Archduke Otto: Garments--Headwear


Figure 1.--This photograph was taken in 1922, about 4 years after the War. Otto holds a sailor cap and wears a dark suit. A first I thought it was a sailorsuit, but I am now not sure about that. He would have been about 10 years old. I'm not sure what the flowers were for, but the photograph was taken shortly after his father died (April 1, 1922). The family was with him on Maderia.

Available images show the children in sailor hats and not the more informal sailor caps. Wise-brimmed ailor hats appears to have been the most common headgear. They were worn both turned up and turned down. We also note him wearing sailor caps. He often wore sailor headwear with sailor suits, but not akways. We also note him weating sailor headwear with other outfits.
