United States Boys' Clothes: Weber Family Playing (1936)


Figure 1.-- Here we see the Weber children all dressed up for Sunday School in 1936. The Webers were a Pennsylvania farm family.

We also see the Weber children playing in their yard with a hand-made seesaw, fashioned from a barrel and wooden plank. The photograph is a little strange because the children do not seem dressed in play clothes. Apparently mom wasn't strict about that. Notice that the children wear long stockings for play as well as dress-up. The younger brother wears black long stockings with his shorts and probably long underwear. Notice the patch of white between his stocking top and the hem of his trousers. Both boys wear flat caps. The two girls wear white stockings.
