Thanks for the Crazy 8 recommendations!!

[Darcy Baldwin]

We got Connor's jeans a few days ago, but didn't try them on til this evening, and they're all perfect! It's nice to see him in jeans that aren't too short and that fit. And for $10/pair, it's an awesome deal! He's in love with them and thinks he's so stylin' now.

So, thanks, Amanda! This place rocks!

Glad it worked out for him!
I hope you signed up for their newsletter! They should have another sale coming up soon.

[Julie Billingsley]

they always have sales coming up! If you have a Gymboree Outlet near you, check them out too. The same plant makes Crazy 8, Gymboree, and Outlet merchandise. Crazy 8 and Gymboree Outlet have about the same pricing. Although I'm loving Crazy 8 jeans more than Outlet's right now.

Lurve me some Crazy8!

looooove crazy 8!! they just opened a store in my town, too!! YAY!!

so much cheaper than Gymboree, but just as cute!

Has anyone else noticed that things run a little big? I had to buy my daughter size 4s so they'd fit! (she's normally a 5).

I LOVE crazy8. I have also noticed they run a little big (both shirts and pants) so I'll buy a size smaller than what I regularly buy from now on. But the quality is really good.

I haven't tried Crazy 8, but I had heard they were a sister company to Gymboree... which is what 99% of kiddo's clothes come from (and 80% of the 99% from rummage sales. )... yes, I do agree... their clothes run big. I love that they are consistent.

Off to check out Crazy 8... in the past I wasn't excited about their styles...

I've just learned about Crazy8 recently. I LOVE Gymboree's quality but was wondering if Crazy8 is really as good after a while. I bought a bunch of Old Navy jeans for DS two years ago and every single pair was ripped in the knee within 8 weeks or so. Since we've never had this problem with anything else, I was just assuming the fabric wasn't as sturdy. Has anyone used Crazy8 jeans for a while? Do they hold up well? I have a very bouncy first grader. ;-)

I need to get some more school clothes too...just noticed this week that my son is outgrowing the current wardrobe. Gotta love that. I will go see if I can get on the list for Crazy 8's next sale!

Does anyone know if there is a coupon code out? I have a bunch of stuff in my cart but would like to save a little more if I can. Thanks for the help.

I've used them for my son for about 3 years now and he does put holes in the knees fairly quickly. However I have yet to find jeans he doesn't wear through quickly, so I end up stocking up up on loads in his current size and the next size up each year when they have their $6.99/pair sale. It works for us.

I found the same thing with ON jeans for DS. His Crazy 8 ones are thicker (he got the sweatpant waistband so I'm not sure about the regular ones) and took A LOT longer to put holes in. His Children's Place ones are good too. Just those cheap ON boy jeans are the major problem.

I took all his jeans from last school year that had holes and made them into jean shorts. That way I at least got some use out of them still!

Will is tall so the pants fit ok....with the adjustable waist.

He wore a shirt for the first time today and it's huge on him.
