    This codger reminds me of my Grandpa Ben. Mainly the way he's dressed, my Grandpa dressed like that in the 70's.

    A lot of old time farmers used to dress like that. Some still do. What has surprised me in looking at some of these pictures is how widespread and common overalls were in some areas.
