How to choose best fabric for kids clothing?

Choosing clothes has been a serious issue. Buying kids clothes is one of many things that people are concerned about. And this concern is global because no matter where you live, who you are or to which culture you belong, you are a human like other people living in other areas of the world.

This concern takes a hype when you are looking for kids clothing. And you should be worried because many fabrics of kids clothing are harmful for your kid's skin. Many people buy expensive clothes and think that they have done their job, but this is not the case. When you are buying clothes for your children, you should consider many things including the most important thing, the fabric. Reason why you should consider fabric as an important factor is that, some children have a skin which would react negatively to most of the fabrics.

Cotton, silk, woolen, linen and polyester may be used for kids clothing. However, kids' skin, different climatic conditions and different occasions demand different fabrics. Cotton knits, soft fleece and faded cottons, all are more comfortable choices for kids clothing. Keep in mind the following things:
  • Let your child choose what to wear, but choose fabric by yourself. Because your child do not know which fabric to use and which to not. Do not choose clothes for your children, but help them choose the best one.
  • Choose a durable fabric that works best for hard and rough use. Because children are not going to take care of their clothes very much. Denim jeans, polyester blends and khaki are tough choices for these clothes.
  • Avoid itchy and non-breathable fabrics and choose fabrics which are comfortable for kids to wear.
  • The fabric must be washable because children clothing is being washed very frequently. Avoid fabrics that shrink and fade in the wash. Permanent press fabrics or tumble dry knits are best choices for multiple wash purpose.
  • Only use flame-retardant fabric for making children's pajamas. Look for a label on the end of the fabric bolt core, with a sign indicating that this fabric is suitable for children's pajama.
Synthetic fabric may be low priced and look good, but try to avoid them because they have chemicals and dyes and many children are allergic to them.
