Freemans offered an extensive line of boys' clothes in its 1974 catalog. We have no information about the company at this time. Freemans appears to be promoting the Ladybird brand. We wonder if it is a store brand. Freemans Shere offers a shirt, ties, and short pants. The shrts are the short cut Continental-style that had become very popular in England by the 1970s.
Freemans offered an extensive line of boys' clothes in its 1974 catalog. We have no information about the company at this time. Hopefully our British readers will provide some information about the company. A British reader tells us, "This page brings back memories when I was a lad in the 1970s. I was 6-12 and my mum always bought my shorts
and grey knee socks from freemans catalogues."
