Kevin Federline Is Tired Of Children’s Clothing Prices
And dadgummit, he’s going to do something about it:
Why is Kevin Federline breaking into the children’s clothing business? In part because he’s tired of paying for overpriced jeans for his kids Jayden, age 2, and Preston, 3.
Women’s Wear Daily reports that Federline dropped by the Project Trade show in Las Vegas Feb. 24 to research kids’ clothing styles in the hopes of starting his own line.
“It’s a really tough business, I’m trying to take it seriously and make a quality product for kids but not have parents pay like $500 or something ridiculous for a pair of jeans,” Federline told WWD. “You buy your kids a pair of True Religions, then they roll around in the dirt like kids do and a $200 pair of jeans is gone. With this economy, I’m looking to do something much more reasonable.”
I would like to point out, however…
Britney pays ex-husband Kevin Federline $480,000 a year, made up of $20,000 per month in “spousal support” and $15,000 a month on nannies for their sons Preston, three, and Jayden, two.
Federline, 30, will also get a $5,000-a-week “bonus” for letting the kids join Britney, 27, on legs of her Circus tour which kicks off in New Orleans on March 3.
But having said that, I do applaud his desire to not spend good money on clothes for kids that they outgrow in two months and tear up in one. Not sure if some people realize it or not, but there is an alternative to $200 jeans for kids…it’s called not buying designer label clothing. I’ve never understood parents who spend bucketloads of money at the mall for jeans and t-shirts and hoodies that their kids are going to wear at the playground, especially in these economic times. Toddlers don’t care. Stick them in some sweats and let ‘em play…as long as they have something covering their body when they are outside, that’s all that counts. It’s only the parents who get all crazed about designer labels when the kids are not even old enough to read.
Or do what I used to do when my kids were little and needed play clothes…go to Goodwill. If they tear up their jeans, you’re only out a few bucks (half-off if you managed to get the tag color of the day). And I got news for Kevin…it don’t get no better when they get older. My teenage son can tear up a pair of jeans in no time.
But but…it IS Kevin Federline, so I do have to wonder if there is an ulterior motive. He does seem to love his kids, but he just comes across as a bit shifty. Only time will tell, I guess. This could be yet another half-baked scheme, like the rap career. Would you let your kids wear toddler jeans by the House of Kfed?
Srsly…how cute are those boys???

What a dunder head. Anyone who would pay 250.00 for a pair of kids jeans shouldn’t care if they get them dirty. And if anyoe pays 250.00 for kids jeans they are STTTUUUUPPPID!
Even if I was rich, I wouldn’t buy those!
He is tired of paying high prices for kids clothes? Well how about just stop buying over priced crap that these clothing industries sell to rich idiots and laugh at them all the way to the bank! No instead he has to come out with a clothing line and embarass himself even further? Would love to be a fly on the wall at that fashion show!
What’s the advertising going to be??
“The K-Fed Line”
Man… the clothing is so dope and cheap!
Keepin’ it real for Daddies who only get $35,00 a month in child support. Peace Out!

Anyone who spends 250.00 for kids jeans is an IDIOT.
Even if I had the dough, I wouldn’t buy them.
The designers making this overpriced crap are laughing all the way to the bank at the fools who buy it!
Would love to be a fly on the wall at his fashion show!
“The K-Fed Line”

Keepin’ it real for the poor baby daddy’s only making 35,00.00 in child support. Peace Out!

Hey, even Shar Jackson has said that he’s a good father. That counts for something.

Haha, Froose also reads The Superficial…
Those kids are looking more and more like their daddy every day. Even though K-Fed’s idea is still laughable, at least he wants to do something instead of just stay at home letting Britney’s money cover everything. Or… uh… I dunno, now that Britney isn’t making an ass of herself every single day, it’s harder to say nice things about K-Fed. At least he’s not doing reality TV, “Bringing Up Britney’s Boys” or whatever.
