Fifigure 1.-- The boy at the Todd School in 1930 looks to be about 15-16 years old. He wears a Norfolk jacket open with only the belt of the suit fastened. We only see that occassiionaly with the Norfolk jackets. The boy has a separate belt, of course, for the knickers. We don't really see the point of wearing it like that. Norfolk jackets were still worn at the time, but going out of style. Note the patterned knee socks worn with the jnickers.

Like many private schools, the boys wore suits at school. We have no infiormation on schoolwear in the 19th century. We do have information on the 20th century. There was no uniform, but the boys commonly dressed up for classes. Available images show the boys wearing ties and jackets. The styles changed over time, both the jackets and trousers. This was up to the boys and parents so we see the various current fashions. We also see boys wearing sweaters with and without ties to classes. We are not entirely sure what the school rules were.
