How many men have worn Knickerbockers as a boy? They were popular in the early 20 century. Some time they were called Baggy- Kneed trousers.
I did back in the 30.

We called them Knickers and the Kodak folding camera took 120 film with 8 exposure

Yes, I wore them all through grade school and while selling Blue Streaks on the street corners downtown.
I can still hear the music of that Corduroy !

Yep, I wore them as a young boy. Nee 1928. It was a big deal when we graduated from knickers to longies.

I forgot about the Corduroy!
I'm not old enough for the other items mentioned!
