Figure 1.--Here we see the children of a Vienna family. We are not sure quite how to date it, but we would guess it was taken about the turn of the 20th century. Notice that two boys here wear bloomer knickers, one with a regular suit and another with a sailor suit. The youngest boys wears his sailor suit with knee pants.

We see Austrian boys wearing bloomer knickers with a range of garments. They were worn with boyj blouses and tunuc suits. We also note boys at the tutn of the 20th century wearing them with suits. Our Autrian archive is limited so we have little information on the mid-19th century. But we notice boys wearinf suits with bloomer knickers in the late 19th century and early 20th century. This was different than in America where suits at the time were mostly worn with knee pants.
