Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to buy uniform?
We recommend purchasing your uniform before the 10th of January to help ensure we can supply the sizes you require. The Earlier the better.
While we do our very best to maintain good stock levels, some popular sizes can sell out more quickly than others as the start of the school year approaches.
Shop early to ensure the best choice of sizes and availability.
Do you need an appointment?
Simply come into the store during our normal opening hours and our team will be happy to assist with fitting and sizing.
Where possible, we recommend visiting on a weekday, when the store is generally quieter and we can give you more time and assistance.
Do you charge for alterations?
We offer an alteration service for a small additional charge. Prices vary depending on the type and extent of the alteration required.
Urgent alterations may incur an additional charge.
For alteration pricing and turnaround times, please enquire with our team in store. Refer to our Tailoring and Sizing page for reference
Do I need to buy the Summer and Winter uniform all at once?
We recommend purchasing all summer uniform during January, ready for the start of the school year.
For winter uniform, we suggest waiting until towards the end of Term 1. Boys can grow quickly, so purchasing winter items closer to when they are needed can help ensure a better fit.
Where do I purchase the sports uniform?
All sports uniform is purchased directly from the School Uniform Shop and is not available from Thomson’s Suits.
When should I order Nametapes?
During our peak name tape season (November to February), name tapes can take approximately 10 working days to arrive.
We encourage you to order well in advance to avoid delays. We are more than happy to hold your order in-store until you are ready to collect your son's uniform.
