West Central Indiana | My Granddad (89) was never allowed (by my Grandmother) to go to town in dirty or ragged clothes. He still wears a coat and tie to Church and NEVER wears short sleeves. I wear bibs and a button up shirt just about everywhere. Usually don't wear them to Church but most everywhere else. For evening meetings such as Farm Bureau, Fair Board, etc. I pick out a fairly new clean pair and then wear them for work the next day. I'm not ashamed to go to town in dirty or well worn clothes to me it is a sign of hard work. I have changed out of a really ragged pair on occasion. I wear bibs for 2 reasons, number one I like them they are comfortable and functional, and two they are a reminder of the days shown in those pics when neighbors were still neighborly. The pair in this pic is getting well worn but not wore out because there is not a hole above the right knee.
