We also see various stles of sailor-styled kilt suits. We notice an endless variety of sailor styling. There were two basic styles of sailor kilts suits. The most common was the highly recognizable V-front blouse and back flap. These blouses were basically the same as the sailor suit blouses worn with knee pants. There wre a wide range of variations in detailing, cut, and color. The other styles is less recognizable to us today and relied more on stripe detailing with a traditional collar. Sometimes stars appeared. While not easily recognizable today, we believe that in the late-19th century these blouses would have been seen as a sailor style by fashion concious mothers. This style was more commonly done as a jacket rather than the blouse used with the V-front style. We see some sailor suits with pants done with these blouses, although the style was not nearly as populasr as the V-front blouses. The sailor styling was varied because sailor suits were at first quite varied until the late-19th century, especially the 1890s when we begin to see mostly traditional styled suits. By this time the kilt suit was passing out of style.
