#blog12daysxmas Day 12 Men's & boys' hosiery 52/1/3

Men's & boys' hosiery 52/1/3 by Collingwood Historical Society
Men's & boys' hosiery 52/1/3, a photo by Collingwood Historical Society on Flickr.

Again from the 1923 catalogue, these illustrations show socks for boys, youths and men. Of interest are the Double-clip and Rubber grip suspenders which ensured that men's socks stayed in the correct position all day.
