From the 15 August, 1963 Vogue- 

'One of the most heavenly suit-moves anyone could ever make now, tweed in a mottled mix of smoky blue and turquoise worn with a Coogan cap of the same. The suit lines, beautifully simple cuts and seams; the blouse, turquoise wool jersey. Suit by Ben Zuckerman of Litex wool tweed.'

In December 1963 this suit was the feature of an article in the LA Times by Eugenia Sheppard- 'When Does Fashion Become a Uniform'. The most popular uniforms of fall 1963 were pastel tweed suits for day and evening suits in white brocade for night. Also popular were long evening dresses with little beaded sweaters.

The most popular suit was Ben Zuckerman's sky blue tweed that was featured on the above cover. The ensemble was a 'bombshell', as dozens of women ordered it complete, including the hat by Adolfo. Zuckerman himself had lost count of how many he  had made. The suit itself was not cheap at $350 but that did not stop it from flying out of the stores.
