Photo of JFK wearing double-sided cuff links?

Kent Wang · Nov 21, 2009

I'm looking for a photo that was posted either here or on AAAC about two years ago. It was a picture of JFK wearing double-sided cuff links. You can only see his arms, as the shot is from below while he has his hands outstretched to shake the hands of the audience. By seeing the underside of his cuff, it is clear that his cuff links are double-sided. I believe the National Mall and/or the Washington Monument is in the background. I'll send one pocket square or set of double-sided cuff links ($30 or less, or credit towards any purchase) from my store to whoever can provide this. Thanks.

Haven't found exactly what you're looking for yet, but thought I'd share this: http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/505...D5697B907F1B93

Thanks, that's a good one. Though some of your links are broken. I found this one. Not quite as epic as the one I'm looking for, though.

So what's wrong with the two stmny posted? Your description makes it sound like there's no way to tell it's actually JFK in the photo you're thinking of (if it's just his arm) so wouldn't you rather have a perfectly clear shot of the double-sided cufflinks that also shows the rest of him in a perfectly respectable photo?

This is a cool pic. Very stylish IMO; the epitome of that early-mid 60s aesthetic that Mad Men is over exaggerating right now, only very well done, no doubt due to a bespoke suit and a natural looking pocket square...

No. The one I'm looking for is oriented horizontally and you see both hands outstretched, symmetrically. Visually, it's quite striking.

That's a good point. I'll have to think about which I'm going to use. I suppose you can tell it's at least someone very important as you can see the National Mall in the background.
