Review on Organic Boys' Clothing by Hanna Andersson: Unveiling the Moon Back Collection by Jeremy May

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful, durable and one of the only organic options for a teen

If you are looking for organic cotton t-shirts for a teen - not a toddler and not an adult - you will probably choose between them and the Feathers brand. I bought both so I will wear them together. Hanna "panties" made of thicker, denser cotton. The ribbed trimmings on the shoulders are also thick and solid. Hanna's undershirt can be more visible through a thinner shirt because there's just more fabric to create a curve. If you like a thick, durable undershirt, choose Hanna Andersson's designs. There is NO VISIBLE BRAND on the outside of Hanna underwear. Undershirts with feathers are made from finer cotton. They are less bulky under clothing but are not as warm and may be a little less durable. (Not to say that the Feathers vests are poorly made; they appear to be well tailored and have a reasonable, thinner "T-shirt" weight.) The Feathers undershirts have a very dark, large logo on the Outside near bottom hem . I don't like it, but you don't see it when the shirts are tucked in. The logo can be seen through the thin white cotton oxford when both shirts are open. This is the second time I've bought feather leotards and I've bought every size possible. Hanna underwear (panties and vests). I believe both are of high quality and will serve more than one child in a typical family. I have two children and the youngest wore everything that belonged to his older siblings. Both brands generally do a good job using no tags or just comfy, soft fabric tags (no annoying, itchy tags; I believe all tags were on OLD models, not circa 2021). Both brands will hold up for many years of wear, machine washed in hot water, tumble dried (at least sometimes) and without much care. I personally prefer the thinner weight. Feather shirts look aesthetically pleasing among my kids' shirts. A thicker Hanna T-shirt can pass as outerwear in summer; Feathers are (in my opinion) strictly underwear. I prefer the unmarked, invisible Hanna Andersson logo. I prefer all white tank tops (my four sets of Hanna underwear were a mix of gray and white). I think Hanna jerseys are slightly larger in design (wider/squarer) than Feathers, but both brands appear to be true to size based on the information listed in their size charts. My kids wore one size shirts for a VERY LONG TIME before they needed a larger shirt; They're soft, stretchy and - in a sleeveless design - fit into the era when t-shirts and jeans were no longer the same size. My kid didn't even know he had two different styles of tank tops until I asked him if he would prefer this review, but he's not particularly picky about clothes.
