[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, so then all boys must tie their own ties, rather than clip ons?  I assume this to be true.  Just checking.

What about shoes - I've noticed many boys wearing running shoes.  I guess that's okay?

Finally, any tips on where to buy good quality boys' blazers?

Thanks.

Clip ons and zip ons are fine.  Athletic shoes usually.  At fhe opening Cathedral service, I notice that some C-form boys wear casual, dark, non-dressy shoes; however, athletic shoes are fine.

Blazers:  Maybe buy one new for special occasions.  For daily wear get a few pre-owned. Hopefully, the student exchange will return in September and you can buy a few there for $20.   The daily blue blazer goes through a lot.   The boys pull off their blazers while outside playing in the prison yard, it gets stepped on, balled up in the backpack, lunch gets on the sleeves, etc.  There's a shop in Bethesda with good quality blue blazers (maybe, someone will chime in with the name and address).  You can find some good deals on Ebay periodically for around $25.

Congratulations![/quote]
