Cut-away jackets appear to have been primarily as far as boys are concerned, a mid-19th century style (1850s-70s). And also as a Fauntleroy suit garment they continued to be worn (1880s-90s). We thus note a wide range of cut-away jackets in the mid-19th through the late 19th century. Our information on the early 19th century is limited, in part because of the absence of photographs. We are not sure about the 1840s, in part bcause it is so difficult to destinguish between 1840s and 50s Dags. We do see them in the 1850s, at least by the mid-50s. A good example is John Van Horn in 1859. We see them most commonly in the 1860s. A good example is Charles J.J. Carter. Another example is two unidentified brothers in 1864. We note a German boy wearing a cut-away jacket suit in the 1860s. Another example is John Schwensusen, we think in the late-60s. We note cut-away jackets being worn with both long pnts and shortened length pants. They were also worn as part of kilt outfits, both kilt suits and Highland kilt outfits. Cut-away jackets were still quite common in the 1870s. Good examples in America are Tom Baird in the 1860s and Elmer Dayton in 1870. We note an unidentified Syracuse boy in the 1870s. We see far fewer cut-away jackets in the 1880s. Here an exception was the Fauntleroy suit. The classic Fauntleroy suit of the 1880s was of course done with cutaway jackets. They become less common in the 1890s, although we still see Fauntleroy suits with cut-away jackets.

The 1800s

Our information on the early-19th century is limited, in part because of the absence of photographs. We have not noted, howecer, any examples of cut-away havkets during the early-19th century.

The 1840s

We are not yet sure if cut-away jackets were worn during the 1840s, in part bcause it is so difficult to destinguish between 1840s and 50s Dags.

The 1850s

Cut-away jackets appear to have been primarily as far as boys are concerned, a mid-19th century style (1850s-70s). We thus note a wide range of cut-away jackets in the mid-19th through the late-19th century. We do see them in the 1850s, at least by the mid-50s. A good example is John Van Horn in 1859.

The 1860s

We see cut-away jackets most commonly in the 1860s. A good example is Charles J.J. Carter. Another example is two unidentified brothers in 1864. We note a German boy wearing a cut-away jacket suit in the 1860s. Another example is John Schwensusen, we think in the late-60s. We note cut-away jackets being worn with both long pants and shortened length pants. They were also worn as part of kilt outfits, both kilt suits and Highland kilt outfits. A good example of a cut-away jacket worn as part of a kilt suit was the outfit worn by America boy Augustus Davies in the late-1860s.

The 1870s

Cut-away jackets were still quite common in the 1870s. Good examples in America are Tom Baird in the 1860s and Elmer Dayton in 1870. We note an unidentified Syracuse boy in the 1870s. .

The 1880s

We see far fewer cut-away jackets in the 1880s. Cut-away jackets were also worn as a Fauntleroy suit garment they continued to be worn (1880s-90s). Here an exception was the Fauntleroy suit. The classic Fauntleroy suit of the 1880s was of course done with cut-away jackets.

The 1890s

We still see Fauntleroy suits with cut-away jacketsCut during the 1890s. The cut away Fauntleroy jackets began to bcome less common by the turn-of-th 20th century.
