Retailers selling t-shirts for children
Children's t-shirt stores sell the hardest-working garment in a child's wardrobe in every form it takes: plain crew-neck tees in school and basic colors, graphic and printed t-shirts carrying characters, animals, sports and slogans, long-sleeve and layered tees for cooler weather, and the blank tees that schools, teams and camps print for events. The retailers listed here range from children's clothing stores with walls of folded tees to print specialists who stock children's sizes for custom and group orders. Fabric decides both comfort and print life: pure cotton tees feel softest and print cleanly, cotton-polyester blends wrinkle less and hold color through more washes, and better tees in either fiber use a heavier knit that keeps its shape at the neck, the point where cheap t-shirts fail first. Print quality varies just as much: screen prints sit on the fabric and crack if poorly cured, heat transfers vary widely, and dyed-in or discharge prints stay softest longest. Sizing follows children's sizes with fit by chest and length; a tee should allow a full arm raise without exposing the midriff unless it is bought as a fashion crop for older girls, and most families size for now rather than growth, since tees are replaced as fast as children grow.

Baby Tease
Every shirt is screen-printed by hand (and with gentle
care...). Sure, it's more labor intensive, but they like having a hand
in making each shirt that goes out the door. Since they are not
machines, slight variations are possible. By the way, they screen print
because they have found that iron-ons and other printing processes
create an inferior product. All the shirts are 100% cotton with the
small exception of the grey one, which is 90% cotton, 10% polyester.

Dribble Factory
: Dribblefactory : was launched in 2003, their designs are mainly
influenced by their life experiences, and will ring true for most
adults. Many designs, take inspiration from the likes of road warning
signs, movie slogans and general cliches - all still managing to retain
an air of innocence. Director of DribbleFactory.com, Tara Stow, decided
to start the company when looking for something a bit different for her
own baby. "I found that either the t-shirts weren't of a good enough
quality or that they could have been a lot more creative. The team and I
feel we've created a stylish, quality, affordable product with just that
little bit extra attitude". Since launching, they have been so well
received that they have expanded and improved their product. The new
collection equals the very high standards they have always set, but now
includes long sleeved bodysuits, baseball tops (white body panel and
colored sleeves) and short sleeved t-shirts. They sourced a new range
of garments which are more generous in size (a direct response to
customer feedback) and they also increased their size range up to 3yrs.

Isabella could even crawl. Having quickly grown tired of dressing her in
bland, mass-merchandise clothing; The owner of this company decided to
create her own designs all of which she found whimsical, unique and
simply adorable. To her surprise she wasn't the only one. The more she
designed the more inquiries she received. Soon requests from friends and
family poured in for birthday and baby shower gifts. Three years later
she has a full line of designs that she would now like to share with you
and your loved ones.

run affair.
Franceebaby
:
FranceeBaby was founded by
Francee Williams, a stay-at-home-mom who decided to start the company
after searching on the internet for interesting t-shirts to put on her
daughter. She found many shops that sell t-shirts for children with
sarcastic humor or t-shirts with an adult theme. While it is fun to have
a "cool" t-shirt for your child, there seemed to be a shortage of
t-shirts with positive messsages. So FranceeBaby was born. Their mission
is to have their designs speak to a positive and uplifting theme. Their
goal is provide an alternative to "cool baby" themes and the usual "baby
themes" of teddy bears and small animals.

decided to do what she does best: draw, draw and draw. Possessing a
degree in art education, she finally returned to her own roots and
launched the kids apparel company I can fly. in 2002. Their main line,
"I can fly.", is headed by Paula Bean AKA The Girl Jumping on the Bed.

: Little Lefties is a children's clothing company dedicated
to making a difference by teaching children to value themselves, the
future, and the world around them. They started this company so that
they could raise awareness in children and adults alike about matters
that will ultimately impact their futures: the environment, believing in
dreams, empowering little girls, the importance of education, and
overall positive values. They are passionate about making a change in
the world, and there's no better place to start than with those who are
just beginning to learn how to make healthy decisions. They believe that
children are never too young to start learning about important issues
that directly affect them. Teaching a child to love herself, to reach
for his dreams, or to care about the health of our planet at a young age
can really make a big difference not only in the child's life, but also
in their surrounding environment. These valuable lessons can stick with
the child for a lifetime. And ... they practice what they preach! At
Little Lefties, they do everything they can to ensure they are an
ethical and eco-friendly business. All of their printed materials are on
100% post consumer recycled paper with vegetable-based inks. All of
their garments are printed with eco-friendly methods using non-toxic,
water-based inks. At festivals, their bags are 100% recycled plastic (if
you feel you need one). They only purchase American-made, sweatshop free
items. And, they will soon offer a 100% organic cotton product line for
the ultra-conscious consumer!

The children's t-shirt market divides into three trades that often share one store. Basics retailers compete on multipack value and collar quality in the plain colors schools and layering consume by the dozen. Graphic tee retailers compete on licenses and artwork, refreshing prints with films, games and seasons. Print shops compete on service, turning around a class set of tees with names and numbers. Listings here identify which trade each store practices, so a parent needing thirty matching camp shirts and one needing a single birthday tee both land in the right place.
Fit and safety details close the sale: ribbed collars that recover, side seams that keep a tee from twisting in the wash, and, for the youngest children, prints and decorations that are securely finished with no detachable parts. Long-sleeve and thermal tees extend the category through winter as layering pieces, and organic cotton tee lines, sold by the organic retailers in this section, serve families avoiding standard finishes. However it is bought, the tee remains the garment children choose for themselves first, which is why its stores carry the widest style range in children's retail.
Cotton is softest and best for sensitive skin and everyday wear, while cotton-polyester blends resist wrinkles, hold color longer and dry faster, suiting school and active use. A midweight knit in either fiber outlasts very thin tees, especially at the collar and hems.
Turn printed tees inside out before washing, wash cold on a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low or line dry, since heat is the main enemy of prints. Good screen printing, cured properly, survives dozens of washes; cracking early usually means a poor print rather than poor washing.
Many do. Print specialists among the listings produce custom tees for schools, teams, camps, parties and family events in children's size runs, with minimum orders that vary by shop. Allow production time beyond ordinary retail, especially in the busy spring season.
