h & m kids clothes - quality, sizing, etc

[Anonymous]

I've never purchase H&M for my son (3), but am tempted now that you can order online. Any thoughts on quality? Wash and wear well? And sizing - is it pretty accurate or comparable to other specific brands? He wears a 3T in Baby Gap, but if H&M kids runs like their adult clothes ... size up? I'd like to buy clothes that I can pass down the line, not just one-offs. Thanks for any thoughts!

Completely varies. Pair of pants #1, awful. Too big and ripped in the wash second washing. Throw away. Pair of pants too, perfect sizing and durable and excellent.

The few things we got were of very poor quality although the prices were very low.

Works well for our tall skinny 3.5 year old. We buy size 4-5 pants and 4-6 shirts. Not as good quality as Next, but still good.

The quality i've gotten has been excellent. I bought much of it in Europe but I think it's the same stuff as here (manufactured somewhere in Asia). Good prices too.

pants run very, very skinny for boys

I've been very happy with the H&M clothes that we buy, but we are still buying 12-18 months, so maybe they don't get as much force on them as a 3T boy

We have found them to be pretty true to size, but every now and then the sizing is weird. I'd recommend buying in person (H&M at Tysons has a childrens section).

Me, too, although I shop for a girl.

Quality can vary, but, at that price, I'd rather buy an h&m shirt than an Old Navy's or Crazy8's.

I really found that their sizing was never consistent. Two different pair of pants in the same size would have an inch or more of difference in width. Plus fairly low quality.

Ive found inconsisten sizing with most of the sizing running too big.

DS is 2 and the 1-1/2 size is way to big for him.

Hmmm, my experience has been different than some PPs. I agree the boys' stuff runs small/skinny. However, a lot of the girls' clothes, particularly dresses, run big. The quality is almost universally terrible. Think snaps breaking on the first wear, seams uneven, etc. I have found Old Navy, which is of comparable price, to wear much better (although not as good as Gap, Hanna Andersson, and Boden).

I've never had a problem with them. Especially for boys, who have such limited clothing options to begin with. H&M's kids clothes don't look so "babyish".
