School picture day can be a hassle - unless of course you’re the seven-year-old boy from Indiana whose camera-ready outfit was picked out for him before he was even old enough to go to class.

Brady Gose, 7, of Brownsburg, Indiana was the fifth member of his family to wear a signature sweater for first-grade school picture day this week.

The tradition was started by Gose's grandfather Charles Gose who wore the sweater for his first grade school photo in 1958.

Say cheese!: Brady Gose wore this sweater for his recent school photo. The 61-year-old sweater was first worn by his grandfather and great uncles in the 1950s and was later worn by his father in 1982

Newsworthy: When Chuck Gose wore the sweater in 1982, an Ohio newspaper did an article about the Gose family tradition and the famous grey sweater

The grey and blue striped sweater was also worn by Brady's father Chuck in 1982 in Springboro, Ohio and before him was sported by his two uncles Barry and Mark in Maine who are Brady great-uncles.

Chuck Gose's father and two uncles all wore the sweater for their first grade pictures when they lived in Maine because their grandmother thought it would be cute.

'If we had a family heirloom, this simple store-bought sweater is it,' Chuck Gose, Brady’s father, told The Huffington Post.

'As Brady's dad, it means the world to see his pride in wearing the sweater.'

When Chuck wore the sweater in 1982 it was in an Ohio newspaper in an article that featured photos of all the Gose family members wearing the sweater.

'The sweater is a way for his memory to live on, not only to my son but also future generations,' Chuck Gose told The Huffington Post.

'I know that he would be proud to see the grandson he never met carrying on the tradition.'

Everyone in the Brownsburg community knows about the tradition of the sweater and Brady proudly smiled from ear to ear on the day that he got to wear it too.

'I think it's the simplicity of the story is why people have enjoyed it. It's not fancy. It's not glamorous,' Gose said.

'It centers around a symbolic time like school pictures.'
