As a caddy in the early 70's I remember sitting where that yellow bag is in the photo, above me on the deck, Jackie O. sipping a bloody mary chatting with a friend. I wish I cared enough to listen in, but at fourteen I was more concerned with tips for unloading bags from Bentleys and scoring that 18 hole double bag "Loop". Rose walked the first hole about once a week and seemed to really love the course. The Kennedy's also hosted an annual cookout at the Compound for the caddy's. Wish I saved the all green caddy garb which did not include anything red. I could go on and on .....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-21207521544635120572011-02-09T06:34:17.878-05:002011-02-09T06:34:17.878-05:00GF IV knows the rules; magnificent sartorial pedig...GF IV knows the rules; magnificent sartorial pedigree, and a gentleman of note.Richard Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-76260412724657078382011-02-09T04:58:26.496-05:002011-02-09T04:58:26.496-05:00Toadie...gotcha.

An absolutely lovely hand and weight, neither poplin nor twill. Blessedly year 'round it was, went with everything, the just-right shade of deep burnt red [no, not "rust"], with none of the BS status identified with regional resort wear. Now that you've got me going, Bean also had an inimitable tattersall shirt ca 70s and 80s, made me weak at the knees, long sleeve BD, came in two colourways red/black and tan/blue on white ground, again a beautiful hand that laundered and wore like iron, oh come back LL Bean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-91386548218102847072011-02-08T17:06:14.870-05:002011-02-08T17:06:14.870-05:00where did you find said trove?where did you find said trove?MAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352496359242843567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-82848735542910530782011-02-08T12:22:27.911-05:002011-02-08T12:22:27.911-05:00Toad's aversion was to wearing canvas pants in...Toad's aversion was to wearing canvas pants in high summer.

...Ok....stop all of the JFK swooning here girlies. <br /><br />"....it is how they are worn that is the ultimate factor in the evaluation..." I totally agree. Actually, your logic prevails for all style/aesthetic choices one makes. Authenticity is manifest mostly in the degree of aplomb associated with confidently manifesting ones choices. <br /><br />Sankety Head...keep the Kama Sutra out of this post please.<br /><br />Preptiles....classic.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-62483804400247836372011-02-07T18:34:41.150-05:002011-02-07T18:34:41.150-05:00Nantucket Reds can successfully transfer to other ...Nantucket Reds can successfully transfer to other locations, too.

I may have been living in Arlandria when I learned the term for Lousianans who grow up in the swamp and emerge in Weejuns and Lacoste shirts: Preptiles.

I love the Reds - alas, I'll feel so lame if I wear them now since I've never been to Nantucket - only in a limerick as told by some not-so-smartie pants 4th grade boy when I was at Andrew Jackson Elementary School. He got in BIG TROUBLE, too, by the way. :-) And let's just face it, JFK makes anything look good ;-) xoxoSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173303399522862906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-32332039254679144712011-02-06T12:51:52.562-05:002011-02-06T12:51:52.562-05:00Great pic.
