Nothing illustrated how Fauntleroy headwaers was enornously varied than the peaked caps some boys wore. One of the two types of peaked caps being worn with Fautleroy suits was the peaaked military caps. The primary peaked military cap style was what we believed was meant to be a kind of sailor cap. We are not sure about that. Prthaps readers will have some insight. We might today call it an admiral's cap. It also pays a passing resemblance to German school caps. We do not know what these caps were called at the time. We do not notice American boys searing these caps until the Fauntleroy Craze began nor do we see them to any extent after the Fauntleroy Craze. There was another militay peaked cap style. It was the Civil War kepi, but we do not see many. We do see a few. he Kepi was an imprtant style after the Civil War, but bwas cecling nin popularity by the advent of the Fauntleroy era (1885). nf the war image did not particularly appeal to mothers selecting Fauntleroy outfits.
