Wash Jeans in Shower

School clothing

In elementary school my mom usually sent me in corduroy or twill pants, as I was a "town" kid. Occasionally I'd wear jeans if it was bad winter weather. In junior high I'd go in jeans about half the time, and in high school, either jeans (sometimes shorts) or cords.

Our school (public) had no restriction on boys wearing jeans, as it was a fairly rural area. Most of the farm boys wore them on a regular basis. However, until junior high, girls had to wear dresses or skirts with a top unless it was extremely cold and snowy. They were also expected to wear bras if they had anything much to put in one.

In high school there was a girl named Trudy that would routinely get sent home for wearing VERY short skirts, and low cut tops. When she bent over to drink from the fountain, she'd attract lots of guys. My sister got sent home once for too short of dress, and mom said it was NOT to happen again if she knew what was good for her.

As for hair, the main thing was it had to be kept clean. Some boys my senior year ('74) had a moustache and/or sideburns, which were fine as long as they weren't extreme. Anything more than on Burt Reynolds in the attached pic would have probably caused a problem.

I never heard of this until more recently years. Wouldn’t try it. In the 90s when I was in college, Levi’s 501s were all the rage, but I don’t recall hearing about people doing this back then, either. My friend and I used to comb thrift and vintage clothing stores for the right fade and fit, usually going for ones from the 70s, and I’d wash and line dry. I still have some Levi’s and would wear them now, but I have a few pounds to lose before I can fit into them .

I do remember the pegged legged jeans from the 80s, and also tucking them into socks (about circa 1987). I also had a Bomber jacket like the girl’s in the right.
