Some days ago I tried some new search terms like navy boy and found this pic. It pictures (on top) John Travers Cornwell (1900-1916) Boy, First Class, Royal Navy. He was wounded in action on 31st May 1916 and died 2 days later. Pic taken from (more infos there about his honours) at northeastmedals.co.uk.
Interesting big collar showing Boris Pasternak (pic below on right with his brother in 1898), author of Doctor Zhivago.
Also 3 more color/colorized pics on my PD album and one more b/w PD (all sailor suits).
There are lots of different search terms (on each language).
In English e.g. sailor costume, marine suit, little seaman; on German even more, like Marineanzug, Seemannskostüm, Matrosenkragen, Kieler Kragen, Matrosenkleidung, Matrosenbekleidung etc. And boy is in German Knabe or Junge, but Junge mans also young.
But most of all, as it was very common clothing it isn't even specified, so you better look for all vintage pics (vids or films).
Another interesting search term is "sea scouts". I found a pic with a group of boys and girls in white sailor suits via Google image search on flickr/flickriver, but I can't find this right now. Below a Greeting card of the 1910s or earlier.
