Figure 1.--Here are a range of suits and other garments offered by Jelmoli in 1938. Here we see short pants and knickers, but no long pnts. Notice the cape. That was kind of French school style, but rarely seen in Germany. The boys are pictured wth both flat caps and berets. |
We have some pages from the Jelmoli catalog during the 1930s. Only a few pages were devoted to boys clothing, but they provide a great deal of very useful information. The pages show boys outfits, school, smocks ( Kinder-Schürzen ), book bags and other items.

Our Swiss reader points out, "I just received a Catalog form the "Grand magasins Jelmoli," Zurich for the year 1938.
In it it has a few good pages relating to fashions of boys. I am going to make copies of these pages and will send them to you. Again, as Jelmoli was in Zurich, it reflects the more urban fashions. I know, that in the poor mountain sections of Switzerland such fancy clothing was not available."
