The third style of sailor suit was a variety of outfits that had a V-front or hint of a V-front, but no other element of sailor styling. This was perhaps the least common approach to sailor styling, but we see quite a number of examples in the photographic record. Most of the examples we have found are from the 19th century. At frst glance these suits look like regular suits until the V-front comes into focus. Thgese suits were done with various pants, basically the popular syles at the time. We note a corduroy knickers suit with atripes are other sailor elements, we think in the 1880s.
