F&F has asked us to find 100 MNers to test out their F&F schoolwear range with their DC and provide feedback.

Here's what F&F say about their range, "Every year we work tirelessly to improve on our schoolwear range, to ensure you get even better value for money and higher quality compared to the previous year. To enable us to do this we rely heavily on the feedback from all of you - the mums! This year, we have some new key features that we’re really excited to share with you and look forward to hearing your thoughts ”.

We're looking for English and Welsh Mumsnetters, who have at least one child of school age who wears school uniform, to put the range to the test before the new term starts. If you are selected, you will be sent £50 worth of Tesco online vouchers*. We'd like you to use this to buy items, including a few specific items which testers will be sent a list of, from the F&F back to school range.

Delivery charges aren't included in the e-coupons, however there is the option to 'Click + Collect' which delivers your order to your nearby Tesco, free of charge, by the next day if you place your order by 3pm. We are aware that the summer holidays are fast approaching so we're looking for Mumsnetters who are available to carry out this product test as soon as possible.

Once you have had a chance to purchase a few items and kit your DCs out in a new uniform we'll ask you to get your LOs to put it through its paces and for you to give it a couple of washes before adding your feedback to a thread on MN.

If you're interested in taking part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

NB: You will receive 1x£50 vouchers, to redeem the voucher you will need to spend the full value, or more.

Form filled in, great idea my children have grown, I too was holding out

Spookily, I was just about to checkout a school clothes order from F&F but have forgotten my password & the reminder has not arrived by e-mail. Fingers crossed.

Yes please!

I just sent back a load of F&F polo shirts and joggers that I had bought for September.

The sizing if the polos was small (I ordered a size bigger than they have this year but they appeared to be the same size) and the joggers were a terrible fit.

We'll be shopping elsewhere for new uniform this year. Thanks, but no thanks.

DoItTooJulia · 07/07/2014 22:00

Done here too! Fingers crossed!

ScarlettDragon · 07/07/2014 22:23

Helspopje · 07/07/2014 22:41

i do hope they'll get more stock in though as pretty much everything I want is sold out in the size!

I was lucky enough to have done this test last year. It will be interesting to see if any of the feedback given by any of us was taken on board...

We've noticed that a few of you are slightly sceptical about the timing of the product test. F&F would like to reassure you that the rationale behind the timing is that they know that parents will be looking to buy new school uniform for their children for the start of the next school year soon and therefore have chosen this time to ask for feedback on their schoolwear range.

Survey Closed it would seem...

FatalCabbage · 08/07/2014 13:27

Lots of us are planning our uniform shopping if not actually doing any yet.

But we would ordinarily not let the DC ruin wear anyof it until September Wink Grin

BlackeyedSusan · 09/07/2014 00:30

when are they emailing out the vouchers and when would one have to spend them by? I think it was on the survey but now the info has disappeared.

FatalCabbage · 09/07/2014 08:15

11th, I think, for issue. Would have assumed one would need to order immediately to have any hope of wearing before the end of term.

Hope I get on and that they have navy polo shirts...

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 09/07/2014 11:13
