How reassuring to know that after 59 years, one can still find the same tie at both J. Press and Brooks Brothers!

Ivy League, the Milt Famey line is from an old joke, a play on the Schlitz slogan, "the beer that made Milwaukee famous." The joke is about a baseball pitcher, Milt Famey, who walks in the winning run because he was drinking too many Schlitz beers.
