We at first thought that in Europe this was a style primarily for older boys, but in Germany we note boys of all ages wearing them. It seems to have been more of a style for younger boys in America. This was a boy or youth's style. We see boys of all ages wearing them, both primary and secondary students. They also may have been worn by university students. We also notice Wandervogel boys wearing them. This was a youth group for teenagers and young adults. We do not note adults common wearing shirts with Schiller collars.
