Eh maybe not anything when it comes to B/S/T people are nuts for Kyte and Little Sleepies and that all seems to be hype machine and too much free time/shopping addictions.. I agree about Primary though. Solid stuff.

Primary, Tea, Winter Water Factory, Mini Boden. These are the items that are on their fifth and sixth kids in our hand me down group and still going strong.

Primary. Older Hanna Andersson is better-thicker; softer. Mini Boden on sale only

Hanna Andersson, Primary, Boden, Land's End/L.L. Bean (great for swim and winter outerwear), Gymboree, Gap, and Oshkosh (older especially on the last 3) I go through Poshmark and make bundles. Sometimes you can get another 20-40% discounts from sellers who just want to clear things out. A bit older is best - not only will the sellers normally give higher discounts (the old 'I don't need a 12mo jacket for my 7 year old') but the quality was a lot better across the board. Carters, Old Navy, Garanimals, Gerber are all cheap enough new that it's fine to fill out a wardrobe, but I typically have more issues with tears/wear/not being able to get stains out.

* Hanna Anderssen (especially PJs and undies) * Tea Collection * Primary * Boden * Gap The first four are also good for resale. Gap less so.

Primary, Uniqlo, miniBoden. Hanna Andersson used to be best in this category, but not sure how they are now because my kids outgrew it a long time ago, but even towards the end of their tenure wearing it, the quality had gone down. They had a new CEO that cut costs, and I think that CEO is now out, not sure how it is now. Carter's also used to be good quality for the cost - again, not sure if they've been enshittified or not b/c my kids have outgrown them. But they used to be very good quality! Hopefully still are.

Definitely. My family has a Primary hand-me-down order. The clothes look the same 3 kids in. I love that the clothes are not thin and can take a beating.

Primary! My kids love them so much and they last much longer than other brands I’ve tried! And no shrinking!

If you have Once Upon a Child go there and look for second hand Primary, Hanna Anderson, Boden, and vintage Gymboree etc... take your time feeling the fabrics. I recently got a Gymboree shirt for my oldest that I'm confident will make it through all (soon to be 3) of my boys because it's so thick and well stitched. Look for shirts that feel sturdy. Some old Gap and Old Navy will be good too. I've also bought kids Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama second hand and those are durable too.

We buy mostly second hand from a consignment store in town. We also shop sales for Hanna Andersson and Janie and Jack. I just used the second hand shop on the Hanna Andersson website for a Christmas gift and had a great experience there. Agree with the other comments that Hanna Andersson underwear is great quality, and cute designs! For Leggings and undershorts I love primary. I wait for the sales, but they are good quality and hold up well.

I really liked Primary.com for my kids’ clothes. I’m bummed that my youngest finally sized out. Basics in a variety of colors. They’re well made, some of them can transition well as the child grows, they mix and match well, and the ones that did need minor mending held up well afterwards.

Primary. Anything that has a thriving B/S/T on fbook like Primary must be long lived. Mine all grow out of it before it wears out and I just trade it down to newborn sizes for the next one.
