School Uniforms – Comfortable and Durable Solution from Fruit of the Loom, Russell and Result
The new school year is fast approaching, and with it comes the topic of school uniforms again. It’s important that students – from preschoolers to college-goers – have clothing that provides comfort, a unified appearance, and the durability to withstand the rigors of daily wear. At Ies Polska, as the country’s largest distributor of promotional and workwear clothing from Fruit of the Loom, Russell, and Result, we have prepared a selection of garments perfectly suited to serve as uniforms in the upcoming school year. Our many years of experience and extensive warehouse facilities guarantee that we can fulfill even very large orders – we stock so much apparel that we could outfit all the residents of the capital city. Below, we present the key advantages of our uniform solutions.
Comfort and Unity – The Advantages of School Uniforms
Two primary school students sharing a friendly moment in matching uniforms. Quality school uniforms are designed to foster unity while ensuring comfort for active children.
School uniforms are not just about a consistent look; above all, they are a practical solution for schools. A uniform dress code fosters a sense of community among students and eliminates competition over outfits – everyone feels part of the same team. From the perspective of daily use, however, the key factors are comfort and durability. Good uniforms should be made from breathable, soft fabrics that don’t restrict a child’s movements, even after hours of wear. Equally important is material durability – school attire is worn intensively and washed frequently, so it needs to hold its color and shape over time. The high-quality T-shirts, polo shirts, and sweatshirts in our range meet these requirements, ensuring students stay comfortable while giving schools a consistent, polished image.
Fruit of the Loom – A Classic Uniform Choice for Every School
Fruit of the Loom is one of the world’s most recognizable apparel brands, valued for its high product quality, comfort, and wide range of colors and sizes. It’s no surprise that for years its garments have been chosen for school uniforms. We offer the full spectrum of Fruit of the Loom clothing for children and adults – from classic T-shirts and polos to sweatshirts and tracksuits. Fruit of the Loom 65/35 Polo shirts are a genuine uniform bestseller – made from a polyester-cotton blend that combines the benefits of both materials. Thanks to the polyester, they are more resistant to wear and retain their colors even with frequent washing, while the cotton ensures they remain soft to the touch. The manufacturer guarantees these polos can be washed at temperatures up to 60°C without any loss of quality, which makes keeping uniforms clean much easier.
Key Features of Fruit of the Loom Polo Shirts for School Uniforms
Durable pique knit – resistant to damage yet breathable and comfortable to wear.
Reinforced seams and finishing – a reinforcing tape at the neck and double stitching at the hem provide greater durability and prevent the fabric from stretching out of shape.
Classic collared design – a two-button placket, along with a ribbed knit collar and sleeve cuffs, gives the polo a neat appearance, a good fit, and keeps its shape.
Easy care fabric – can be laundered at high temperatures (up to 60°C) without losing color or form.
65% polyester / 35% cotton blend – this combination ensures both high wear resistance and all-day comfort for the wearer.
These polo shirts are available in a full range of sizes – from ages 3–4 years up to teen sizes and even adult sizes. This means one product line can uniformly outfit the youngest pupils as well as older students or even the teaching staff. Fruit of the Loom also offers a wide selection of colors – from classic white and navy, through black, gray, and bottle green, and burgundy, to more vibrant shades like red or blue. Every school can find a hue that matches its official colors. Importantly, this brand’s polo shirts are very durable and hold their vivid colors even with intensive use, which results in an exceptionally good quality-to-price ratio. Investing in Fruit of the Loom uniforms is a guarantee that they will serve students for a long time while still looking neat and fresh.
Russell – Premium-Quality School Apparel
Our second flagship brand is Russell (Russell Europe), which stems from the legendary American company Russell Athletic. For years, Russell has been providing top-quality clothing and has earned the trust of businesses and individual customers who value style, comfort, and durability. In terms of school uniforms, Russell products perform exceptionally well wherever a more elegant or extra-durable finish to student attire is expected.
Our assortment includes, among other items, Russell polo shirts, T-shirts, and sweatshirts, which serve as an excellent alternative or complement to standard uniform pieces. For example, Russell’s children’s polo shirts stand out with a heavier fabric weight (210 g/m²) and the use of ring-spun cotton. This means the material is thicker and more resistant to wear, yet exceptionally soft and smooth to the touch thanks to the combed fibers. Such a polo is ideal for schools that want a slightly more premium character for their uniforms or need garments that can withstand even more intensive use.
Russell is also renowned for its sweatshirts and sweaters – made from high-quality cotton-polyester blends. Their classic crew-neck sweatshirts and smart V-neck sweaters have a reputation for being soft yet practically “indestructible.” A Russell kids’ sweater or sweatshirt with the school logo looks very professional – the material doesn’t fade or stretch out, and the seams stay in place even after many wash cycles. The brand emphasizes modern design combined with functionality, ensuring students look neat but feel comfortable throughout the day. If you’re seeking premium-class school uniforms, Russell is an excellent choice.
Result – Sports and Outdoor Wear in the Service of Schools
The Result brand complements our uniform offering with outerwear and sportswear elements. Result specializes in outdoor and promotional clothing, which translates into products like rain jackets, softshells, fleeces, bodywarmers, and caps – all designed with maximum functionality in mind. Result apparel is appreciated for its high-quality construction, durability, and thoughtful, practical details. In a school context, this can mean, for example, sturdy bodywarmer vests or fleece jackets that are perfect for colder days or school field trips.
It’s also worth noting that Result employs innovative material technologies to ensure thermal comfort and resistance to various weather conditions. Their jackets often feature covered zippers and reflective elements to improve safety, while their fleeces have anti-pilling properties. This means uniform pieces like jackets or fleeces fulfill their role not only visually but also practically in everyday use.
Sportswear for Schools
For physical education classes or school sports teams, we have solutions ready as well. In addition to the Result line, we also offer our Spiro brand, which specializes in sports and activewear. Spiro provides polyester athletic shirts that will complete the kit for school PE lessons or team practice sessions. With uniform everyday attire from Fruit of the Loom and Russell, plus Spiro/Result sportswear for athletic activities, a school can ensure a cohesive look for its students in every situation.

Personalizing School Uniforms – Your School’s Logo and Colors
Choosing the right uniform is only the beginning – for students to truly feel proud of their school, it’s worth investing in personalization. Our company has specialized in branding promotional and corporate apparel for many years, and we offer a full range of school uniform personalization services. In practice, we most often recommend embroidering the school’s logo or emblem on the chest of a polo shirt, sweatshirt, or sweater. Computerized embroidery provides an elegant and extremely durable result – a professionally executed embroidery will not fade or fray even with frequent washing, and it looks very prestigious. This method is an excellent choice for uniform items such as polo shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, or caps.
Aside from embroidery, depending on the needs and the type of uniform material, we can also offer other marking techniques, including:
Screen Printing – A traditional, very durable printing method, recommended for larger orders. A school logo applied with screen print on T-shirts or bags will retain its colors and sharp details for a long time, and this technique is cost-effective for bulk quantities.
DTG Printing (Direct to Garment) – Modern digital direct-to-fabric printing. It allows multi-color, even photo-quality designs (for example, graphics for school events) in short runs. This method is ideal when you need a smaller number of uniforms with a more complex design.
Flex/Flock Vinyl – A personalization technique using heat-transfer vinyl, perfect for simple, single-color names or numbers. It can be used to add, for instance, student names, class numbers, or jersey numbers on sports uniforms. The vinyl lettering can be either smooth (flex) or velvety (flock) to the touch, and is highly resistant to washing.
Our experience guarantees that every logo or inscription applied to clothing will look professional and withstand the demands of daily school use. We approach each project individually, selecting the appropriate marking method for the material and the client’s expectations – this ensures the final result meets the highest standards of quality and aesthetics. Moreover, we are able to manage the entire process from start to finish: from design visualization, through to final branding and on-time delivery of the finished uniforms. Your school will receive ready-to-wear garments that will be a source of pride for both students and teachers.
Large Orders? No Problem!
Organizing school uniforms often means ordering a large quantity of garments – for larger schools this could be hundreds or even thousands of items. For Ies Polska, that’s all in a day’s work. Our warehouse and logistics capabilities ensure that fulfilling orders of a few thousand or even tens of thousands of pieces poses no challenge. We have such a large stock of apparel that – literally – we could dress the residents of an entire city. In practice, this means that even if you need uniforms for all the students and staff at once, we can compile and deliver that order efficiently and on time.
As an experienced clothing supplier, we pride ourselves on timely and reliable fulfillment. Our standing in the market translates into the knowledge and ability to advise you – we help select the optimal solutions tailored to your school’s budget and needs. The high quality of our service goes hand in hand with a flexible, competitive pricing approach made possible by our scale of operations. It’s no surprise that not only schools, but even global brands and organizations, turn to us for apparel, appreciating our professionalism and logistical capabilities.
A Wide Palette of Colors and Sizes
Every school has its own visual identity – its colors, emblem, and sometimes specific uniform requirements. We understand this perfectly, which is why we carry clothing in a very wide range of colors to ideally match the needs of each institution. As mentioned earlier with Fruit of the Loom and Russell, many models are available in dozens of color variants. For example, a popular children’s polo shirt can come in colors such as: white, black, navy blue, light blue, bottle green, burgundy, red, purple, yellow, or heather gray – to name just a few of the most typical shades. Thanks to this variety, both private schools with unique color schemes and public schools opting for classic colors will find what they need with us.
What’s more, nearly all uniform apparel in our assortment is available across the full range of children’s and youth sizes, and often in adult sizes as well. This makes it easy to maintain a consistent look not only among students of different ages and heights, but also among teachers or coaches (for example, matching polo shirts for a sports team and its coach). For instance, Fruit of the Loom 65/35 polo shirts are offered in sizes from 3–4 years (104 cm) through successive age groups up to 14–15 years (164 cm), and the adult counterparts of these polos go up to very large sizes (even 5XL in select models). Such a wide span of sizes guarantees that no student is left out – everyone can have a uniform that fits them perfectly.
