Figure 1.--Here we see a German boy in the 1930s wearing a striped dickie with stripes of even widths, presumably navy blue and white. |

The stripes seemed especially popular for the dickies. The stripes varied in width, but seem to have vared less than the stripes on the collar. Mot were composed of stripes with identical widths. Sometimes the color of the collar stripes were coordinared with the dicky stripes. Thestripes were always horizontal. We assumethe colors were mostly blue and white, but the black and white photography of the day offers few clues. We tend to see more German than American boys with these striped dickies. Stripes were a design that were popular in several other countries, especially France and Russia.
