Figure 1.--Several of the boys in this 1920s class First Communion photo wore sailor suits, mostly dark ones. The suits all varied as to detailing. One boy here has a plain white dickie and another one with striping. I do not know what kind of caps were worn with these suits. |
The sailor suits all vary. The dark suits perdominated. All the boys in sailor suits are in the back row for some reason. The boy on the right has a pocket handkerchief, a plain white dickie and a white ribbon to keep the front tied. His sailor blouse appears to have three white stripes two blue on the collar and two white stripes one blue on the cuff. The boy on his left wears a sailor suit with a navy dickie with two white stripes and one blue stripe on the collar, cuffs and dickie. He also appears to have a white ribbon to keep the front tied and maybe an insignia on his blouse sleeve. The boy on his left wears a navy sailor suit with three white stripes and two blue stripes on his sailor collar. His dickie is plain navy. He does not appear to have any ribbon on his front ties. The boy in the back row on the very left wears a white sailor suit with a navy collar and three white stripes and two navy stripes on the collar. His dickie is plain white and the front ties are tied with a white ribbon. He may be wearing a flower pinned to his blouse. The boy to his right is wearing a vested dark colored suit. The white shirt is worn with an open collar, the vest has a lapel and the jacket is single breasted. Is he wearing a watch fob? The boys in the front row from left to right. The boy is wearing a collared shirt with a tie and a double breasted dark collared short suit. His white knee socks have a striping just below the top. His shoes look modern with a design on the front. We do not know what kind of caps were worn with these suits.
