Cat and Jack clothing is surprisingly solid! My daughter had received many hand-me-downs which we have passed along as well!

I'm a fan of their clothing line. They're great!

Our kids wore the crap out of some cat and jack, and handed them down. It’s a good brand.

Do they sell kitten mittens too?

Mittens and gloves get lost way to often to be used as hand me downs.

Unless you put your kids in this mismatched mittens, which I will confess to having done on occasion. My favorite is when I was shoving my toddler boy into one Pink mitten and one raccoon men at my husband's work Christmas party. The lady across from us couldn't stop laughing since she had small children too.

Edit: I see that typo and I ain't changing it.

You could have just used another mitten! Poor raccoon men.

Why we had "idiot mittens" with a string that connected them through your coat sleeves.

Rude. Unless this is some kind of joke I don't know about, in which case it only seems very rude indeed.

We just named all our kids with the same instials. Backfires once in a while when I send an older kid in too small snowpants, but thats minor.

One year I kept charge of my students' elementary's lost and found. A fairly affluent area with only 30% assisted lunches. You have NO idea how rare it is for parents to put their children's name in their coats even when they helpfully have a space like this brand. End of the year over 200 coats, jackets, and hooded had to be donated because there was no way to identify to whom they belonged and no one ever came looking for them.

Wow. At least someone else would get to use the lost items.

To me that sounds like over 200 children lost their lives every year, or at least I would have, had I told my mom that I lost my clothes.

Thank you for letting me know my son losing 11 jackets last winter was an accidental act of charity. Makes me feel a little better.

I'm curious why this was relevant.

janellthegreat t1_iy8ajhs wrote

Might be. Might not be. I guess its my own perception it must be people with money that can afford to loose a coat rather than label it unnecessarily finding itself in my rambling.

FilthyPondScum t1_iy8xnez wrote

I assume the commenter suspects that if these parents were less wealthy, they would take greater care to prevent their child’s coat from getting lost since replacing it would be more difficult to afford.

Drackar39 t1_iy5f18g wrote

Was curious about what brand this was...it's in target for like $20-40 bucks. That's impressive expectation of lifespan for a target product.

Drangip_eek_glorp t1_iy6bxb9 wrote

The stuff they make is for ages where the child wears it for maybe a year and grows out of it. Children’s clothing is frequently handed down and passed around because of this.

Drackar39 t1_iy6hctu wrote

I mean yeah granted but I don't think I have a single item from Target that's lasted me a whole year.

EDIT: LOOL i'm getting nuked for a honest, factual statement. I fucking love this site.

Are you a 7 year old girl?

When my sons were 9 9 and 6 the big one would grow out of his jeans pass them to his smaller brother then the pants go in the attic a year or two when they'll fit the little guy

Kids only stay in one size for a short time

Drackar39 t1_iy9cti3 wrote

I am not, in fact, a seven year old girl. But they do a similar amount of wear and tear on clothing as I do, in my experience.

Little bundles of destructive energy, kids.

I have no experience with target clothes, but I've heard people say the same about h&m clothes, which also usually last me 4-7 years with some outliers where for instance I have a 2010 pair of sweatpants that are still going strong and on the other hand sometimes a seam goes loose in the first wash, but those are exceptions; usually I wear clothes until the fabric is pilling. So I do wonder: what do you do with your clothes? Do you crawl through a lot of tight spaces? Are you wearing a size too small? Does your washing machine have spikes on the inside? Do you only have 2 outfits so that you're washing them every other day?

Edit: I realised that my comment could be taken in a mean way, but I hope it isn't, because I don't mean it like that, I am curious about the actual answer, but I also didn't sleep well and am maybe not wording my words right.

Ding ding ding. I do, in fact, crawl through tight spaces, etc. I'm a handyman.

But I've also had store brands from other stores last me a year or longer, especially wranglers from K-mart while K-mart was still a thing.

Target carries "levis" that are half as thick and half as durable as any other pair of Levis I've ever owned, that last 1/4 the time.

kaytay3000 t1_iy5zget wrote

Cat and Jack is great and they have an amazing warranty. If your kid wears it out within a year of purchase, you can take the item and your receipt to Target and get a replacement or a refund. And, if you use Target Circle you don’t even need the physical receipt because it will be in your Target App.

I didn’t know this. My boys get holes on the knees of cat & Jack jeans within one month. Went through several pairs before I gave up on the brand. Now only buy them old navy jeans. No holes!

standard_candles t1_iy6t7yj wrote

I actually have a pair of their shoes I bought secondhand that I can wear as an adult and I have worn them for 3 summers. The trade-off for being able to wear kids shoes for cheap is that they're not built to last but these ones somehow are.

I've been buying clothes from target since like 2007 & their clothes usually last longer than any other brand of similar priced clothing.

Kids grow out of stuff so fast that the clothes will general last quite a lot longer than they’ll fit them

From what I recall, you can take Cat and Jack for return of their products start to fall apart within 12 months of purchase.

I took a pair of jeans in at 11 months of use and the exchanged them easy peasy.

That's not surprising, and actually a neat idea. Kids grow so fast, hand me downs are just what to expect out of children's clothing.

rhodav t1_iy8vxzc wrote

I've had no luck with cat and jack outerwear. I hear that their clothes are great quality too, but that's all I buy every school year due to affordability and all the clothes rip or the shirts form little holes lol. Only thing I've never had an issue with is their cotton knit shorts.

Their policy is great though.
