Rod Serling Style – Early 1960’s Twilight Zone
March 17, 2010
It baffles me that Rod Serling never makes a best dressed list. Here’s a look back at some of my favorite looks for Mr. Serling from the Twilight Zone.

From "Dust" - January 6, 1961 - Amazing 2 button sack suit, satin tie, and spread collar white oxford shirt

From "A Most Unusual Camera" - December 16, 1960 - Great 3 roll 2 sack suit, satin tie with vertical stripes, and white oxford spread collar shirt

A more relaxed Serling from "A World of His Own" - July 1, 1960 (One of Serlings first appearances as host of the show)

From "King Nine will not Return" - September 30, 1960 - Classic Serling, black mohair 3 roll 2 sack suit, white oxford spread collar, foulard tie, Hamilton Ventura and a paratroopers bracelet

From "Mr. Garrity and the Graves" - May 8, 1964 - Great Tweed 3 roll 2 blazer, white oxford button down collar, and tie

From "The Dummy" - May 4, 1962 - Amazing sack suit, tab collar, and skinny tie. You'll also notice Mr. Serling's paratroopers WWII bracelet on his right wrist.

From "The Obsolete Man" - June 2, 1961 - Signature Serling, black 3 roll 2 blazer with pleating details, white oxford spread collar, and skinny tie. Also note Mr. Serling's signature cigarette

From "The Man in the Bottle" - October 7, 1960 - Again, Signature Serling at it's best. If you look closely, you'll notice the flecked wool detail on Rod's blazer. The foulard skinny tie is also amazing!

From "Two" - September 15, 1961 - Amazing combination of a 3 roll 2 tweed blazer, white oxford club collar with a tie bar, and skinny printed madder tie.

I found this great Vintage Ventriloquism group on Flickr. Below are some of my favorites.
My favorite ventriloquist of all time is Jerry Etherson from Episode 98 of “The Twilight Zone” titled “The Dummy” (1962).

"The Dummy" - One of my favorite "Twilight Zone" episodes.
