This is a fabulous late 1960's Zuckerman suit in a bright red. As is typical of Zuckermans, the buttons are really outstanding- substantial and very decorative. The suit is a heavy wool with patch pockets on the jacket. The skirt is shorter than Zuckerman's of the 1950's and early 60's, as by the this point in history the miniskirt had arrived.

The jacket is trimmed at the waist and wrists with fur, which I believe may be chinchilla. Fur trimmed garments were very popular during this era, which ranged from inexpensive rabbit to leopard or sable, which was very costly. The vogue for furs lead to some animals becoming endangered even to this day.
