We note a French catalog from 1934. This item is from the winter catalog January 8-22, 1934 from the big store in Paris " la Samaritaine. It's either the earliest or at least one of the earliest department stores ever built. Situated in the historic center of Paris. "The ad copy reads, "BB1178: Costume garçonnet , Velour côtelé, ciel, rose, ou blanc; culotte doublée. Nansouk 1 à 3 and 19,75 francs." That means, "Suit for little boy . Ribbed velvet in sky or pink or white. Short pants lined with Nansouk cloth. 1 to 3 years old Price: 19.75 francs." The suit was in the button-on style. There was a white collar. he cuffs have striped detailing matching the shirt frontbutton fly and pockt tim. Notice this suit was rather expensive, but it seems to be first quality. These pants didn't have fly which was common for boys until 6-8 years old.
