interesting the way they've sunk the side tabs into a purpose-built seam in the waistband. i don't think i've seen that before.

It might even be a way to save some fabric in cutting the waistband.
I also think this was a clever way to save fabric and fixate the side straps.
....
A ca. 1929-1933 navy blue DB blazer with lightly padded, round shoulders. The original buttons were damaged, so I replaced them with matching ones.
It fits me perfectly and has long sleeves.
The label points to Friedrichshafen am Bodensee (Lake Constance between Germany, Switzerland and Austria).
I imagine that it was worn with white flanell slacks aboard a ship or promenade.
Here the harbor of Friedrichshafen in 1931:

great ! reminds me of the cream nubby German sports jacket i sold which also had an elasticated back.
p.s. i always thought linen and flax were the same thing.

That's a lovely suit. I especially like the pockets. I noticed that the trouser pleats are very shallow.

That fabric is a real stand-out. The elasticated back is a great look - how did one pull it taut?

Ah I presumed it had drawstring ends, so that the tightness of the elastic could be adjusted for comfort. Interesting.
