We also note collar-buttoning jackets worn with Fauntleroy trim. These were not Fauntleroy suits, but regular suits worn with varios Fauntleroy trim items. The Fauntleroy items like large collars and floppy bows were so visually overwealming that it fives th impression of a Fauntleroy suit. The collar-buttoing jacket became popular in the mid-19th century. There were different styles. At first we see a military style jacket, blue with a prominant role of brass buttons. After the Civil War (1861-65) non-military colar buttoning hackets became more popular. They were worn until after the turn-of-the 20th century. We also note collar-buttoning jackets worn as Fauntleroy outfits. Here they were somewhat limited as a Fauntleroy jacket, but we are still assessing prvlence. It is not always easy to determine the type of jaxket. This is because the collars and floppy bows were often so larrge that th top of the jacket is covered up and some lapel jackets had small, high-set lapels. Fauntleroy blouses were not worn with these jackets. There is no sence buying a fancy, expensive blouse for a boy if his jacket buttons at the collar abd covering it all up. As a result, it was normally pin-on collars worn to give a Fauntleroy look. This might mean a lace collar. There were also pin-on ruffled collar, but the ruffled collars are more associated with th Fauntlroy blouses. We see a range of ages wearing these Fauntleroy collar-buttoning jackets. They included pre-school boys, but also boys in primary school. This in basically reflects the basic age range for collar-buttoning jackets.
