The size you need may differ from your usual size in high street clothes. These are working garments and you will need room to move comfortably.

Students are responsible for cleaning and repairing their uniforms. Uniforms should be washed at 60 degrees for a minimum of ten minutes. All uniforms supplied to students are suitable for washing at this temperature.
If you can’t move your hands around in your pockets, Bend and squat comfortably, Stretch and raise your arms above your head, then it’s probably too tight for the work you will be doing.

Please try on EACH & EVERY ITEM as soon as possible (a small changing area will be available on the collection day) to check for faults as well as fit.

If you are not able to try on all the garments on the collection day, you will have 72 hours to return your uniform along with the returns form (reverse of the delivery note) to SHU (Technical Resources F306) who will arrange transportation back to the supplier and coordinate a new collection time.
