The Eton collar was worn through the 1910s, but less commonly. We see quite a number of boys wearing Eton collars, but a desrinct minority. It seems rather a formal style. Thus we see more boys wearing Eton collars when they dressed up for formal occassions. Some boys wore them to school, but less than in the 1900s. They would have been most common at private schools. We believe that social class factors were involved here. Eton collars were most common with boys from affluent families, especially those families with rather conservative attitudes. We are not yet sure about age trends. We note Frank Bailey wearing a small Eton collar at his private school about 1915.
