For the last three years Tesco has gifted us school uniform for the boys. Â I am eternally grateful for this uniform and I am more than happy to recommend it to anyone who asks. Â My boys are hard on their uniform. Â Mini especially is just noise with muck on and the uniform gets washed and worn everyday.
The boys in their uniform LAST YEAR
I am a big fan of generic sweatshirts, they are great value and the boys love the fact that our local embroiderer puts the school badge on them for £2 an item, which means they cost me less than 50% of one bought direct from the school.
I think that good uniform needs to stand the test of time, be a good price point and also fit well and Tesco seem to have hit all these points for us this year.
Plus points:
- Adjustable waists – This is essential for my boys, who seem to thin out every time they grow!
- Hardwearing – Football every lunchtime on a MUGA really takes it out of the knees of trousers. Â Tesco’s have survived year on year
- Shirts that stay white when washed – Maxi is a shirt boy
- Do not shrink – polo shirts and sweatshirts that do not shrink when washed. Â Mini wears polo shirts
- An embroidery service (if your school is registered)
- A good selection of styles
- Trouser that keep their crease when washed
- Shirts that do not need ironing when dried on the line or in the tumble dryer
- collars on polo shirts remain white and do not go grey compared to the rest of the shirts
The Mad House give school uniform by Florence and Fred at Tesco a HUGE thumbs up.
Whilst we are talking about school uniform, I am always on the lookout for anything that makes my life easier and I have to say that I have found the quickest and easiest way to label the boys uniform this year. Â In previous years I have just used a laundry pen and wrote their names on but STAMPtastic is even faster than writing! Â In fact It didn’t take me any time at all, as they boys did their own uniform.
