As parents we all know that fit is one of highest priorities when shopping for our children. We are also very appreciative of the fact that the 21st century trend for internet shopping does not help in our pursuit for just the right size!
So, to help as much as we can we are giving you the boys and girls measurements that our garments have been based upon. We hope it helps!

I don’t know about you, but my kids are very fussy about their clothes. As well as looking great they need to be super comfortable. Anything that is in the slightest bit irritating gets a thumbs down immediately. So, at Kite Kids, we do all we can to optimise the level of comfort.


As all of our clothing is made from cotton we don’t recommend that you tumble dry it as any cotton, whatever the quality, will shrink to some extent. Having said that, our tests have shown that our clothes will not shrink by more than 5% if thrown in the tumble drier. So if you are happy to live with this, please feel free to do so.
Because we are careful to use dyes that are as natural as possible there is a chance that your garments will fade through washing. Our recommendation is that you turn the clothes inside out before washing as this is proven to help retain the colours.
Although our care instructions recommend a 40 degree wash, we whole heartedly support the move to 30 degree washing which obviously uses less power and is therefore generally more environmentally friendly. So, if you do want to move to ‘greener’ washing, Kite clothes will certainly wash well at this lower temperature.
Finally, when you have washed and worn your Kite clothes, until they fit no more, please don’t throw them in the bin. Recycle them to a friend or find your nearest local clothes recycling bin. There is always another home for them to go to!
