Best brands for schoolwear 2014

[MooseyMoo]

DD is starting Reception in September and I've been looking at the school uniform threads on here but couldn't find a recent thread asking what brands people found the best (quality, cost, hard wearing)

Thanks

Glad to find this thread, was just about to start one!

Does anyone know which boys' trousers don't have buttons or zips, just pull up/ down? DS will be going into reception in September.

Did you manage to find any trousers mrsgrumpypants?

John Lewis have some girl and boy school shoes reduced - looks like current stock on Clarks site

Hi Moosey I found loads! BHS, Asda, Sainsburys all do elasticated pull up ones. My faves fit-wise are Sainsburys and BHS. Sainsburys also v good for nice pull up PE shorts

Great

I bought DD her school shoes from Brantano as they have 25% off. Got some Hush Puppies for her. Next step is labelling everything!

Ooh good idea! I haven't tackled school shoes yet.

I can't face sewing name labels so am looking at the stick on/ iron on ones

About to buy so this thread is great:) another vote for my nametags.com and use straighteners to iron them into everything:)
