I had to wear slacks and a sport coat to go to the state capitol and photograph the senators and house members making the laws. And to Governor's Wallace's office when he had a press conference, or made a state of the state speech. It was dang near impossible to find "normal" slacks in that era, except the slacks from a suit.
Those fashion designers of the era needed a punch in the nose and motivation to get back to normal fashions. I really feel sorry for women. The fashions changed fast, and the prices were nuts. All just to sell more clothes.
Eff all the fashion designers.

Levi was a designer with no fashion in mind. How things changed.
