Engel Natur

We list Engel Natur on 4 of our 25 baby clothing pages: outerwear, snowsuits, hats, mittens. For every type we open the brand's own site, pick one real product as the example, and write down its name, regular price, sizes and fabric the way the brand states them. For example, its outerwear example is the Engel Baby 100% Wool Hooded Jacket with Wooden Buttons at $76.95; its snowsuits example is the Baby 100% Merino Wool Fleece Hooded Suit; its hats example is the Baby 100% Wool Fleece Hat. Each type name above links to a page where every brand that makes that piece is listed together, with its price tier, sizes and fabrics.

Engel Natur is sold through: US natural-fiber shops (e.g., Cheshire Horse). The brand's own site is engel-natur.de. We class Engel Natur as "boutique / indie", which describes the kind of company it is, not its quality. Every example on this page links straight to that product, so you land on the item and not on a search page. The prices we show are regular prices read on the day we checked. Stores run sales often, so the price at checkout can be lower than the one shown here. Stock and sizes change by season, and a print we link to may sell out; the same style usually comes back in a new color or print.

Most Engel Natur listings we checked give the size range as: 50/56, 62/68, 74/80, 86/92, 98/104 (European sizes); Prematures body also listed. Sizes differ by piece. The outerwear example is listed in 3-6 Months (62/68 cm), 6-12 Months (74/80 cm), 1-2 Years (86/92 cm), 2-3 Years (98/104 cm), 3-4 Years (110/116. Baby sizes are not standard from brand to brand. Two brands can put the same age on the label and cut the garment to different weights and lengths, and some brands size by height in centimeters instead of by months. Go by Engel Natur's own size chart, which gives the weight and length each size is made for, and compare it with your baby's current measurements instead of age alone. We do not test fit, so we do not say whether a brand runs small or large.

The fabrics Engel Natur names most often on the listings we checked: 70% virgin wool, 30% silk, fine rib (merino wool and silk bodysuit); organic cotton items also listed. On the product pages, the outerwear example lists "100% virgin wool". Engel Natur states GOTS certification on at least one product we checked. A certificate covers the specific product or fabric it is issued for, so look for it on the page of the item you are buying. Where we show "organic", that is the brand's own wording. Fabric can change between styles and seasons, so read the fiber content on the product page before you buy.

The Engel Natur example with a checked price is the Engel Baby 100% Wool Hooded Jacket with Wooden Buttons, at a regular price of $76.95. We place Engel Natur in the mid-range to premium tier. The tier compares a brand's regular prices with the other brands we list; it is not a judgment of quality. A regular price is the full price the brand lists. We never record a sale price, because sales start and end without notice and would make brands look cheaper or dearer than they usually are. The "Where Engel Natur prices sit" section on this page shows each priced example against the same piece from every other brand we list.

German family business selling baby bodysuits, shirts, cardigans and pants in merino wool and silk or organic cotton, with a prematures size. Engel Natur is based in Germany. We class it as "boutique / indie". Where a company is based is not the same as where its clothes are made. We do not label any brand as made in a particular country unless the brand states it for the product.
