Note that you call them "denim dungarees" . . . thus Navy and not hippie attire.

When did the Navy get rid of the bellbottoms? I don't recall seeing any in recent photos. But I'm not very Navy-conscious because my family all "carry dirt to dig holes in" - strictly Army with a couple of Marines thrown in for effect, except for Uncle Henry Augustus who was paymaster on Dewey's flagship at Manila Bay.
