It's a faB day to head in 1964 to Joske's in Houston to check out their line of "Yea, Yea, Yea Beatles" sweatshirts. Their ad reminds us that "Beethoven's been usurped as the most 'in' sweatshirt hero..." 📸: Jeff Augsburger 😎 #NEMSmemorabilia

Well, there's a thought... " You'll be a square, unless you dare, to wear THE BEATLES GARTER." Manufactured by Leonard Page & Company in the UK in assorted colors (red, blue, yellow, grey), their license agreement with NEMS was for ‘Ladies fancy garter with locket,’ 😎 #NEMSmemorabilia #TheBeatles

What a faB day to check out this fantastic March 1964 cross-over advertisement from 'The Times' in Shreveport, LA. "...be a Beatle Booster" with their Beatle pullover, t-shirts, hat, or wig, then head to the novelty record section for the "BEATS - The Merseyside Sound" LP. Quite a shopping spree!
