"Dungarees".....that's too funny.

There were Dungarees and there were trousers. My dad still calls them trousers.
i have a pair of brown chords now, hated them back then when I didn't have a choice, now I choose to wear them every once in a while.

Trousers.. ... there's an old school word

 

[70NPORT]

True for Dungarees also.

I can honestly say that I never had parachute pants.

I've had a pair or two....

While we're on the subject, when I was a kid, my mother used to buy me dungarees. WhenTH did "dungies" become JEANS?

No item of clothing is more American than the blue jeans invented in 1873 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. These two visionary immigrants, turned denim, thread and a little metal into the most popular clothing product in the world. Waist overalls, was the traditional name for work pants, which is what these first jeans were called. The word jeans became more popular around 1960 when the baby-boom generation adopted the term for its favorite type of pants, blue jeans..

Nice, Bob. Learned something new. I always wondered how the word "jeans" came about---cause I've never known any other word for them.

I remember the term "Levi's" used a lot in the 60's and 70's.

French jeans" back in the day......Jordash....Baronelli.....

 

[1978 NYB]

That was insane then......still is to me today. I would never pay $100+ for a pair of jeans because it has a name on it.

 

[70NPORT]

Yeah, that is ridiculous.

 

[polara71]

Levis.. ........

I'd pay a lot more than $100+ for a pair of jeans because it has a name in it.
