Boy's Clothes?

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 

I'm looking for some well made and super cute traditional boys' clothes.  Lol, the opposite of the gender debate thread. 

 

Anyway, I'd like knickers and newsboy caps, or sailor suits.  The ones I've found only go up to 4T, as most are made small, I think my guy would need a 6.  The ones by dapperlads or dressmeupcute are all so cheaply made...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

I know!  And they never have decent sales.  But they are the high end line of Gymboree so sometimes you can find Janie and Jack-type stuff at Gymboree for much cheaper.

No knickers but these are nice, classic looks and the quality is great for their girls clothing.

The Wooden Soldier also has traditional clothes for boys and girls. It's pricey, but I'm sure you can find some on ebay as well.

Sorry about the following rant:  Boy howdy do I hate companies (like this one) who have fifty-billion cute things for girls and the same boring 'ol couple of selections for boys!  Why doesn't anyone make nice, yet creative, clothes for boys??  And why no real boy-clothes options?  Does a girl really need ten dress options for every boy outfit??

 

Ok...got it out of my system.

Yeah, my son is only 8m old, but I will positively vomit if I see another Christmas (or Easter) sweater vest. But the smocked one piece shorts outfits?  Darling!!!

I have 2 boys and I love Janie and Jack! I also order online from Hartstrings, and am lucky to have a Jacadi nearby but you can also order online if you don't happen to live by a store.

Yep...for the low low price of just 3 easy payments of 29.95, lol. :) 

 

And, worse, I CAN sew.  Pretty well actually.  But it is hard to find a decent pattern and fabric that won't fray apart!  I have attempted a sailor suit 3x, and the pattern is just bad.  It just doesnt go together well at all.  So frustrating.

If you can find a Hartstrings outlet near you, you can get amazing deals there.
