Harley-davidson baby and children s clothing and accessories

The Harley-Davidson line of baby and children’s clothing includes items ranging from newborn booties to motorcycle jackets, and clothing for virtually any occasion. Available accessories include items such as head wraps, lunch totes, wallets, backpacks, and diaper bags. What sets these products apart, aside from the licensed brand name, is their quality and attention to detail. Many clothing items are 100% cotton or soft velour and offer a comfortable fit. Common detail elements include embroidered or woven patches featuring the Harley Bar and Shield logo or other Harley designs. Many of the newborn and infants outfits also come complete with a headband (for girl’s), hat, or doo rag cap.


The Harley-Davidson line of toys, furniture, and dйcor accessories includes items such as rockers, toy storage boxes, stools, and growth charts. Many parents these days are searching for unique products that break away from the common animal and flower themes so prevalent in baby dйcor. These Harley products offer parents that alternative. Unfortunately, Harley-Davidson crib bedding is not available as a licensed product, although it has been a common request received at our store ( TinyTreasuresBaby. com). New products are available each season, so we are keeping our fingers crossed for this one to appear.


These products are not just for the motorcycle or Harley enthusiast. People who have perhaps a mild interest in motorsports or the Harley brand are discovering the quality and style of these products. Many of the customers on our site purchase Harley newborn clothing gift boxes as baby shower gifts for their friends who have some interest in or tie to the motorcycle community.


Although the Harley-Davidson brand is becoming more and more popular, the baby and children’s products are not necessarily easy to find. The Harley dealerships tend to carry a limited selection of these products, and many people do not live near enough to a dealership for convenient shopping. Those who have shopped at dealerships know their price tags can also be somewhat of a deterrent. Considering the cost of fuel these days, and our all-too-often over booked schedules, many people are opting to shop online. Very few web retail stores carry the licensed Harley line. Websites carrying specifically the baby and children’s clothing and accessories products are especially limited. We carry an extensive selection on our site at TinyTreasuresBaby. com, and we strive to offer them at very competitive and reasonable prices. Another site with good selections is BikersDen. com.


The Harley-Davidson baby and children’s clothing and accessories line is updated seasonally (spring/summer and fall/winter), so customers should check for brand new items, and updates on old favorites, especially in early spring and early fall. We at TinyTreasuresBaby. com have noticed that certain items are continuously in high demand – the Newborn Denim Bar and Shield Gift Set, motorcycle and denim jackets, the Spare Parts Gift Set, diaper bags, and newborn booties, just to name a few.

History of socks timeline

Believe it or not socks have been around since the stone ages. They were very different from socks as we know them today. They were often made of animal skins that were tied around the ankles.


In Ancient Egypt there is evidence of the existence of knitted socks and by the 8th century BC, the Greek poet Hesiod wrote of paloi - socks made of matted animal hair. They were mostly worn by actors in comedic plays.


During the Middle Ages colored cloth tied around the legs and held up with garters were in popular use. Garters were placed over the top of the sock/stocking to prevent them from falling down. They were mostly worn among the more wealthy.


In the 1490’s, breeches and hosiery were one piece. They later became known as tights. They were made of colorful silks, wools and velvet. Each leg was often a different color. At the turn of the fifteenth century knitted hose was being worn in France and Scotland.


In the 1590’s knitting machines were created. This made the use of knitted hose more common. With the wearing of tunics hose had to be made longer.


In the 17th century the use of cotton became popular in the making of socks. Early Americans also used wool and silk. Poorer people wore woolen hose usually tan in color. The rich on the other hand wore fine silk hosiery and more colors.


During the 19th century knitting mills allowed hose to be made in America. As men’s pants became longer stockings became shorter until the term was changed to sock and replaced the term stocking. The word sock is derived from the Latin word “soccus” which means light covering of the foot. Women to date wear stockings, tights, or socks.
