My dad was in his prime in the 40s. He said the waists were so high they would reach over their shoulders to get their wallet out of their back pocket! lol

I remember an episode from the cartoon Tom and Jerry when Tom and his gang wore zoot suits and hit the jazz cat clubs. Classic!

constantgamer0421, I thought of this song when I saw the zoot suit as well. Cherry Poppin Daddies were an outstanding group!

It would be good if we could enlarge/zoom on pictures. With my eyesight many of the pictures are pretty vague, especially the ones asking to identify a specific cuisine.

There was a rock star in England called Zoot Money. I don't think he wore a Zoot suit very often.

Lorraine , teddy boys was more of a fashion statement than a group of thugs! It was & still is used as a description of a mode of dress & hairstyle.

Curmudgeon, Teddy boys were violent gangs who would attack black and asian men on the fifties and sixties, if that goes you more information.

An artful piece of Americana that is stereotyped during that time but really does have an impact

I got that right away mainly because I remember that Cab Callaway wore this kind of suit. You, know it pains me when I see a comment from an individual, who by all accounts, has little or no knowledge of the clothing industry history. Take time to read BEFORE you make comments based solely on one picture.

The original teddy boys were named after Queen Victoria's son Edward. A long time before Zoot suits.

OK, but where did the name "Zoot Suit" come from?
