Sears presents... the school uniform superstore.

The shame of it is that they don't come in adult sizes. I mean, what's a grown man to do?

Well, of course French Toast is one of the leading uniform suppliers, and with school uniforms all the rage again, it's not surprising that they've partnered with a retail giant to reach their customers.

This is the first time I've seen it in a superstore form but all the popular stores have sections, like Target and Wal-Mart.

Did anyone here ever wear a uniform to school? Do your children?

I did, through highschool.

Damn, did it ever make getting dressed in the morning easy. "Hrm.. should I wear the grey slacks and the white shirt, or the white shirt and the grey slacks?"

I had uniforms in high school, but the ones from grammar school were the absolute worst. Bright gold and blue pants. That's it. No variation. And, you had to get the "official" bright gold sold only at one store, located in the Sticks (tm), around Route 12, King Side Road.

So, I'd say it's actually a good thing.
