We notice a variety of wash suits done for younger boys. They were done in various styles. We notice both Oliver Twist and sailor suits. They might be worn for both play and dressier occassions. We note Indian Head promoting their fabric, a fine muslim which could be used for boys' outfits as well as girl's and womwn's dresses. A 1919 Indian Head ad depicts a white sailor suit for a younger boy. We are not sure in what magazine the advertisement here appeared. Sailor sits after World War I were becoming a style for yonger boys. Many were dome as play suits. A white suit was more of a dressier outfit. the fabric, Indian Head cloth, was a fine muslim that looked like linen, but was less expensive.
