Online catalogs in France become increasingly popular in the 2000s. One of the most important is Cyrillus. We note that through 2002 that Cyrillus offered "H-bar" suspender shorts. In 2003 the "H-bar" shorts were no longer offered, but there were still suspender shorts.
One of the most important French online clothing catalogs is Cyrillus. We note that through 2002 that Cyrillus offered "H-bar" suspender shorts. One catalog offered specialized styles of socks for both boys and girls. Most were ankle socks, but there were some kneesocks as well.
Cyrillus in their 2003 online catalog no longer offered the "H-bar" shorts, but there were still suspender shorts.
We note a French company, Bobine, offering school smocks in 2005. They were offered in several styles for boys, suggesting that there was a substantial demand. we are not at all sure, however, how popular they were.
