Figure 1.--This little American boy was from Nebraska. The image is undate, but we would guess about 1890. Note the large striped collar and matching wrist trim, but a rather small bow he wears with a Fauntleroy-style kilt suit.

Generally speaking the boys shirt or blouse was covered by the jacket and vest. Thus we have little information about what kind of short or blouse was worn, although often there is a collar shown. These collars until the1870s tended to be rather small. Only when wearing a Fauntleroy kilt suit do we get a good view of the blouses that the boys wore.. With Fauntleroy kilt suits the the small jackets show off generally fancy blouses with large collas and wrist cuffs.
