Eton College is a public boys' school in England founded in 1440 that houses around 1,300 boys aged 13 to 18. It is famous for traditions like its uniform of a black tailcoat, waistcoat and pinstriped trousers worn with a white tie for students and teachers wearing uniforms while teaching. Christ's Hospital School was founded in 1552 to care for fatherless and poor children, with its early uniform consisting of a long blue coat that has remained virtually unchanged for 450 years. Blue was a cheap dye used for charity school uniforms. Today, Christ's Hospital School students continue to wear the traditional uniform including the outer blue coat and yellow socks through a student vote.
