A sailor-styled tunic suit was in a 1920 issue of La Mode Illustre. It was worn with knee pants. We say knee pants because they have the three decorative buttons at the leg hem. Knee pants were essentially the same as long short pants. Unfortunately we do not have the accompanying ad copy detailing the material, age sizes, and other information. The boy is pictured wearing leggings (gaithers), suggesting the garment was for younger boys.
