Lassie Come Home: Costuming--Shirt and Tie


Figure 1.-- Joe as best we recall, always wears a tie. We see him not only wearing at ie at school, but also at home. Even when biking with Elizabeth he is wearing a tie. Boys did more commonly wear a tie in the 1930s.

Joe as best we recall, always wears a tie. We see him not only wearing at ie at school, but also at home. Even when biking with Elizabeth he is wearing a tie. Boys did more commonly wear a tie in the 1930s. We are not sure they wore ties when biking, but here since he was laying with the rich girl he may have dressed up. This might also explain the white shirt when biking. Normally he wore a grey shirt. These grey shirts were very common at the time. Grey was cinsidered a much more practical color for schoolwear as it did not show the dirt like a white shirt.
