When your kid will only wear long pants even if it's a million degrees. Havoc Denim Giveaway!

My boyo has some very definite rules when it comes to clothing.

Rule #1: Always wear long pants.

Rule #2: Always wear long sleeves.

Rule #3: Weather is irrelevant.

Rule #4: Unless it is the third Tuesday and a full moon then wear short sleeves.

Rule #5: If it is the second Sunday and a solar eclipse is possible, wear short pants.

Rule #6: Swimmers are the exception to all rules.


Sensory issues mean that clothing my son can be a tricky business. And as much as I want him to be happy, I don't feel okay about him wearing heavy trackie pants on a 30 degree day. He doesn't like stiff fabric hence the preference for trackies.

We were recently sent some relaxed roll tab lightweight jeans from Havoc Denim to try and I have to say... hallelujah!

Third Tuesday. Full Moon. Hooray.

The fabric is a lovely lightweight denim. My big 8 year old boy is wearing a size 8 and my little mate (3 but tall) is in a size 4.

The big boy loves them as they don't restrict him when he's riding his bike/scooter/motorcycle and he can have them rolled up or full length.

My little mate loves them because they are jeans.

I love them because despite the fact they are jeans, they are very light and when rolled up on the little mate allow some air to circulate around his legs!

I can say without a word of a lie that my small boy has worn his nearly every day since they arrived. Every now and then I sneak them away for washing but pretty much as soon as they're dry they are back in action.

Brotherly love <3

Want to check out some Havoc Denim for yourself? I have three pairs of the lightweight jeans to give away! Because the range has been so popular I have a pair in Size 3, Size 7 and Size 8 to be won. They'd make an awesome pressie for a special kid in your life if your own doesn't fit the bill. The jeans are valued at $59.95 each and you can find the full stockist list here.

To enter please leave a comment telling me about the quirky things your kids (or you!) do when it comes to clothing. Please also be sure to specify which size you'd like to win and a way for me to contact you when you do.

Entries close 5pm Sunday 22nd January.

You can find Havoc Denim on Twitter and Facebook. Tell them I sent you ;)
