About that fateful day’s famous Jackie Kennedy pink Chanel suit:

Not Chanel. Not French.

To be sure it was USA made, she commissioned an exact copy manufactured in Manhattan.

Michael Horowicz I’ve known for decades — his father was the tailor who made it.

Jankiel Horowicz (renamed Jack in the new world) was a Polish army tailor before deportation to a concentration camp. Liberation in ’46 and our military set him up in a small Bavarian town shop. Clients included high-ranking US officers stationed in Germany.

Emigrating in ’52, he joined the ILGWU, became a “finisher” and Oscar de la Renta sample maker on 39th between B’way and Seventh across from Dubrow’s cafeteria.

Michael: “Much excitement when my father began working on the First Lady’s suit. One year pre-assassination, Jackie ordered it in an East Side boutique. The finishing work was farmed out to my father at the de la Renta shop.”

Odds & end

Bravo’s Andy Cohen. Not like he only likes unreal housewives. He just got a rescue dog . . . Plus-size model Emme: “To feel pretty when pregnant, it’s comfy undies.” . . . Cindy Crawford’s p.s.: “Also a maternity support belt to support the tummy.” . . . Hint to know when Quentin Tarantino’s starting a new screenplay: He always buys a notebook and three red, three black felt pens.

Booking Abe

Brace for another Lincoln bookload. Please. He’s done zero for us lately. The fed’s even blowing off Abe’s historic penny. But March brings “The Civil War: The Final Year Told by Those Who Lived It” — and who knew they’d still be around. January it’s “Mrs. Lincoln’s Rival,” and we’re talking long before the days — and nights — of Simon Cowell’s newly divorced mattress partner.

Enough already with Lincoln.

Stunts for Spike

Spike Lee’s rough tough new film “Oldboy” features a laundry list of rough tough types. One’s Michael Imperioli.

“I play Chucky, best friend since childhood to Josh Brolin’s character. The only person he can turn to. I own a local watering hole. But this movie’s violence was beyond belief.

“I play gangster parts. I know this type stuff. I do martial arts work. I understand how it’s done step by step. Bit by bit. But I hate violence on-screen. I turn away even though I can see the smoke and mirrors.

“This one was a killer. Big-time rehearsing. Daily. Plotting move by move. It’s choreography. Wrong punch in a wrong position, an actor gets hit in the mouth. We’d redo scene after scene. I always catch Spike at Knicks games. He’s loyal to me. Never sold out. This is my sixth movie with Spike. But this one, for one angle, for one scene, we’d reshoot . . . carefully . . . very carefully . . . 12 times.”

Hot market

The Asian market’s hot. They’re buying NYC’s A-1 real estate, art, jewelry, cars — in cash. Calvin, Kors, Vuitton and luxe brands are focusing on Shanghai’s high purchasing power consumer. Designer Zang Toi, whose atelier is on East 48th, is now in Singapore. A panel with Suzy Menkes. An international luxury conference.

This column started with Chanel. Ends with Chanel. Furrier Dennis Basso’s new 10,500-square-foot, three-story shop now customs in-house with seamstresses right on Madison Avenue (Catherine Zeta-Jones’ first two post-Michael separation numbers — bronze beaded gown and a coral beaded on blue silk — were his).

Basso: “This lady I know saved an unworn Chanel, saying: ‘I’ll wear it to my husband’s funeral.’ She died six years later. He took his housekeeper — wearing his late wife’s suit — to her funeral.”

Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
