My grandmother (1905-1987) started wearing pants in the late 60s, though she often still wore dresses, too, but her dress wearing diminished as the years passed. But she never wore jeans, but polyester pantsuits. I've seen a photo of my Dad from 1935 when he was a 11 and he was wearing a white t-shirt with overalls and wouldn't have looked out of place on the Waltons. As to why you seen the men and boys always in long sleeve shirts, I imagine it was because they couldn't afford to have a lot of variety in their wardrobes. Better to have long sleeves, because you could roll them up in hot weather, but there's nothing you can do with short sleeves in the winter but freeze! I'd imagine the only time they'd have had short sleeve shirts as boys would be when the elbows wore out in a shirt and, instead of throwing it away, they cut off the bottom part of the sleeves and turned it into a short sleeve shirt. But, most of the time, they rolled up their sleeves in hot weather, as we often saw Ben doing. And I think I once saw Jim Bob in the white t-shirt/overalls combo like my Dad wore. And, as someone mentioned, sometimes weraing long sleeves serves as protection for some kinds of work, which would apply to long pants as well. As with the shirts, I think the only time a guy might have had shorts in a family like the Waltons would be when a pair of dungarees wore out in the knees and they cut them off, but probably only used them for swimming if they couldn't afford a pair of trunks. And, of course, for both males and females, what one wore at home and for chores would likely be quite different what they wore when they went out in public. I can't imagine Grandma wearing shorts or pants and she even wore her dresses a bit longer than Olivia and the girls did -- the Baldwin sisters and Martha Corinne did, too. It's not surprising considering that they came of age when grown women wore skirts covering their shoe tops and wearing short skirts was associated with little girls. Olivia, for a short while as a young woman, wore the long dresses for a few years, but not long enough for it to be really ingrained into her, as hems started creeping up in the mid-teens, probably for practical reasons during WWI and reached a modern knee length in the 20s. When I was growing up, we had to wear dresses until I was in the sixth grade (1969-70). At the time, I thought it ludicrous as we were allowed to wear very short mini skirts almost up to our butts, which were far less modest than a pair of pants. We could not wear shorts to school, ever, but we were allowed to wear "culottes", which are baggy shorts with a removable panel in front that hid the divided legs (horrors! ). Few girls wore the culottes, however, as they were quite dorky looking. But, though we had to wear dresses to school, they came off as soon as we got home. There was one girl in my neighborhood whose mother made her wear dresses all the time and the other kids teased her about that, calling her "Little Miss Dainty". Along that same time, my mother, born in 1924, wore pants most of the time at home, visiting family members, going to the grocery store, and similar casual activities. I remember her being especially fond of "pedal pushers", which we call capris today. There's a picture of me and her out in public in 1961 and she's wear a pair of those pedal pushers with espadrille shoes. But she always wore a dress if she was going out to dinner or to church. I'm even old enough to remember women wearing hats to church as well. Here's a photo of my mother from 1942, age 18. She is on the right and is with my aunt and grandmother. Picture was taken in Rhode Island. Her bathing suit was quite a bit more daring that that of her sister. And a few pics in regards to rising skirt lengths Women in 1910 in full length skirts 1915 fashions. Note the rising hemlines. 1920s. Quite a far cry from 1910

I have been going through all my mother's old pictures, and I found some of her and her sisters and friends eating watermelon on a summer day, probably late 1930s or early 1940s. She got married in 1942, so it was before that. Anyway, as you can see, some of the girls were wearing dresses, some were wearing pants, and I'm not sure what that girl in the front was wearing...shorts? short skirt? My mother is the girl on the top left in a white shirt and black pants or skirt (I'm not sure which). Click on the photo to enlarge it.

The girl you are referring to is wearing, I believe "culottes." Looks like a skirt, but there are two leg holes like in shorts.

That's so funny! And BTW, I'm a big Deep Purple fan....I have a bunch of their songs on my "driving music" playlist on Spotify that I listen to in my car.
