My 12 year old has Tourette’s and associated sensory issues. He’s managed with M&S skin kind shirts since September but is now struggling with the way they feel.

Does anyone have recommendations for soft long sleeved school shirts that may be well tolerated?
Thanks

Can you request a reasonable adjustment to allow him to wear a polo shirt instead? That's what my DC does, with a long sleeve cotton t shirt underneath.

You could try John Lewis or EcoOutfitters’ cotton shirts.

Thanks @Headfirstintothewild am going to give the eco outfitters ones a try.

Thanks @SpaceInvader321 thats my back up option. Hoping I can find something that works though as keen to keep a balamce of adaptations and finding a way.

A thin long sleeve tshirt under a short sleeve shirt may help if the collar isn't a problem. You can also find long sleeve jersey polo shirts which may be acceptable - depends if they need a tie to go with them?
