I like these old videos. This one is coming up on its 90th anniversary so it's a safe bet that every single adult in that video is now dead.

Note how every single adult man wore a full suit, complete with vests, neckties and overcoats. As well as hats! Every grown man had on a hat. Well, except for Babe Ruth, who can be seen in the back, moving right to left, starting around the 3:33 mark. But when you are Babe Ruth in 1930, you could get away with not wearing a hat!

There was pretty much no such thing as casual clothing in those days. Women did the housework in dresses and even on weekends, men would still wear suits. I remember my own father as recently as the 1960s, wearing dress slacks and dress shirts on weekends. His only concession was taking off the necktie.

They had casual clothing back then. But it was not jeans and t-shirts.
