John like Carl wore a union suit. Here we see John wearing a union suit with long, ankle-length legs. These came with both long a short sleeves. John probably would have worn long-leg union suits during the Winter. Here there were regional differences related to climate in the United states. John might have called his long-leg union suits long johns. He probably had knee-length union suits for Summer wear as he still wore kneepants. Once he graduated to long trousers he probably would have only worn long-leg union suits. These union suits came with a three-button drop seat in
the rear. The color of John's union suit here is white. They also came in a cream color and mottled gray.
