We notice a sailor suit jacket dome to be worn open. This seems to have been a popular style in the 1890s and early-1900s. As it was essentially a cut-way jacket, we see older boys wearing these jackets with Fauntleroy blouses than wore the classic Fauntleroy suits. These jackets were done in various material and types of sailor detailing. Most but not all had the three-stripe detailing. All had the V-collar and back flap. Normally sailor suits and Fauntleroy blouses were not mixed, but these open jackets were an exception. We see quite a number of these outfits in the photographic record. Some of the blouses have very large collars and ruffles and often cover over most of the sailor collar. The impression is a Fauntleroy rather than a sailor suit. We see another example of an unidentified boy about the same age wearing the identical outfit.
