Striped School Sweater (V-Neck)

Product details

A striped school sweater adds a smart, recognisable finish to a school uniform. Ours is a classic V-neck pullover with contrast stripes around the neckline, knitted from the same warm, pill-resistant yarn as our plain sweater. Many Kenyan schools use stripes in their colours so pupils are easy to identify on trips, at sports events and in town — and a well-made striped school sweater keeps those stripes crisp all year.

What makes our striped school sweater different

Cheap sweaters often have stripes that pucker, fade or bleed into the body colour after a few washes. We knit the stripes into the neckline rib, so they stay straight, sharp and colour-fast. The result is a striped school sweater that still looks neat at the end of third term.

• Knitted-in contrast stripes on the V-neck — not printed, so they never crack or peel.
• Pill-resistant acrylic-blend knit that stays smooth and soft.
• Ribbed cuffs and waistband that keep their stretch.
• Reinforced shoulder seams for daily wear and washing.
• Same price as our plain sweater in every size.

Colours and stripe combinations

We stock the striped school sweater in forest green, royal blue, maroon, red and navy blue, with white contrast stripes. These cover a large share of the school colour schemes we see in Nairobi and across Kenya.

Does your school use a different combination — for example navy with gold stripes, or maroon with grey? Add the body colour and stripe colours in the order notes at checkout, or message us before ordering. For schools ordering in bulk we can knit a striped school sweater in your exact colours, and we can embroider your school badge on the chest.

Striped or plain?

Your school's uniform list decides. If the list says "V-neck sweater with stripes" or shows a photo with lines around the neck, choose this striped school sweater. If it says "plain sweater", choose our plain school sweater. Because both cost the same, there is no price difference to worry about — just match what the school asks for.

Looking after a striped school sweater

• Wash inside out in cool water with a mild detergent.
• Wash darker sweaters separately for the first two washes.
• Do not use bleach; it can dull both the body colour and the stripes.
• Squeeze gently and dry flat in the shade to keep the V-neck in shape.
• Label the sweater with your child's name.

Following these steps keeps the stripes bright and the striped school sweater looking smart for the whole year.

Getting the stripes right

Before you order, look closely at your school's current sweater or uniform photo. Count the stripes on the neckline, note their colour, and check whether the cuffs and waistband are striped too. Most schools use one or two white stripes on the V-neck only, which is exactly what we stock. If your school uses gold, red, yellow or grey stripes, or stripes on the cuffs as well, send us a clear photo first. That way the striped school sweater you receive matches what the teachers expect on the first day of term, and your child does not stand out in assembly.

Striped school sweater: frequently asked questions

Will the stripes fade or run?

The stripes are knitted into the rib and are colour-fast. Washing in cool water and drying in the shade keeps them bright.

Can you make a striped school sweater in our school colours?

Yes. For school and bulk orders we can match your body and stripe colours and add an embroidered badge. WhatsApp us a photo of your current sweater.

Is the striped school sweater more expensive than the plain one?

No. The striped school sweater and the plain school sweater cost the same in every size, from KSh 750 for sizes 22–24.

Can I exchange a striped school sweater for a different size?

Yes, within seven days of delivery, as long as it is unworn, unwashed and still tagged.
