I was in Oceanside, CA outside Camp Pendleton in 1968, doing my laundry. I decided to throw the sportshirt I was wearing into the washer, leaving me with a striped, colored T-shirt on. After the washer started, I walked down the street to get a hamburger. Shore Patrol busted me for being on liberty in a shirt without a collar. Had to grab my wet laundry and return to base. I was Confined To Base for the next two weekends.
BTW, blue jeans could only be worn when working on a car or participating in a rodeo.
I was looking for photos of school attire for my high school class(1965). I didn’t find exactly what I was searching for, but did find a link to this.

Durwood Fincher, “Mr. Doubletalk” & I graduated together, and this tribute to his mom gives a good picture of life when we were kids.
