American boys commonly wore Fauntleroy blouses at age 4 years. The photographic record provides us countless examples. the boy here is a good example (figure 1). We note a variety of styles. Most of the Fauntleroy blouss we note as this age were white. At age 4 boys wore them both with and without Fauntleroy suits. They were worn with a variety of outfits or even without jackets. Older boys once they began school might wear Fauntleroy blouses with regular jackets, but age 4 years we see many of the boys wearing the cassic Fauntleroy cut-away jacket. We note an unidentified American boy photographed in the 1890s wearing knee pants and a fancy Fauntleroy blouse with a large floppy bow. He looks to be about 4 years old. We note New York boy Freddiec Deveraux in 1892. In his case we know precisely how old he was, 4 years and 8 months. He wears his fairly modest Fauntlroy blouse as part of a kilt suit.
