Figure 1.-- Catalogs in 1961 offered both suspender pants and bib-front pants for younger boys. there were a variety of long pants for winter wear, including jeans. We also notice knicker-length pantsm but they were trim fitting, not the baggy knickers of the 1930s and 40s. We are not sure which catalog this was, but I think it was Quelle.
