One of the things I have always loved about attending private school is that we had to wear uniforms. Yes, I know that makes me sound crazy; but I didn't grow up in a family where there was a lot of extra money left over for new outfits. Wearing a uniform was easy and affordable.
Now, my sons go to private school; and yes, there is a dress code. They wear blue shorts or pants and a white polo-style shirt. Now, you may think that because I have all boys and they are boys, that clothing wouldn't be a concern. While it is nice to be able to pass clothing down from one to the other because they generally don't care; it has been tricky when it comes to uniforms.
For the longest time, my oldest two sons were a slim and a husky. When my third son started school, I had no regular pants for him, so I had to buy new. The pants that I could use again were so faded or had holes in the knees (again, boys), that I had to buy new ones anyway.
And let's talk white shirts. It may seem that I could just bleach away any stains and reuse shirts ad nauseum, but it doesn't work that way. Grass stains and marker and pencil and pen and the school's spaghetti sauce and chocolate milk (seriously, why do schools even offer chocolate milk?) were causing the shirts to become a dull shade of gray rather than the bright white I'd be proud to have them wear.
Trips to bargain stores for inexpensive polos and pants were just yielding more trips the next year. The clothing didn't hold up well, and the husky sizes for my second son didn't quite fit him like I'd hoped.
Then, someone told me about FrenchToast.com, and now I never stress about school clothes for my boys. Their motto is "comfort that lasts," and they are not kidding about that. Just this morning, one of my sons actually changed the shirt he was wearing because he saw that I had washed his French Toast shirts. "Mom, I like the soft ones better." You can't argue with that. Plus, they hold their shape better than some of the other brands - even expensive on-line retailers.

| Both shirts are the same size in husky, yet the French Toast shirt has held its shape and color much better. |
A husky shirt shouldn't shrink that much in length - it will never cover what it needs to cover. His French Toast shirts are soft and retain their shape. He will pick them first over all the other shirts in his closet.
Plus, they offer, regular, slim, and husky sizing. Their pants come in adjustable waist and pull-on styles (important for my preschooler who wears a uniform as well), and the girls' styles have several offerings - skinny stretch, pleated, jegging, Bermuda, boot-cut, and so much more!
