Baby Greendog
October 12, 2005
With fall upon us, I thought it was time for another review of a very fall-like product. So, here it is: Macy’s (and by Macy’s I mean only available at Macy’s) new Baby Greendog collection of clothes for the under 1 year crowd. Yup, it’s what Hayes is wearing to the left. You can read all about it on their website here.
All you really need to know from their website, though, is that the clothes are super soft, mix and match and blah da blah. All good marketing jargon that usually falls well short of the truth. In this case however, if anything, it doesn’t give the clothes enough credit. These are by far the nicest, highest quality clothes Hayes has. Period.
Keep in mind we live in an area proliferated by high-end baby boutiques that sell baby shoes that cost more than our Subaru. In other words, I’ve had ample chance to see super expensive clothing, and it ain’t as nice. It just isn’t. Those expensive boutiques seem to only offer the wear it once to make baby look cute but, don’t you dare wash it kind. On the other hand, we’ve washed this outfit and, suprisingly, it still looks as good as new.
So here’s the short and skinny of it: if you need something to “dress up” the baby, but that can also be worn day-to-day without running the risk of ruining it, the Baby Greendog line fits the bill. Sure, it’s a bit more expensive than a trip to TJ Max, but, in this case, you get what you pay for.

Darn - Too bad Sophie is too old, and Maggie is doomed to wearing hand-me-downs. Looks like it would be some nice product.

we were just looking at their line this weekend and we love it, too. and that they go up to “kid” sizes makes me quite happy - since the kids? they grow. fast.

I like that they aren’t all blue tricked out with sports motifs.

Hey handsome! And by that I mean Hayes. Nice baby clothes… and you forgot to mention that the colors all match the site.
That’s the good thing about shopping for baby stuff there in the US, the selection is dizzying. I got a nice camouflage onesie from The Gap on sale! Check it out: http://thebeebox.typepad.com/jeremyjethro/2005/09/bowl_cut_away.html

did you have a look at the girls clothes? Are they cute? I’m not allowed to buy anything that’s not cute.

Yah, I’d say they are. But then, I’m not a girl.

I love the baby greendog brand as well. It is soft, stylish, still babyish (I am not a fan of baby clothes that looks like it is for a teenager.) I love the colors and prices are very reasonable. You can even find some of the stuff on clearance for a steal. A great brand!
