We note large numbers of English boys wearing silor suits at age 7 years. As far as we can tell, it was a very popular style for 7-year olds. Most middle-clas 7-years old had a sailor suit until after World War I. Photography which appeared at the sane time as the sailor suit provides us a very detailed record, especially with the popularity of the CDV in the 1860s. Most of the images we have found are traditionally styled suits. Tgey might be wirn for bith every day and dresswear, but this is hard to estalish in the 19th century as most of the photigraphy was studio photography. This was one of the ages that the sailor suit was most popular as it was an age before it was popular for boys to begin bording schools where uhiforms were often required. This was the case during the late-19th and early-20th century. It was the case throughout the period in which the sailor suit was aopular boys garment. We begin to se fewer 7-year olds wearing sailor suits after world War I, but this was because the sailor suit was declining in popularity.
