school uniform polo shirts

wilson1973

I am starting to look for blue school polo shirts for a 9 year old boy,does anyone have any advice with regards to quality between my 3 local vendors,I have Marks and Spencers, Tesco and a Sainsbury near me,I'm probably hoping to buy them in a 3 pack,and I'm wondering if quality differs greatly between any of these stores.
Any help much appreciated

School uniform is school uniform (as such). I don't think the quality varies greatly

I'd say out of your 3 options Sains has the best quality. Marks can be small made and don't wash greatly Sains are generous and thick (but obvs each new release of the product can be different). I picked up some school bits half price in my Sains last week they had blue polos in the offer I guess it's last yrs stock as they are bringing out all the new school bits now

They are also supposed to have a 2 uniforms for £10 offer on but I didn't see any details on it. With Sains I usually wait till they have a 25% off if it's not something I need desperately as these offers are frequent

Thanks,I had a feeling I had heard that Sainsburys have a decent reputation with their clothes and the TU range,I rang them today and they do 2 polo shirts for £4 for a 9 year old,which I think is good value

tbh i but the cheapest i can find and dont worry about the quality, because they are usually outgrown or stained, long before they start to fall apart.

i usually replace them every term as my kids are so messy and have paint/sauce stains down them from the very first wear

I agree about Sainsburys, I have picked some up in M&s and Tesco and found them a lot smaller than Sainsburys (a size smaller) Tesco I don't find their quality that great, the similaiar priced cheaper things at Sainsburys is much better.
Everything has washed really well - I have to wash ds's jumpers every day (he come shome covered in paint) and they have lasted the washes well

Sainsbury's are good quality but huge - I bought my DD soime unisex ones they were selling off 3 for £1 and they are massive. I bought 4 yrs 104cm but they seem much bigger than her M&S ones.
