We note considerable variety with the headwear worn with sailor suits. We see both sailor and non-sailor styles. Wide-brimmed sailor hats continued to be worn for dress occasions in the early-20th century, but mostly by younger boys. The wide-brimmed hats ywere particularly popular in the late-19th century, worn with formal outfits like Little Lord Fauntleroy suits as well as sailor suits. Wide brimmed sailor hats were still popular in the 1900s. We see them worn with Fauntleroy suiys in the very early-1900s , but Fauntleroy suits were going out of style. we also see thewide-brimmed hats worn with sailor suits. Especially by the 1910s, boys were more commonly wearing less formal caps with their sailor suits, especially by school age. The wide brimmed sailor hats that were worn in the 1910s were often worn tuned down or up, a verydestinctive 1910s style. Caps were much more commonly worn being worn. We note both sailor caps and non-sailor styles. Unlike the wide-brimmed hats, sailor caps were only with actual sailor suits. Non sailor caps include both peakred ronded-croen caps and flat cap. With silor suits the peaked caps seem the most popular even though flat caps were becoming ubiquitous in the 1910s.
