This is a classic Ben Zuckerman suit in brown wool. It is double breasted and has all the hallmarks of a Zuckerman- quality buttons, 3/4 length sleeves and simple tailoring.

Ben Zuckerman frequently used fur in his clothing, and this lovely jacket is a wonderful example of this.
The jacket is made of black wool with heavy black buttons, and is trimmed in chinchilla fur at the neck and sleeves.

Here is a Ben Zuckerman cocktail outfit, made up of a dress and matching coat. Both the dress and coat are gently flared and are knee length. The brocade material makes the outfit perfectly appropriate for a cocktail party.
You can see just how skilled the seamstresses at Zuckerman were- the stripes on the coat match perfectly on either side of the opening.

This is a white Ben Zuckerman 3 piece ensemble, very similar to the one below, but without the fur trim.
Ben Zuckerman was well known for having a very large collection each season, often over 300 outfits, but often the outfits were variations on a theme- different material, trimming or colours, but very similar otherwise. I have this same suit in a tan colour with a slightly different material.

This is a 3 piece ensemble by Ben Zuckerman in tan, trimmed with mink.
The ensemble consists of a double breasted jacket, with 3/4 length sleeves and slight nipping at the waist. There is a simple shell, with buttons down the back, and a slight a-line skirt.

This is a great mid 1960's Ben Zuckerman coat in a pale blue. The coat is double breasted and has 3/4 length sleeves with faux flap pockets (but real hidden pockets).
This coat illustrates how Ben Zuckerman was moving with the times, it is a more youthful and 'modern' take on fashion.
