-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low 
-Rating:  4/10 
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Daniel Perez (pictured) in long dark brown buckskin Lederhosen with suspenders. 2 short scenes at the beginning and near the end. At the beginning even shorter scene and with a jacket (suspenders not shown).
Some few men in Lederhosen (also dancing), a young farm woman in bib overalls (see my other blog) but also few scenes. Farm content (horse, cows, pig) but very few or none with the boy.

Also starring Christine Neubauer, Siegfried Rauch, Johanna von Koczian and others.

I don't like this Heimatfilm. Young boy (even younger looking like ~8 ys), and few scenes, like usual for modern Heimatfilms. Also some quite good scenes of this boy together in one bed with his mom. I think he also wore jeans, but even fewer scenes. Some dramatic scenes like usual in Heimatfilms (not with this boy) and party scene at the end.

Rating 4-5.

Story 16: Sailor collars , types 2 and purpose

 

"I have the longest collar".

I'm still fascinated about sailor suits and sailor collars. Isn't it one of the weirdest clothing (next to Lederhosen)? Now some new facts:

Probably most wondered what is the purpose of the sailor collar.

According to the book "Der Matrosenanzug - Kulturgeschichte eines Markenartikels" from an early manufacturer (see info 17) the main reason for the collar is to protect the clothing underneath at the shoulders from the tearing ropes. Additionally because of the oiled braids of the seamen. (Not sure if this is 100% true, the last point is according to wikipedia untrue).

Most sailor collars shown on the web are removable collars like a simple shaped "Ƞ" but there are different collars like in the movie "Lord Jeff" with attached (sewed) white lengthenings on front an back so it can be pulled over the head and tied together at the waist (or a bit higher). So It might be not so complicated for dressing this on. Not sure if can be tied together alone. But kids were dressed by their moms anyway. I wonder how tight.

First I thought that this might only be the case for real sailors and not for kids but I now also saw some kid collars on ebay and also other vintage collars on other auction sites. I considered buying one, but most vintage cotton collars are in quite bad condition (and expensive) and the newer ones aren't original but costumes. Russian collars have a slightly different shape (lids at front more narrow and more like a "Ʌ", there's a pic on wikimedia commons.)

The pic above is showing crown prince Wilhelm of Prussia (*1882) and his sister Victoria Luise (*1892). The original pic is believed to be in the Public Domain (taken in the 1890s, at least PD in the US and Europe). Sailor lengthening by myself.

Piefke, der Schrecken der Kompanie

Comedy film starring Harald Juhnke
-Year: 1958
-Year in film: 1910
-Country: Germany
-Who in clothing: Luise ~28 ys, sailor dress
-Who in clothing 2: uniforms, bathing costumes
-Available on DVD: VHS only
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low 
-Rating:  3/10 
-Rating: ***
-Comment: I think Gardy Granass (pictured) in a long dark blue sailor dress. Blue collar, 3 stripes. Also grown ups in bathing costumes, striped and sailor dress style with a collar.
Also lots of men in historical military uniforms of 1910.

I don't like this film. Though quite funny with Harald Juhnke (unpictured) in a double role as hereditary prince and hair dresser. No kids in sailor suits nor Lederhosen. At least it's quite unusual for a woman in a real blue sailor dress. Interesting sailor's hat. No dickey and an anchor on the scarf.

Also starring Hubert von Mayerinck, Wolfgang Völz and Klaus Dahlen.
I only found a VHS release. No trailers. Film aka "Harald Juhnke, der Schrecken der Kompanie".

Rating 2-3.

Abenteuer im Schloss

Heimatfilm starring Doris Kirchner
-Year: 1952
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: Austria
-Who in clothing: boys ~5-10 ys, Lederhosen
-Who in clothing 2: teens or young men, Lederhosen
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Clothing occurence: low 
-Rating:  6/10 
-Rating: ******
-Comment: Some boys in traditional buckskin Lederhosen (pictured). One younger boy in maybe black smooth finish or nappa Lederhosen with suspenders (small pic top right). Some shirtless. One boy climbing up a pole in Lederhosen (pic bottom right). Also some teens or young man in the background at a funfair but I remember few men.

I think 2 short scenes (or 1 quite long, perhaps 5 minutes) at about 1/3 of this movie.

I recorded this movie and had to watch it at fast speed, but I only noticed these very few and short scenes, though lots of actors. One scene of the background actors isn't pictured.

Quite unusual Heimatfilm /comedy/musical film with a haunting castle. But showing only grown ups in there and dancing scenes at the end. I don't know any of the grown up actors and the movie is nothing special.
However the kids and the Lederhosen scenes are quite good.

Starring Herta Staal, Erni Mangold and Gerhard Riedmann. No clips on YouTube, No VHS no DVD found.

Rating 6.

Schrammeln

Comedy film starring Hans Holt
-Year: 1944
-Year in film: ~1890s
-Country: Austria
-Who in clothing: boys ~5-9 ys, sailor suits 
-Who in clothing 2:
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Clothing occurence: low ?
-Rating:  4/10 ?
-Rating: ****
-Comment: At least 3 young boys in white sailor suits and flat sailor's hats (pictured). Dark collar, 2 stripes, white dickeys. I assume short sailor suits.
And of course lots of others in historical clothing and hats.

I don't know/don't remember this complete movie, so I can't say much more about it, but I assume rather few good scenes with sailor suits.

Starring Hans Holt, Hans Moser, Paul Hörbiger, Franz Imhoff and Marte Harell.

Directed by Géza von Bolváry (1897-1961) who did lots of similar musical movies and Heimatfilms (incl. "Das Donkosakenlied" starring Stefan Haar, "Hoch droben auf dem Berg", both Heimatfilms which I still have to check, not sure if also younger actors in Lederhosen in the 2nd one).

Probably an interesting period movie also about Austrian music.
Rating 4 for now.

-Comment: Paul Hartmann in Lederhosen (pictured).

In this new season 15 (2 episodes yet) there will be this new teen in traditional buckskin Lederhosen. No scenes of him yet in Lederhosen, pic is from the intro. First I wasn't sure if there will be Lederhosen scenes or if it's just for the intro, but I've read that he likes German folk music and might play the character of a child actor or music star.
New (first) episode next Saturday, January 21.

So I can't say much more yet.
Update: As of end February no other scenes in Lederhosen except for a small pic shown at a computer monitor. I will update this as soon as I notice any other Lederhosen scenes.

For this series and other boys in Lederhosen (can't be found by a simple blog search due to Google's bugs), see entry Schloss Einstein here (rating 8) and also on my other blog for boys/girls in overalls/shortalls.

This boy also in orange bib overalls cleaning the pig stall. Also a boy in blue and one in red bibs. Rating 9. (See my other blog Info 124.)

Info 53: vintage pics, new blogs found

Prince Albrecht, Bavaria.

I searched for good vintage pics some days ago but couldn't find good websites (as I told before pics often not tagged properly).
Yesterday I found very good blogs with vintage photographs, CDV (carte de visite), postcards etc. Royalties and unknown people.

Some blogs are just for fun others for identifying people and reunite families, others are interested in the story behind the pics and the time, others are collectors and salesmen.

Some pics might still be copyrighted (or at least watermarked) and some people are maybe still living. Some blogs even has pics until the 1970s.

The links are showing boys in sailor suits (some with girls) but if you search you might find other interesting pics (maybe Lederhosen and overalls). The pics above are taken from loc.gov. I have also linked my open Picasa albums on the right.

Many high res pics are on this site, lots of German ones (tags children, families, nautical), I like

Lots of good vintage pics here, I like King Baudouin of Belgium (1930-1993), son of King Leopold III
