We see many younger American boys wearing wide-brimmed sailior hats. As a result, this was one of the headwear types that we see being worn with kilt suits. There may have been a seasonal factor here. These hats woukd have been inpractical in string winter winds. And we see them being worn with both kilts suits anf kilt/skirts worn witn just blouses. Kilt suits were just one of the garments worn with these hats. The wide-brimmed sailor hat is probably more associated with Fauntleroy suits and tunic suits, but this may be because illustrators made this connection, not because it actually existed. For some reason, illustrators were less likely to depict kilt suits. The photographic record, however, shows that they were very commonly worn. And while we see some wide-brimmed hats with kilt suits, they were just one of several sttles. We don't have enough images to make any valid age assessments, but wide-brimmed sailor hats seem most common weith the pre-school boys wearing kilt suits.
