Does anyone know of an online store that sell OshKosh boys underwear? I have a preschooler who is bothered by almost all underwear- tags, seems, elastic, etc. Even The Children's Place underwear soft tags get "crumbly" in the wash and become too itchy for him. He does well with some OshKosh undewear that have very soft silky sewn-on tags. Thanks!

Here's a store locator so you can find an outlet store local to you:

Otherwise your only choice is probably going to be Ebay... make sure they're new in package. :wink:

Thanks Mage! I had tried that website before and found the locations. My hope was to purchase them online. Unfortunately couldn't find his size on ebay. I'll keep looking.

Hi,

I think Amazon.com sells Oshkosh undies. Believe it or not they have an extensive clothing selection on Amazon.

What about Fruit of the Loom? Aren't all of their undies now tagless and just have a screenprinted "tag" on the inside?

I'll check out Amazon, but just yesterday realized that the new OshKosh underwear has the stenciled label instead of the sewn-on kind. Stenciled writing often crumbles in the wash and becomes too itchy for a sensitive skin.

Now he seems to be doing okay with Timberland underwear once I cut the label off completely.

Fruit of the Loom doesn't work so well. The label is is glued on and is soft, but the edges of the tag can be sharp.

We're going to try the LandsEnd underwear next. We'll see how that goes. They have a tag you can cut off and seems to have a fairly flexible and soft elastic.

We've tried them. At first they seemed to be pretty good, but then the looser than normal leg openings started chafing his thighs!

You are doing great!Keep looking! I buy everything without tags and instead anything with printed labels! Just am getting him to wear blue jeans more instead of windpants. He still won't wear anything with buttons! The only except is his bowling shirt, which he wears a white t-shirt under the shirt. Keeping his clothes, plain and simple has worked here! Also helps that he wants to be like dad! He is a 14yr old Aspie w/ ADDH. I also take him shopping for clothes,so that he can pick them out. These always has helped him be aware of the cost of things. By making him, choose his clothes, he must wear them. I can't afford to keep buying him clothes, at his age that he will not wear.!

at age 10, daughter still does not wear anything that buttons- it's getting harder and harder to find pants that she'll wear.
