We also see knitted tops for younger boys look like sweaters, but they were often worn without blouses or shirts, so they can not be classified as sweaters. They were commonly worn with knitted pants by younger boys. We also see knitted garment worn as tops by older boys. They may look like sweaters, but the basic difference is that sweaters generally do not have collars, the major exception is the rolled collar. There were a variety of collars. Rughby collars were popular. We are not sure about the chronology, but believe this was the case in the mid-20th century. Knitted tops were worn without blouses or shirts underneath.
