Re: JFK and Saville Row
I thought he was a Chipp man? I suppose it would not have precluded him from also patronizing the Row.

I don't know, but I'd also suspect A&S.

Re: JFK and Saville Row
According to 'Hatless Jack' Kennedy had suits made by the firm of John Morgan including a dark gray pinstripe for the inauguration.
It got bad publicity though because it was seen as not supporting the American clothing industry and John Morgan 'ended up dressing not John F Kennedy on his inauguration day, but the waxwork Kennedy at Madame Tussaud's museum in London'.Kennedy stopped wearing British suits entirely.
Even LBJ had British suits though from Carr, Son & Woor on Savile Row.

Re: JFK and Saville Row
For a rich Yank wanting a soft shoulder in London back then I'd still say A&S.
... But to be honest, back then he could have got one from more than a few places at various degrees of cost & quality.
Didn't Chris_H have a Polish guy up in North London back then who could cut?
If Jack ever went to Austin's then I'd be interested.

Re: JFK and Saville Row
^^ And wouldn't that be interesting?
... I shall write a play where Jack gets hammered down the Coach & Horses & has to get kitted up in Austin's because he's knackered all his togs rucking with some geezers down Berwick Street Market...
Later he'll get spiked down The Scene and father a child with PP Arnold...

Re: JFK and Saville Row
Even better - Jack The Hat and JFK try to dodge Ronnie & Reggie. I'm seeing a computer game, a film, the works.
