I commonly wore suspender pants as a younger boy. The photograph here shows me in August 1965. I am on a swing. I wear a short sleeve shirt with suspebder long pants. I am wearing a beret on my head, most likely a dark blue color. My pants are suspender pants, meaning pants with straps in the same material as the pants. They were not actual suspenders. At the back the straps cross abd are sewn onto the trouser waistline. At the front, the straps button to the waistband. The purpose of these straps is simple. They prevented the trousers from falling down. Such trousers were also the usual clothing of younger boys. I ws 7 years old when this photograph was taken.
