We see quite a few English boys wearing kilt suits in the 1890s. And kilt suits without any Highland kilt accessories. They may have been a little younger than in earlier decades, but our archive is not yet extensive enough to make any firm assessments. We note Stanley Clulow who looks to be wearing a sailor-styled kilt suit (1899). He looks to be about 3-years old. A cabinet card shows London children we think in the 1890s (Figure 1). The younger boy looks to be about 4-years old. He wears a Fauntleroy-styled kilt suit with a cut-away jacket, lace collar, and floppy bows. The kilt suit looks just to be similar to the ones American boys wore. The jacket, however, has a collar. The major difference is the knee socks he is wearing. American boys almost always wore long stockings.
