Story 93: Sailor collar: eye catcher and distraction

tempsdessecrets-story

One other interstesting thought. After rewatching Le temps des secrets (pictured, rating 8, after Marcel Pagnol), I found this scene at 24 minutes and I thought again about the purpose of a sailor collar.

Richard Oiry wearing white clothes and only the blue collar is different (also funny how it is folded by the wind).

Maybe the collar should lift the eye sight and deflecting from other, lower body parts? Remember Catholic or other religions and moral thoughts in these early days.

Younger kids were mostly clothed by their parents (moms) and the main purpose for a sailor suit was maybe the pride for the Marines and to look alike. See also other story entries, especially

and blog search for "wind" "flying" and "blowing".

I also have updated the previous story entry and a pic about a folded collar. (Sorry no more Lederhosen yet).
