Shirts That Go Review

My boys love any and all vehicles, the faster the better.  I was recently given the opportunity to review products from a great company called Shirts That Go:

Our Inspiration – It is what we are about

When our children see vehicles such as trucks and trains they are just AMAZED and captivated by them. We share that feeling at Shirts that Go! All vehicles are interesting, but certain ones are really noticed by kids and tap into their imagination and wonder about the world. Let’s consider a few examples that have inspired us.

We take our boys to watch the trains go by at a local train line. We park in, of all places, a fire station parking lot! The parking lot happens to be right on the rail line and only 50 feet from a railroad crossing (with the gates and everything). We know the times roughly for when the Amtrak comes by on Sunday mornings, so we sit in our van and wait for the train to come. Soon, a train horn can be heard off in the distance… the boys start to get crazy excited. The excitement builds as we hear a few more train horns as the train approaches other nearby crossings on the way toward us. Then… the crossing gates start to come down with the familiar “ding ding” warning bells. We are all at the windows now and the boys are riveted. Then – here comes the diesel engine at about 60 miles per hour. It’s loud, it’s HUGE, and the ground is shaking a bit. WOW!! Boys are there with eyes wide open and just blown away by the experience of this incredible machine. Soon, it is gone, and we are kind of spinning as the energy level comes down a bit. We all have a bit of adrenaline surging from that experience for the next 20 minutes or so, and we are so excited about our day.

Sometimes we find ourselves at an intersection in our van and there is nothing too exciting going on. Just sitting there waiting for the light to change and the kids are in the back chatting. Suddenly, a siren is blaring and a massive bright red fire engine is trying to get through the intersection. The boys forget whatever it was they were fighting about and are wide eyed with WOW! They have seen this before, but it never gets old. What an amazing machine!

There are many examples of this that we all see with our children. What we are seeing with these experiences is their sense of wonder about the world being brought right to the surface by these amazing vehicles. So, what is Shirts that Go! all about? Cool designs on t-shirts… or is there something more? We are trying to connect with that sense of wonder about the world with our line of kids t-shirts. We understand that we cannot bottle that energy and put it down on a shirt somehow. What we can do though is provide awesome shirts with realistic vehicles shown in motion to let the kids share their love for these vehicles. To us this is all about adventure, travel, transportation, early concepts about careers, imagination, dreams, possibilities, awe, and of course FUN!

Shirts That Go generously allowed both of my boys to choose a shirt.  The 4 year old chose:

Electric Train T-shirt

The boys train shirt showcases our version of the electric train at high speed with sparks flying from the pantograph. One thing is for sure, this is one awesome boys train t-shirt!

The 2 year old chose the Blue Firetruck T-shirt:

These kids fire truck shirts showcase the classic small town ladder truck that the toddlers and kids love. This design is available in classic red or Carolina Blue for the UNC Chapel Hill fans or the kids that just would want something different from the classic red.

All shirts are priced at $22.00 and have free S&H.  Order more than one shirt and get a progressive discount!

My take:  When I initially looked at the selection of t-shirts, I was positive my oldest would choose the Steam Train T-shirt and the youngest would choose the Red Fire truck T-shirt.  However when they looked at the selection they were very adamant in their choices.  The shirts arrived very quickly in a small white box with a cement truck on it.  As soon as the oldest saw the box he knew exactly what was in it.  Once I showed them the t-shirts they both immediately wanted to try them on.

When I was looking at the website I noticed the statement If in doubt about the size, order one size larger.  My 2 year old still has that big belly and my 4 year old is really tall so I took measurements from the size chart and then ordered one size larger- the shirts fit great.  They are a little big but I prefer that since they can wear them for longer.  Both of these shirts are very soft to the touch and the boys were so thrilled that they have worn them several times.  Washing the shirts do not fade, discolor or shrink them.  These shirts are perfect for children who love vehicles that go!
