Abstract
Through the questionnaire survey reported in Part 1, followings have become clear about boys' uniforms.
1. School uniforms of close buttoned jacket type are very popular for boys, and blazer or business suit type come second.
2. Most of the close buttoned jackets are black, and blazers or business suits are dark blue.
3. The proportion of blazers or business suits to close buttoned jackets has increased with the years.
4. Various wool/polyester blended fabrics are used for boys' uniforms more than for girls' uniforms, especially in summer.
5. Regulations of private and national boys' schools are less rigid than those of private and national girls' schools.
For 83 % of the schools which prescribe their uniforms, teachers affirm the prescription of uniforms. For 30 % of the schools which have no uniform, teachers feel the necessity of uniforms. These suggest that most teachers expect some educational effects of school uniforms.
