Sorry for random title but didn't know how else to put it!
Basically DS starts reception in september and we're having a bit of a nightmare with the school logo'd jumpers. They cost £6 so not too expensive but the quality of them is awful. I've washed them 5 times now (I got 3 of them) and they still feel like cardboard. DS is quite a solid chap and I got size 28 as he needed it for lengh/width but the sleeves are massive and quite frankly look ridiculous.
He has sobbed every time he put them on because he says they hurt and tbh I actually think they probably do...they are so hard and there is so much material bunching up near his elbows that it must be really uncomfortable.
He's not worried about starting school really but this jumper thing is really upsetting him and I don't know what to do.
Obviously the school is shut now so can't ask but the website/book etc says boys must wear school sweatshirts and girls the school cardigans. I know they have no way of making the logo'd uniform compulsary but I presume seeing as it's relatively inexpensive and the only logo'd thing they have to have that most of the children would be wearing them.
He's quite a hot child so normally just wears long sleeved t-shirts or thin jumpers in the winter so this really thick jumper is going to be awful for him. My gut instinct is to get him some thin v-neck jumpers or some thinner sweatshirts but don't want him to look the odd one out and get teased for it.
Its a quite odd colour as well...a sort of dark royal blue and haven't even seen any jumpers anywhere that colour.
Any suggestions cause its really stressing me out!
