Bulgarian Schoolwear



Figure 1.--These Bulgarian brothrs were posed together for a studio portrait, we think in the 1930s. They look about 6-13 yes old. The yonger boy wears a sailor which might have been worn to school, but was not a school uniform. His older brother wears a school cap. The style is the cadet capa popular in Germay. /i>

HBC at this time has no information on Bulgarian school uniforms. This image from the 1920s on the previous page provides a few possible clues. It appears to show a school band. HBC is unsure of the middy blouses the boys wear are a band uniform or a school uniform. HBC thinks that it is unlikely that these boys would have had to uniforms, but this is just a guess on our part. If not than these boys wear a school uniform of white middly blouse with a army styled cap (both white and khaki), a strange combination with a middy blouse. Apparently the cap and blouse are the only uniform items. The boys wear a variety of pants, both shorts and below the knee knee pants worn with both long stockings and knee socks. We note secondary schools with miitary looking uniforms. And we notice school caps like the caset-styled caps worn in Germany (fgure 1). We have no information at all yet on what children wore to school during the Communist era (1945-89). Some of the Soviet satellite countries had school uniforms, following the Soviet example.
