I remember once reading something about how some europeans actually regularly still wore their traditional peasant garb in like the swiss alps or something up until pretty recently in history like until the end of world war 2 or something, does anyone know what I might be referring to? I cant find anything about it currently

this was typical all over europe, especialy eastern europe, balkans, italy, spain, all over the alps
people just wore the clothes that was manufactured localy and designed to suit their local needs
around the 50is industrial development, reneved urbanisation and spread of infrastructure made this redundant, you could just buy shoes and suits around the corner, and rubber boots lasted longer in the field
even so, older people continued to wear oldschool garb, or just chose 'modern' clothes that looked as close as the old ones
my grandma basicaly wore the exact same long skirt pullover and apron and a marama on her head till the day she died, even if she bought them in a shop, shed just buy the same thing as close to the old stuff

and another thing, dont think stuff like shoes and coats and such were just everiday items, part of the reason people continued wearing old clothes and things like woven footwear and goatskin wests was cause they were poor as all fuck
its highly underestimated how poor most of europe was up till the postwar economic boom

What
Seems probable that it could've been in north western Sweden considering some villages were so closed off in their valleys that they evolved their own language and still used runes up to the early 20th century
Sweden considers these languages dialects because fuck paying them minority money.
