NBC FEATURE January 19, 1961 PRESIDENT-ELECT KENNEDY LIKES ‘EASY CLOTHES1 So Says His Tailor on ’Dave Garroway Today Show’ , A man who should know said this morning (Thursday, Jan. 19) on NBC-TV*s "The Dave Garroway Today Show" that President-elect Kennedy doesn’t care for "Beatnik or Ivy League clothes . " Samuel Harris of New York, Mr. Kennedy’s tailor and clothes stylist, said the President-elect "likes well-fitting, conservative clothes, befitting his position." "He likes easy clothes," Harris said. "He is a very fast moving man and he doesn't like to be bound. He is not the gray flannel type. He wears dark clothes - blue or charcoal gray. " Harris said he doesn’t have to pad the shoulders of Mr. Kennedy's suits. "The President-elect has very square and high shoulders," he explained. Although Mrs. Kennedy often accompanies her husband when he buys clothes, Mr. Kennedy chooses his own suits, he said. Harris said his firm has been serving the Kennedy family for the past 10 or 12 years. Asked what the President-elect pays for a suit, Harris replied: "You'll have to ask Pierre Salinger" (Mr. Kennedy’s news secretary) . o PRESS DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK 20, NEW YORK
