Many American 3 year olds wore Fauntleroy suits. This means actual Fauntleroy suits and not reguar suits with Fauntkleroy trim. It is the age we begin to see really large numbers of boys wearing Fauntleroy outfits. This included boys wearing skirted Fauntkleroy suits, mostly kilt suits. We aklso see knee pants suits. We believe that the popularity of the Fauntleroy suit enticed many mothers to breech their sons earlier than they might have done earlier. It was at the time (late-19th century) that the cebturies old convention of youngerv boys wearing skirted garments bergan to decline. The kilt suit outfits often used the standards Fauntleroy cut-away jacket that was used with the classic knee pants suits.
