Best Navy Uniform

kilco

Hi Everyone,
My eldest ds is off to school in Sept and I was wondering where to get the best uniform that washes well ,dries quick etc and preferably no ironing. I like tesco kids clothes in general and find them a good fit but what are the uniforms like?? And also can't keep runners(cheap ones from dunnes etc) with him are the clarks etc worth the extra money. Thanks in advance for help.

I have to say I find the Irish Deerpark jumpers excellent in terms of washing, colours, and wear, but you can't iron them or they will lose their shape. You don't need to iron them though. They last alot longer than the Tesco or Dunnes ones from my experience as well. Although they are dearer at approximately 16 - 18 euro, for an item of clothing a child is wearing day in, day out for 9 months of the year, its well worth it. They also have wool in them so they keep the kids warm in the winter.

In regards for trousers, Skippy do school trousers that are brilliant, they wear extremely well and they keep the kids warm in the winter as well. Again they are dearer then the Tesco/Dunnes brands, think around 16euro.

Hope that helps!

Clarkes runners are definitely worth the extra money. When I was trying to economise and buy cheaper runners (€16) from Dunnes or Shoe Zone they would last the best part of three/four weeks before falling apart. Clarkes last a good two terms.
