Figure 1.--This American boy was photographed in Brockton which I believe is in Massachusetts. It is undated, but the Eton collar suggests the 1890s. Note the flat pannel kilted styling on his kiltsuit. The boy looks to be 4-5 years old.

Many boys had fancy collars for their kilt suits. The most common collars were lace or ruffled collars of widely varying sizes and shapes. Some wwere huge affairs almost enveloping the boy while others were modest in size. The lace collar was common, but ruffled collars seem less common than with Fauntleroy suits. The boys wearing Fauntleroy kiltsuits of course tended to have the fanciest collars. A few boys had Peter Pan and Eton collars. They collars were worn both with and without bows.
