They were pretty poor. I was born in 1958. I remember the great battles to be allowed to wear denim at school -- and the even bigger battle for girls to wear anything but dresses. It was still true in the early 1970s that only the poorest farm children wore denim to school, because that's all they had.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999430801003441981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-1294631989547964772014-01-14T09:35:48.986+00:002014-01-14T09:35:48.986+00:00Yes, I have big aspirations for denim chic!
