From the 31 January 1960 Hartford Courant- Look of the New Decade-the 1960 Suit.

'Bared suit in French worsted sheer by Ben Zuckerman. Low pitched neckline, unpressed pleated skirt. Beige and white, 8-14, $255.'

Ben Zuckerman presented his latest collections- and earned the nickname 'Grand old man of the market.' The 1960 suits included jackets in a new length that dipped to mid-thigh. Jackets skimmed away from the body and were usually single breasted. Instead of a collar on one Glen plaid jacket, it had a ring of fur that could be knotted.

Coats were often very full, almost like capes. Short fur coats, belted in leather were worn over simple black wool dresses that 'have a lifetime of wear ahead.' 

Fur was used throughout, especially on the evening costumes. Several of the evening ensembles were lined in mink.
