yes, it's one of the lines, which are sold there. seems to be a license thing.

Just curious sir, what does the F stand for? Would be igentlemanly to be on a first name basis.

Will you kindly share that bit of information?

From everything I've ever read about JFK, I don't think he cared at all about clothes beyond how they may have impacted his public image. Cases in point:

  • Supposedly the reason he was photographed so often with a hand in one of his jacket pockets was that he was hiding a cigar. As a result his pockets were full of ashes/burned through, and he was constantly sending his jackets out for repair.
  • The Kennedy clan was notorious for (and took sadistic glee in) beating the hell out of vistors' clothing during their famous family touch football games, meanwhile wearing (and destroying) their own cashmere sweaters, etc., because due to their own privleged circumstances they viewed them as disposable.
  • He indiscriminately wore everything from Brooks Brothers to bespoke.

I read that Bobby changed shirts many times a day, often during meetings as AG. Jack generally took his off for lunch with Marilyn.

I have always heard that Khrushchev had just discovered his shoes were gemmed.
