This is a really stunning Ben Zuckerman suit in very heavy red wool. The suit is single breasted and has a black mink collar and gold buttons.
This suit was sold at Adolfe Zelinka New York, which was a high end store selling women's clothing.

This is a gorgeous cocktail coat dating from the early 1960's. It is made of satin and velvet, in taupe and brown.
This coat may have had a matching dress and would have been accessorised with beautiful shoes, jewellery and perhaps a small hat.

'Ben Zuckerman's greatcoat, in tissue-weight woollen tweed, tied easily in front, and so green it fairly grows.'
This is a beautiful coat, which dates from the 1960's.

This is a gorgeous suit, dating from the early 1960's. By Ben Zuckerman, it is made of ivory wool and features a stand away collar and 3/4 length sleeves.
The influence of the First Lady of that time, Jacqueline Kennedy can be seen and it is easy to picture her wearing this suit.

Here is a rather unusual Ben Zuckerman suit in rayon. The suit has a lovely skirt and a really special jacket, complete with a pussy bow. This suit is in the 'dressmaker' rather than the tailored style which dates it to the 1950's when the style was popular.
This suit was sold at Daniel and Fisher, which was a department store located in Denver, Colorado. This store was founded in 1864 and had a landmark store with a beautiful clock tower. Unfortunately the company went out of business in 2005 and most of the store demolished, luckily the clock tower remains.
