    Next do really hard wearing uniform but it’s only available online.
    Haven’t tried the shirts yet as lo had to wear school issue polo shirt in infants so only now will be moving to big boy shirts. Trousers wash and wash and still look like new.

    I go on ebay and buy M&S shirts after getting tired of buying and replacing cheap supermarket shirts. I think I have actually saved money as they are still going strong, look very smart and are very easy to iron. I won't be buying another set this year, no need. The supermarket shirts quickly looked like grey rags in spite of washing on their own using good quality washing liquids. The fabric is much better quality.
