Hi Joan from the Philippines:

Thanks so much for getting in touch with me! An example of Jamaica’s National Costume is this picture of Mrs Louise Bennett-Coverley in this past Jamaican Echoes blog post, http://wp.me/pSuMY-Qy.

Here is a picture of a group of Jamaican children in the National Costume from the Embassy of Japan in Jamaica website: http://www.jamaicaemb.jp/news/img/070720.jpg.

What you will find is that there are variations in the style of the National Costume but the constant feature is the use of the bandanna material with white cotton material. I would say use the pictures of the children on the Embassy of Japan in Jamaica website as a guide to making the National Costume for your son: http://www.jamaicaemb.jp/news/070720.html.

For boys and men the National Costume usually consists of a shirt made from the bandanna material and a white pair of pants, like this picture of the folk group, the Islanders: http://bit.ly/Tfd1ir.

I hope this helps you. If you’d like I can take some pictures of the National Costume from a local store that sells them so you can see what one looks like as well. Please do keep me updated on how your son’s Jamaica National Costume works out for United Nations Day 2012!

WALK GOOD!!!
