Quote HistoryQuoted:
All dress standards have declined. In 1967 when my brother and took our first flight to Florida, we dressed in tan slacks and plaid shirts neatly pressed by our mom. All the other passengers were in dresses for women and coats and ties for the men.Flying was still an occasion for many people. Today flying is more like being on a cattle car, and with a similar standard for hygiene. People have far less pride in appearance no matter where they may be. Some consideration should go to 2019 flyers for dressing for the strip search rather than the flight. |

I've heard both the finger lines used talking about hiring practices for commercial diving back in the day (easy to lose fingers doing flange ups and other stuff with little to no visibility) |

Sorry no linky, but the cabinet shop I worked at had old turn of the century photos like that, half the crew was coming in to work in a wool three piece suit, tie, white stand up collar shirt. The other half were in overalls, standing around the planes, table saws and moulders.
Very common, look around. Men wore suits to labor in. Find photos of Harlem pre 1960 and it's the same thing. Men and women in what we now consider formal business attire going about their business. Take a good look at the buildings, too. They were in great repair, not run down. Look now. It's not any different across town - everybody has gone casual with no standard of dress. I get men walking in wearing hoodies, fleece homie pant jammies, and flip flops. "I need a mode door actuator for my Silverado." Then back out to the car to get their wallet because no pockets. Locally it will be 62 and rain today, I can guarantee a dozen guys will walk in wearing a canvas work jacket, basketball shorts and Adidas shower shoes, and a baseball cap with a football team emblem. Sunday has nothing to do with it. American men have been sold a fantasy they are all highly paid sports starts who manage a ranch and drive oil field trucks.

I'd say that pic was staged.....Ties were worn by supervisors, it was a badge of "rank" on the shop floor.
This is more like it.....Coveralls and bibs seemed to be the the main attire.

My grandfather was a carpenter at Brewster Aircraft during the war. I have a picture of him at work with a short sleeve dress shirt and tie. A lot of those guys in coveralls and overalls had what we'd consider dress clothes underneath.
Then I go to church and see a 30 year old man wearing a hoodie and jeans I wouldn't wear to work. But I guess that's God's problem. |
