We do not have much information on Czech inclement weather garments. We are just beginning to assess this topic. As far as we can tell they seem very similar to German cold weather clothing. We know nothing about rain wear. We do note cold weathee gear including knitwear, sweaters, coats, long stockings, and other items Knitwear was popular for younger children at mid-century. The knit wear seems to have been fashionable all year round, but especually common during cold weather. Knit shors with matching tops seem very poular for younger boys. Sweaters were also popular, but our limited archive makes it ifficult to assess sweater popularity and styles at this time. And we see many Czech children wearung long stockings in cold weather. This was especially the case when boys wore short pants even in cold winter weather.
