My Grandad had about 4 pair of Osh Gosh striped bibs, and as many blue chambry shirts. The bibs were "Grease monkey" the ones used doing engine rebuild, lying under equipment , painting, any nasty job. Then there was "Patches". Clean but patched by Grandma with the treadle Singer. Then "Townboy" wear to town for shopping, or parts run. And last "Luther" washed, starched and ironed bibbs for Sunday morning church only. As they wore out Grease Monkey would go in the rag bagNew Luthers bought and the rest move down a notch. In the winter it got pretty interesting. There were no insulated Carharts then,so over his trap door union suit he would don as many pair of those bibs as necessary. Starting on the inside with the better bibs and ending up with grease monkey or Patches on the outside. On a cold Sunday he would start with Townboy first and Luther on last. Yep, straw hat for work, snap brim Stetson fedora for church and go-to-meetin. Hi top shoes year round. Five buckle overshoes Nov to April. Case pocket knife at all times. Pocket watch with a JD tractor Fob in bib top pocket along with pencil stub and a little notebook.. Abalone shell silver ring he got from a box of Cheerios, and a wedding band. Just wore the rings on Sundays or "visitin". Red cotton bandana in right rear pocket, grease rag in left rear. I really loved that old man.
