Sailor Suits with Fauntleroy Trim

Fauntleroy jacket closures
Figure 1.-- Here we see an unidentified New Jersey boy with ringlet curls and wearing a cut-away jacket sailor suit with a classic Fantleroy blouse. Itlooks like a tam he wore with it uis in the table. The blouse has a large collar, front placklet, and sleeve lace trim. It wasc done with eyelet lace. We think it dates to the the turn-of the 20th century. The dealer thought it dated to the 1890s. This is possible, but the cabinet card mount suggests just after the turn of the 20th century in the early-1900s decade. The studio was Krahmer in Bloomingdale, New Jersey.

While these small cut-away jackets were the standard jackets other jackets were used, even sailor jackets. Which is notable because part of the reason the sailor suit was popular becayse it was basically plain and utilitarian, more atuned to what was suitabke for boys. But mothers being mothers, some wanted a fancier appearance. So we actually see Funtleroy trim, including Fauntleroy blouses, worn with the sailor outfits. Here we see a New Jersey bioy wearing a cut-away jacket sailor suit with a Fantleroy blouse, we think aound the turn-of the 20th century.
