    Can you tell us, are these little boys garments for a small child or toddler? Or a young boy of older age?

    Looks like linen. I might not call these shirts, they appear more of a light summer jacket and had shorts to match.

    What are the buttons made of?

    They do look antique or close to it.

    They look like a young boys like maybe 8-10, I thought they could be 1910s to 1930s but then I was doing some research and it said that that kind of seam binding wasn’t popular untill the 60s then I read something that said 30s and that they have been doing it since the late 1800s I think, the stitches are not uniform and some are slightly different, I also got two wool jackets with snap buttons and quilted liners that I’m going to make a separate post about, I thought maybe they could be vintage re-enactment pieces but they don’t look 1860s to me but I’m not sure u don’t have much experience with stuff that old

    From up close, the fabric almost looks contemporary or newer than the jacket's style. Can you tell us what the buttons are made of?

    I’m not sure, but it’s definitely man made

    The more I look at these the "newer" they look. Which makes me wonder if they are a costume pieces.
