I must say I have enjoyed all the 60's and 70's things being posted. I may not always like the styles (a matter of personal preference, and some items are beautiful), but it was good to see some older and unretouched faces, even though some of the tailoring details had been rather heavily retouched.

I'm guessing German- there's a roundness to it, particularly in the shoulder and sleeve which seems very German to me. Plus, it's very clean.Not English, I'd guess... French, maybe?

Correct. It's German, from das Schneiderhandwerk, February 1963. The tailor is Günter Ulrich, Berlin. The caption says "a city suit to button three". The extremely clean style with a shorter skirt is also a 1960s style feature, rather than just being a regional characteristic.

Just seen the breast pocket, any higher and it will be on his shoulder.
The distance between the breast and hip pockets seem to elongate, but over all it seems not to work.

Is he from East Berlin? I think I spotted the back of an old DKW (definitely a West German car) in the background on the right.

Apart from that he has the stature of the average (German?) tailor of those days, rather stout.
The pockets are a bit too slanted for my taste, and I was told that a button 2 with it's longer lapels "stretch" the wearer visually! I would never suggest a button 3 to a man with this stature! But: Elk sîn Möge!

Notice that it is a very typical 1960s button-two - cut like a button-three except with the bottom button omitted.
