American Little Lord Fauntleroy Suits: Age Grading--4 Year Olds

Fauntleroy suit age
Figure 1.--All we know for sure about these unidentified American boys is that the cabinent card portrait was taken in Wilmington, Deleware. The mounts suggests it was taken in the 1900s. The younger boy wearing a Fauntleroy outfit with a fancy blouse and open-sailor-styled jacket. He looks to be about 4-5 years old. His younger brother looks very close in age, probably about 6 years old. He wears a double-breasted suit with a wuide white collar. The boys wear similar floppy bows and the same black long stockings and high-top shoes.

Age 4 years is one of the most common ages that American boys wore Fauntleroy suits. Most boys began wearing Fauntleroy at age 3 year, but some only began at age 4 years. Quite a dfews were not yet breached at age 3 years. It seems to us that age 4-5 were by far the most common ages for Fauntleroy suits. Boys began school at age 6 years and most of these boys did not wear Fauntleroy suits. Of course some of those boys may have had Fauntleroy suits for special occassions. It is boys 3-5 years that were most likely to wear Fauntleroy suits. Of course all of this we can only estimate because few of the available images actually have ages specified. that said we are unlikely to be more than a year off at most. And our archive is verybsubstaial so it is a fair sampling.
