Can anyone suggest where we could buy cotton boys school uniform shorts please? They need to be like proper uniform shorts but cotton, rather than the polyester/nylon that is sold in supermarkets etc. Not PE jersey shorts either.
All I can find online is ones by the Eczema society and Ecooutfitters which are pricey at £16-18+ each.
DS(7) doesn’t cope well in the heat and with the temps due to reach 30 deg this week where we live I wondered if you can get cotton shorts, rather than the stifling polyester ones which are standard.
It annoys me that girls can wear cotton gingham dresses/pantsuits but all boys can wear is polyester rubbish. With more extreme weather inevitable, and we are seeing this already with heatwaves most summers, why aren’t schools looking at uniform requirements and what they are made of. Why can’t boys like mine wear dark grey cotton jersey shorts (like PE shorts) if they wish when it’s really hot? The jersey is budget-friendly and likely to be more cool and comfortable in the heat. Our school just had a uniform survey and I added this comment but DH, who works in education, said it will be laughed out of the office 🙁
