Many sailor outfits were dome with matching or coordinted headwear. The headwear, however, isoften nt worn for the studio portraitts. We see both traditionally styled suits and more varied style diverging from Royal Navy uniforms to a degree. We see a range of styles. Most of the styling was on the blouse. There were both matching blouses and pants as well as white blouses and dark knee pants. We see, for example, button jackets rather than just the pull-over blouse Royal Navy sailors wore. The pants stil might have stripes. We have found several exaples of Scottish boys wearing sailor suits in the 1880s. The styles was well established by this time. We also begin to see knee pants becoming standard. In the 1870s, the blouse styling was often continued on to the pants. This began to become less common in the 1880, especially the end of the decade.
