Nothing like this. I had a nice suit in the 30s and early 40s but it wasn't tailored the way these are.

[ Most guys like him had at least one good suit and maybe a spare if they were lucky. Post-Depression economics didn't really allow for a lot of luxuries, but he got by.

Bucky still feels weird having someone spend so lavishly on him. In a lot of ways, he's still the Brooklyn kid scraping by or living a meager existence. His eyes drift to basic blacks and dark grey, but the shop attendant approaches them mid-thought to offer a tastefully pleasant greeting and the opportunity to be measured.

Bucky looks to Zemo for cues, and the employee graciously defers to him. It's actually surprising not to feel judged for being new at this, or for being lower class than the type of person who would frequent such a place. (At least in Bucky's estimation.) ]
