If that's what this is, then prove it. Post the shoe circle photos.

I've said it before and I'll say it again a thousand times: JFK is stylistically overrated, by leagues. I just don't see the reason for all the fuss. Reagan appeals to me a lot more.

It's not our fault you don't appreciate the most stylish era in clothing history.

They all look nice and same. According to me your question is weight less, you should ask about the dresses of US president's wife. There you will definitely find a point to make judgments.

+1. Kennedy is a legend because he died young with a twist of mystery still attached to his assasination.

He was fresh, charismatic and different.

Reagan was a Huntsman customer but the magic was not there unless you're politically inclined to find greatness in him.

What is that hanging off the front of the jacket?

I agree with Mafoo, strangely enough. I love the 60s, but feel that Regan looks better than Kennedy. Not to say that Kennedy doesn't look good, but Harry the Haberdasher looked like he actually had fun with it, whereas Kennedy's just wearing the outfit of his breeding. JFK is overrated in just about every respect, imo, due to his mystique that surrounds him. Had Nixon won and done everything exactly the as Kennedy, Nixon would be nothing more than another name in history and would likely have been derided by the American people. Kennedy was Teflon.

I also have to give some credit to Reagan and Ford
