ABOUT APPAMAN
Kids' clothes built for real city life. Since 2003.
Appaman is a premium children's clothing brand founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2003. We design slim, modern clothes for kids in sizes 2T–16, best known for our boys' suits and winter coats.
OUR STORY
Started by two Brooklyn parents who wanted better kids' clothes.
In 2003, Harald & Lynn couldn't find kids' clothes that matched the way their family actually lived in New York: stylish enough for the city, tough enough for the playground. So they made their own.
Two decades later, Appaman still designs every collection in New York. Today you'll find us on Appaman.com, on Amazon, and in stores like Nordstrom, Saks and Neiman Marcus, and many more boutiques.

HOW WE DESIGN
The Four Fs: Fabric, Fit, Feel and Function.
Every Appaman piece is judged on the same four things before it goes into a collection.

Everything we make is meant to bring a little adventure and a lot of confidence to the everyday.
BEHIND THE SEAMS
From Sketch to Closet.
Every Appaman piece starts in our New York office and goes through the same four steps before it reaches your child.
Sketched in New York
Each collection starts with sketches and mood boards in our New York office, inspired by how city kids actually dress.
Fabric First
We choose and test fabrics for softness, durability and how they hold up in the wash.
Fit-tested on Real Kids
We fit-test our styles on real kids in key sizes and safety-test them before they're approved.
Made and Shipped
Made in China and shipped from our warehouse to your door.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.
Is Appaman a good brand?
Generally yes, by parent reviews. A review aggregator summarizes it as stylish, high-quality kidswear that suits slim, fashion-forward kids especially well. Bloggers praise the winter coats in particular, and the brand has a long history of celebrity customers. The common caveat is the slim fit.
Where is Appaman based?
New York. It was started by a Brooklyn couple in 2003, and orders ship from a New Jersey warehouse.
Does Appaman run true to size?
Mostly, but slim. Product pages describe a slim, European cut and recommend checking the size chart. Reviews are mixed between "true to size" and "runs slightly small," and the brand's FAQ recommends sizing up when a child is between sizes.
Are Appaman suits machine washable?
Yes, most of our suits are machine washable.
What sizes does Appaman carry?
We offer products from size 2T to 16.
Where can I buy Appaman?
Online at Appaman.com, or on Amazon, plus department stores and boutiques like Nordstrom, Saks, and Neiman Marcus.
What is Appaman's return policy?
Within 21 days of delivery. Refunds using our label have a $9.99 fee, while exchanges and store-credit returns ship free.
