Plain School Sweater (V-Neck)

Product details

Our plain school sweater is the V-neck pullover that most Kenyan primary, junior and senior schools put on their uniform list. It is warm on cold Nairobi mornings, light enough to wear in class all day, and knitted to hold its shape term after term. If you are looking for a plain school sweater that looks smart in January and still looks good in November, this is the one parents come back to every year.

Why parents choose our plain school sweater

A school sweater is the uniform item that gets the hardest use. Children pull it on and off, wear it on the playground, sit on it, and wash it every week. We chose a soft acrylic-blend knit that resists pilling and keeps its colour, so the plain school sweater you buy in first term does not look tired by the third.

• Holds its shape — ribbed cuffs, neckline and waistband stay snug instead of stretching out.
• Pill-resistant yarn that keeps the surface smooth after many washes.
• Colour that lasts — the dye holds up to sun, washing and daily wear.
• Reinforced shoulder seams so the sleeves do not pull away.
• Soft against the skin, so it is comfortable over a short-sleeve or long-sleeve school shirt.

Plain school sweater sizes and prices

Every plain school sweater comes in sizes 22 to 42, covering children from pre-primary (PP1 and PP2) right through to senior school, and even small adults. The size number is close to the chest measurement in inches. Prices depend on the size, and the price for each size is listed in the table on this page:

• Sizes 22–24: KSh 750
• Sizes 26–28: KSh 850
• Sizes 30–32: KSh 950
• Sizes 34–36: KSh 1,100
• Sizes 38–40: KSh 1,300
• Size 42: KSh 1,500

When you choose a size above, the price updates so you always know exactly what you will pay before checkout. If your child is between sizes, we recommend the larger size so the plain school sweater lasts the whole school year. Our uniform size guide shows the usual size for each age.

Colours for your plain school sweater

We stock the plain school sweater in the colours most Kenyan schools use: forest green, royal blue, maroon, red and navy blue. Most schools in Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, Nakuru and beyond use one of these five. If your school uses a different colour — grey, purple, black or another shade — write it in the order notes at checkout or send us a message on WhatsApp, and we will confirm whether we can supply it.

If you prefer contrast stripes on the neckline, see our striped school sweater. Both sweaters are priced the same for every size, so you can choose purely on what your school requires.

School badges and logo embroidery

Schools, PTA committees and bursars can order the plain school sweater in bulk with the school badge embroidered on the chest. Embroidery gives a neat, permanent finish that does not crack or peel like a printed transfer. We match your school colours and pack orders by class so distribution is easy. Visit our bulk school uniforms page or WhatsApp us with your logo and quantities for a quotation.

How to care for a plain school sweater

A little care keeps your plain school sweater looking new for longer:

• Turn the sweater inside out before washing.
• Wash in cool or lukewarm water (about 30°C) with a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach, which fades red, maroon, royal blue and green dyes.
• Gently squeeze out water — do not wring or twist.
• Dry flat in the shade, away from strong direct sun.
• Write your child's name on the label; school sweaters are the most commonly lost item at school.

Plain school sweater: frequently asked questions

What size plain school sweater should I buy?

Measure around your child's chest, under the arms, in inches, and choose the size closest to that number. A typical eight-year-old wears size 28 and a typical twelve-year-old wears size 32, but children grow at different rates, so measuring is best.

Is the plain school sweater warm enough for July?

Yes. The knit is warm enough for cold mornings and the July cold season, while still being comfortable indoors. For very cold areas or early games, add a fleece jacket.

Can I exchange the sweater if it does not fit?

Yes. If your plain school sweater is unworn, unwashed and still has its tags, you can exchange it for another size within seven days of delivery.

Do you sell the plain school sweater in bulk?

Yes. We supply schools across Kenya with the plain school sweater in their colours, with or without an embroidered badge, at volume prices.
