Here is a Ben Zuckerman ensemble, consisiting of a coat and dress. It dates from the early 1960's. The coat is grey wool and has a rear belt, and the dress, which is made of silk surrah, is full and has large patch pockets. Surah is usually made of silk, or sometimes with silky manufactured fibers. It is found in a right-hand twill weave with the diagonal pattern of the twill visible on both sides. It is soft, smooth and fine and can be printed or solid
