Where to buy non-polyester trousers for boys ?

I have noticed that many retailers sell boys trousers made from at least 65% polyester and the rest is from viscose or cotton. I am not being picky but I would love my boy to wear trousers having higher percentage of natural materials. Where do I buy them? He is going to be 5 this autumn. Many thanks!

Bought the Asda PE cotton shorts today. Even though my ds is going to be 5 in a few months the shorts size 3-4 years are still are very ok, not tight at all. They did not have any shorts in size 4-5 but I guess they would be too big in the waistline.

DD is 5 and has been wearing the 3-4 size for all of reception and I suspect they will do her for yr1 as well. They are quite roomy

M and M are selling off trutex fairtrade shirts and trousers (cotton) for £4.99! If you order 3 packs of shirts they are £10. Trousers same as School Uniform Shop was selling. I have ordered them for the next 3 years. I think they are selling up the last of the stock. Thomas Moore has also got some left, but not all sizes now. They are a bit more expensive. Hope you can get a bargain.

Just opened this website for the first time and found these nice trousers, grey colour,textured canvas belted dress pants ££5.99 They look like they could pass for the grey uniform trousers. Has anyone bought anything from this shop?

I have a few Pumpkin Patch bits and pieces, which are fine. I bought them off Ebay though, so I've no idea how recent they are, or how Pumpkin Patch are to deal with.

Minny, thanks for that, no girl's grey though. But M&M is a good site for bargains.

Im not sure if any of you are still looking for cotton clothes. I have found this company very useful.

Hope this helps

Can't seem to access the Lint kids website, not sure if it's my phone. I bought from them about 3yrs ago and the quality was awful, really stiff cotton, that washed badly. Have you bought from them recently?

Things aren't good for cotton uniform this yr, Marks seem to have no cotton skirts, trousers or pinis in their skinkind range, unless they just aren't in the catalogue. Haven't checked Tesco yet.
