Figure 1.--Here we see a Greek brother and sister. They look to be about 11-15 years old. The boy wears a very plain sailor suit without any stripe detailing. The oortrait is indated, but looks klike it was tajken about 1930.

We see sailor suits in Greek schools, but mostly as a style individyually selcted by the parents. And primarily at the city schools. Our Greek archive is still very limited. We do have very little information on Greek sailor suits worn by Greek boys. We do not see any destinctive Greek styles, but notice French and German influences. Greece is very small country and thus fashiion is strongly inluenced by the major countries in Europe. The royal family with German origins had some influence. We have fond both school photographs and studio portraits. We note both plain sailor suits and those with the popular stripe detailing.
