Boy Blue

Previous
No. 811

Consists of pants, slip-over, jacket and beret. The ideal thing for cool Summer nights or early Fall. You will notice, particularly, the jacket, which has side ties and slanted pockets just like Dad's—and a zipper closure in the front to make putting on or taking off a delight and a definite accomplishment for a very young man. We used king's blue.

Note the white anchor on the slip-over.
