EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement from 1897, showcasing a selection of boys' school outfits from Isaac Walson. The image transports us to an era of classic Victorian fashion and traditional school attire. Boys in crisp, collared shirts and high-waisted trousers are seen donning various outfits, including the iconic Eton suit and Kensington jacket. The rugby suit, with its knitted vest and shorts, is also prominently featured, reflecting the active lifestyle and athletic pursuits of the time. Prices for these high-quality school outfits were as follows: an Eton suit, priced at £1 10s 0d, was a significant investment for families. The Kensington jacket, priced at 12s 6d, and the Boston suit, at 10s 6d, were more affordable alternatives. The Clouse suit, with its distinctive collar and cuffs, was available for 8s 6d. The boys in the advertisement exude a sense of pride and confidence, embodying the spirit of the late 1890s. The fashionable clothing, with its timeless design and attention to detail, remains an enduring symbol of the Victorian era. This advertisement not only offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time but also provides a window into the lives of boys attending school during the late 1890s. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic school outfits and the rich history of boys' clothing.
