There is no shortage of childrens t-shirts on the market these days. But in spite of the abundance, there isn’t much to like. It seems t-shirts come in one of several flavors: too commercialized, too cheesy, or too edgy for younger kids.
The challenge then is to find something that’s appropriate, but not turn them into a walking billboard for one of the media giants. After all, let’s face it, until they’re older, your children’s attire is your choosing and a reflection on your tastes.
Which is why we like the t-shirts from an outfit in Southern California called Havins Originals. Havins Originals is the brainchild of Vikki Havins and produces children’s clothing ‘heavily influenced by Southern California culture’, vintage design and rock n’ roll. We like the shirts because they’re decidedly non-mass market from graphics to print and cool in a way that doesn’t try too hard.
Plus, your little one will be comfortable. Vikki gets shirts from a vendor in Tennessee selected for the quality and softness of their cotton. The shirts are all custom dyed and vintage washed so no two are identical. According to Havins, “You will not find a children’s garment that compares, we guarantee it!”
