In the late 20's the Jazz Musicians of Harlem pushed the boundaries of fashion with their big, bold and baggy ZOOT SUITS. Their high waisted baggy pants, cinched in at the ankle, and their fully cut coats created a fashion statement that continues on in dance clubs around the world.

    • Oxford Baggies originated on the campus of Oxford University, England, during the summer of 1925. The full cut of these pants and cuff with a circumference of 22 inches allowed students to easily slip them on over their beloved knickers, which had been banned by the University. Unlike the ZOOT SUITS above Oxford Baggies were more socially accepted and worn by the masses.
