A few Joubert drawings sho boys wearing sailor suits. One gets the idea that Jobert thought sailor suits were a bit old fashioned. The the boys seen here, however, do not look unhappy with their outfits. French boys still wore sailor suits in the 1930s, but they were much less common after World War II--except as First Communion suits. We notice him drawing boys wearing sailor suits, almost always with short pants. He shows them wearing a wide variety of headwear, soft caps with poms, wide-brimmed hats with streamers, and even berets. Some of these black and white line drawings showing sailor suits look to be some of Jobert's earlier drawings.
