naval uniform tradition · 19th century sailor suit
A miniature sailor suit ensemble consisting of a navy wool double-breasted coat and matching sailor cap. The coat features a wide sailor collar with white striped trim, characteristic of naval-inspired children's wear. Four gold buttons are arranged in pairs on the front closure, creating the traditional double-breasted silhouette. The sleeves appear to be three-quarter length with a relaxed fit. The accompanying cap displays the classic sailor hat shape with white striped band detail matching the collar trim. The wool fabric appears to have a smooth, tailored finish typical of post-war children's formal wear when maritime themes remained popular in juvenile fashion.
