Dress Your Children Properly
I don't know if this is true, but I think it's quite funny:
"Britain's George V, for example, thought the only suitable children's attire were sailor suits and kilts."

Oh for the good old days again! Great blog!
But of course. By the early 20th Century, Britain's seafaring tradition and the fact that George V himself had served as a naval officer made the Royal Navy the foremost of the services. Britons were proud of their navy and dressed their kids accordingly. The fashion hit the US, after a fashion, and that's where we get the attire of Donald Duck.
