I just love those! From an era when people had style! Don't forget the wing-tips and trade in the cowboy hat for a wide-brim!
As to where to get one, I should open a Zoot Suit store! Everybody wants one, but they're rarer than lost treasure!
If you're just wanting it for Halloween or something, I would suggest most any good costume shop might have one. If you're wanting one "for keeps" that might be harder. Know any old pimps down around NC? They might know!
You might get lucky and stumble across one at an estate sale or thrift shop, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Your best bet would be to go through pattern books and try to find a pattern to have one made, or consult a good tailor. That might cost some, but you'd have a great custom suit for your trouble (and you could pick the color!).
For those who don't know, the best visual I can come up with for a zoot suit would be the yellow one Jim Carey wore in the Mask!
Hope this helps! If you find one, let me know where. I know some other people who would like to have one! Good luck!

Some community theater groups rent out costumes.
M.C.Hammer may have one laying around.
