American Sailor Suits: Hair Styles (Late-19th Century)


Figure 1.--This portrair is unidentified. All we know is that the portrait was taken in Tampere. I'm not etirely sure where that was located. We believe that it was taken in the 1890s.

We notice some American boys with cropped hair wearing sailor suits in the late-19th century. We note different legths here. Some cropped styles were just long enough to cut bangs. This hair style does not seem to have been nearly as common in America as it was in Europe. We do see a number of such examples, but cropped hair was not one of the more common styles we have noted.
