Do you remember smoking jackets? Did someone in your family, your father, have one?

I only know them from the movies, I never saw my father or grandfather wear a smoking jacket.

DaveA,

My father grew up on a dirt farm. He was born in the 1920's. The poorest of the poor. Rural, yes, low class? No.

I remember on the Danny Thomas TV Show when ever he smoked he had on a smoking jacket.
Also on the TV dance shows the Motown groups wore them:

Thug rappers have re discovered them:

My comment regarding my family being "low class" was meant to separate us from the rural, wealthy people. Maybe I mis-stated
seeing as how the word is used in today's world.
