German boys wore black scarves with their sailor suits. The black scarves were standard regardless of the color of the suit. They had a destinctive ways of tieing a knot in their sailor scarves. They were tied into a tight knot and then held in place with a white string. This contrasts with American boys which left the scarves hang loose with a simple knot. We are assuming that German boys wore their scarves like this because this is how sailors in the German navy wore them. Images from the 1920s show that these tight knots and white string was still standard in the 1920s.
