The zoot suit. All men have worn them from past to present, but do you know where it came from? During the Roaring 20's, Harlem was bringing out all it's talent from singing, dancing, acting, etc., but most importantly, fashion. During this time of the Harlem Rebirth(Harlem Renaissance), the Zoot suit was invented. It's popularity hit major during the 20's among African-American men in the Black community. To this very day, African-American men has continued it's popularity. Michael Jackson has also contributed to the popularity of the Zoot suit! In several videos like Smooth Criminal and Black & White, Michael wore the Zoot suit. Mexican-American people want to take credit for the making and popularity of this fine suit in the 40's, but we as African-American people has kept this suit alive ever since we invented this suit.
