Finding Organic Cotton School Clothing Made in USA

The Internet is one of the best sources of this clothing. The problem is that there are just not a lot of manufacturers of organic cotton school clothing made in the USA. Most of the retailers of organic cotton school uniforms are in Europe.

Round Belly

Round Belly is consistently one of the best sites for families to find organic clothing and bedding products. All the clothing is made in the USA, manufactured in Minnesota. They have a good selection of school uniforms as well as clothing for play, school (for those that do not have uniform policies) and church. Most of the clothing is organic cotton or organic cotton blends, but there are also other organic fabrics like boiled wool, hemp, and Merino. At the moment, Round Belly is possibly the only place to find ready to wear organic cotton school uniforms in the United States.

School uniform items that Round Belly carries are:

  • Skirt, navy, white, or khaki
  • Pleated skirt, navy or khaki
  • Shorts, navy or khaki
  • Jumper, navy or khaki
  • Pants, navy or khaki
  • Polo shirt, white
  • Dress shirt, white sateen or yellow plaid
  • Short sleeved shirt, white

All school uniforms can be made to order in other colors if bought in bulk quantities. They are also able to add logos to the clothing. If your child is an odd size, the uniforms can be custom fit. Best of all, Round Belly has a year long warranty on their school uniforms. If an item is outgrown or worn out during the school year, it will be replaced.

Custom Uniform Company

Custom Uniform Company makes all kinds of uniforms, including:

  • School
  • Cheerleading
  • Band
  • Hotels, corporate, and industrial

The company has been in business for over 72 years and even made military uniforms during World War II. They can supply numerous uniforms for an entire school, designed to your specifications, as well as a few uniforms for your child. Custom Uniform Company only charges for the work they actually do; if you supply the fabric, pattern, or other items the charges will be less than if they do all the work. This is not like ordering a ready made outfit from a school uniform company, but is old fashioned, quality, custom tailoring.

Other Sites that Carry Organic Clothing

Since not all schools require school uniforms, there is the possibility that your child could wear nice play clothing to school. There are several options for organic clothing for children. For example:

  • Wild Child does not currently carry organic uniforms, but they are adding organic children's clothing to their stores.
  • Lapsaky is located in Seattle. There are no school uniforms on the site, but there are nice play clothes and dressy dresses all made from organic materials.
  • Garden Kids Clothing provides organic clothing from newborn to size eight. The clothes are nice enough for school, but versatile enough for play and made in Oregon.

Making It Yourself

If you sew, you can buy patterns and organic fabric and make your own custom school uniforms. You could also hire a local seamstress to make them for you. Be sure to check with your school district for any construction details that you may need to know such as skirt length or color of fabric.

Organic cotton school clothing, made in USA, is a great way to teach children about important environmental issues like sustainable farming and the effects of transportation on the environment. It is also a great way to keep chemicals and toxins away from their developing systems. Organic cottons are naturally soft and comfortable. They wear as well as or better than conventionally made cotton clothing. By creating a demand for environmentally conscientious products, consumers will encourage manufacturers to make these items more of a priority.
