Gotta be age.
I beg to differ. Since we are talking about the INDUSTRY, surely size is what
counts, not age. 3-7 is the range for "child" sizes.
BTW, seems a good opportunity to announce the release of Dr. Jo Paoletti's
book, "Pink and Blue: Telling the Boys from the Girls in America," (Indian
University Press, 2012). She looks at the 1880s to the present, so Penny might
find it useful.

Gotta be age. (Which to some degree, supposedly corresponds to size)

I am working on an article about 1968 boys wear from a clothing
industry
trade journal. Repeatedly in the article refers to boys wear 3-7.
The
article doesn't state if this is ages or sizes. Below is a little
from the
article:
"For more years than they like to remember, the bane of the
existence of 3-7
makers was price. It reached a certain point.and then stayed there.
Then
along came the family revolution in men's wear.and the boys' wear
people
jumped right into the fray. Even 3-7 houses, in their own separate
world,
couldn't stand idly by."
What do you think? Age or size?
