We see younger boys wearing a wide range of of different suits. Younger bys might wear kiltsuits or Fauntly suits, styles very popular in the 1890s. We also see the new tunic suits (Russian blouse suits) becoming very popular. Sailor suits also continued in popularity for a wider age range. School age boys wore both collar buttoning as well as lapel suits. Most were made as knee pants suits.
Tunic suits in 1900 were commonly called Russian blouse suits. This is what the Delineator called the suit here, altough the illustration was not on the page. The tunic suit became one of the most popular garments for younger boys in the early-20th century. Note that it was a boy's garnent.
We still see Fauntleroy suits in 1900 but the style was beginning to declinee in popularity. Here the Delineator offers a classic Fauntleroy suit. It has a cut-away jacket, knee pants, and a fancy Fautleroy blouse. The patterns were made in six sixes for boys from 3-8 years of age.
Stores in 1900 offered a wide range of sailor suits for boys. They were made in many styles and colors as well as a variety of materials. They were mostly kneepants suits. Short pants had not yet become an important style. They were still commonly worn with long stockings.
