I like most working parents are very limited on time and so we weren't able to visit the store in person, so we choose to do an online order for home delivery. I explained we are going away and I was worried the uniform would arrive whilst we were away on holiday, miss delivery and not be ready for starting his first day (we arrive home the day before term starts!) I was advised the trousers were showing as low stock, but Mandy did everything possible to ensure our order (in full) 20 items arrived promptly. IT ALL ARRIVED TODAY - less than 2 days from ordering. Everything is perfect despite not trying a single item on. I wanted to extend my thanks to such an easy process. We'll be back to store when we have outgrown this order. Many thanks - one happy mum and son.

It's a really weird place for an army surplus store, near all the big retail DIY places, but what…read morefun to look round! It's a bit daunting as a rather nosy female, as there are lots of military and tattooed types who look like they're supplying their own personal army, but it's well worth a look. If you're not familiar with surplus stores, they're basically leftover army kit being sold off cheap. It's usually really good quality, but not the most attractive (think green, sand and camo colours) or necessarily the most luxurious. If, for some reason, you like looking like a soldier, the clothes are really good. Incidentally, they're tough enough to be good for gardening and lots of outdoor sports. There's never much for women though. I find it most useful for getting outdoor equipment like drinks bottles and camping kit. It's all really tough and you know it'll do the job as people's lives depend on it. Have a browse on Ebay for army surplus if you want more of an idea what there is before you make the journey out to visit the store.

They also have an on-site embroidering service to complete designs for individual uniform requirements. The shop itself has an atmosphere of old-world courtesy and I have always found the assistants to be very helpful and polite. They also do mail-order and on-line ordering (check out their website for details) and again the service has always been of the highest, both in person and on the phone. A very good quality shop with quality service to match.

The straightforward no-nonsense name of this shop and the 'national' aspect of it, makes me think…read moreof Soviet Russia. I can imagine there were many shops in Soviet Russia with similar names, where only 1 uniform for each sex was on sale (in tokens of some sort) and maybe a large, ridiculously heavy, old school medicine ball was on display. Well this shop isn't quite as bleak as that,. Though I'm sure for the kids who have to go there, the oppressive atmosphere (being with yer mum, buying school clothes!) and the impending sense of doom (of having to return to school) is similar that of living in Stalin's state. This shop is just really practical and will provide you with all the uniforms and dance shoes a young person could have forced upon them.

These are the sort of shops that only appeal to school attendees, and I use the word appeal in the loosest of definitions. Specialising in school wear from PE pumps to full on uniforms, I remember going to places like this as a kid and getting aches in the back of my knees. I still get this achy feeling when I occasionally go shopping with my mother, or spend too long in a library, but I am missing the point. - "Got a kid?" - "Yes" - "Need school clothes?" - "Yes" - "Then go to the National Schoolwear Centre in Hove.
