Figure 1.--This postcard-back snapshot shiws unidentified boys on a walk with their mother. They wear caps, sweaters, ties, short pamts and knee socks. Notice the white soft sailor caps worn back on their heads. Boys commonly wore headwear at the time. The snapshot is undated, but looks like about 1930 to us. A reader in Serbiatells us, "The sailor caps could have been part of the school uniform. I think the location of the photograph is Peace Park which is near Belgrade city hall which was the former royal palace. The photograph was probably taken by their father. It looks to be Spring time (notice the flowers) but still cool enough to wear a sweater."

We do not yet much information on Serbian boys' headwear. Boys commonly wore headwear in the 19th and first half of the 20th century. The boys here wearing matching sailor caps about 1930 are a good example (figure 1). We suspect that they were similar to German headwear. We have begun to acquire some information. We note boys wearing sailor caps. This included both boys wearing both sailor suits and non-sailor outfits. Soft sailor caps seemed popular in the 1920s and 30s. In the post-World War II era, as in other countries, headwear became much less common.
