My 13-year-old son has very very sensitive skin, and it usually isn't a problem, but we're going to a big family bash and he'll need to wear a suit and tie from 9AM to night. Bar/bas/bat? mitzvah, memorial service, pictures, and then the big party at the country club.

How can I find something comfortable for him to wear?? He's allergic to wool, he can't wear tags or anything tight around his neck (like seams) or he'll break out in hives and then pass out from his asthma.

There are tons of polyester (or silk etc) suits, but what the heck do we do for a shirt?? Do they still make silk turtlenecks?

Desparate! Any suggestions?

He sounds like a future AT member... .there's practically no one on these forums who doesn't have any wierd dieseases or disorders.... Someone who passes out from wearing a necktie seems to fit.
