When I was in high school all the cool guys wore pegged pants, no belts (or very thin 3/8" belts) Levis with the belt loops removed and the rear pocket stiching removed. The levis had to be not washed and worn at least 20 times. They were so stiff we could almost stand them up in the corner of our bedrooms.

Oh yea..

Brill-ll-ll Cream
A little dab'll do ya
Use more only if you dare!
But wa-a-a-tch out
The gals will all come to ya
They love to run their fingers through your hair!

Ha Ha - Every girl wanted greasy fingers...

Brill Cream was a greasy white hair cream that would hold your hair in any position you wanted. We used it every day.

My dad supported us with his Navy pay check (Mom, my brother and me) which was minimal so I had to peg my own pants and sometimes I used Crisco lard instead of Brill Cream. No one at school could tell the difference.

I must confess ... The Brill Cream Didn't work..
