School uniform that won't go bobbly? Cotton?

My ds is starting reception in September. We normally wear natural fabrics. No medical needs like eczema, but worried that cotton/acrylic or cotton/polyester blends will bobble?

Any recommendations as to which brands don't bobble? Or would it be better to go for cotton? We need sweater, polo t-shirts, trousers.

I'd prefer pull-up trousers so that it's easy for him to dress himself for PE etc.

I get DS uniform from M&S and it's his 2nd year wearing it, pull up trousers and the jumper hasn't gone bobbly.

Sainsburys 100% cotton polo shirts are excellent quality and they wash really well. My eczema prone son has never had a problem with them. 2 x 3-packs gives you enough for the week and a spare.

Normal school uniform polos and cardis dont bobble and wash and wear well.

Thank you so much! Very helpful replies. So, essentially I needn't worry as they don't bobble anyway. But I will definitely try the Sainsbury's cotton t-shirts!

I bought cotton summer dresses one year (I know, not directly relevant!) but gosh did they need ironing.... I've returned to the polywhatever/tefloned stuff as it just doesnt need ironing and lasts better....
