Larry King's On-Air Uniform

Your item ''Larry the Shrinking Violet'' ((Chronicles, Nov. 29)) noted that I had dropped by a party held by Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen the night of the Administration's NAFTA victory. I was en route to a taping of my show at CNN, and I was not wearing a ''cozy white warm-up outfit,'' as you said, but my usual on-air uniform: dress shirt, tie, suspenders, respectable dark dress trousers and my favorite baseball jacket, which celebrates Japan's Nippon Ham Fighters team. That didn't seem to bother anyone; President Clinton even asked where he could get a jacket like mine. I own no white warm-up outfits, cozy or otherwise. I always dress nice.
