French Toast is a US school uniform brand selling polos, oxford shirts, trousers, shorts, skirts, skorts, jumpers, sweaters, outerwear and accessories for children from toddler sizes up to adult. Many schools list French Toast as an approved supplier, and its site lets families shop by school.
A good French Toast order starts with the school's dress code, then comes down to sizing for a growing child, choosing the right fit range, and picking fabrics that cope with daily washing. Timing matters too, because back-to-school pricing moves a lot.
Start with the school's uniform list
Before browsing, get the exact dress code: colours, whether logos are required, sleeve lengths, and whether skirts must be a certain length. Colours such as navy, khaki and light blue vary slightly between brands, which matters at schools that enforce a matching shade.
If your school partners with French Toast, the shop-by-school search limits the range to approved items and colours, and adds any school logo. That removes most of the guesswork.
Sizing a growing child
French Toast sizes run from toddler through kids', then boys', girls' and young adult sizes. Measure chest, waist, hips and inseam and match them to the French Toast size chart rather than going by age, since children of the same age can differ by several sizes.
Buying one size up for a full school year is common, but trousers that are too long get walked on and worn through at the hem. Adjustable-waist trousers and skirts help here: many French Toast bottoms have an internal button-and-elastic waistband that lets a slightly larger size fit now and grow later.
Shirts should allow for movement at the shoulders and a tucked-in length that stays tucked. Check the length on polos if your school requires shirts tucked in.
Slim, regular, husky and plus
French Toast offers extended fits in many bottoms: slim for narrower children, husky or plus for children who need more room in the waist and seat. Using the correct fit range is better than sizing up in a regular fit, which gives extra length and bagginess where it is not needed.
Compare the waist and inseam figures across the fit ranges on the French Toast chart. A child may need a husky waist but a regular length, which the fit ranges are designed to cover.
Fabrics and finishes for the school week
Uniforms get washed more than almost anything else a child wears. French Toast lists fabric content and finishes on each item: look for stain-resistant and wrinkle-resistant finishes on trousers and polos, and reinforced knees on younger children's trousers.
Pique polos breathe well and hide wear; interlock polos are smoother and softer. Poly-cotton blends hold colour and shape better than pure cotton after many washes, which matters for navy and khaki.
Wash uniforms inside out on a cool cycle and avoid high dryer heat, which fades dark colours and can shrink cotton-rich items.
How many pieces to buy
Most families find five tops and three or four bottoms per child covers a school week with laundry midweek. Add one extra top for PE or spills. Buy sweaters and outerwear once the school's rules on layers are clear.
French Toast sells multi-packs on some basics, which can cost less per piece than single items.
Returns and exchanges
Exchanges for size are the most common need with uniforms. Check the current French Toast return window and whether logo items are returnable; embroidered school-logo pieces are commonly final sale because they cannot be resold.
Order early enough before term starts to allow a size exchange.
Where the French Toast savings are
The 40% code is the deepest and best for a full-year uniform order: several tops, bottoms and a sweater for each child. Uniform orders are large, so the percentage saving adds up fast.
The 30% code is the fallback if the 40% code has expired or excludes items in your basket.
The tops code is for polos and shirts. It suits a mid-year top-up when a child has outgrown shirts but not trousers.
French Toast codes usually do not stack and may exclude school-logo items or clearance. July and August bring the biggest back-to-school promotions, but popular sizes sell out, so buying in early summer with a code can be the better trade.
