School uniform

My DTD's have just started school and have to wear summer uniform until half term.
For their winter uniform they need long sleeved white blouses. I was planning to just buy these at half term but a comment on another thread mentioned that M&S don't stock school uniform year round. Is this the same for other retailers? I'd ideally like pure cotton due to DTD2's eczema so any suggestions of places to go would be good.
Do I need to buy them now??? Thanks

these are pure cotton and i'm pretty sure they are stocked all year round. re M and S, i think they do take their 'school uniform shop' out, but im pretty sure you will still be able to find the blouses.

uniform is available online year round. Most stores significantly reduce what is available in store after September to make way for Christmas stock.

for eczema, ecooutfitters is your best bet. m&s are a bit unrelizun what they have (we bulk buy whenever the skinkind range comes into stock)

Yes, sunita, I'm sure it does. But does it sell cotton shirts?

You know, the subject of this thread, which exists with a specific enquiry, not just as a platform for your spam.

m&S uniform is available online year-round. John Lewis (usually) keeps a uniform shop all year, but I have a nasty feeling they've been reducing the amount they keep in story (reduced profits, anyone? Removing a 'go for' item reduces your ready-to-spend footfall)

M&S does have uniform online all year round but I found the 100% cotton shirts difficult to get out of the "uniform buying season". Shirts was the one thing I bought every Summer, often a size up to make sure I had them available.

John Lewis are nice but quite stiff and DD complained that they are a bit scratchy, so it may not be the best if you have a child.with eczema.

Yeah M&S are a bit hit and miss during the year. We buy their slim fit stuff and if we don't get it when we see it then we have no chance as they only tend to do it over the summer holidays in my experience.

We found the M and S cotton shirts much better in the wash than the eco outfitters ones so my advice would be to stock up if you do get hold of them .
