Where is the best place to buy uniform with no teflon?

DD1 (6) needs new navy skirts and pinafores and I feel quite strongly about NOT getting ones with teflon coating. M & S usually do non-teflon stuff but they are sold out of quite a lot. Anyone know where else does it? I want to order online.

try John Lewis - not sure if school uniform is online but you could probably phone them up and they would be able to send in post.

What's the problem with teflon?

It's an unecessary chemical and I'm quite keen to keep the DDs exposure to chemicals as low as possible. See article here

On looking further, there are a few places which do schoolwear without Teflon - Clean Slate Clothing and some of the brands on Greenswear but it's quite difficult to find, particularly in navy for some reason which is what I need.
