Hanna-- I think you could go either way. Zippers were just coming into common use in the 1930's, but men's formal wear was more conservative. So, the more formal the suit, the less likely it was to have a zipper. Kim

Any ideas? Thank you, Hanna _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
