Of course, when a hoodie, a tee-shirt, or anything else is chosen as part of the official leaving clothing for those now departing the school, the look of the items will be what attracts the students first of all.
But hidden behind this is a second factor, and one that turns out to be much more important.
Because it turns out that some items of leavers’ clothing are made on the basis that they are only going to be worn once or twice. After that, it is argued, it doesn’t matter if the clothing deteriorates, because the leaver won’t be wearing it any more.
Thus the quality of the clothing can be cut. But although such an approach does cut costs, it can also seriously damage the school’s reputation. For it turns out that many leavers keep their leavers’ clothing as a memento. And if they see it rapidly deteriorating that can affect their view of the school they have just left far more than one might imagine.
As we all know, negative comments spread like wildfire on social media, and therefore what should have been a positive statement about the old school now becomes a totally negative statement about the shoddiness of the clothing provided for the leavers.
Which is why there is one company, LeaversGear, which specialises in quality, not just for leavers but for all school apparel, be it for school trips, outdoor activities, or sports teams.
To take our hoodies as an example, we offer a slightly heavier weight at 310gsm against the cheaper standard 280 gsm, with double fabric hood and self colour chunky flat cords. They have a kangaroo pouch pocket with concealed ipad and phone pocket, ribbed cuff and hem and twin needle stitching detail.
What’s more, not only is our quality exceptional, we are very competitively priced as well.
And there’s no need to guess at sizes; we will send you samples at no cost. We just ask you to return the samples when you’ve finished with them.
