Boden?

I got a few pairs of basic navy ones from Asda last year, a little shorter than just above the knee, but very hard wearing canvas material and less than £2.

I got some in Sainbury's recently - their 'Tu' brand. They are just on the knee for my ds.

Unfortunately you need to find a big Sainsbury's which stocks clothes. I wonder if Tesco would do something similar?

Very good prices too btw.

Sainburys have navy ones for about 3 quid

I got some in Sainsburys too

I got some nice ones in Tesco - made from sweatshirt-type material. They came in a pack of two - light brown and blue.

Went to Matalan recently (Gap were closed ) and they've got a good selection of 'normal' shorts.

boden have nice cotton, elasticated waist ones. not at all trendy.

Aloha · 11/05/2007 19:49

Asda, Gap, Sainsbury's...so many places!

rabbleraiser · 11/05/2007 19:52

Yep, Sainsbury do a good range with no zips, etc. Gap (although great) tend to have zips, belts and buckles, but most of the supermarket ranges should oblige.

Next have some good ones this year, two-packs in green/brown and navy/cream. They are perhaps £9 for the two pairs. No frills - elastic waist - but that is perfect for my DS (5 but when you gotta go you gotta go)

Just bought a 2 pack from M&S for under a tenner (£7 I think), one navy and one beige - very nice. I'll try and do a link...here you go
