I can find ladies
I can find mens

I can find hundreds of childrens

But ideally I'd like one range for all sizes

(cloud cuckoo land is where I live)

So where from?

btw I'm a cheap skate & I don't want to pay too much

american apparel probably but would maybe be too expensive

Uniqlo do a lot of fleeces in loads of colours. I don't know if they could help?

Thanks

Uniglo aren't giving purple as an option

American appareal have a nasty white zip down the middle (I guess that is stylish - but I don't like it)

Millets? I got a nice purple one last year.

There is a fab shop at Lakeside called Decathlon that sells fleeces cheaply has the same range for men, women and children. You can't order online though, so you would need to trek there.

I'm a little worried that you and your entire family are going to go round in matcing fleeces. Please tell me you and your family are not going to be going round in matching purple fleeces. Please?

No

Childminding

I will provide them for my staff (incl me & DH) to wear when out on duty & offer them to parents who want to buy them (no pressure)

Phew, that's ok then!

Agree about Decathlon btw...

Have you tried schoolwear suppliers like Fruit of the Loom for instance? Ds's school fleece is from here, the janitor has a school sweatshirt, so they must do adult sizes too.

I do think schoolwear suppliers will be your cheaper option though.

I can't remember where I was but I remember seeing purple checked dresses in an M & S somewhere, so it must be a colour for schools.

MrsBoo · 27/04/2009 17:21

surely the females wont want to wear the baggey unisex ones anyway?
I had difficulty getting decent purple ones a year or so.

MrsBoo · 27/04/2009 17:24

Henbury do nice microfleece mens or womens - but not kids

KatyMac · 27/04/2009 17:25

Maybe not but I do need all the same colour - so I don't know how to do it
