Jerzees Schoolgear, the dedicated schoolwear brand from Russell Europe, has garments for most scholastic occasions.

The 875B reversible jacket (available in six colours) with funky high visibility stripes on both sides remains popular, and is ideal for decoration with access across the entire bottom hem.

Fruit of The Loom's polos, sweats and jackets  have been the mainstay of many a school uniform and are matched by a Full Zip Outdoor Fleece in five core colours, and new for 2008, the full zip Sweat Jacket in four core colours.

Unique to UKL, the Tufftex brand offers a range of polo shirts (HF50 / HF51) in adult and children's sizes. All are manufactured from hardwearing 65/35 polyester cotton with a stain resistant coating and are available in nine colours.

Child traffic safety is now a bigger issue than ever, and to respond to this growing concern and the increasing popularity of walking busses and other "walk to school" schemes, the outerwear specialist Result has two hi-viz garments in its range of children's jackets and fleeces. The R212J is a pull on tabard and the R21J is a vest style. Both feature high viz tape, ideal for dark winter mornings, and conform to EN1150. All Result children's jackets feature reflective details for added safety.

Retail specialist Regatta also has a huge range of coats, jackets and waterproofs designed for the schools market, including the KW943 / KW944 Children's Packaway Jacket and Overtrousers. These are "mini-me" versions of its adult garments, but featuring high visibility strips on the jacket pockets, and both are supplied with mesh stuff bags. Also new for 2008 is the TRF542 Children's Thor Fleece, a child size version of one of its most popular adult styles, available in five core colours.

Exclusive to UKL, Phase One was created to meet the demand of schools and clubs that needed a range of matching sports and training wear in both children's and adult sizes. From its inception, Phase One has been one of the most popular choices for schools and clubs, says UKL. The recent addition of the Phase One Performance range has allowed the brand to move to the next level by offering professional standard fabric technology combined with excellent styling.

Popular with parents and children are the PH66/PH66B Performance Training Polos with contrast trim and the PH65/PH65B Poly Mesh T. Available in black/red and navy/white, children love the look of these shirts, and adults love the feel and the quick dry properties of the material, says UKL. The range includes shirts, tops, track suits, shorts, skirts and socks.
