We are no sure about the color. the cut of the tunic is well above the knee so we see his bloomer knickers. We are not sure if that was stylistic or Donald had grown a bit.

Francis wears a double-breasted knickers suit. Both boys wear dark long stockings, fairly common at the time. The portrait of the boys is undated. The dealer suggested it was taken 1901-11. This is possible, but most American boys wore knee pants suits in the 1900s and mostly knickers in the 1910s. Thus we would guess the 1910s, probably the early 1910s.
