School Uniform Rant

I am busy gathering the elements of a school uniform for the script we are filming right now. The horrors of British school clothing include nylon blazers, electrifying skirts and polyester shirts, the shoes are appalling and when a modern effort has been made, the sweatshirts and polo tops are very poor quality - false economy I am sure.
This Goan Schoolboy we met a few years ago was charming in his outfit.
If the children must wear a uniform, surely schools could be more imaginative about it?
I dread shopping for the Little Fella's first day.
