Mens Zoot Suits - What They Represent

Posted by Aaron Sarfati on Jul 19, 2023

What started back in the 1930s as a counter culture statement, Mens long jacket Zoot Suits have turned towards a completely different direction. These days the majority of mens zoot suits we sell may either be used for stage performances on Broadway or used for party costumes that have either a 1930s theme or just for fun times. Mens Zoot suits simply have a way of putting smiles on people's faces when they see them these days in a manner that no other type of suit can. People know that when they see someone wearing a men's zoot suit he is wearing it for fun and as a conversation piece unlike the way that they were originally designed for.


Mens zoot suits almost always have to be worn with a wide brim matching zoot suit hat that creates maximum visual impact in a context that you just couldn't possibly do with your traditional style business suit. When you see people wearing men's zoot suits you immediately think that this is the type of outlandish suit that renegades may have worn way back when they simply wanted to put their thumb in the eye of convention. It was a way to flip the bird if you will at anyone who disapproved of not wearing conservative-styled clothing. It was a huge attention-getter as well because let's face it, how could you possibly ignore the way mens zoot suits look with their super long suit jackets and baggy pants.


While regular mens suits have a specific conservative length and tailored fit, men's zoot suits don't and represent a whole different attitude. While most men want to blend into the crowd and seek anonymity, zoot suits for men scream look at me and look at how I live. Everything about them says exaggerate. Exaggerate the length, exaggerate the shoulders, and exaggerate the bagginess. That is what these wild-looking Zoot Suits are all about.
