Another remarked: "Happy with all of them and will continue to choose all my kids school uniforms from you."

However, not all feedback was positive, with one critic stating: "Always buy school uniform from Tu. really good quality with a great price and Sizing is pretty spot on. Lack of availability online would be my only bad point. Certain sizes sell out really fast and they don't restock before schools go back."

Another buyer noted: "Original item was incorrectly sized. Ordered larger size and now good."

While one customer gushed: "I love the boys school wear, I always buy everything from the school range as the price and quality are fantastic."
