Carl wears a standard short-sleeved, short-legged union suit with a drop seat in the rear. The union suit has a rounded collar. It buttons up the front, ending with a collar button. The version here is a summer suit made in cotton. Notice the ribbing at the sleeve and leg cuffs. --- |

Over this he wears an underwaist made of jean material that buttons down the front. The underwaist has a reinforced section around the waistline with extra taped-on buttons for the attachment of trousers. Just below the waist buttons in front are two garter tabs with pin tubes so that his black hose supporters can be pinned on for his long black stockings. The elastic parts of the supporters (the upper part) have buckles so that they can be adjusted to the proper length. The bottom parts with the two clasps are called pendants and are non-elastic for sturdiness and longer wear. The clasps have rubber buttons that won't tear the tops of his black stockings. The underwaist hides the top of the drop seat of the union suit at the back. But it is loose enough for Carl to open the buttons underneath. --- |

The next step is to put on around Carls neck the dickey
(shield) for the sailor blouse. This is the formal bit that fills
in the space between the "V" of the sailor collar. Carl's dickey is
made of rep silk (refers to the weave that is tightly woven) and has
a red anchor decoration. --- |

Carl wears a sailor blouse suit with the matching bloomer knickers in "natural linen" colour and red trim. The blouse is worn with a matching red sailor scarfe. The long sleeves have a button cuff. Often the popular stripe detailing of the collar was repeated on the cuff, but not here. The bloucing at the leg is done by drawstrings in the leg hem. --- |
