Cai: Yep, I mentioned that about blue being feminine, pink being masculine in BW's thread. Interesting how colour symbolism isn't set in stone... how it fluctuates... that it's interpretation is a product of culture, time and place.
Remember how horrified most of 'us' (Australians of the 1980's) were that Lindy Chamberlain chose to dress her DD in black...
Bron: Yes! Fantastic quality! I scour second hand shops for un-used or little used Start-Rite sandals!

I haven't had a son to dress for very long, but apart from refusing to put him in a frilly dress, I can honestly say that what I want to dress him in doesn't appear to be particularly "masculine" as it's impossible to find in stores.
Where are the bright colours for baby boys? I'd love to dress him in red and yellow as well as blue, but instead I can only find drab brown, green and grey. Dark, sombre colours with slogans splashed all over them. Dispense with the slogans and give me plain, bright-coloured clothing, dammit!
Obviously, Sam's a little too young to be expressing any obvious preference for clothing... but he is currently wearing a jump suit with pale blue, orange and green stripes which others have considered to be horridly girly, but I think the colours suit him!
I don't think it would worry me too much if Sam wanted to wear a pink shirt when he's older... I think the skirts and dresses would, though... However, if someone were to give us a kilt in DH's family tartan, he may just get dressed in it!
