What Happened To The Sailor Suit?

• Looking through some very early family
  photographs taken at the back-end of the
  nineteenth century I was struck at how children
  were all dressed alike.
• The very young boys wore sailor suits or
  roll-necked jumpers and shorts and the girls all
  looked like something out of the pages of Alice
  in Wonderland with long hair, plain frocks and
  rather strangely some calf high lace boots.
• Look at any shop or catalogue of childrens
  clothing today and the huge variety means it is
  highly unlikely two children will ever meet in
  the street wearing the same clothes.

• . Take a look at the selection of boys summer
  clothes in an online store like Kids Closet and
  there are hundreds of items to choose from.
• Online stores such as this have the major
  advantage over retail high street shops for the
  obvious fact that they have much lower overheads.
  
• This particular business has an interesting
  difference in that it clearly shows the majority
  of products are all brand new but there is also a
  smaller selection of clothes and shoes that may
  have been worn but are in an as new condition.

• This means there are even better bargains to be
  had as the price reflects these offerings. It is
  strange to think that this sort of recycling of
  quality and unmarked products is actually what
  used to happen those hundred odd years ago when
  the average Victorian brood contained anything
  from four to twelve children.
• During that time it was absolutely normal for
  clothes to be passed down from one sibling to the
  next. It all made perfect sense as children
  out-grow perfectly good clothes and shoes so
  quickly.
• Shoes in particular were nearly always passed
  down in even the wealthiest families as they were
  in those days nearly always hand made from the
  only known material of leather. These were
  expensive and in many poorer families there were
  no shoes at all for the youngest.

• But lets not get carried away by the past and
  instead look to the future and the fantastic
  choices parents and their kids have with new
  shoes and clothing at a site like this were huge
  discounts can be found.
• When you look at all the fun shoes that can be
  found here you are reminded that the difference
  between those long gone days and today is that
  synthetic materials and modern computer
  controlled manufacturing machines can churn out
  new products at great speed unlike the old
  cobbler who might spend a day making one pair.
• As with many sites like this one the stock has a
  high turnover so it is always worth returning at
  frequent intervals to see what the latest stock
  consists of and also to check on the great
  bargains in reduced prices for quality designer
  wear.
• This is particularly useful when the clothes are
  grouped in summer and winter seasons as they are
  here.
