We are not entirely sure about the chronology of striped sailor suits in Germany. We have not noted them in the 19th century, but our archive of 19th century German images is still limited. Thus this may just reflect the availability of images. We know much more about the 20th century. We note striped sailor suits throughout the early 20th century. We have both formal portraits s well as many familiy snap shots which became common after the turn-of-the 20th century. We notice quite a few photgraphs of striped suits from the 1900s-early 30s. They began to become less common as sailor suits declined in popularity after the mid-1930s.
