The federal police, Bundespolizei, will have consistently navy blue uniforms by the end of 2012 to be in line with EU policy. The regional police forces of the 16 federal countries, Landespolizei, will have six different blue/black uniforms among them, with Bavaria and Saarland actually keeping the old green/mustard ones. Total mess.

I have a couple of great MTM shirts from Germany. http://www.masshemd-bielefeld.de/ and another great brand is the shamwow. "It's made in Germany, you know they make great stuff"

A brand like Engineered Garments will *never* happen in Germany, that's why the question is too hypothetical to seriously think about.

Schneider's of Austria produced indeed nice overcoats. However, Seidensticker are absolutely not of top notch quality imho. As mentioned above, Regent, Falke, Ign Joseph, Van Laack and Emanuel Berg are probably the only RTW/MTM brands in this thread that are of interest to most SF patrons.
Herr von Eden is more fashion forward but certainly no artisan quality.

I beg to differ. The guy on the link looks more German than anything else I've seen on this forum. Have you ever been to Berlin?

Bavaria and Saarland ?

They're not even real Germans anyway...

Well, to the rest of the world Germans often seem to be Bavarians.


I totally agree on the Saarland though

I have a overcoat from Cinque that I bought at Globus in Geneva. Very nice coat though I don't know anything else about the brand.

I do not know whether they still exist, but Windsor Hosen (slacks)
were very high quality and offered interesting fabrics.
