Brigade Clothing Ltd

Brigade Clothing Ltd, school uniform supplier in the United Kingdom

Brigade Clothing Ltd is a British company dedicated to supplying school uniforms and schoolwear. According to its own presentation, it was formed over 25 years ago to meet the needs of the schoolwear market with a standard of service that, in its view, did not exist at the time. The company describes itself as a market leader in the school uniform sector and states that it has thousands of customers.

Its business model combines wholesale sales to schools and direct sales to families, so that a school can manage orders centrally or direct parents to purchase.

Range of garments and accessories

The offering listed on the site includes a wide range of school items:

• Jackets and blazers
• Shirts
• Knitwear and jumpers
• Sweatshirts and polo shirts
• Sportswear
• Trousers, skirts and dresses
• Jackets

• Headwear
• Leavers hoodies

The company also maintains a specific product line with sustainability criteria, identified on item pages by its own logo.

Embroidery, customisation and sportswear

Brigade offers free embroidery to adapt its core products to each school's identity, as well as customisation options using a logo or emblem. It has a range of sportswear for all ages and a line of leavers items with several design options, managed through the brigadeleavers.com site.

The company states that its embroidered or printed garments are of high quality and that this level, together with its service, explains its customers' loyalty.

Service for schools and families

The company distinguishes two purchasing routes: schools and parents. For schools, it has account managers who can visit to discuss requirements with no obligation, and it notes that it can send a sample within 24 hours to any part of the United Kingdom, including England, Wales and Scotland. The telephone number given for schools and businesses is 024 7642 1083.

The site publishes ordering, measuring and washing guides, and a video on how to take measurements.
