We notice a range of outfit for younger boys. They are notably more simple than what was common before World War I in the late-19th and early-20th century. This includes todlers (1-3 years), pre-school sizes (4-5 years), and early primary sizes (6-8 years). Many outfits crossed over the three age groups, such as todlers and pre-schoolers or pre-schoolers and early primary years. One item for todlers is a pattern for rompers from the Ladies Home Journal. We see a Tom Sawyer ad for a sailor tunic. It is undated, but was surely published in the 1920s Another item is a McCalls pattern for a Little Boy's Suit which looks like a todler/pre-school outfit, but was made in sizes up to 6 years. I'm not sure just how to describe the style. It is also undated, but the style of the pattern illustration suggests the 19290s, orobably the early-20s. The term suit referred to the fact the top and bottom matched or was coordinated and not that it was a formal outfit.
