Figure 1.--This Dutch boy in a 1952 magazine wears a turtle-neck sweater with a relative small necvk. He also appears to be wearing warm corduroy trousers. |
Most of the sweaters worn by Dutch boys appear to have been pullovers.
Many of the images HBC has seen have had crew necks. Dutch boys have
also worn turtle-neck sweaters, although the extra material for the turtle
neck varied. The "V"-neck sweaters so common in England were also worn
by Dutch boys, but not as commonly. Boys wore both sleeveless and
sleeved "V" necks. Some "V"-necks had British school styling, that is
colored trim around the neck and cuffs.
