Nununu Mousy Control Freak Pants Features
Exterior Features
Just like most Nununu styles, the Mousy Control Freak Pants offer a cartoony yet minimalistic print.
The fit is baggy with tapered legs—slight drop crotch style (Zouave, harem, or hammer pants).
The waistline is elasticized with a cream self-tie string. The elastic is pretty tight and the tie DOES work to tighten the waist. The tie is a flat, woven cotton fabric similar to a shoelace.
Two, slit pockets at each side of the hips are a must-have for kids. You know, to store all the treasures they find at school or the playground.
The front of the right leg has a “NO!” spray paint-style graphic. There is also a Nununu logo yellow patch which highlights the Nununu philosophy and motto.
The front of the left leg has the Mousy Control Freak graphic. The mouse is reminiscent of Mickey Mouse but with an edgy twist. The Control Freak lettering is bold.
Further down the left leg, there is a small “Nununu” logo tab.
The back of the pants is just plain black cotton. No pockets and no graphics.
The bottom features a thick but slightly loose banding around the ankles for a jogger style.
Interior Features
The interior fabric is a cotton terry with fluffy loops. The interior is not lined but the cotton is soft and feels nice against even the most sensitive skin.
The size tag is created from a sewn-on cream-colored patch. This patch is located near the elastic waistband at the interior back of the sweatpants. It has the size along with the Nununu logo and website URL. There is also a neon yellow loop near it – perhaps to hang the pants on a hook or just decorative. I’m not sure why it’s there actually. The price tag was looped through that neon loop when we purchased the sweats.
The other feature of the interior is just the made-in, fabric, and care tag. These were made in Portugal out of 100% Grade A Cotton. Nununu is based out of Tel Aviv, Israel. The care instructions are to put the garment in the washing machine and tumble dry on low.
Nununu Mousy Sweat Pants Measurements, Fit & Fabric
Measurements and Sizing
This is the official size chart on the Nununu website for kids’ measurements in inches.
The measurements of these exact sweatpants are as follows. All measurements are approximate and were taken with the pants lying flat.
Size: 6 / 7 (Little kids sizing for 6 to 7-year-olds. My son wore these when he was 6 to 7 years old). My son is very slender and tall for his age so the waist was always slightly too baggy but the length was perfect until he was just over 7 years old, the waist was still too baggy and the length was just a hair too short.
Waist: 10″ unstretched/without using the tie. Can stretch up to 12″ or so.
Outseam (from waist to hem): 28.5″
Inseam: 18″
Rise (keep in mind this is a drop crotch style that can be worn high or low on the waist): 12″
Fit and Style
One of the most popular styles from Nununu. These come in so many prints and colors season after season. Slouchy with plenty of room for freedom to run, play, and move around.
The waist can be worn higher or lower which will increase or decrease how baggy these are.
These lounge pants are loose on top and taper down as you approach the ankles.
Nununu Mousy Control Freak Pants Wear and Tear
These sweats are created from a true black cotton fabric. This means that the always hated, never avoided, FUZZIES appear after wearing and washing.
EVERY light-colored fuzz sticks to these BUT they are easy to rejuvenate using a fuzz/lint roller.
Keep clothing in great shape season after season with a great detergent! I fell in love with Dropps laundry pods and haven’t looked back. It is very safe and clean, good for the environment, us, and your laundry AND it actually CLEANS! If you would like to give it a try, use my referral link to save up to 30% here.
To reduce wear and tear from washing and drying. I ALWAYS line-dry clothing on a dry rack either hidden away in my dining room or kitchen or outside on the back patio. Line drying can increase the longevity of your garments and save you money on electricity and gas.
Nununu Mousy Control Freak Pants Purchase Price & Place, Resale Value
I purchased these on the official Nununu website. The regular price was $68 (in 2022) but these were on sale for $49 (purchased in October 2022).
The invoice states these were called: “French Terry Mousy Baggy Pants”
Item: 512266
SKU: NU3216BL
This brand sells fairly quickly on secondhand markets if priced correctly. I will be pricing them at around $30 + shipping (which will net me about $25). We will see how that goes, I will update this post once they sell and share what I earned, how long they were for sale, and which venue they sold on.
