House Polo $27.50
Track pants $22

Everything other than trousers, shorts, track pants and sports shorts has school emblems or colours on it so needs to be bought from the school or the uniform supplier

I think your little blokes uniform is a bit more formal than ours

Well whatever stuff that you don't have to get with a logo, get it from a regular shop for a lot cheaper. Also I know a few mums who buy cheaper shirts from BigW etc and then take them to get the logo put on it for only a few $$ and that still works out cheaper than buying it from the local uniform supplier.

ETA - and there are some things that he wont need right away, like the long sleeve shirt, trousers and trackies etc and you would only need 1 jumper to start the year JIC there is a cold snap, so there are something that you wont have to buy at the start of the year.

I'm lucky, DS's only 'uniform" with logos etc is jumper and t-shirt and hat.

I bought from Target at the beginning of the year - 3 shorts, 3 trackpants, 6 skivvies (3 blue 3 yellow), bucketloads of blue sox (like 15 pairs). From the uniform shop - 2 shirts ($30 each) and 2 jumpers ($35 each) and one hat ($19). He lost the hat within a week. I made him go with a bright red hat for the rest of the term and bought him a new one at the start of Term 2.

Mind you he also lost a lunchbox and 4 drinkbottles in the first term... and EVERYTHING was named...

Oh yeah, we've been down that road. We lost a hat for an entire term once and it did turn up at the start of the next term as I have our surname sew onto everything like that so it's useless for anyone else to use (but after going through 4 kids it's gonna be useless anyway LOL)
