JFK and Fenn-Feinstein, 1961
JFK and Ribicoff, 1960*
"Officials at Frank Brothers Fenn-Feinstein aren't talking but from our Washington sources we hear the New Haven clothing firm is now making all of President John Kennedy's suits after he dumped his previous tailor for cashing in on the publicity. We understand the president chose the New Haven establishment after admiring the attire of Health, Education & Welfare Sec. Abraham Ribicoff who has been a Fenn-Feinstein customer for years. The president's brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, is also an F-F steady..."

*Obviously before JFK wore Fenn-Feinstein (if he ever did, that is; I've never seen any other reference to JFK having suits made by Fenn-Feinstein).

Mufti Muster, 1955

New civvies come in khaki and o.d.
The two newest colors in male clothing this fall are khaki and olive drab -- colors which men swore 10 years ago they were taking off for good. Although the new mufti looks as military as a salute, it is an outgrowth of the khaki and olive green cotton suits which "Ivy look" wearers (LIFE, Nov. 22, 1954) have take up as a summer alternative to charcoal flannel. Manufacturers have now expanded their selection, and light tans and muddy greens appear in sports car clothes, jackets, raincoats, business suits. A peacetime platoon of college students and young businessmen (below) shows how closely the outfits match up to 3rd Infantry uniforms (left). In their civilian status, khaki and o.d. will probably be worn by conservative males with white shirts and black knit ties, but more venturesome wearers may prefer checked shirts which are also new for town.

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29, 1968
Alumni Day, Harvard, 1968
"Stunning the Yale defense with two touchdowns, two two-point conversions, and an onside kick, the Crimson played its way back into the game and into the annals of history. The final score may have been a tie, but the celebratory home crowd rushing the field indicated that it was anything but, leading The Crimson to print its famed headline “Harvard beats Yale 29-29.” (The Harvard Crimson, 11/21/08)
You could do worse with your time than spend 105 minutes of it watching the documentary "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29", as I did last week. There's not a second devoted to The Ivy League Look, but don't let that stop you. And if you suffer from severe politicophobia, don't worry. While both Al Gore (Harvard '69 and roommate of Tommy Lee Jones, who played offensive guard for Harvard) and George Bush (Yale '68, first cousin of the filmmaker and roommate of Yale tackle Ted Livingston) are mentioned, neither appear in the film.

Well Suited for the White House, 1961
(click each to enlarge)
"As the fashion designers noted with dismay, his business suits fail to conform to current Ivy League fashion in several respects."
"The Kennedy suit is, says Harris, "modern conservative." There is no padding in the shoulders, partly because padding is no longer in style but mainly because the President is broad-shouldered and needs none. The jackets have two buttons instead of the usual three because John Kennedy prefers to wear them that way (and also, says Sam Harris, because Sam Harris prefers to make them that way). Recent reports indicate that two-button suits are coming back into style anyhow, probably owing to the President's example. Harris insists that the presidential lapels are neither too wide nor too narrow; they are, he says, "medium conservative." They are definitely not in the skinny Ivy League mode, however. Neither are the trousers, which are just slightly on the narrow side."
