Hungarian School Smocks: Collars


Figure 1.--Some boys buttoned their smocks at the collars. Other boys buttoned the first or second button down wearing their smock like a jacket. This appears to have been a personal choice rather than a school rule.

Most smocks did not have any collars, but there are also many colared smocks. Some smocks had a kind of square Russian blouse opening instead of a collar. These were generally worn by girls. As many smocks did not have collars, many boys wore their shirt collars outside the smocks. Other boys wore "T" shirts without collars under their smoks. Some smocks were made with collars. Some even had white collars. These may have been worn by younger children, although HBC has few details. The smocks were worn both buttoned at the neck or like a "V" collared jacket. This appears to have been a personal choice rather than a school rule. HBC does not know, however, if some schools had policies on this.
