# From what I have read about Zoot Suits,
The chain was not actually for a watch - it was just there to be cool.
The suits were made with extra cloth (when cloth was being rationed because of the war) just to piss off the regular population.

and Slim Galliard also created a rather Hep language as well - he called it "Vout."
