Figure 1.--This cbinent card from Delevan, Illinois showa a little American boy about 3 years ols wearing a cut-away jacket with a kilt/skirt. The portrait is undated, but was probaly taken in the 1870s.

We are unsure at this time about the headwear worn with these jackets. We suspect that a major factor here was the type/styling of the jacket and suit. We think that these jackets may somerimes have been worn with vests. Here a major exception was the Fauntleroy suit. The cut-away jacket was commonly worn as part of a Fauntleroy suit so the fancy blouse commonly worn with these suits would be exposed to maximum affect. We see these jackets worn with both kilt/skirts and trousers. We do notice them with skirts, but are unsure about the gender of the child in the available images. Generally they were worn with shortened-length trousers like bloomer knickers and kneepants. Less common were long pants. At least in America kneepants were more common with Fauntleroy suits.
