Long Sleeve White T's.

Really need to get some long sleeve white t shirt's for DS who is 3 in August. Can't seem to get hold of any. Have looked in Hennes, all short sleeved or colours, none in Gap or John Lewis. They are useful in this weather when it's to cold for just t-shirts. Any thoughts?

Pretty sure they do them in Tesco.

jojo28 · 08/04/2005 00:12

Thanks blodwen will check Tesco's out.

hi jojo28 - in our local tescos they do long sleeve t-shirts in plain colours in the value range (about £1.25 each) and i'm pretty dure that they do white.
otherwise gap, but they are far more expensive about £9.

Boots do them as well.

jojo28 · 08/04/2005 14:16

I went to tescos today no clothes at all apart from babygrows etc. What kind of store am i looking for? Thought this one was quite a big one, obviously not! They don't do them online do they? Will try Boots, any one know a branch in London that does clothes? Looked in Gap couldn't find any, am I being dim...at this rate I would pay £9 as it would extend freezing sons wardrobe considerably!

If you haven't had any luck, I can get you some in our Tesco (am in there a couple of times a week) and post them to you. No trouble. Let me know.

breeze · 10/04/2005 17:54

Definately tesco's have them. Well ours does anyway

I am going to Tesco tomorrow afternoon. How many would you like? Your ds is nearly 3? Is he big, small or average for his age?

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:00

Hi blodwen my ds is almost 3 and that is the size i would buy him in Gap, even though he is quite petite I'd rather they come up large - if possible could you get me about 4. Shall I send the money by cheque - tell me what's best.

jojo28 - FYI, I got dd a long sleeved white tshirt at H&M on Oxford Street last week (Thursday). The shirt is basic, not girly, so should work for a boy too. Bought at the branch across from M&S Oxford Circus.

blodwen · 10/04/2005 22:12

I will get them tomorrow and CAT you for your address when I've got them and to tell you how much to make the cheque out for.

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:23

Blodwen you are a star, thanks alot for the kind offer will await the email, oh and if it's not too much trouble I'll have a shoulder of lamb some fairy liquid and a pack of brillo too.

Thanks for info. Earlybird, will check it out, any excuse to go to Oxford Street for a bit of a splurge! Just wondering do you know where the biggest branch of Boots is in London? My Mum has a huge one in Brighton with children's clothes but I can't think of one in central, London they are all quite small.

jojo28 - I haven't been to it lately, but there was a fairly large Boots on upper Regent Street (east side of the street, north of Oxford Circus), and a decent sized one on the King's Road. Other than that, the ones I know about are fairly small. I have never seen a Boots with kid's clothes in London...or anywhere! Expect that London rents would make it prohibitive for them to rent that sort of space.

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:45

Good to know my retail knowledge is still pretty current! Probably right the rents make it too expensive - hasn't stopped Starbucks from taking over the High Street though, I was on Upper Street in Islington today and counted 4! Still waiting for ours in Kentish Town though ! OK for betting shops though .

an enormous new boots is opening soon near bond st tube. massive. hopefully will have clothes.

jojo28 · 10/04/2005 22:54

Ohhh that's what's been going on... bloody hell that's going to be the kiss of death for me and my wallet. Always seem to be able to spend alot of money in those big Boots on I don't know what. My Mums one in Brighton has a fantastic make up department and toy's.

There used to be a large Boots on Kensington High Street but it's about 4 years since I was there so it might have gone!

blodwen · 11/04/2005 18:21

Sorry JoJo28 - I went to Tesco and they've all gone! Only short-sleeved and vest ones now for the summer! Good luck with your search anyway.

jojo28 · 11/04/2005 18:40

Thanks blodwen - I'm sure I will find some, thanks for trying.

jojo - where in London are you? The Boots stores that sell clothes in my next of the woods are Bluewater (Greenhithe), Lakeside (Thurrock). Crayford, Charlton.

Hopefully, spring is sprung so you might get away with short sleeved ones now!

KBear · 11/04/2005 18:46

meant "neck of the woods" of course!

jojo28 · 11/04/2005 22:12

I am in North London - this is so annoying I got some great ones last year from Hennes... proper t-shirts as well not underwear ones, you know? What makes me laugh is you can now get loads of those t-shirts that look as though they are short sleeved t's over longed sleeve white ones but you can't just get a bloody white one so you can put your own one over! . Gap do do white ones for older boys a 'layering t' they call it but they don't do them for under 4's... some of you are surely thinking 'get a life' by now so I will shut up!!
