DS has eczema and every year the search starts for cotton shorts. Now he is in the juniors he has to wear black and I'm finding impossible to find suitable cotton shorts .Have found dark grey but no black. Any advice apart from the specialist eczema shops?

Im sure M&S do cotton shorts in black. I had some. Do you mean the short trousers or PE shorts? school shorts

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 24/04/2013 21:59

sorry that is trousers, but you could have them shortened, if you cant find shorts.

Once found them in Matalan, but haven't seen them for aaages. M&S good for everything else in cotton.

MrsShrek3 · 24/04/2013 22:03

just thought. have you checked debenhams recently?

idonthaveone · 24/04/2013 22:06

Either sainsburys or asda both do black shorts

nobodysfool · 24/04/2013 22:13

MrsShrek3- check them but northing. Gah!

idonthaveone - been to Asda and looked online and can't find cotton ones?......Will have a look in Sainsburys (must be one of the only shops I haven't tried much to my husbands disgust).

Try John Lewis, I bought navy cotton ones from them, but not checked if they have black.

nobodysfool · 24/04/2013 22:20

LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops- thanks but only in Navy

BHS had black last year as I bought the wrong colour

nobodysfool · 27/04/2013 17:40

Nothing at BHS so far... and the black chinos are lovely but his school only allows 'tailored' shorts.ggrrr.Looks like I'm out of luck doesn't it.

At the risk of stating the obvious, can't you alter some too short school trousers?(or have them altered)

UncrushedParsley · 18/05/2014 19:31

Can you dye a pair? Or would that aggravate the excema?
