I'm looking for something ds can wear to nursery as an alternative to his sweatshirts. He finds these really hard to get on and off. I was thinking of a cardi but the school ones look very girly to me. His friend wears one but I don't think ds would be convinced.

So then I thought of a sweatshirt with a zip, a hoodie actually!

In red.

I have looked at school section in next, matalan and george. (only online not instores)

GAP normally do something like this. Ds used to wear it - it's like a tracksuit top with a zip (iyswim). They normally have them in various plain colours (like red, blue etc.).

the Adams zippy cardigan here might do if you can swap off the flower zip tag

Oooh thanks guys, just seen these posts. I've been on the 3yr old girl thread
I'll have a look at the links now.

LIZS, yes but It should be plain really. Uniform is optional in nursery but he'll be in reception in sept.

Mrs B, Yes they're the sort. I knew you'd come on here to help!!

Foxinsocks yes sweatshirt material is what I was thinking of but Mrs Badgers Adams link would be good too if it wasn't for the pesky flower zip!

Dinosaur, I'll look at tesco.

Plain red cardigan on Vertbaudet ! here (variosu colours too)

MrsBadger · 04/05/2007 18:04

ooh, spot on LIZS, well done!

princessmel · 04/05/2007 18:33

Thanks LIZS. I've ordered it. It looks PERFECT.

Not as cheap as maybe from matalan etc but nicer probably. And no hood so smarter.

Thanks everyone.

Just got a hoody style one from Tesco for £3. Its sweatshirt material.

Prob wont be as nice quality as the £10 verbaudet one but he'll have both now.
