Many of the availablr photographs of David and his brothers and sister are formal portraits. Here they often wore sailor suits. They did not, however, jst wear sailor suits when dressing up. There are less formal photographs and here we also see the children wearing sailor suits. They were worn for ply as well. Thus for David and his brothers and sisters, the sailor suit was a very versitile garment. As a result and because of their father's preferences, the children probably spent most of thor time dressed in sailor suits.
