Lands' End looks to be the place for school uniforms

Lands' End is targeting all the shoppers who put "new uniforms" on their back-to-school lists this year with a brand new and improved uniform assortment.

"We design every item with comfort, durability, style and ease of care in mind," said Joe Ferreri, senior vice president, Lands' End School Uniforms. "We listen to parents and the schools we partner with to hear what they want and need. Every day, we strive to make our school apparel better developing the best fabrics, better fit, on-trend style, more customized options and our legendary customer service. This back-to-school season, we top the charts with new looks for girls, boys and even spiritwear for the entire family -- all at the highest level of quality and at a great value."

For girls, Lands' End is offering school uniform skirts and skorts in lengths above the knee, at the knee and below the knee. Ponte stretch knit fabric plays a larger role in dresses, jumpers, skirts and skorts. The fabric resists wrinkles and has a smooth drape. New stretch chinos are woven for a better fit and greater comfort. New woven shirt options include an updated Oxford with stain release, stretch poplin shirts in three sleeve lengths, and a piped Peter Pan collar broadcloth. Easy-care cotton and rayon blend cardigans feel and look great while maintaining color and shape wear after wear.

For boys, there's the Perfect Shirt. It's easy to care for and easy to wear with 360 degree reach and fit, moisture-wicking Coolest Comfort finish, stain-release collar and cuffs plus a comfort collar that can be adjusted so it's never too tight. The wrinkle-resistant Oxford shirt, a tried and true school uniform staple, is updated with stain-release for easy care. New dress shirt options, performance cotton and rayon blend sweaters and dress shorts also make the back-to-school list this fall.

Whether for teachers or students, packable rain jackets are durable, water resistant and pack into their own pocket for easy storage while fleece-lined styles offer added warmth. Cotton and rayon blend Performance Drifter Sweaters are easy care for and available in several new styles. New spiritwear for the family includes tees, sweatshirts, totes and more that can be decorated with the school's logo in heat transfer, embroidery or screen printing options.

School uniforms extend to the gym, gear and even accessories. Uniform phys-ed gear is available in tees, shorts and sweats and features moisture-wicking, shrink- and fade-resistant and antimicrobial properties. Coordinating headbands, shoes and even ties keep kids looking polished. Solid backpacks, cinch sacks and lunch totes complete any school uniform wardrobe.

Lands' End School Uniforms has also made the chino even better with Iron Knee technology featuring double the reinforcements where kids tend to wear them out most -- the knee. Iron Knee Chinos are available in a variety of fabrics and styles for both boys and girls, including traditional styles, plus pencil leg and cargo pocket. Available in toddler to adult tall sizes, Lands' End is the place where every student body fits.

Lands' End School Uniforms offera seven to 10 day turnaround time for order processing and logo applications even during peak times, with no deadlines or timing restrictions. Plus, every item is backed by a solid return policy: Whether worn, washed or embroidered, Lands' End School Uniform items are always Guaranteed. Period.

Finally, schools that agree to work with Lands' End as a school uniform provider and make Lands' End School catalogs available to parents throughout the year can raise funds by earning up to 3% cash back on the net sales of all uniform purchases.
