Lisa Mulcahy — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 19:30:00 GMT

Kingsley’s edgy designs and cool tees make it natural fit for rocker tots. So if you want to roll with the rock look, but don’t have Gwen Stefani’s bucks, here’s your chance.

Most of the Kingsley stuff at Forest & Zoe is almost 50% off. This “a is for apple” charcoal tee is $28, marked down from $46. So relive those skater days from the 80’s when it was cool to doodle the scarlet anarchy A on your schoolbooks.

Tons Of Kids T-Shirts On Sale At Threadless Starting At $5

Chris Ford — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Over at cool t-shirt purveyor Threadless, they're having a massive sale. And some of the cool shirts available are as low as five dollars. Which, when you look at the prices of some of the shirts sold at some of these online boutiques, five dollars is an awesome sale.

My favorite five dollar shirt is the simple "Citrust Me" shirt (pictured) but there are loads others to choose from, and even more for $10 and $15.

Check out the sale at Threadless Kids!.

Old English Meets American Prep

elizabeth leach — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:53:00 GMT

British Flash Card T-shirts teach us the Queen's English while looking very cool. We've written about Charlie and Sarah's t-shirts before (see archived post here) but I couldn't resist writing about them again. I am in love with their clothes and I want everything they make! More photos after the jump...

Choose from onesies, bibs, short sleeved t-shirts, long sleeved t-shirts, and tote bags. Their clothes come in adult sizes, too, so we can shop for ourselves while we're at it! I also like their prepster items like the whale t-shirt and totes. Check out Charlie and Sarah's Etsy shop and website.

Stains Happen. Wear Them Well.

elizabeth leach — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:00:00 GMT

Stains happen. Wear them well. That’s the slogan for Progeny’s new line of t-shirts called “My Dirty Birdie”. These T-shirts are artfully pre-stained with a small graphic image of what made the stain. Choose from pb&j, crayons, mac and cheese, birthday cake, spaghetti, tree climbin’, dirt haulin’, and make up testin'. (More photos after the jump...)

The birthday t-shirt (photo below) would make a great birthday present. The birthday boy or girl could wear it when it's time to eat the cake.

Not only is this a cute idea but it’s done very well. T-shirts come in sizes 12 months to 6T for $20.
Infants have their own messes to decorate their onesies: strawberries, cherries, and prunes or how about green beans, peas, and broccoli or sweet potatoes, peaches, and carrots. Onesies come in sizes 3 – 18 months for $16.00.

Introducing Dante Beatrix T-Shirts

elizabeth leach — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:30:00 GMT

We’ve written about Dante Beatrix diaper bags and little kids’ backpacks in the past. In September, Dante Beatrix is launching a collection of t-shirts with mod animals, much like on the little kids’ backpacks. (more images after the jump)

These bright and fun t-shirts are everything Dante Beatrix is known for: a modern sensibility that is playful, quirky and well designed. I like these t-shirts so much I want to hang them on my nursery wall. Shop Dante Beatrix.

20% Off Ugly Fish Organics – All Great People Start Small

elizabeth leach — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:30:00 GMT

UglyFish Organics has a motto: “All Great People Start Small”. How many clothing companies have mottos? Seema and her husband, Baqar, started the company after years of feeling frustrated with the clothes they bought for their kids. They wanted their kids’ clothing to be tough to withstand the wear and tear of toddler play. They also wanted the clothes to be stylish. Not Bab Gap style. Not that there is anything wrong with Baby Gap, but Seema and Baqar were looking for clothes that were STYLIN’. UglyFish Organics is definitely what the cool kids wear.

UglyFish uses soft, organic, eco-friendly fabrics in rich, sophisticated colors. I was struck by the messages on their t-shirts. (“Strum Something”, "Listen", “Old Soul”, to name a few.) I haven’t seen anything quite this intriguing and, dare I say, deep in children’s clothing. Uglyfish Organics clothing comes in sizes 2T, 3T, 4T, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and their shipping is free. Visit them here and enter code: DROOLICIOUS for 20% your entire order until July 1.

The waistbands of their jeans, shorts, and skirts are printed with their motto. "All Great Things Start Small".

For Your Tiny Modernist

elizabeth leach — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:18:00 GMT

TinyModernist is an Etsy store that sells onesies, baby clothes and cross-stitch patterns adorned with images of famous mid-century modern chairs. They also have onesies with Alexander Girard’s famous “Love” and “Angel” pattern and funky, retro dresses. After having a baby last year, Cheryl and her husband started TinyModernist as a way of incorporating their love of modernism with their crafty nature. All their work is made to order but most orders are sent out the next day. Visit tinymodernist for your tiny modernist.

Hand Made: Apple Tee

chrisjordan — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:03:00 GMT

Custom made t-shirt features a chocolate corduroy tree that wraps around the side of the shirt. Each colorful apple is silk screened on white linen and then zig-zag stitched to the shirt for added durability.

Available in sizes newborn to 5T at Joey and Aleethea for $36

The Milkman's Tees: No Expiration Date On The Coolness

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:00:00 GMT

Another day, another funky kids' T-shirt line on deck. On my radar now is Nashville-based The Milkman, with retro-modern rockets, robots and space monsters screened on shirts and onesies. Nice designs at a nice price. Their special deliveries make stand-out gifts. For an extra $6 (and you'll want to go for this option), your order arrives inside a vintage glass milk bottle. Now that's swell presentation that's eco-friendly to boot.

$16-18, The Milkman.

Sample some of The Milkman's "flavors"...

Saddle Up for the Baby Goodies Daddy-O Rodeo Shirt

Mir — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 20:03:00 GMT

If Daddy's giving out horsey rides, anyway, perhaps he'd enjoy this illustrative t-shirt. It bears the "Daddy-O Rodeo" logo on the front and a graphic representation of a saddle, stirrups, and reins on the back. I'm guessing it looks a little odd when he's just walking around, but it's perfect for when he's being your little one's trusty steed.

Available exclusively from Baby Goodies for $19.95.

File Under: Huh? Blueberry Babies Zip-Tee

Mir — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:01:00 GMT

Is this a trend which I've somehow missed, or is this as strange as I think it is? Order a custom t-shirt for your toddler with your choice of name and zip code. This so-called Zip-Tee from Blueberry Babies apparently never got the memo about how having your kid wear her name can pose a safety issue, or maybe they just figure that this way, after she's kidnapped, at least the perp will know to which zip code she should be returned...?

$20 for your own circle of confusion. Or maybe I'm taking this too literally -- I mean, "Lucifer, 06660" would be nice....

Tiny Leaf Tees — A Subtle Salute To Autumn

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:00:00 GMT

These tee-and-topper sets are just begging to make the cut for baby's first pumpkin patch pics. Choose from maple or ginko, add a cardigan and some cords and you get a look that's seasonal without beating you over the head with scarecrows, candy corn and the like.

$24, Chasing Fireflies.

Sassy Onesies Declare "I Know Everything" and Other Truths

Mir — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 11:04:00 GMT

I thought I'd have trouble picking just one favorite over at Sassy Onesies until I happened upon this "I Know Everything" shirt. What toddler doesn't? Sometimes stating the obvious is its own reward. For $19 your kiddo's attitude can be clear before he ever opens his mouth.

Spit Up: Virility Tees For Dads

Kelly Mills — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 15:02:00 GMT

When I posted about a bad t-shirt for expectant fathers, I really had no idea it could have been so much worse. This one, for example, is idiotic to the power of stupid. I'm sorry, but bragging about your swimmers, even as a joke, is just lame. Nobody wants to think about your sperm. I don't even want to think about Johnny Depp's sperm. And far be it for me to become the sensitivity police, but it's even a little rude to the infertile guys. This shirt is 30 seconds away from being worn ironically by a hipster kid. Hey, it's $20.99 in the organic cotton version. Whoop dee barfy doo.

bioME 5 Gives A New Zoo Review

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:00:00 GMT

Ready to learn your one new thing for the day? When you're teaching the alphabet, you don't always have to fall back on tired ol' "xylophone" for Letter X. Try "xenops" on for size; it's a small South American bird. I learned that from a T-shirt, proof that kids aren't the only ones getting a brain boost from bioME 5's 100% organic cotton, sweatshop-free collection. Each design-intensive shirt features a letter of the alphabet, its animal representative and its name printed upside-down, so the wearer and passersby can share the knowledge.

Note: If your computer is near a dozing child or a cranky colleague, you'll want to mute the site's incessant rain forest sounds.

$32, short-sleeved/$36, long-sleeved, bioME.

Due Warning from Milkbomb for Airplane Trips

Mir — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 22:03:00 GMT

Here's another of my favorites from Milkbomb; this time, it's a cheerful warning for your fellow airline passengers. How could anyone scowl at the approach of a "Congratulations, you get to sit near me" shirt down the aisle? You can't control the screaming, but you might evince a chuckle or two. (I'm guessing Hana Schank is ordering one of these right now.)

Shirts start at $20 and are available in snap, long-sleeved and short-sleeved versions. Sizes range from 3M to 6T. Have a nice flight!

Milkbomb's on a Need-to-Know Basis: Don't Ask, Don't Smell

Mir — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:01:00 GMT

Why yes, I am a 10-year-old boy, why do you ask? Maybe it's because I can't stop giggling at this "Don't Ask, Don't Smell" baby shirt. I daresay it would make an excellent gift for military parents-to-be, or anyone who likes a little juvenile humor. Styles available include onesies, short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts, and sizes range from 3M to 6T. Starting at $20 at Milkbomb.

Rock the Retro: Tin Tank Outfits Your Space Invaders

Mir — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 20:04:00 GMT

I can think of no more appropriately ironic way to label one's child than with one of these space invaders t-shirts. Why, I am chuckling at the multi-layered symbolism even now. $22 at Tin Tank; sizes 2T and up.

Tired of Pink? Check Out Unisex Tshirts from Rusty Bumper

chrisjordan — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 21:02:00 GMT

Looking for something that you like yet still appeals to your little ones childish desires? The fall line of t-shirts at Rusty Bumper is for you. These t-shirts have a slight distressed look, giving them a vintage rock band t-shirt feel.

Long sleeve brown onesie with ducky comes in sizes 0-3 months up to 12-18 months and costs $24

Rock the Retro: Junk Food Says, Eat Your Greens

Mir — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 15:03:00 GMT

Junk Food for Kids makes all sorts of cute t-shirts for the little ones, but I'm particularly taken with this one featuring Sprout ($22 at Electric Ladyland). He tells you to eat your greens, but more than that, for every TV addict of my generation, he gets you singing "Ho ho ho, Green Giant!" under your breath. (You're welcome.)
