The Two-Button Suit, 1962

The Ivy League Look is now petering out and the two button suit is back in a burst of presidential glory. [. . . ] Brooks Brothers, the famous stamping ground of the Ivy League look, saw the two button suit revival coming from a long way back. Brooks has been perfecting its new two button collection for two years. President Kennedy's sponsorship of the new style is purely coincidental.

"The history of 'traditionalism' once called 'Ivy League,' dates back before World War II, when students at Eastern universities espoused the fashion cause of comfort and smartness without ostentation. They chose the soft-collared shirt, natural shoulder, muted colors and soft fabrics in all their clothing."

A few words about Frank J. Reilly, President of Wren Shirts Ltd...
"Mr. Reilly built a successful career in the outerwear business. He began as a salesman for the Manhattan Shirt Company in 1945 and in the course of a 50-plus year career rose to influence the design and marketing of some of the best-known brands in the garment business.
In the early 1970s, Mr. Reilly became US vice president of the Men's Wear Division for Jaeger Fashions. As such, he helped make one of the premier British woolens manufacturers a success in the US market for men's high fashion.
Subsequently, Mr. Reilly became a vice president at Izod Lacoste, which had the US rights to the brand established in Europe by tennis great Jean Rene Lacoste. Nicknamed "Le Crocodile" for his tenacious style of play on the courts, Lacoste founded a company to produce sports shirts and used Le Crocodile (universally referred to as the alligator) for a logo. Mr. Reilly's marketing and design savvy soon helped make the alligator virtually ubiquitous, and extended the line beyond shirts to a general line of sports wear for both men and women.
He often said that the proudest moment of his career was when he became president of Wren Shirts and thus a vice president of the parent company Kayser Roth*. At the time, it made him the youngest vice president of any Fortune 500 company in the US. Remarking on Mr. Reilly's career, a colleague once said, 'He's one of the few people I know who succeeded in business without stepping on people.'"

"I can't stand preppy boys", 1962
It's a fortunate thing that pixie-like Jean Leslie Allen has never depended on boys.
Now that she's won the national junior miss contest, the daughter of a Providence, RI, pediatrician finds shes' getting a stream of phone calls from boys who "just want to go out with a title."
On the other hand, the boys she would enjoy dating don't call because of her sudden fame.
Fortunately, Jean has her feet very much on the ground, and continues to enjoy the houseful of kids ever present in a family of five children. She's noticed that when her brother, a student at Brown University, brings dates over, that she's subjected to more scrutiny than usual, but she remains unconcerned.
Jean knows the kind of boys she likes - and doesn't like. "I can't stand preppy boys. They all look alike. The Harvard haircut, the identical sports clothes. Boys my age try to (sic) hard to conform. That's why I prefer boys a little older."
