Although sailor suits have generally disappeared as boys wear, some suits were still available for younger boys on special occasions. Here a boy's size 5, white trimmed in navy blue 2 piece sailor-style suit with knicker-style pants. The pants and blouse have button-pn styling. The label reads Sir Alec, Dallas. This might be worn by a boy at a wedding or fior a special Spring "Sunday" outfit. Notably the detailonh has only two stripes rather than the traditional three stripes. We note that in the 1990s, companies ibreasinly offered sailored suits with knicker pants rather than shorts or longs. During th era when sailor suits were more widely worn, knicker pants were not very common.
