Long-Sleeve School Shirt

Product details

A long sleeve school shirt is required by many Kenyan secondary schools, junior schools and private schools, especially where a tie is part of the uniform. Our long sleeve school shirt has buttoned cuffs, a firm collar and a curved hem that stays tucked in, and it is made from an easy-care fabric that looks smart from the morning assembly to the last lesson of the day.

Built for a smart, all-day look

Students wear a long sleeve school shirt for long days, often under a sweater or blazer. It needs to stay neat without constant ironing. Our polyester-cotton blend resists creasing, dries quickly and keeps its colour wash after wash.

• Buttoned cuffs that can be rolled up neatly on hot afternoons.
• Fused collar that holds its shape under a tie.
• Curved, longer hem that stays tucked into trousers or skirts.
• Chest pocket with reinforced corners.
• Easy-iron, quick-dry fabric, ideal for boarding school.

Choose a size above to see its price. Secondary and senior school students usually wear sizes 34 to 40. Remember to check sleeve length: if your child is tall for their age, go up a size so the cuffs reach the wrist. Our uniform size guide explains how to measure.

A long sleeve school shirt for boarding school

For boarding students, shirts are often hand-washed and dried on a line. That is where our long sleeve school shirt shines: it dries fast, needs little ironing and does not lose its shape. We recommend packing three to four shirts for a full boarding term. Label each long sleeve school shirt clearly with your child's name and admission number.

Colours: white, light blue and cream

We stock the long sleeve school shirt in white, light blue and cream. White is the most common choice in Kenyan schools, and light blue and cream are also widely used. Some schools use white for Monday assembly or senior classes and light blue or cream for daily wear. If you need another colour, add it in the order notes or contact us on WhatsApp.

Matching the rest of the uniform

The long sleeve school shirt is made from the same fabric and in the same colours as our short sleeve school shirt, so both look identical apart from the sleeves. It sits well under our striped school sweater or plain school sweater, and pairs neatly with a school tie.

Embroidered crests for schools

Ordering for a whole class or school? We can embroider your crest on the pocket of every long sleeve school shirt, pack orders by class, and deliver to the school. Read more on our bulk school uniforms page.

Care tips

• Unbutton the cuffs and collar before washing.
• Wash whites separately to keep them bright.
• Hang on a hanger to dry; smooth the collar and cuffs by hand.
• Iron on a medium setting if needed.

Long sleeves for the senior school years

As children move from primary into junior and senior school, uniform rules usually become stricter: long sleeves, a tie, top button closed and shirts tucked in at all times. A well-fitting long sleeve school shirt makes those rules easy to follow. Look for three things when you check the fit at home: the collar should close without pulling, leaving room for one finger; the shoulder seam should sit at the edge of the shoulder, not halfway down the arm; and the cuffs should reach the wrist bone when the arms hang down.

Teenagers often grow taller before they grow wider, so a shirt that fits the chest may suddenly be short in the sleeves. If that happens, move up one size — the slightly looser body is hidden under a sweater, while short cuffs are obvious. For boarding students, we recommend sewing name tapes inside the collar of every long sleeve school shirt, because dormitory laundry mixes up identical shirts very quickly. A little planning keeps your child looking smart and saves money over the year.
