U.S. First Communion Suits: Al ??? (1937)


Figure 1.-- This boy's name was Al, but we don't know his last name. We do know that he has his portrait taken in 1937 in his First Communion suit. It looks to be a black short pants suit. He also wears black knee socks and black shoes. We do not know where he lived. The conservative outfit suggests to us that he was from a relatively prosperous family. With his all black outfit he has a white tie.
