This distinctive suit, with its long frock coat and tall 'highway man' collar, was worn for public appearances by a member of the International Minipops, a cabaret group that toured their musical puppet show on luxury cruise-liners. Carnaby Street retailers such as Take Six's Sidney Brent courted showbusiness clients for their publicity value.
