is “in.”
At least it is fashion-wise,
according to one of the latest
trends supposedly sweeping the
cutting-edge high-fashion setters.
Rejoice, farm folk friends, for
the sort of chore duds we don on a
daily basis are being sought out by
the hip, the hep, the rockers and
the rappers.
Work clothes are “hot.” On the
other hand, one fashion report I
recently read quoted a boutique
owner as noting that the manual
labor look is “cool.” All depends
on your preferred terminology.
Sturdy cotton twill jackets like
equipment repairmen might wear
on a chilly day and the style of
light coveralls favored by our
daughter when she used to milk or
clip cows arc reportedly turning
up on the racks of funky bou
tiques. So are heavy work boots

And, by gosh, denim is BIG
again. But then, ‘round the farm,
denim is always big.
What other fabric, for goodness
sake, can be dragged through the
mud by an obstinate show calf,
hung on the yard fence for a cou
ple of days, wrapped around a
greasy part hauled to the equip
ment dealer, mildew while
wrapped in a damp ball halfway
under the pickup seat - then after a
good laundering be worn, accepta
bly, to call on your favorite
banker?
Just try that with your good
Sunday suit and see what it looks
like afterward.
Our denim jeans nearly always
see a second life as a pair of denim
shorts. While, once upon a time,
no farmer worth his hayfork
would be caught dead with knees

Colored denim is resurging
with this wave of fashion, turning
up in the likes of pink denim jum

garb in a variety of denim shades -
all hues of blue, except for my rat
ty pair of beige denim cutoffs..
Then there’s the continuing
high-fashion popularity of that
farm classic of recent years - the
tee shirt. Colored tee-shirts
become standard garb hereabouts
just as soon as the weather warms
enough for them to hang their
quilted flannel shirts on the near

forget where they left them.
We generally lay in a new sup
ply each spring, in anticipation of
the sunsplashed season ahead. I
have rooted through an entire
counter of tee-shirts on sale to find
extra-larges in their preferred
colors.
And checkout clerks give me
one of those cocked-head, raised
eyebrow looks when 1 check out
with eight or ten colored pocket
tees at one time.
Actually, the popularity of
these favorites has enabled me to
sort of color-code the Farmers.
They’re a dead giveaway as to
who’s operating a tractor or piece
of equipment, even in a distant
field.
Bright, jaunty, neon-like shades

All the season’s tee-shirts, by
