These photos feature a Ben Zuckerman coat, in heavy black wool. The coat dates from the early 1960's, and was sold at the wonderful boutique Martha's, a store that catered to the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy.
This coat has a gentle flair and would have fallen below the knee. It truly is a timeless design.

This Ben Zuckerman coat, which dates from the late 1950's, is a real beauty! It is made of a very subtle brocade, in lipstick red. The coat has a large collar, 3/4 length sleeves, a fit-and-flare design and two lovely bows decorating the waistline.
This coat was sold at Kaufmann's, the famous Pittsburgh department store, in their Vendome shop, which was located on the 11th floor. This area of the store sold high end designer wear, both American and imported.

This is a Ben Zuckerman coat dating from the early 1950's. The coat is princess seamed and flares from the waist, perfect for wearing over a crinoline.
I have found a similar coat, seen here. I believe this coat would have also had a dress that matched the beautiful lining.
