In honour of winter arriving in full force, we have a wonderfully warm wool coat in fuscia, trimmed in black. The coat is double breasted and has chunky round buttons. You can also see some of the seaming around the neck and collar.

The coat also has fantastic huge pockets that have 'cuffs' as an added touch.

I believe this coat dates to the late 1960's, toward the end of Ben Zuckerman's career.

A really pretty petrol blue Ben Zuckerman jacket, probably once part of a skirt suit. The jacket is trimmed at the collar and cuffs with Persian lamb and has a half belt on the rear of the jacket.

The jacket is boxy in cut, and I believe it dates to the mid 1960's, based on the cut and the label.

The jacket has large domed buttons covered with silk thread, and interestingly I have several other jackets and suits that feature the same buttons.

This is a truly fantastic Zuckerman coat in cream wool trimmed with fox fur dating to the mid 1960's.

The coat has two patch pockets and the fur trim runs the full length of the coat. There is also a Saks 5th Avenue label, the store where this super coat was sold.

This coat would have been a serious investment when sold new, my estimate would have been in the $600 range at the time, which represented 10% of the average American salary in the mid 1960's.

Here is a lovely late 1950's-early 60's suit in a subtle plaid accented with a velvet collar that matches the pink in the plaid.

This suit is reminiscent of Chanel, and while the design is simple it is very flattering. It has pockets on the jacket and is single breasted.

A wonderful mid 1950's Zuckerman suit in grey with pinstripes.

The jacket is double breasted and nipped at the waist, and there is padding at the hip to accentuate the smallness of the waist and the fullness of the hips. There are two 'hidden' pockets at the hip that are highlighted by contrasting the direction of the pinstripes, creating a herringbone design.

The skirt is straight and long with a slit at the back to aid in walking.

This suit takes a masculine idea- the pinstripes and turns it into a super-feminine masterpiece.

This is a lovely jacket, once part of a suit, in a metallic bronze with coppery threads throughout. It is lined in light bronze taffeta.

The jacket is very nipped at the waist and therefore probably dates to the early 1950's. It buttons to the neck with buttons covered in matching fabric. The collar is small and feminine, as are the three-quarter length sleeves with small cuffs.

There are crescent shaped pockets on each hip.

I have no doubt that this suit was worn as a 'theatre' or 'opera' suit- a suit that is more dressy, either in design or material or both, that would have been suitable for wearing to evening events.

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.
