Zoot Suit

Sign in to disble this ad
I really need to get one of these. Nothing really flashy, something like- http://www.zootsuitstore.com/Shoppin...ode=ZBSSA40160
with this instead of the jacket- http://www.zootsuitstore.com/Shoppin...ductCode=ZBS06 (black topcoat, not the brown one)
if i got one, i'd actually go those crappy social events and such.

Get a yellow one and paint your face with green grease paint so you look like the Mask.

Yeah, there's dressing up like a pimp and then there's dressing up like a Chicano rebel. When you wear a zoot suit, you have to decide what you mean by it.

You can do it but I'd imagine you'd have to forfeit your 'awesome club' membership. Just sayin'.

Zoot suits only look cool on skinny guys.... but maybe just wearing that snap brim Fedora would be enough anyway.

I feels sudden desire to go up to Frisco and join a psychedelic band.

That's not a zoot suit. THIS is:

The late great Cab Calloway.
