Uniform size

School uniform sizing can often differ from standard kids clothing sizes as uniform is usually categorised by body measurements instead of age. Finding the right size can be tricky as kids measurements change throughout the year. As our products are true to size, we do not recommend sizing down for school uniform. However, a great tip for getting a bit of extra wear out of kids’ school uniform is sizing up by one or two sizes. This gives kids’ nice room to grow but ensures they won’t be wearing anything too oversized.
We recommend using body measurements instead of a child’s age to find the correct kids clothing size,
we’ve found this is the most accurate way to find school uniform sizes. Using body measures also allows you to order with confidence instead of having multiple sizes to try.
Parents often ask, how do I measure my child at home?And it’s rather simple because we use seven key measurements for our uniform sizing. Below is each measurement and how to measure this on your child.
The school blazer is a core piece of secondary school uniform, it’s the item our children probably wear to school most often so getting the right blazer size is key. A school blazer should fit well with room for movement, ensuring a shirt and school jumper can be worn comfortably underneath. We factored this in when designing our school blazers, so they fit true to size and accommodate clothing underneath.

When measuring your child for a school shirt remember that boys’ sizes are given in collar size. To measure the collar, place your tape measure around the base of the neck where the collar would sit. Our size chart also gives chest measurements for boys and girls shirts. To find the chest size, measure around the fullest part of the chest making sure the tape is level under the arms and across the shoulder blades.

Kids school trousers use two measurements to determine clothing size, these are waist and inside leg. To measure the waist, measure around the waist at the natural waistline which is usually the smallest part. In younger children this tends to be midway between the bottom rib and the hip bone.
Kids school trousers use two measurements to determine clothing size, these are waist and inside leg. To measure the waist, measure around the waist at the natural waistline which is usually the smallest part. In younger children this tends to be midway between the bottom rib and the hip bone.
When shopping our range of school trousers, you’ll notice we offer different leg lengths to ensure there are options for all kids. Our trouser lengths are small (S), regular (R ), long (L), extra long (XL), and extra extra long (XXL). To find the ideal length of trousers use the inside leg measurement. When measuring the inside leg make sure your child is stood up straight, with shoes on. Measure from the top of the leg, inside near to the crotch area down to where you would like the trouser to fit. School trousers usually sit an inch or so from the floor if this seems too long it can of course be adjusted to a comfortable length.
