Measurement FAQs
How do your sizes compare to other store sizes?
Sizes can vary by manufacturer and item. School uniform sizing often does not match everyday clothes. Our garments are uniquely designed for your school and have different fittings, so please check the size chart with your measurements before ordering online to make sure that you get the sizes that fit you best.
How do I order the best fitting size?
In order to find your size on ArgyleOnLine, you need to take few body measurements, such as chest & waist measurements, and compare them with the size chart tables for each item. You'll need a tape measure, close fitting clothes on and it helps if you have someone to measure you. Once you have all the measurements you can order online. Our garments have different fittings, so please check the size chart with your measurements before ordering online to make sure that you get the sizes that fit you best. We have allowed for a comfortable fit and room for the wearer to grow.
How do I measure my child?
If you need a tape measure, they are available from your child’s school. If you are unsure of where to measure, check our measuring guide.
If your measurements fit you into more than one size, we recommend that you select the larger size. That way you can be sure there is more room for growth.
How many uniforms should I purchase?
This depends on your laundry schedule. We recommend a minimum of 3 tops and 2-3 bottoms. It is easy to order more garments if they are needed.
