ALLERGY TO CLOTHING/BABY CLOTHES: OUTWEAR AND FOOTWEAR
Posted on Monday, March 30th, 2009 at 6:41 amOuterwear
Tracking down outerwear or snowsuits that are not of man-made fibre or of polycotton mixes is virtually impossible. It is occasionally possible to find corduroy snowsuits, anoraks and leggings with brushed cotton linings. These still have polyester wadding, but since these are enclosed by 100 per cent cotton, they cause less problems. Heskia produce a range of such outerwear. Their clothes are sold by John Lewis and House of Fraser stores.
Footwear, Socks and Tights
Cotton corduroy boots and padders in 100% cotton are made by many firms and are easy to find. Pex make 100 per cent cotton socks in newborn and baby sizes. These are widely available in children’s shops and large supermarkets. Hundred per cent cotton tights in baby sizes are sold by mail order by Cotton On and by Schmidt Natural Clothing.
Cotton On’s range is specifically designed and chosen for babies with eczema and skin conditions. Their clothes are formaldehyde-free, chlorine bleach-free and do not use other well-known irritants. Cot’n Kids, Fix and Schmidt Natural Clothing also sell formaldehyde-free and chlorine-free clothing. The Green Catalogue sell unbleached cotton underwear. Schmidt Natural Clothing sell silk, silk blend, wool and wool blend clothing.
The large mail-order catalogues companies (such as Littlewoods, Freemans, You and Yours, Grattan) also often sell a selection of cotton jersey sleepsuits and underwear.
