This gorgeous red wool coat by Ben Zuckerman dates from the late 1950's. It is trimmed in fur and has a belt to draw attention to the waistline.

 


Ben Zuckerman so subtly widens the shoulders of a  British lattice tweed suit.
This gorgeous suit was sold at Nan Duskin- a high end shop in Philadelphia that opened in 1927 and closed in 1994. The shop carried the finest high end fashion.

Here is a lovely Ben Zuckerman suit from the early 1960's. Made of a ribbed wool with white pin stripes, the suit is quite geometric in appearance.
This suit can also be seen in the ad below it.

This is a beautiful boucle wool suit in black dating from the late 1950's. It is double breasted with corde buttons. It's very well tailored and deceptively simple. A suit like this would have been a mainstay in wardrobes of the time.
