School uniforms are unlike any other business in the clothing industry. Street clothing retailers such as Land's End, JC Penney, or Gap limit what kind of clothing you can buy. When you walk into one of their stores, what you see is what you get. School uniform supply companies are different. When your school partners with Hall Closet Uniforms & Apparel, your options are endless. Your school has the ability to create a school uniform using any combination of styles, colors, cuts or fabric that you want.

This is a great advantage to your school. You can create a look that matches your ideals perfectly. It is this flexibility that sets school uniforms apart from the rest of the clothing industry. Of course, you're probably asking yourself, "If the school uniform industry can offer so many options, why isn't everyone doing it?" The answer is that it is more complicated. When we stock inventory at Hall Closet, we're stocking in order to be flexible, not only for your school, but for each school that we work with.

This leaves us with a lot of items to keep in stock. For pants alone there is plain front, pleated front, relaxed fit, classic fit, and elastic back. Each of these has lengths of 30, 32 and 34 multiplied by all of the various waist sizes. While we order these things, we are trying to anticipate what sizes and styles the students from your school will need. Over the years, we have become very accomplished at this, but there is still a level of uncertainty.

So when it comes to the question, "How do I get the most out of my school uniform supply company?" We answer, "It's best to order early!" Its not that we don't stock the styles and sizes that your school needs. It's just that we know flexibility is important to your school, and unlike the rest of the clothing industry, we're going to give you all the options. But while the rest of the clothing industry can keep higher levels of inventory, our wider selection of items forces us to keep lower levels of inventory.

Because of this, it is an industry standard for parents whose schools partner with school uniform supply companies to order no later than July 31st, whether you're working with Hall Closet, or any other supplier. We tell our partner school families to start ordering as early as June. This allows time for school uniform supply companies to gauge levels of inventory, and to order more stock if certain items run low. If by chance a popular item does go on backorder, there is still time to get it out to you before school starts. In this way, we can be flexible, and you can get what you want, when you need it.
