It seems the older I get to more I reflect back to my youth on how things have been lost from the growing up into today's ways. Somethings seem to never change but other things sure have.
Last week I was to a small country town that has a little shopping left on main street. I bought a flat cap which I haven't had in many years. As a kid it was the hat/cap I grew up wearing. I don't have but a few pictures of myself as young person but the one I have I'm wearing a flat cap. My parents started me off on them and during the late high school years I stopped wearing them but am starting to wear them again now. My grandpa had a saddle/harness/shoe shop, and he must have sold the flat cap there.
Country folk, farmers and ranchers wore them in the day. It was working man's hat and going out on Saturday to town night hat.
I still have one from a kid that I wore. When my son was about 4 years old, I dug it out and took a picture of him in that flat cap the one I wore about his age. I have a picture of me in that hat and one of him in the same hat.
Anything in your youth that was fallen by the wayside with fashion, how things are done or traditions etc... etc.
