The Zouave suit was a late 19th century braid-trimmed ensemble for boys with a usually collarless, short, embroidered blue jacket, open at the front and matching red, baggy pegtop trousers reaching to just below the knees. These were inspired by the exotic Moorish design of the uniform of the French Zouave infantry who fought in the Crimean War. Research Zouave Suit
