There are some state secrets to which only the President is privy.
Certain others, however, are shared by the Brotherhood. Like the proper way to tie a bow-tie. That’s shared by the Brooks Brothers-hood.
Thursday night at Brooks Brother’s, Historian of the clothier that has outfitted 39 U.S. Preisdents (including Lincoln, Kennedy and Obama), Kelly Nickel, taught the time-honored tradition of how to properly tie one on just in time for this month’s inaugural festivities.
Between instructions, guests sampled a menu of President Kennedy’s favorite cocktails and nibbled on passed preferred bites of other notables in office.
