But, it is always present in the back of my mind that the superficial social associations ingrained as a youth have no relevance in modern life.

My boyhood is even more distant than yours and included 3/4 inch cuffs. During a period in the late 1950s, when the so-called "Continental" look was the rage, I just had to have a couple of pairs of pin wale corduroys (one green, one brown as I recall), cut very close, with beltless extension waistbands fastened with two square silver/black checkerboard snaps and 3/4 inch cuffs just at the anklebone. They were worn with white socks and black plain vamp loafers similar to a Venetian loafer but with the mocassin seam running very close to the sole.

Love it. I'm afraid that my clan was a bit more dour.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not, if not it means a lot coming from you.

It's a good thing that your pants remained dry.

There's a fine line between commitment to the cause and drinking the SF Kool-Aid. (Damned funny image, though.)
