Japanese School Uniform: First Day Portrait (about 1960)


Figure 1.-- Here we have another portreait taken about 1960. The portait has a 1950s look to us, but if so would hsve been tsken in the late-50s. Japaneese boys until the lte 1950s were wearing longer shorts. Only as they neared the 60s do you begin to see these short cut shorts. Whgat look o be long stockings also can help date these portraits. The same is true for what we think may be long stockings. It was aboiut 1960 thar tights wetre replacing long stockings. The hise here look a litle too baggy for tights. But they would have to be very long-length long stockings. The boy wears a student cadet cap, collared white shirt with bow tie Eton jacket and matching s=hort pants, long stockings and black leather shoes. We are not sure about colors. He is wearing his school backpack. This double-breasred look for =E=Eton jackets seems popular at the time..
