Sizing and fit questions

What sizes does the unisex school shirt come in?

The shirt is available in six age-based sizes: 5-6 yrs, 7-8 yrs, 9-10 yrs, 11-12 yrs, 13-14 yrs and 15-16 yrs, all in white. The record gives these as age ranges, not chest or length measurements, so use them as a starting point and check the fit against your child rather than assuming a perfect match.

How does the shirt fit?

The product is described as having a comfortable regular fit. It is a unisex style with a traditional collar, full button fastening and adjustable button cuffs. The adjustable cuffs let you tighten or loosen the wrist slightly, which can help if your child is between sizes at the sleeve.

Is it true to age or should I size up?

The record does not confirm whether the shirt runs small, large or true to age. Without that, the safest approach is to compare the age range with your child's usual school shirt size and use the adjustable cuffs and regular fit as your guide. If your child is at the top of an age band, the next size up may give more room, but the record does not state a growth allowance.

Can boys and girls both wear it?

Yes. The shirt is described as unisex and suitable for both boys and girls. The white colour and classic collar make it a straightforward uniform option for either.

Fabric and sensitive skin questions

What is the shirt made of?

It is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. The product record also states there is no latex or elastane. That matters for a school shirt for sensitive skin because latex is a common allergen, and the absence of elastane means the fabric itself is cotton rather than a stretch blend.

Is it breathable for everyday school wear?

The record describes the shirt as soft, breathable and naturally gentle on sensitive skin. It is a long-sleeve shirt with a regular fit, so it sits close to the skin without being described as tight. Breathability is a stated product characteristic, not a measured rating, so treat it as a guide rather than a guarantee for every child.

Does GOTS certification mean it is safe for eczema?

GOTS certification covers organic fibre content and processing standards. The record does not claim the shirt is medically tested or specifically approved for eczema. What it does confirm is 100% organic cotton with no latex or elastane, which are useful facts if you are avoiding those materials. Always check with your child's doctor about specific skin conditions.

Washing and care questions

How should I wash the organic cotton school shirt?

Wash at 30°C with non-bio liquid or powder, then cool tumble dry. These are the care instructions supplied with the product. Following them helps protect the organic cotton and keeps the shirt comfortable for daily wear.

Can I tumble dry it?

Yes, a cool tumble dry is listed in the care instructions. The record does not give a maximum heat setting beyond 'cool', so avoid a hot cycle.

Should I use biological detergent?

The care instructions specify non-bio liquid or powder. If your child has sensitive skin, non-bio is the stated choice for this shirt.

Will washing affect the fit or colour?

The record does not include information on shrinkage or colour fading. Wash according to the supplied instructions and treat any change in fit or colour as something to check after the first wash rather than something the product record predicts.

Layering and school-day questions

Can my child wear a vest or base layer underneath?

The shirt has a regular fit, so a thin base layer may fit underneath, but the record does not confirm layering room. If your child needs an extra layer for warmth, try the combination at home before a school day to check comfort and movement.

Is it warm enough for winter?

The record does not state thermal performance. It is a long-sleeve cotton shirt, so warmth will depend on what is worn over it. The product information does not describe it as insulating or winter-specific.

Where is the shirt made?

The record states it is made in India for Eco Outfitters.
