School uniforms that survive the whole school year
A school uniform is worn five days a week, washed at least as often, and handed down or replaced as children grow. That is a hard life for any garment, so we build school ranges around durability and easy care rather than the lowest unit price.
We supply public and private schools, uniform retailers and online sellers — from a single crest-embroidered blazer to a full head-to-toe range shipped by size breakdown.
What a school uniform range includes
We can make the whole list, in matching colours and fabrics, so a set actually looks like a set:
- Shirts and blouses — short and long sleeve, easy-iron.
- Polo shirts and sports wear — for PE and summer terms.
- Jumpers, sweaters and cardigans — fine-gauge knitwear in school colours.
- Trousers, skirts, kilts, dresses and pinafores.
- Blazers and jackets — including stain-resistant outerwear.
- Accessories — ties, socks, hats and PE bags.
Fabrics chosen for repeated washing
Colour fastness, shrinkage and pilling are what make a school uniform look tired after one term. We specify the fabric to avoid all three:
- Stain-resistant finishes on jackets and blazers, so spills wipe off instead of setting.
- Easy-care, non-iron shirtings that come out of the dryer ready to wear.
- Anti-pilling knitwear, so jumpers still look new after a year of washing.
- Pre-shrunk cotton and poly-cotton blends, tested so the size you approve is the size that arrives.
Tell us how the school launders its uniforms and we will match the finish to it.
Sizing that grows with the class
Children change size between order and delivery, so a school range lives or dies on the size chart. We work from a full children’s size range, accept a mixed size breakdown inside one order, and can build the chart around your own sample measurements so parents get a consistent fit year after year. Send a measurement sheet or your existing size chart and we will confirm it before production.
Crests, badges and school colours
Crests and house colours are what make a uniform belong to a school. We can apply an embroidered crest, a woven badge or printed branding, and match the trims — ties, piping, collar edging — to your school colours. Send us the artwork, or a clear photo of the existing crest, and we will match it. The techniques we offer are listed under our embroidery options.
MOQ, samples and lead time
School uniforms start at 100 pieces per style and colour, which suits a single-year intake as well as a full-school roll-out. We make a sample first so you can check fabric, fit, colour and finishing before you commit, and we reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for school uniforms?
100 pieces per style and colour. Mixed sizes inside that quantity are fine.
Can you match our school colours?
Yes — send a Pantone reference or a swatch of the existing uniform and we will dye to match, then confirm with a sample.
Can you copy our existing crest?
Yes. Send the artwork file or a sharp photo of the crest and we will reproduce it as embroidery or a woven badge.
Do you provide samples before bulk production?
Yes. We make a sample first and move to bulk production only after you approve it.
