Question SS clothing by Hugo Boss

Hi guys,
I was doing so research the other day, and I read somewhere that Clothing company Hugo Boss tailored and made uniforms for the SS.
Has anyone heard of this?

Important! Stolen Family Medals

Posted on the Orders and Medals Society of America's forums today and thought everyone should know if you come across them:

I would like to bring to your attention the theft of my family medals from my home in Tilbrook, Cambridgeshire, on the night of 16/17 April 2010 (Friday/Saturday). The medals were all mounted in one frame (probably now broken up) and consist of the following:

My Grandfather’s medals
-- 1914-15 Star 62 1.A.M. G. McClenaghan RFC
-- War Medal 62 Sgt G McClenaghan RAF
-- Victory Medal 62 Sgt G McClenaghan RAF
-- RAF LSGC 62 F/Sgt G McClenaghan RAF
-- Defence Medal Unnamed (Ministry of Air Constabulary)

My father’s medals
-- 1939-45 Star
-- Africa Star
-- Defence Medal
-- War Medal 1939-45
-- GSM 1918 clasps “Palestine” and “Malaya”
-- LSGC – 2323101 WO2 G McClenaghan R.Sig

My wife’s uncle’s medals
-- War Medal 1939-45 10696875 Sgt E R Brown RASC
-- GSM 1918 (George VI) clasp “Malaya” Sgt E R Brown RASC
-- GSM 1918 (EIIR) clasp “Malaya” Insp. E R Brown Federation Malaya Police

Should any of these medals be offered to you I would be most grateful if you would contact Cambridgeshire Constabulary (Cambridgeshire Constabulary - Homepage) quoting crime reference number CF 0175910410.

Lt. Don Spangle

This started out as a USAF grouping to a Capt. Spangle that I posted partially in the aviation history section. Everything was pulled out of a barn(I swear it's true!) and I started with the mans blue uniforms and his flight helmet and O2 mask. All were filthy and needed quite a bit of work. Then as we dug deeper I found a set of Army Nurses uniforms and a set of uniforms with pathfinder patches on the sleeves. So now I was beginning to believe that I was dealing with mother, father, and son. But then I found the boxes of records that Spangle kept throughout his very lengthy career. I was definately dealing with husband and wife but the USAF uniforms were Spangles after he rejoined the service after being let go in 1947. The man kept everything! Even his credit card reciepts for when he was traveling cross country to new assignments.
So here is a small taste of what I am sorting (there are another 20 or so boxes to go through).

Important! HUGE FAKE SELLER! You need to see this!

Okay, I found this seller on ebay today. He claims all of his items are 100% original. But just the look of his helmets tells me somthing is off. If anyone can try to stop this guy because he is selling fakes and refurbished helmets and scamming people off.
