HBC has observed boys wearing Fauntleroy suits and Fauntleroy kilt suits primarily wearing broad-brimmed sailor hats and floppy Tam o'Shanters. In fact most of the available images show the boys without their headwear. Amost certainly boys had headwear as at the time, headwear was almost always worn wheb going out, especially when formally dressed. The boys generally removed their hats for portraits, in part because mothers often wanted their hair to show in the photographs. Besides the more common headwear, HBC has noted a varierty of other caps and hats. One such cap was a brimless pill-box type cap that adults sometiomes wore with smoking jackets. I'm not sure what they were called. The adult styles often has tassles, I'm not sure about the child styles.
