Tailored suits
have high waisted, broad legged, tight cuffs pegged trousers and a
lengthy coat with open lapels and wide pad shoulder. Frequently
tailored suits suiters put on a felt cap with a lengthy feather and pointed, French
fashion shoes. A young Malcolm X describe the
tailored suit as: "a killer diller fur with a swathe shape, reet pleats as well as shoulders padded similar to a lunatic's cell."
Zoot suits typically feature a watch chain dangling from the strap to the lap or below, then rear to a side pouch.
custom suits were for particular
occasion – such as a boogie or a birthday gathering. The amount of
fabric and tailoring necessary made them luxury items. A lot of young
people wear a more modest version of the "extra bagged" pants or style their hair in the signature "duck tail".
The oversized tailored suit was a profligate personal fashion and a announcement of freedom and auto determination, even though many people still think it a "rebellious piece of clothing of the era."
