Since the infants' skin is very weak and has poor adaptability to environment, they are vulnerable to dermatitis by chemicals. Organic cotton for baby wear with the same functions in inner and outer wears can be considered the most suitable fiber. Therefore, this study was to analyze products and colors of domestic and Japanese baby wear brands which use organic cotton. Of total six organic brands for baby wear, there are three domestic baby wear brands and three Japanese brands, and design colors of total 213 items were examined on the web. The results of comparative analysis showed that there were more Japanese brands than domestic brand in designs by uses. Color analysis showed that natural cotton color was preferred and YR colors are commonly used, but the colors of Japanese brands were widely distributed and those of domestic brands were relatively narrow.
