What a lovely Ben Zuckerman suit. Made of a dark grey knobbly wool,  it is luxurious and incredibly well made. The jacket has an asymetrical closure and is trimmed at the neckline and cuffs in fox fur. All in all it is a beautiful outfit.

This is an interesting advertisement for lipstick that features a wonderful Ben Zuckerman coat.
The coat is double breasted and has sable collar cuffs. The model wears lipstick chosen by Mr Zuckerman in pure peach and pure cranberry.

This is a gorgeous bright yellow suit by Ben Zuckerman, which dates from the early 1960's. It is made of a nubby wool, trimmed in a matching yellow satin. The jacket is more 'casual' as it is collarless. This suit was probably worn in the spring and summer and is lots of fun!

From Vogue, 1 September 1959-
'Immediate Suiting: Coppery Tweed $265- This up-to-date tweed shows its true metal in city surroudings. Its new tawny colouring is on the coppered side. Its shape, thanks to Ben Zuckerman, is a triumph of long, trumpeting line, deep crushed-leather belting, and wide spread collaring. In French Wool tweed, also solid black English tweed. Size 10-16.'
Compare with this suit- which I believe is the above mentioned black tweed version.
