For parents

The right fit, without the queue.

Your school uses VILAN for its uniforms. Here is how to measure once, keep every garment looking new, and get quick help when you need it.

Four simple steps

From measuring tape to first day.

How ordering works (through the school, a store or online) is agreed with each school and shared in its circular.

Check your school's circular

It tells you how and when to order for your child's class.

Measure once

Three measurements, five minutes, one soft tape.

Order by class and size

One size chart applies to every garment.

Exchange if needed

A clear exchange route by class and garment.

Size guide

Measure once.

Wrong sizes cause most exchanges. Measure over light clothing, keep the tape snug but not tight, and note the numbers in centimetres.

1 · Chest

Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, tape level all the way round.

2 · Waist

Around the natural waist, where the child bends sideways. Do not pull the tape tight.

3 · Height

Standing straight against a wall, without shoes. Used for shirt and trouser length.

Between two sizes? Choose the larger size so the garment lasts the full school year. Your school's size chart is shared with its ordering details.
Care guide

Keep it looking new all year.

Most fading comes from washing, not the cloth. These four habits keep navy navy and white white.

  • Wash cool. 30°C, inside out, with similar colours.
  • No bleach. It weakens fibres and fades colours.
  • Dry in shade. Strong sun fades navy quickly.
  • Iron on the reverse. Never iron directly over a printed or embroidered crest.

Always follow the care label sewn into each garment.
