This lovely Ben Zuckerman coat dates from the 1960's. It is princess seamed in pink wool, and is trimmed at the cuffs and neckline in Chinchilla. This would have been a very expensive coat at the time, probably in the $900 range which would have been close to 2 months wages for the average American.

This is a lovely Ben Zuckerman suit, in a thick tweed, dates from the late 1950's. The jacket is very well tailored, with 4 patch pockets and large, decorative buttons.
This suit perfectly illustrates Ben Zuckerman's expertise as a tailor. It is deceptively simple, and is in a conservative style that would not date easily. It was designed to flatter the wearer and would be the perfect backdrop for any accessories.
