Catalogs in 1972 show boys weraing shirts without tails that buttoned at the waist. They were called shirt-jacks in America, but were not very popular. Boys wear both short and long pants--often in bright colors. The shorts tended to be cut very short. Boys mostly wore ankle socks. Kneesocks were no longer common.

Note the long hair styles in the illustrations. Long hair had clearly becomed quite popular during the 1970s in the Netherlands.
