It's actually funny you say that Stomper because the zoot suit was actually a black jazz thing from the east coast before it hit the west coast and ogt big with chicanos, Philippinos, Hawaiians and so forth.
NOT TOO MENTION ECONOMICS AND MEANS AVAILABLE.
AT THAT POINT IT WAS FOR THE MOST PART, WHITES AND MEXICANS TIL THE MAJORITY OF BLACKS MIGRATED FROM THE SOUTH.
AND IT WAS PASSED THROUGH THE AGES. BEFORE THE ZOOT SUIT, THE LOOK WAS MORE REBEL LIKE.
I AINT EVER SPORTED A ZOOT SUIT.
