Schoolgear that ticks all the boxes

With an extensive range of quality garments for schools, from jackets and blazers to polos, knitwear and sweats, it’s no wonder the Jerzees Schoolgear collection from Russell, continues to score top marks with buyers for quality, value and choice.

Russell is so confident that its garments will stand up to the rigours of washing and wearing throughout a full school year, it offers its Schoolgear Pledge. This states the company will “replace any Jerzees Schoolgear garment purchased within the school year if it does not meet performance expectations (excluding decoration costs).”

When it’s time to go outside, Russell ensures pupils keep warm and dry with some of their best known jackets and fleece. Choose between three jackets and two outdoor fleece that collectively deliver on performance, style and comfort. The Reversible Jacket (875), Hydraplus 2000 (510) and Soft Shell (140), all feature a myriad of styling details which ensure they tick all the boxes with parents, teachers and children alike.

Take the Reversible Jacket, you have the option for a showerproof or fleece outer with reflective tape on both sides for safety. While the Hydraplus 2000 has a water repellent finish that is water resistant to 2000mm and taped seams for full weather protection.

Knitwear is another schoolwear staple and the Jerzees Schoolgear collection has four contemporary styles, comprising Boys Classic V-Neck Pullover (710M) and a Unisex Sleeveless Pullover (716M), as well as two styles specifically for girls; a V-Neck Pullover (710F) and a Lightweight Cardigan (715F). The fabric for all styles is 275gsm CottonBlend 50% cotton, 50% acrylic. Washable at 40°C and quick to dry, they are ideal as part of a more formal or casual uniform, worn with shirt and tie, open neck shirt or polo.

No school uniform range would be complete without sweats and Russell has a great range, including the Classic Sweatshirt (762) with crew neck, V-Neck Sweatshirt (272) and V-Neck Cardigan (273), which are all made with 50% combed ring spun cotton, 50% polyester for a soft hand feel. The Classic Sweatshirt even features Spotshield stain resistant coating for fabric protection.

Of course, when it comes to looking smart a blazer is key and the Jerzees Schoolgear Boys and Girls Classic Blazer (700) will look good week after week with its DuPont Teflon fabric coating. This fully lined blazer with super smart tailoring comes in an extensive size range (predominantly single inch sizing) and four core schoolwear colours. Attention to detail includes innovative embroidery access which still enables the pocket to be used.

Add all of these product features to the brand’s ethical credentials including Oeko-Tex and WRAP accreditations, and you have a school clothing range that definitely ticks all the boxes.
