FAQ

Why does Fraylich recommend that orders should be placed at least a month before the start of the school year?

Our full stock of sizes are at a high during June and July as opposed to August and September.

We experience heavier order volumes come back to school time and we can't ship as quickly.

In the case that you need to exchange for a different size, it's best to have the time to do so.

Within the 30 days, can I return or exchange an item for a different size in person to the Brooklyn store? Or do we need to ship it?

You may bring it in to the Brooklyn store along with the packing slip and we will help you.

Can I exchange or return to Fraylich of Lakewood?

How many uniforms do I need to buy?

It depends how often you do laundry, and your financial situation, the average would be 4 blouses and 3 Jumpers / skirts.

Should I buy the polyester or poly wool blend skirt?

The poly wool blend skirt will hold the pleats nicer and longer than the all poly skirt, therefore for elementary we recommend the polyester as the children will outgrow it before you can see the difference.

For high school we recommend the poly wool blend, as many children stay in the same size for more than the year.

For seminary we recommend the polyester as its only for one year and for Israel the lighter weight skirt is more weather appropriate.

How do I ensure that the uniform will fit for the full school year?

We recommend that you think big when shopping for back to school, keep in mind the entire year of growth, when it's a bit big in the beginning of the year it will be perfect mid year and a bit small at year end.
