Agree. It's expensive enough as it is as it has to be logoed. What I have trouble with is getting sunscreen marks off stuff.

School jumpers with logo I will buy new ones after attempting to remove the stains with everything, but with white polo shirts I bin them after 3 attempts of stain removal. But I do not buy expensive ones, cheap packs from Tesco will do. The beauty of supermarkets is that you can but 2 packs of white polo shirts for about £3.50. X

My boys wear generic white polo shirts which I buy from Asda or Aldi / Lidl. If they are particularly stained, I'll throw them or use them as household cloths. I don't mind buying them as they are cheap.

They do have School jumpers which have to have a logo on. They are £10 each. A couple have stains (small pen marks), which aren't that noticable so I use those as a back up (as in, "crap, I haven't washed the school uniforms in time!") They wash really well so they don't stain easily (from food, paint etc)

My DD isn't in school yet but we are buying her uniform now.

I guess it depends on if they MUST have the logo polo. For DD who is 5 the logo polo is optional and are £12 each! I've just bought 5 in Asda for £7. As she will get them filthy they can be replaced cheaply. I am buying one logo one for days when they have trips or photos etc.

They don't have to wear the logo and a lot of the older boys don't but as they're all in their first year most do, he would be the odd one out. It's also an extra trek to the uniform shop to get the logos where as I could get the plain with my weekly shop!

It depends on money really.i used to inherit my brother's shirts and by the time I got them they had paint and pen all over them. I never really cared and never got bullied. I still looked smart

My kids have had stains and small holes.i try my best to get the stains out and sew the little holes, and if they look presentable then they wear them again. Large noticeable stains I would throw out, but smaller faint stains I'd keep and use again. If we have money to buy new tops we will do.i have three girls though so right now, buying new tops will have to happen anyway as at some point I'll need them 😂
