This pattern was published by The McCall Pattern Company. McCalls described it as a "Boy's Suit, having knickerbocker
trousers." Minimal directions. The pattern dates circa 1908-1909. Suggested fabrics were chambray, cheviot, galatea cloth,
khaki cloth, cotton crash, linene, linen, serge, and percale. The colors were cadet blue, white, navy blue, natural, tan, and pink.
MThe materials required were 2-7/8 Yds. 36" fabric. The pattern was for a boy 4 years old. We at first thought it was a Bustern Brown tunic suit, but there are sailor style detailing.
