I hate those shiny PE shorts - where can I get black cotton ones ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

They are vile - I'm sure you get electric shocks from them. M &S used to do plain cotton ones in black,as did Woollies, but no sign of them so far.

next do some rugby ones

Have just linked to some on this thread. Don't think they are 100% coton though, but they are certainly not like those awful shiney ones.

[Lilymaid]

JL do polycotton shorts which are lighter than rugby shorts.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Diagon - have just thanked you for info about the Next shorts on nutcracker's link to another PE kit thread !

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Lilymaid - they'd be fine except that they're in navy only - thanbks though !

[foxinsocks]

you can get 100% cotton ones from M&S

they are on their website (and I've seen them)

[ptangyangkipperbang]

M and S. Jersey shorts. In black. 100% cotton. Only start at age 7.

[foxinsocks]

if you page through here - there are some on the bottom of the first page, look through for others

[MaryAnnSingleton]

thanks foxinsocks and ptangyang - they weren't there the last time I looked -about a month ago - hooray !!

[ptangyangkipperbang]

I tried to order some uniform instore at M and S yesterday and lots of things out of stock. Assistant said the big uniform launch is next week so stocks should increase. Bet they stop the 3 for 2 offer at the same time!

[Lilymaid]

JL also do them in black, royal blue, red and white etc but they are found under "boy's shorts" even though they are unisex!

[MaryAnnSingleton]

I think Sainsbury's had them before come to think of it - they should be doing a school uniform drive pretty soon !

icod - they're horrible !! He'll be cool in them,temperature wise not all sticky and acrylic !

[foxinsocks]

the boys wear the shiny ones in general (because they are like football shorts I guess)

most of the girls don't though (dd does for some reason - I'm not sure she's twigged that she's the only one with shinies yet )

don't iron the cotton ones anyway...he's never felt he's the odd one out in cotton ones so far and other boys have them
I also loathe and detest the football style trainers with laces up the side of the shoe - he doesn't have those either

Adams had them earlier in the year - not sure if they still do, but worth a look.
