We are not sure if there was special styling for kilt suits. We see some special styles for lapel jackets, but kilt suits styles for these collar-buttoning jackets seem less commin. The collar-buttoning jackets we have found in the photographic record do not show alot of special styling. They seem to be the mostly the same style as the jackets worn by older boys with knee pants. Some may have been made specifically to be worn with as a kilt suit. We think the jacket on the revious page may have been specifically made to be worn with a kilt suit. There were many jacket styles. We have also noted jackets styled without lapels and buttoning at the neck. Large detachable or pin-on collars and especially floppy bows often make it difficult to see the collar button. These collar buttoning jackets were done both with and without collars. Here the use of large detachable collars often makes it difficult to tell. These jackets tended to be longer than the early small cut-away jackets making up the classic Fauntleroysuit. They commonly extended a below the waistline. There were substantial variarions in these collar-buttoning jackets. We note them done in a range of styles. Some were rather plain like cut-away jackets. We note both single- and double-breasted jackets. The boy here wears a double-breasted jacket with his kilt suit. Some were a little more complicated. We note Norfolk-style that vertical stle elements were popular. The boy on the previous page is a good example. The bottom hem of the jackets is a varied aspect. Here we note rounded sides and what look like flap pockets. We are not entirely sure if they are pockets or just flaps as a design element.These have the popular Norfolk styling, although belts were not very common. Another good example is an unidentified New York boy. Buttoning could be highly variable in these jackets.
