Holiday Gift Idea: Classic Apparel for the Littles in Your Life from Feltman Brothers

Holidays have been on my mind lately, and the upcoming holidays this fall and winter are what I’ve been thinking about. It’s not too early to start thinking about holiday gifting and holiday outfits. I’ll bet many of you have already started putting your lists together, if you haven’t started shopping already. And remembering the children in your life often comes first.

After several months of fun summer apparel such as swimsuits and denim, there are lots of opportunities coming up for the young ones in your orbit to dress in apparel and accessories made from cotton. While I love fun contemporary clothes for kids in bright colors and fun prints often manufactured from manmade fabrics, there certainly are occasions when classic styles and traditional colors are called for. And Feltman Brothers extensive collections for boys and girls, ranging from newborn, babies, toddlers to younger children fit the bill! In fact, their clothing is so timeless that you may not want to pass the items along when your child or grandchild outgrows them. Honestly, they look like future heirlooms!

Because so many kids may have sensitivities to wool and other fabrics against their skin, Feltman Brothers’ crafts their apparel primarily from 100% cotton including the knits or super-soft velour made from 70% cotton/30% poly. When you see how gorgeous these items are, you almost can’t believe that they’re all  machine washable! 

Feltman Brothers apparel includes everything from:

• outfits for coming home after birth
• onesies, rompers, shortalls, longalls for babies
• toddler and children’s clothing including knit sets, suits, sweaters, pants, and dresses for daily wear or special days
• accessories such as booties, bonnets, hats, blankets, headbands, and bibs.

They have clothing for occasions such as:

• newborns: for a Jewish bris or a Christening ceremony
• Easter and Christmas outfits
• wedding outfits
• photoshoot outfits.

Babies’ and girl’s clothing may have embroidery, lace, or embossing. There are even adorable vintage-style smocked dresses.

Colors are classic in white, pastel pink/blue/lavender, red, navy, and grey. I love this charcoal grey button down cable hoodie sweater. So darn cute!

Feltman Brothers, a new-to-me brand, reached out to me as they launched their 2025 collections. I asked if it would be OK if I asked Jeff’s younger daughter, M., if she would like to try one of their items for her 3 and a half year old. M’s daughter typically favors bright pink or bright purple attire with dinosaurs or Bluey, but M. said she would be happy to give this new-to-her brand a try. She selected the Pointelle Ruffle Knit Cardigan in pastel pink, available in sizes from Newborn to 4T.

M. was surprised when the sweater arrived. It was even nicer in person than in the photo online. Plus the 4T was a perfect fit for now and as J. grows a little more! Although M. had to bribe her daughter to pose for a couple of quick photos (she bribed her with gummies), here she is wearing the sweater.

M. loved the sweater and described it as “soft”, “delicate”, “perfect to wear to church, a party or a special event”.

Here are closeups of the details:

She said it would be perfect to wear now where they live in the mountains of North Carolina since the temperatures are ranging from the high 40s in the morning during the school commute to the 60s in the afternoon. In addition, M. couldn’t believe that the sweater was washable, but she liked that a lot because who has time to hand wash kids’ clothes?

So if you’re looking for a special outfit for your daughter or son, or an adorable gift for one of the littles in your family or in your friend circle, take a look at the Feltman Brothers apparel website!
