Add 'famous label clothes' for kids and teens. In the fifties you had Keds for the summer and Tom McCann or Buster Brown for the winter - often bought at the "farmers' market". You had dungarees and T-shirts from Sears or Penny's. Your jacket depended on the baseball team in your town and you also got it at Sears.

Nobody cared at all as long as your clothes were clean and your shoes didn't have holes.

You are correct about clothes. And most of our new clothes came at Christmas, new school year and Easter. I hated Santa for bringing clothes instead of toys but now I understand.

Start of school was time for new shoes a couple of pair of pants and some shirts. Easter was when we got our one “best outfit”.

I came from a large family and clothes were passed down.
