From The Miami Daily News- 13 January, 1951.
'Beige and white, in paintbrush tweed, are used for Ben Zuckerman's soft-skirted spring suit. White cotton braid edges the jacket, which is fastened with gold rimmed pearl buttons.'

This is a really lovely Ben Zuckerman outfit in pale grey Anglo Fabrics wool.
It consists of a beautiful suit, double breasted with a tiny waist, and a long, slim skirt. The jacket matches perfectly, and is loosely cut to skim over the suit.

This is a perfect Ben Zuckerman suit in grey wool. It dates from the early to mid 1950's, and would have been a wonderful 'wear anywhere' suit, at a time when most women wore suits on a daily basis.
The skirt is slightly A-line and is simply designed to allow the jacket to shine.
The jacket is single breasted, and closes with black buttons. the jacket is piped with black trim and the sleeves are cuffed and trimmed in black as well.
The suit was sold at B. Siegel, Detroit. Benjamin Siegel was born in Germany and emigrated to America in 1876. He managed several stores in the south and then moved to Detroit in 1881. In 1904 he opened his own store, selling women's and children's apparel. By the mid 1940's there were seven B. Siegel stores in the Detroit area. In 1981 the last store closed.

Dating from 1966, this is a  Ben Zuckerman coat-' Meticulous tailoring in a white double-breasted coat in nubby Anglo Fabric.'
This coat was shown in a tie-in advertisement for the movie 'The Chase', staring Robert Redford, Jane Fonda and Marlon Brando. It is not indicated whether this coat was used in the movie or was just inspired by the The Chase.

An interesting ad- for Texolite paint- featuring a lovely Ben Zuckerman cocktail ensemble.

From 1967- a Ben Zuckerman suit.
This suit dates from the very tail end of Ben Zuckerman's career (his house closed the following year).
Ben Zuckerman had a conservative clientele, who wished to follow current fashion while still remaining traditional. This suit perfectly illustrates this. By 1967 fashions were all about the 'youthquake'- with short skirts and girlish fashions the norm. This suit was a younger look, the skirt knee length but it still retained a more conventional look.

What a gorgeous coat! Made from very lightweight wool, it features huge cuffs decorated with large buttons.
The coat has a nipped waist and has an asymmetric closure. This coat is in a neutral colour, to allow the design of the coat to shine through.
