A range of collars were worn with Fauntleroy suits. Some of the most important were Eton, lace, Peter Pan, ruffled, and scalloped collars. Fauntleroy suits are probably most associated with lace collars. This is, however a misnomer. They were not the most common collar worn with the classic cut-away jacket Fauntleroy suits. This is because mothers not only wanted a fancy collar, but a fancy frint as well. As a result, mothers commonly brought fauntleroy blouses which were more commnly done with ruffled rather than lace collars. Actual lace collars did not come with matching fronts. The rulled collars were almost always apart of a blouse which were done with fancy plackets (fronts). The lace collars that we do see are mostly pin on collars worn with collar buttoning suits. We see some Eton collars, but they were more popular in England. The Fauntleroy blouses often had scalloped rather than ruffled collars. In sone cases lace was mixed in, usually eyelet lace around the edgess. Peter Pan collars were not common, but began to become more common after the Fauntleroy craze declined.
We see some American detachable Eton collars being worn with Funtlroy suits, but it was not very common. We see more of them being worn by English boys.

Unlike real lace, eyelet lace was fairly common with Fauntleroy blouses.
