Writing great stories: Choose to look for the possibilities in every problem you just might find sweet hair accessories in the mistakes of a t-shirt order. Not good enough to sell but far too good to waste, these t-shirts are getting a new life and we couldn’t be more excited.

$1 from each accessory purchased will be going to our t-shirt partner in Kolkata, India in gratitude for their commitment to excellence and in support of the redemption stories their work is writing everyday.

Not sure what size to order? Simply measure against a similar item that currently fits your child and compare with the measurements in our size chart.

All measurements are taken with garments lying flat.

Lay the chosen garment on a flat surface, smooth out any wrinkles.

Chest: Measure across chest from side seam to side seam just below the armpit.

Length: Measure from the point where the shoulder seam meets the neckline ribbing, straight down to the bottom of the shirt.

 

Children's Tees

Our children's t-shirts are a standard fit. If your child prefers loose-fitting shirts, we recommend choosing the next size up.
