Figure 1.--Smocks are still worn at many panish schools, especially private schools.

HBC at this time has little information on specific schoolwear garments. HBC has acquired some information on school smocks. Spanish school children were commonly wearing smocks by the 1930s, although we are not sure when this practice first began. Short pants were common until the 1970s. Young kindergarten age children still commonly wear smocks in Spain. It is no longer common, however, for older boys to wear them--but some still do. Spanish contributor report that school smocks are still worn at many Spanish schools, especially private schools. Hopefully our Spanish readers will probide us more detailed information on other schoolwear garments.
