At
Unboring Boys we like to feature a diversity of boys' clothes and accessories for our readers, from big name companies to small emerging shops and designers.
Our latest indie discovery is
Tree Town Batiks. We love their one-of-a-kind batik tees for boys. You'll find just about anything that boys would be into on them, from trains to robots to guitars, with some offbeat stuff thrown in like
broccoli! Their youth shirts go all the way to 12, and they have a fun collection of bodysuits for babies, from 6 months up, plus some wonderful pieces for grown-ups, like our favorite
peacock print. The process that designer Jerusha uses to make these shirts is fascinating; you can read more about it on her site. Right now she is offering 20 percent off long sleeve shirts when you buy 2 or more.
Readers, time is running out to participate in our giveaway for a free Little Ace necktie. Just leave a comment about the blog, what you like, what you want to see more of, or just tell us your favorite boys' clothing designers and shops, and on 5/31 we'll pick one name at random from all the comments we receive to win the tie. Thanks for your feedback! ~ Denice

A Little Etsy Love for Jerusha...
I just wanted to share with you all a fabulous shop I ran into on etsy when looking for cute clothes for my boy.
Jerusha - Tree Town Batiks makes batik shirts in a wide variety of styles & designs for boys, girls, and adults too!
My boy was given a train shirt because he's seriously train addicted & it became his favorite. Seriously, if it was clean, he was wearing it. You'd think with all those colors, and being hand dyed with such bold colors, that the color would run or fade, and I can say it held up incredibly well! Since he is outgrowing it, I was thrilled to see that jerusha was still making that design & they made one special for me in a new size for my growing boy!
If you are interested in buying unique fun shirts for your tots, jerusha is a joy... just be sure to give them plenty of turnaround time to get your shirt made. If you're ordering for the holidays, don't do it only a couple weeks before Christmas & expect to have it in time...it takes 2 -4 weeks to work this kind of magic. This kind of quality & charm takes time...so get your orders in early!
It's really worth the wait!
With their bright colors and one of a kind designs these shirts and onsies are already flying out the door!!
Designs range from Star Wars storm troopers, to unicorns, some pirate ships, robots, wise old owls and more!
All of the designs are hand drawn individually on each shirt, then they are hand painted, leaving no two shirts the same!
These are locally made shirts created by hand, making them unique one of a kind pieces of wearable art!
Hurry in to grab one of Tree Town Batiks fabulous products!
