Has anyone found shabbos sets for little boys?

I bought velvet ones this past winter for my little ones and it was so easy (on erev shabbos straight thru motzai, looks shabbosdik).

I haven't seen summer ones anywhere?

Shirt stop has a bunch online.
I will say that I don't love the summer options the last few years. When my older boys were little the summer Shabbos pajamas were more Shabbosdik designs but still soft and comfortable. The ones I see now are not that different than what I put on during the week.

I've very curious. Can someone show a link of what a robe for a boy looks like? I've never heard of this before.

Google Images is failing me. I get pictures of girls in dresses, and boys in Purim costumes.

You and mean both FF. Technically I knew what they meant, just never heard shabbos jammies for boys referred to as “robes”

Yeah it's funny to call them robes, that's why I put it in quotes. But that's what the lady in designer spot called it when I asked for boys shabbos sets, so I figured I'd go with it.

I'm going to check those websites but I was hoping not to spend more than $25 a pair. (That's what I spent in the winter.)

Eta, just checked Lulu's website calls them 2 pieced robes. Very Happy

Ha! I had to look at that myself because I had never heard of this! I guessed at the website so I think this is it... https://lulukidsclothing.com/c.....2ls73

If I'm right, wow, that kid does NOT look happy! This is not anything I would put my boys in and its not something they would wear if I tried! Whats with all black for kids? In the summer? And kids not smiling in modeling photos?

You know what that kid is thinking?

"I will kill you in your sleep."

You know you're not doing it for your kids, you're doing it for yourself. Dressing them up like dolls, or Chihuahuas. Yeesh! (I feel the same way about matching everything.)

Why do frum people torture their kids like this? What's wrong with wearing normal clothing, or calling it pajamas? Maybe they do it so they can double the prices.

Relax, no one is torturing their kids. These are made for kids basically 5 and under. I've never seen older kids wearing these. They're practical and comfortable. Especially for playing outside in the summer.

I could get the same thing for a third the price and give my 6yo a bib.
I think try buying a solid color set then adding the trim yourself.

You are going to put your little kid in all black to play outside in the summer? With long pants? And the ones I linked have to be dried flat, not in a machine, ironed, HAND WASHED before you ever wear them... what of this is practical?

First wash hand wash
Machine wash cold
Wash with like colors
Do not bleach
Flat dry
Iron on reverse side

If you buy them because you like them, enjoy! Wear them in good health! But don't tell me it's practical for pajamas.

The kid looks like every cliche in a movie where there is the spoiled whiny rich kid who doesn't know how to interact with the neighborhood kids.

Generally they are either dressed in white sailor suits or they are dressed in gray flannel shorts with knee socks LOL

That's a bath robe, and totally normal. I'm wondering what a "Shabbos robe" is, and why it would be worn outside. I'm pretty sure people don't send their little kids outside to play in bath robes (of course, I've been wrong before. You never know...)

Nothing says "Summer" like black velour, right? Especially in Israel. Sunny

These are all pajamas, not boys 2 piece robes.

It's basically a nice comfortable cotton 2 piece for little boys. Like the one that was posted from lulu.
