Underwear
The cotton knit underwear that Sterling is wearing is known as a "union suit." In the early 1900s, boys wore short-sleeved union suits with short pants in the summer and a union suit with long sleeves and long pants in colder weather.

Although not actually worn by Sterling North, these outfits are the kind of clothing he might have worn while growing up in 1918's Wisconsin.
