    I've looked all over the internet and have found an abundance of cute little tie dye and hemp and handmade dresses for girls, but it seems like no one has any cute stuff for boys. Yeah, a tie dye t-shirt is sweet and all, but after you buy about 10, they kind of start to look alike and get a little old. I would love to find him some cute little corduroy patchwork overalls or a little baggy summercloth shirt, but it's impossible! Does anyone know where I can find some nice stuff for my little guy? I love little "man clothes," not stuff that looks really baby-ish.

    Thanks!

    This site offers cute kids clothes! I don't know what they have for premade stuff right now but they take custom orders and their prices are very fair.

    Most sites that take custom orders off their websites will take on kids clothes too. I don't keep kids clothes on my site or on hand because it doesn't sell as well as adult clothes at shows.

    Happy Shopping :)

    check out my supplier for blanks, they only come in white but they have anything you might want to have tiedyed. They have umbrellas, dog shirts, dozens of dress styles, and the biggest assortment of childrens clothing I have found. they will sell you the dye, or I can even dye it up custom for you.

    there really isn't much choice for boys, I've noticed that too... you may have to get crafty and start making your own!

    I found the same thing recently when I went looking for shoes. There were like a zillion pairs that were pink or had ruffles, but only one pair in the right size that was acceptable for a boy. And they had Nemo on them. We don't generally do corporate logos. But there really was no other choice unless I wanted to dress him in pink sparkles. Please, we have enough people who think he's a girl as it is. What's up with this? Don't they think little boys exist any more.

    when I was doing tie dye as a business, I made tons of recycles (items I bought used, then dyed) they sold way better than the new items.
    if you know someone who dyes or if you do, find some cotton items and go dye crazy. stains cover easy.
    I did bib overalls, long sleeved shirts, polos, if it was cotton, I dyed it. I still have one box of winter clothes that I will be selling on e-bay as soon as it cools a little, it has some boys clothes in it.
