What’s in my wardrobe? Uniforms, of course. Lots of uniforms. These represent stuff purchased (largely by Paul, some by me, small amount by other people) over the course of almost 30 years. A number of items have worn out, gotten too big, too small, and/or been given away over the years. Let me know if you have any questions about sourcing and/or sizing and I can try to help.

Mija,
The crest on your uniform is from Dr.Williams School Dolgellau refer dwsorga.org.uk has a lot of information.
I hope you find this useful, searched on the crest latin.
Australian private schools are big on strict unifrom policies.
Mr. Bell, , for the second time, your comment here has sent me down a rabbit hole and lost several hours. Time was never better spent. With luck I’ll never come out.
Mija,
If there are discipline issues in your household and punishment is necessary to restore order, certainly a traditional English caning is very effective.
A cane or canes kept on display acts as a reminder about the consequences of misbehaviour or failing a uniform inspection.
The best |English disciplinarians use Quality Control canes, a wide range is available at http://www.quality-control.co.uk
Rest assured their senior dragon or smoked dragon canes will ensure a well disciplined household. Caning builds character and after a few whackings a marked improvement in behaviour will be evident.
