No restrictions on access

a. Long sleeved, waist-length, double-breasted child’s summer suit jacket with matching shorts and suspenders (b-d) made of lightweight, beige-colored cloth and thread. The jacket has a low, notched collar with wide lapel points and a full-length, six-button placket along the front. The off-white, circular, pearlized buttons with inset centers are arranged in to two columns and sewn along the front opening. One column is stitched to the right side of the jacket and has three corresponding, finished buttonholes on the left. Beyond the buttonholes is the second column of buttons, which have no corresponding holes. Sewn to either side of the placket, just above the bottom hem, is a small U-shaped, patch pocket with an open top. The jacket is loosely fitted and is reinforced with heavier, tan cloth along the interior placket and collar. There is a narrow, tan, cloth hanging loop is sewn to the inner collar and bound seams with blue patterned cloth at the armholes. The unlined jacket is neatly tailored with finished hems on the exterior and raw edged seams inside. There is a partial tear along in inner seam of the right sleeve, at the cuff, and several small holes along the opposite sleeve. There are small, red-brown stains on the inner collar and outer shoulders and runs throughout the cloth from use. b. Unlined, knee-length length, child’s summer suit shorts with matching jacket and suspenders (a, c-d) made of lightweight, beige-colored cloth and thread. The hems are neatly finished, as are all of the buttonholes on the shorts. There is a hidden, three-button fly closure with two buttons sewn to the right side of the placket, beneath the reinforced flap. The small, circular, shank buttons are made of light brown plastic. The top button is similar, but larger, and sewn to the inside of the left end of the waistband, above the fly. The narrow waistband is stitched to the top of the shorts, and is reinforced with the same woven cloth as the fly. A hanging loop is centered at the back interior of the band. There are three, narrow cloth beltloops twice the height of the waistband sewn to the exterior band: two at the front and one centered at the back. There are also six finished buttonholes for suspenders (c-d) in the waistband: four on the front, two each between the belt loop and nearest side seam, and two on the back flanking the back beltloop. A slit pocket with an interior pouch is sewn into the side seam, just below the waistband, on both sides. The shorts have a five-inch inseam, and have been taken-in slightly with two long tucks at the back. There are small, red-brown stains on the lower legs, and the weave of the cloth is loose is several places. c. Single, rectangular suspender strap from a pair (c-d) for a child’s summer suit with matching jacket and shorts (a-b) made of lightweight, beige-colored cloth and thread. The strap has three finished buttonholes: two at the wider end, and one at the opposite end. There are no buttons on the strap, and the edges are neatly finished. The cloth is discolored overall, and slightly misshapen from use. d. Single, rectangular suspender strap from a pair (c-d) for a child’s summer suit with matching jacket and shorts (a-b) made of lightweight, beige-colored cloth and thread. The strap has three finished buttonholes and three buttons: two at the end with no buttons, and one at the end with two buttons. The buttons are small, circular, off-white, and pearlized plastic with thick rims. One of the buttons, on the end with two, is sewn over a buttonhole that has been partially sewn shut. The edges are neatly finished, and the strap is slightly misshapen from use. The cloth is discolored overall and has several small, brown stains. e. Small, rectangular patch of lightweight, beige-colored cloth that matches a child’s summer suit (a-b). The piece is folded and has been sewn closed along three sides with beige thread. The cloth is discolored throughout.
