William and Robert Hackney (United States, 1914)

sailor suits
Figure 1.-- William Hackney and big brother Robert had their portrait taken in 1914. Robert is the older boy standing. We have no information about the family. The boys look to be about 2 and 5 years old. Both boys are dressed in white. William wears a simple tunic-style dress with white socks and ankle strap shoes. Robert wears a white short pants sailor suit without any detailing with black long stockings and high-top shoes.

The sailor suit seems to be a kind of tunic suit, but it seems drawn in at the hem instead of left open. This is not a style I have seen very commonly. Rober wears black long stockings and high-top shoes. This was a common way for boys to wear white sailor suits, but we do not see it much after World War I (1914-18). Both boys have relatively short hair. William has bangs and short curls. Robert has a standard short cut.
