We tend to forget how important is the history of el pachuco. The first seed of rebellion against discrimination and done in such a flashy way. Through Music, fashion and style from a young generation. Pachuco mood moved south of the border and is still well and alive in some of mexico barrios.
Lmfao. Lies... zoot suits were oversized garments AAs were given because they couldn't afford the fitted tailors. 2. It was utilized as a cultural fashion for uptempo swing music. AAs CREATED the tailor and fused it for the culture. @@chickenalaking1319
Wrong again, despite several claims of a Jewish tailor(from where differing depending on who states it) no one has been able to conclusively prove a Jewish person created the zoot suits and most accounts associated its origin and first wearers with African Americans. "The New York Times places the birth of the zoot suit with Clyde Duncan, an African American busboy who ordered a customized suit at Freirson-McEvere's department store in Gainesville, Georgia, in February 1940. The measurements were then sent to the Globe Tailoring Company in Chicago, and the "killer-diller" style, as it was called in Georgia, caught on in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. From there the fashion found life in Harlem and spread throughout the rest of the country. Duncan was reportedly inspired by Clark Gable's wardrobe in Gone With the Wind, according to the Negro Digest. 'Newsweek, however, placed the origin of the zoot suit in Harlem a decade earlier, in the 1930s. Evidence from the Autobiography of Malcolm X corroborates this dating because it was a fashion already popular and readily available in retail stores in the Roxbury section of Boston when Malcolm X moved there in the summer of 1940. Likewise, jazz musician Art Pepper recalled in his autobiography, Straight Life, that the zoot suit was popular on Central Avenue when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1940. Given that, before 1943, the fashion elicited no media attention, which would have certainly facilitated the migration of the style from coast to coast, it is likely that jazz artists popularized the style in the cities they annually toured. Since the zoot suit was already popular and in production on both coasts by the summer of 1940, it likely originated not with Clyde Duncan in 1940 but elswehere in the mid-to-late 1930s.'"
They attacked the Zoot suiters because they dressed un-American but nowadays is perfectly normal for a man to dress and identify as a woman because that's totally American right???
@@zamed9037 oh, I understood your comment. It’s just pointless. Figured maybe you forgot to add a point. As it stands, kind of seems like you want trans women and men who dress in women’s clothing to be attacked like the Zoot suiters were, which would be messed up to be honest.
They did not attack the suit suits for that reason. The suits were a Gabe They caused huge destruction. You know think if the sons of silence bloods crips whatever floats your boat. They went wild. And so the LA people with armed power from navy marched and executed them. If we treated ganes that way now we wouldn't have gangs

El Pachuco! Edward James Olmos is fantastic in this. Incredible charisma.

Zoot Suits came from Black people in Harlem and the music was "Oldies" ie R&B.
@@Soufside_Slimyour right it was an african american design
Wrong. Zoot suits were an invention of Jewish tailors.
