A Ben Zuckerman coat in black, from 1957. The suit is perfectly accessorised with white gloves, a ladylike white hat and a large corsage at the neckline. There are three large buttons, and what appears to be a velvet collar. The coat has feminine seaming, curving over the bust to the waist. I would imagine that this coat cost in the range of $300, which would have made it a significant investment in 1957.

From 1951, a Ben Zuckerman coat, with a very full skirt, nipped waist and shawl collar. It is princess seamed and features 3 buttons, no doubt as high quality as all Zuckermans are. The suit is accessorised with a large brooch, small hat and a fantastic fur muff. All in all a very stylish coat. It was sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman-Marcus and WM Block, all high end department stores.

This is a fabulous late 1960's Zuckerman suit in a bright red. As is typical of Zuckermans, the buttons are really outstanding- substantial and very decorative. The suit is a heavy wool with patch pockets on the jacket. The skirt is shorter than Zuckerman's of the 1950's and early 60's, as by the this point in history the miniskirt had arrived.

The jacket is trimmed at the waist and wrists with fur, which I believe may be chinchilla. Fur trimmed garments were very popular during this era, which ranged from inexpensive rabbit to leopard or sable, which was very costly. The vogue for furs lead to some animals becoming endangered even to this day.

This is a Ben Zuckerman jacket, once part of a suit, in a lovely textured wool. This jacket has the lovely, almost work of art, buttons that so many Zuckermans feature. The jacket has 3/4 length sleeves (all the better to display bracelets, or gloves that would have been worn by most women in the 1950's).

There is a scalloped design in satin running down the front of the jacket, and the collar and hem are also edged in satin, making a striking detail.

This is a fantastic ensemble by Ben Zuckerman, dating from the 1950's. It features a jacket and dresss in a pink brocade.

The jacket has a nipped-in waist with a slight peplum, mother-of-pearl buttons and a white mink fur collar. The dress is a fitted sheath.

Women would often wear 'cocktail suits' in the 1950's and 60's. These were suits in a more dressy material, such as the above brocade, silk or chiffon, often trimmed in fur. These suits could be worn to dinner, cocktails etc. Ben Zuckerman often featured a number of cocktail suits in his collections.

This coat is made with material from Anglo Fabrics, a Webster, Mass. based mill that specialized in worsted and woolen fabrics. Sadly Anglo Fabrics closed in 1998.

An ad from Lord and Taylor for a really lovely Ben Zuckerman suit. This suit has pockets in the jacket and skirt and has a top that matches the lining of the jacket- a very Chanel touch.

The suit is in salt-and-pepper tweed, and the top (and probably the hat) are silk surrah. This suit was on sale for $350.
