We note German boys wearing short pants suits with a vsariety of neckwear. The most popular neckwear was neckties. we see some boys wearing string ties. Bowties were not very common. Many boys wore open-neck shirts like Schiller collar styles. Other boys wore both casual and dress shirts without neckwear, but buttoned their collars. While we see a lot of boys with shiller collars, if a shirt had a collar button, German boys often buttoned it. Presumably this was something that parents insisted on, which seems a little strange with a casual shirt.
