Figure 1.--"Tricotons" in its November 1947 edition offered two outfits for a 6 year old boys. There are two cardigans. One was worn weith short pants and the other with long leggings making a kind od snow suit outfit. Also note the wintercap with long top and pom. |
Snowsuits seem less popular in France than in Germany and other countries, presumably for climatic reasons. Snowsuits were not the only winterwear. We also also notice wool cardigans and shorts sets as wella as other winter outfits such as woolen rompers. On chilly days a younger boy might wear a gilet or short (waist-level) sweater with romper suits or shorts sets.
