Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--January 2009


Figure 1.--This looks like games in the back yard as part of a birthday party. The boy in the center trying to get the prize wears a DJ uniform. His fried at the right waiting his turn wears a sailor suit. Notice none of the older girls organizing the event are wearing their BDM uniforms. The snapshot here is undated, probably taken in the late-1930s.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let me know if you have any question about this new HBC feature.
