History of The Sailor Suit:
"A sailor suit is a uniform traditionally worn by enlisted seaman in the navy, and other government funded sea services. It later developed in to a popular clothing style for children.

Its exact origin is not clear, but it was probably more of a matter of tradition than of regulation. The bell-bottomed trousers were easily rolled to the knee for deck work. The black neckerchief could be worn as a sweat cloth.

In 1846, the four-year-old Albert Edward, Prince of Wales was given a scaled-down version of the uniform worn by ratings on the Royal Yacht. He wore his miniature sailor suit during a cruise off the Channel Islands that September, delighting his mother and the public alike. Popular engravings, including the famous portrait done by Winterhalter, spread the idea, and by the 1870s, the sailor suit had become normal dress for both boys and girls all over the world." - wikipedia.org
