THE FORMAL SIDE OF SCHOOLWEAR PART 3

Whilst I have gone into the specifics of such items as school ties, there are many other school uniform items in the range associated with school uniform itself.

Although custom ties are by far the most diverse in the uniform range for the simple fact that there are so many different types of custom ties for schools, to name a few examples, there are matric ties, club ties, branded ties and matric tie designs that will eventually become matric ties.

In a corporate environment, there are also such ties as printed ties, which also fall under custom school ties, woven ties to which the same applies aswell as branded ties, corporate ties and company ties.

But I digress- the topic of discussion relates to school wear and not corporate ties but I felt I needed to include this as the true fact is that all of these ties are actually custom ties, they fall under this umbrella.

School scrolls are also an extremely important factor when it comes to schoolwear or school uniform and are also quite diverse in their number of different options such as academic, sports and so the list goes on.

So if we take into account that all in all there may be 2 or 3 different blazers worn, one or 2 types of school shirts depending on the season, one pair of socks plus of course the sports socks. One jersey, one dress, one blouse etc, one soon realises that custom ties in the form of school ties, matric ties etc by far out weigh the number of variations of any other part of the school uniform with school scrolls coming a close second when it comes to the total number of items that fall under the particular subject matter.

I know of one school that has 63 different school ties- this remarkable when one thinks about this in depth. I mean- really? 63 different school ties or custom ties? where on earth do they all come from? But we have to understand that a school such as the one to which I refer has a hugely old tradition and over the years through various headmasters, house masters, sports masters, all of these different custom ties have accumulated to form a significant number of school ties or custom ties within the realm of ties falling under the school custom ties umbrella.

I also have to say that school scrolls are made by school scroll manufacturers who traditionally are embroiderers by nature or profession and they have extended their reach to incorporate such items as school scrolls.

It is also important to note that although school ties, made by tie makers or tie manufacturers consist of many different varieties or sub sections of custom ties within the school tie realm.

Tie manufacturers or tie makers are so important to the well being of the custom ties markets when it comes to school ties as they are the ones who produce the final item, that piece of uniform worn by the school goer and representing such an important part of the uniform.
