Jack Schlossberg brings a piece of his grandfather with him whenever he suits up.
In an appearance on “Radio Andy” on Tuesday, he kept it politically formal, wearing a light blue button-down shirt under his navy suit and adding a blue printed tie with a personal connection.
When host Andy Cohen asked what Schlossberg counts as his “favorite family heirloom” from late grandfather John F. Kennedy or uncle John F. Kennedy Jr., the budding politician pointed to his very own neck.
“This is my favorite tie. It’s JFK’s tie,” Schlossberg replied.
“I wear it for good luck,” he continued, laughing, “Today was a big day for me because I am with Andy Cohen. That’s the coolest.”
Always well dressed, one might think Schlossberg has an overflowing wardrobe to pull from for formal occasions.
However, he stated, “I have five ties. I only wear five ties ever,” adding, “This is one of them.”
While the 33-year-old has worn the special neck accessory on many a TV appearance, rally and the like, he’s also chosen it for a number of poignant events.
Through the years, he’s worn the tie to mom Caroline Kennedy’s nomination hearing for US Ambassador to Japan in 2013, a White House appearance in 2024, the “Today” show announcement of the JFK Profile in Courage Award in 2023 and more.
When it comes to his late uncle, the heirlooms are few and far between.
Schlossberg said, “I have like a watch that doesn’t work.”
“He lost most of his clothes apparently. He was given a lot of like JFK heirlooms, and I think he lost them all,” he added.
Page Six Style exclusively reported earlier this year that the location of John F. Kennedy Jr. and wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s wardrobe is largely a mystery, though some items have been sold at auction posthumously or given away before their deaths.
