Bibliography of Boys' Clothing


There is a substantial body of literature describing clothing styles over time. Here are several data bases with extensive references. Often there are just a few volumes on childrens' clothes or children's clothes are only part of the book. I would be most interested in any information you have gleaned from books on clothes and costuming. In addition, please let me know of any other interesting bibliographical lists that you may have come across.




Figure 1.--Fauntleroy suits and kilts were some of the most popular party clothes for boys in the late 19th century. Often subtle differences differentiated the clothes of younger and older siblings, notice the collars of the two brothers.
