Where can I get grey corduroy boys' school trousers?

Am I the only person who hates the 'Teflon' style school trousers?

Last year I bought ds some grey cord ones from John Lewis, but they're now too small and JS aren't doing them this year. Where can I get plain grey corduroy trousers suitable for school (primary), ideally online?

Thanks in advance, knowledgeable mners!

Sorry, I'm not going to be much help here but I have the same dilemma! Recently posted a thread about it and someone recommended Childrens Warehouse and Next but neither do grey - well, not without extra cargo style pockets, zips etc...
Ds starts school next week and this is my first venture with school uniform. Checked with the school that cords were ok but just can't find any... except at Mothercare (£10). How old is your ds? My ds is 4 so their sizes were ok for him. That said they are not the nicest trousers I have seen...
Hate the Teflon ones - don't see why he needs chemicals in his trousers! Also, cords look much nicer, wear better and will be warmer in the winter!
Sorry I cannot provide any better info. I hope somebody else comes up trumps (I will be watching...!)

These ones from the Children's Warehouse look pretty good to me.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Ooh, are you looking at the charcoal ones? I didn't see those when I looked at the catalogue - maybe they're just on the internet. I requested said catalogue which came in about two days and had an introductory offer of 10% off when you spend over £60 before 30.09.04 (offer code CRA401) if that's any help! I don't actually intend to spend that much (I don't think) but you never know!
Thanks for the link!

Ds needs a duffel coat too, so I may well be spending that much. But I'm going to wait for the real catalogue to arrive to get a better look at the pictures. Don't think much of the graphics on the website.
