Questions buyers ask

Are half-zip tops warm enough to replace a jumper?

Yes. The 280 GSM brushed-back knit has a soft fleecy inside and a smooth face, so it works as a games midlayer and as an everyday uniform layer in place of a knitted jumper.

Can you add a thumb-hole cuff or a zip pocket?

Yes. Thumb-hole cuffs, a zip chest pocket and side pockets are common add-ons; tell us on your quote.

What is the MOQ for custom schoolwear?

The minimum order is 50 pieces per style. Kids and adult sizes can be mixed within the 50, and several styles — PE kits, polos, half-zips, hoodies, fleeces, shorts, skorts and bags — can ship together.

Do you make schoolwear with our crest and colours (OEM / private label)?

Yes. Every style is made to order in your school or house colours, Pantone matched, with your crest embroidered or printed and your own neck labels, hang tags and polybags. We work for schools directly and as a white-label maker for uniform suppliers.

What are your lead times for school uniforms?

Samples take 15–20 working days. Bulk takes 2–3 weeks after sample approval, plus shipping by air or sea — order 8–10 weeks before the start of term.
