I loved Davy Crockett from reading my brother's comics. I had an image of a really handsome hunk - complete with hat - so I was really excited when I was taken to see the film starring that er handsome hunk......John Wayne hmm

Went off Davy Crockett after that grin

What did I wear?...... very little - when I look at some of the photos of me in my mini-skirts I do not know how I had the nerve to leave the house!

NanKate's post and Ana's comment of confused looked so comical! They just appealed to my sense of humour!
When I thought of your Davy Crockett hat, NanKate, I remembered that when I was about 8, my mum bought me a red hat which had a long woollen ponytail at the back grin! I'd always wanted long hair, and I think she thought that by buying me this hat, she would stop my moaning. grin

I had clothes which hung in my wardrobe from week to week because they were only worn to church. They were in an almost new condition when dispensed with because I grew quite rapidly. I remember the woollen coat and hat, I cannot remember if I wore a dress or skirt and top, certainly never trousers. The shoes also were "good" shoes.

In the 1950s my Dad got me a Davy Crockett hat and I loved it. hmm
