Old Photo of yours truly

My Mother found this while cleaning out some junk at my Grandparents place. I am guessing i was around 4-5 or so at the time of the picture. I can't say I am overly impressed with the pants though. My Mother made them more than likely. "Store bought" clothes weren't really a thing for us back then. They were all Hand me Downs or made from scratch.

Vertical stripes make look you taller.

Looks like you had, making money on your mind early!!

I think you should try to find some pants like that and wear them to the next convention. I didn't know they had muskrats that big in Minnesota.

And you’re probably still wetting the bed…

Rough crowd huh 160?

I had pair of tweeds ..just like those. Mom bought them at the side walk Bizarre clearance rack

So when did firearms enter the picture ?

Bell bottoms, no less!

Cool pants and a $6.00 Rat

" Coat of many colors that my Mama made for me" Nice pic.

I haven't mastered the rubber band trick that you use yet.

I likely had one in my boot or an SOB holster in that picture.

It was the 70's!

Yep stripes or plaid like I wore in those day is what the cool kids wore.

I don't know, man...I had an eerily similar pair of pants from about that same era. and strangely enough, I was about the same age as you in the pic. (I was maybe a couple years older.)

your Mom shop at K-Mart back in the day?

[both of our moms should have been cited for child abuse]

Nope I don't think we got a K Mart here until probably 1980 or so but they could have been a hand me down from some rich kid who's Mom shopped at the K Mart.

HA!

Sears mail order then it was those pants came from.

at least there is no patch beside a patch
or heavens forbid
a patch on a patch
cause that's poverty

Actually, that is quite possible. My Maternal Grandmother worked at Sears. She may have used her employee discount to buy me a Christmas gift of GOOD pants......to wear trapping rats!

You don't look cold.I knew some kids that wore socks on their hands to come to school

LOL They were the in thing back then.

Early 70's. I had a pair of pants like that for game days. We were required to wear our good clothes with a tie on days we had games(football or basketball). Mine were also bell bottoms.

Did they have a spring season on rats back then.....what's the statue of limitations on stuff like this.

The Paraguayan’s wear pants like that here.

The who?

I was in my twentys in the 70’s, and all my dress clothes then had da big bell bottoms! Wonder when they’re coming back! Everything is a cycle.

Bet your wore the Wonder Bread bags ovah yah socks ...cuz your boots leaked....

My mom bought our pants like that at a store called Twin Fair

so what year would that be [160] I also remember kids with pants like that early in the 70s , might even had a pair that mom made me , I always got new homemade clothes because I was taller than my older brother's

sure wish we could have afforded a camera so i had pic, of my trapping back then

I would guess that was 1975 or 1976 but that is just a guess. I believe it was taken on the "Little Field on the Creek" behind my Grandparents place but I am not sure.

Looking good Rob. Nice to see a kid with a muskrat in his hand rather than a computer toy.

That is probably a very recent picture of you. Nice muskrat.
