Swatches & Tips

For requesting swatches from Lands End you need to go to the uniform section, click on the item you would like to buy, and then you can request the swatch right from that page.  I clicked on navy pants, and it gave me the option of the khaki and navy color.  Both of which match our Academy colors.  Here's the link

One other think I have noticed is, if you don't stay in the uniform section of the website, you do run the risk of getting the wrong color.  I almost did this, by clicking on a sale item.  

The other thing I noticed is that JCPenney has the uniform pants mixed in with the other dress slacks in the husky boys section (of all places) at the Garrity store.  All the more confusing for those of us learning the ropes.

Even ordering online we could end up getting an order that was filled incorrectly. What I have found to be the easiest are these things when shopping are;

1. Shop TS Embroidery first (she is so helpful, you can try things on, she's cheaper, and can order to fit most sizes).

2. Stay within the uniform section of all websites (don't get fooled by sale banners).

3. Keep a swatch with you at all times during these spring and summer months, so you don't miss a great sale.

4. Keep in mind that most all the stores only carry one brand in their uniform section.  

5. Don't stress too much, and keep receipts!  We'll get the hang of this soon!
