RANDOM 341 OBJECT

1961 ROACHDALE Indiana SENIOR CORDS - FOLK ART Trousers-$2353

If you aren’t from small town Indiana, you probably have no idea what the devil these decorated corduroy trousers represent. Among collectors of Mid-Century costumes, “senior cords” are quite likely considered among the most rare. Reason: The tradition originated in Indiana, and it, thankfully, never escaped to other states. There were basically two types: Trousers for High School senior boys – and skirts for the senior girls.

Comments:
I went to Roachdale HS and graduated in 1967. I probably knew "Dick". Everyone knew everyone there. I still have my senior cords.
 
and now people will pay money for them.
