Sears Ucanttear Bright Blue Sailor Tunic Garments: Sailor Dickey

Figure 1.-- The sailor tunic here came with a matching embroidered dickey. We are not sure just what the sesign was. The dickey buttoned on to the inside back of the tunic and the inside of the front.
The tunic suit had a dickey that filled in the area between the sailor "V" collar. This gave the outfit a dressier more formal look. Sailor outfits had a variety of dickeies. Sometimes a kind of striped "T" shirt was worn. Some sailor blouses had sewn-in dickies. The dickey here was removable. Some dickies were plain. Others had embroider designs. The designs were quite varied. This sailor tunic had a blue dickey with an embroidered white design. I'm not sure just what the sesign was. The dickey goes around the neck and buttons to the back of the jacket. There is a button in the back of the jacket to hold it into place. Note the button holes on the tunic. The dickey was also buttoned onto buttons on the inside front of the tunic. The tunic could be worn with or without the dickey. On warm days or when not dressing up for special occassions, the boy might not have worn the dickey.
