We note Belgian boys wearing both single and double breasted suits. I'm not entirely sure when they first aopeared, but they were a popular style in the 1920s after World War I. Double-breasted suits seemed to have been most common in the inter-War period during the 1920s and 30s and into the 1940s. They begin to go out of style in the 1950s when single-breasted jackets begin to dominate. We note suits both with and without vests. They were made with a variety of trosers, including knee pants, short pants, and long pants as well as knickers. Wenote them in a variety of colors and material. They were done in sizes for school age boys although they were less common for the yonger boys in primary school. The double-breasted suit had somewhat of a formal, more mature look. It was widely worn by mean at the time.
