Thanks.

Love it....my Husband also will use the older weaved sports jacket and toss it on over his overalls.....the way you captured yourself in this picture is just fantastic. Like a time capsule going back to the mid 1940's.....

Thank you. Every once in a while I manage to make a good photo.

Classic look. Reminds me of how my granddad used to dress.

Your granddad must have been a fine man.

Yup, pretty much uniform of the day for hog killing, fence building, brush burning, cotton choppin', meat smokin' and hootch drinkin' here on the place.

I could definitely join in on those last two in particular.

I thought I responded to this thread but evidently I didn't. This style of dressing was common among my older farmer relatives, born in the 1880s and 1890s and up to about 1920.

They wore bib overalls, work shirt, smock ( a loose denim jacket) straw hat and rubber boots when they were working around the barn. If they had to go into town to deliver the cream or to go to the hardware store they would go to the house, wash up, and put on leather boots, an old suit coat and an old fedora. This is how they would dress to go to the creamery, to town, to the livestock auction or similar. For church and formal occasions they had nice suits and new shoes and hats, white shirts and ties.

The younger crowd dressed more or less as you see today with John Deere or DeKalb baseball caps plaid shirts and jeans or work pants.

Welcome anytime. Hootch is generally plentiful. Need about 24 hours notice for a good feed. Be advised, accomidations are a bit Spartan. Come prepared.

Mine used to dress the same way back on the farm, so did all his friends.

Picked up a pair of Key Imperial Hickory Stripe bibs and a Ralph Lauren (RRL) tuxedo jacket at the thrift this morning. Not sure that combo will work though ...

Now that would be an interesting combination to see.

I'd model them, but the jacket doesn't fit.

I did wear bibs and a jacket at my daughter's wedding.
