RE: zoot suits..
i really dont enjoy typing here, i have a lot to say but i always try and reduce it as much as i can. it never comes out right.
but anyway, lets focus on the grand ridiculous cost the smithonian paid for a zoot suit. since that is a simple way to sort of guage the importance of it.
60,000$ for an article of clothing is very stupid money. clothing never costs this much. that price is up there with famous king attire.
and the smithsonian doesnt just pay that kind of money simply because they can either.
yes, the suits are rare, but that has little to do with any antiques value
turns out some part of that history was actually lost no matter how stupidly i try and describe it to you. its hard to describe what exactly is lost. definitely not willing to sit here and properly do it
