Baby boys' jackets and coats: a quick guide
tuc tuc baby boys' coats are transitional jackets: woven jackets with dinosaur, pirate, animal or surfboard prints, hooded denim jackets, blazers, a waistcoat and knitted cardigans. Sizes start at 0-1 month. Pair them with our baby boys' transitional clothing; for winter, see cold and rain.
Which style for which occasion
- Zip-up woven fabric: keeps out wind and light drizzle. The everyday jacket.
- Denim: hard-wearing and easy to match; the hooded ones are really practical.
- Blazer or waistcoat: for family meals, celebrations or a special photo.
- Knit: the softest option for the first few months.
Size by height
As a guide: 3-6 months = 63–68 cm, 6-9 months = 69–71 cm, 12-18 months = 75–83 cm, 18-24 months = 83–92 cm. If he's between two sizes, choose the larger one. You'll find all the measurements in the size guide.
Easy combinations
Printed jacket with plain trousers; plain or denim jacket with a printed top. That way the patterns don't clash.
Basic care
Do up the zip before washing, wash inside out on a cold wash and follow the care label. All tuc tuc clothing is made in line with the European REACH regulation, which bans harmful substances in textiles.
Woven or denim for everyday?
If you want the lightest option that keeps the wind out, go for a zip-up woven jacket. If you want one that can take anything and goes with any top, choose hooded denim.
Frequently asked questions
What size jacket does an 18-month-old baby boy need?
Usually 18-24 months, which is for 83–92 cm. If he's still under 83 cm, 12-18 months (75–83 cm) will fit him well. On each jacket's product page you can enter his height and we'll suggest the size.
Is a woven jacket OK for rain?
It's fine for wind and light drizzle, but not for heavy rain. For properly rainy days, a hooded raincoat is better – take a look at our raincoats. The woven jacket is the everyday transitional option.
What should a baby boy wear to a wedding or christening?
A blazer or waistcoat is the smartest option, with a shirt and plain trousers. If it's a bit chilly, the blazer is warm enough both inside and outside the venue without needing a coat on top.
How do you wash a baby's denim jacket?
As a general rule, wash it inside out, on a cold wash and without tumble drying, and always follow the care label on each garment. For the first few washes, wash it with similar colours, as denim can release a little dye. Denim gets softer with every wash.
Is a transitional jacket a good gift for a baby boy?
Yes, it's one of the most-worn pieces in spring and autumn. Choose a size above his age so it lasts longer, and a zip-up style, which is the easiest for dressing him.
What baby boys' jackets does tuc tuc have?
tuc tuc has woven jackets with all-over prints (dinosaurs, pirates, animals, surf), hooded denim jackets, knitted and woven blazers, a button-up waistcoat and knitted newborn cardigans. All comply with the European REACH regulation.
