Yes, like the thing with all these oversized denim-jackets in the 90's, on which not less people asked for the sense of this.

And his wretched and useless namesake son.
The photo is amazing. It appears JFK and RFK were more or less the same size.

I suppose it's possible the model in that pic is so petite that she's wearing Alpha's smallest sized jacket and it's still too big, but I doubt it, and I think it's just a style thing.
Robert was actually wearing John's G-1 in this photo.
I am old enough to have seen a number of these fashions come and go, only to repeat the cycle. Skin tight jeans, loose and baggy jeans, skin tight jeans, baggy jeans...etc.
Bell bottoms, straight cut legs, bell bottoms, straight cut legs, bell bottoms...
When the designers run out of ideas, they just steal from the past.

I wondered if that might be his big brother's jacket. Thanks for the detail; it makes it all the more poignant.

That's what I meant: the jacket fits both of them.

I love this movie!
A few B&W and color shots from one of my favorite movies, "Strategic Air Command," with Jimmy Stewart.

it looks like another good nylon porn movie
hard to find a cheap copy, though
Based on the photos here, I ordered the movie, $18 with shipping. Bluray. I think it was filmed mostly at Carswell, in Ft. Worth.

It was filmed at MacDill AFB in Tampa as well. A lot of the flightline buildings in the movie were still there last time I went on base. I think there's some aerial footage of the Tampa Bay Area in the movie as well.
