Caning Offences17

Back in the 1950s/60s few boys wore any fashionable clothes. This was partly due to the  lack of cash in many families. However as I remember such clothing wasn’t available. Better off families even bought two sets of school uniform, one for best, this might have been in the next size up and would have replaced their day to day school clothes with a new set of clothes being bought for best.
Back then few boys had any interest in wearing smart clothes and it wasn’t really available anyway. Clothes was expected to wear out before it was replaced. It wasn’t until the 1960s that fashionable clothes for youngsters really became available. This was the time that the ‘pop music scene’ really took off. The thought of replacing clothes before it was grown out of or worn out was unheard of. The modern spate of charity shops just didn’t exist
