Men's Vintage Roars To Life: The Zoot Suit That Cost As Much As A BMW
Indeed. The cream-colored woolen outfit is the only zoot suit known to have been sold at auction in the United States. One buyer from a large museum said she had been waiting 40 years to find something like it.
Augusta, who has represented collections for the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, bought it from a man who found it at an estate sale in Newark, N.J. With its cranberry-colored rayon lining and enormous shoulder pads, it had been used as a clown costume. The man bought it for less than $20.
The two-day auction preceded two days of mens vintage sales in Manhattan, part of an increasingly popular enthusiasm among designers and street-style scions for mens clothing. David Orstein, who runs the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show , described the mood at the Metropolitan Pavilion as “euphoric.”
