Because the Fauntleroy suit was especially popular in America, the Fauntleroy blouse was also an especially popular American style. We see more of these blouses in America than any other country. They were intially made to be worn with Fauntleroy suits, but we see a lot of boys wearing blouses with large rufled collars dome with back flaps. We see large numbers of boys wearing these blouses without the Fauntleroy jackets. They might wear them with standard jackets, but often without jackets during the summer. To some extent this was during the summer when younger boys just wore blouses without suit jackets. But we see older boys wearing these blouses who were beyond the age that most boys wore Fauntleroy suits. These blouses becme kind of a dressy style that was acceptable for boys to wear without jackets. This is something we have not noted in other countries, at least to the extent we see it in America. It was very common for school age boys, even younger teens to 13 years of age. White was most common, but older boys might wear colored or striped blouses.
