true for the Italians: Kiton, Raffaele Caruso and Ermenegildo Zegna keep their same high standard for decades.

This image is a deterrent in the text. because we all know, of course, that the sleeve buttons can be closed and never lets Lederfleckerl sew on a chalk-stripe suit. I have another twenty years old Windsor jackets in the closet, but now I buy any more parts of Windsor. They never fit right. Why get Eduard Dressler (the fine in Germany, the best fit) have the back and Windsor not? The hull 500 C That `s barely. The 700 fuselage (that would be Italian) is a disaster. But I have a first-class mantle of the company (that they made really good coats, they have never been found in their advertising). Windsor is now no longer in Bielefeld, but is based in Switzerland, and seems to be a subdivision of Strellson to have become. That company, from the Uwe Holy (which was in contrast to his brother Jochen never see on TV) has made a success story. You pay now, the Klitschko brothers with clothes off before they had no need to advertise with B-celebrities. also once had a art collection. And still have, since the early days, a first-class advertising. With slogans such beautiful The Windsor Style: The art of fine clothing . Although the well-photographed, silent black and white advertisements of yesteryear has given way to a new advertising chatter: is In July, the campaign for the fashion brand "Windsor." - A division of Swiss fashion company Strellson - up and running, which was developed in cooperation with Munich-based advertising agency Inkcorporated. The motives are focused on a clear, premium-oriented visual language, and focus on the product. The use of natural light to the authenticity of the models are brought to the fore .

But advertising is not all beautiful. If it with the wine producer Engelbert Krull and the champagne brand Loreley extra cuvée in Thomas Mann's Confessions of Felix Krull always goes downhill, the labels on the bottles and more beautiful. And the narrator subtly noticed the way, it seems that the quality of the wine of those dazzling presentation does not fully correspond .
