I do feel it is a sad indictment that marketing has created such a strong gender distinction in even young children’s clothing and footwear. It does amaze me how much negative comment is directed at mums on the American Bog Sites, who dare to dress little boys in traditional clothing and footwear. I have not come across this type of criticism from similar UK Blog Sites.

This even extends to how George is dressed. But I really feel this suggests perhaps a lack of taste and sense of tradition among Americans, compared to people in Europe, and the Uk. .

If you look at more recent photo’s of the Royal Family you will also see Royal Children dressed traditionally, and wearing t bar or single buckle shoes.
