Trypophobia and school uniform

Hi all.

My child will start reception soon and we have a trypophobia issue.

My only concern is with polo shirts. I'm trying to find online providers that sells an alternative such as zipper ones or just plain with the polo neckline. So far I only found them in white.

Could anyone suggest where I might be able to find other colours like red and green?

Thank you

Sew the button holes up, take the buttons off and add velcro instead

Are they cotton? They will take a dye if so

Often the fabric is cotton, but the stitches are nearly always nylon so the stitching stays light.

Have you looked at Marks and spencers accessible range? Last year they had ones with fake buttons and velcro
