Okay kiddies. I need some help. Remember the wedding in Baltimore that has spurred our upcoming vacation? Well, Patrick will be right up there with the groom as the best man, and we need a ZOOT SUIT!!! Fun! But, I need to do this as inexpensively as possible. Ideas? Anybody have one we could borrow or tips on where to get one that's not too costumey for a formal occasion?
A REAL zoot suit? Good luck!!!!

Posted by: Shannon at October 7, 2005 08:54 AMUmmmm... it's black... and it's a tux... it's what he wore to the wedding... do you want me to measure the arms or something tonight and call you? He has a cummerbund, too... or however you spell that thingie they wear....
Posted by: Aunt Vickie at October 7, 2005 11:16 AMThank you for the offer... but it's not exactly a tux. You know what I'm talking about- a zoot suit? It's that gangster looking outfit they wore in the 40's.

it does make that song about the "zoot suit riot" make more sense, tho...
