Most British boys wore standard tousers, extending from the waist down to various lengths from above the ankles. we note a small number of images showing a differentb type of trousers. We ae not sure what the proper name forv these triusers were. They appear to be a type of uni-pants that extend above the waist. We do not have a good idea about the construction of these pants. This is because thaey were part of suits and the photographs we have are with the boys wearing their jackets, thus we can only see the front of these uni-pants and have no idea what the back was like. We do not have as large an English archive as our American archive, but it is large enough to understand that these pants were not very common, but we do see a few. This is not a style that we have observed in America. It was common for English boys to wear vests with therir suits that matched the trousers, but as best we can tell from the available portraits these were one piece garments connecting the vests and pants. We only note these trousers done with long pants.
