Most of the styling of a traditional sailor suit was on the blouse. We note some 19th century sauits with styling on the pants, but this was quite rare in the 20th century. While much of the styling of sailor blouses was based on actual uniforms, this was less true for the pants. The pants of naval uniforms were not commonly decorated with elborate detailing. We do note vertical side stripes in the 1ith century. Rarely were the strips detailing oin the blouse repeated on the trousrs. Many wre bell-bottom trousers. This was a style offered in some suits. In fct, during the early 20th entury, bell-bottoms as part of a sailor suit was spme of the rare long pants boys wore. They were also commonlu offerd as knee pants, short pnts, and to a lesser extent knickers.
