Should I buy a size above my child’s measurements?

For pieces worn all term, yes, one size up after measuring; for snug occasion wear use today’s size.

Is LC Waikiki better than DeFacto for schoolwear?

Both work, and the choice is per item; compare fabric and washing instructions before deciding.

When should I order before school starts?

Several weeks ahead, because orders pile up in this season and the road route cannot make up delays.

Jordan Back-to-School Kids: LC Waikiki or DeFacto

Before the school year in Jordan, a family needs clothes that survive play and washing and can pass to a younger sibling. Order the basics for boys and girls in volume from LC Waikiki, and specific pieces with newer designs from DeFacto for anyone who cares about looks. Size for six months of growth, not for today.

Today’s size or this term’s size

A child grows fast between September and January, so a perfect fit today may last two months. Measure height and chest and pick the next size up for pieces worn all term, keeping the snug ones for occasions. For the coat, consider ordering two consecutive sizes, since it is the costliest and most important piece in an Amman winter.

Winter layers, not one coat

School in Jordan starts warm in autumn and turns cold in January and February, so layers work better than one heavy coat: a light wool knit, a removable jacket, then a coat when needed. This keeps the child from sweating in a heated classroom. Compare fabric blends and avoid wool pieces that itch some children.

Order early and ship once

A big pre-school order is late for everyone, and the road route to Jordan does not allow a quick recovery. Gather siblings into one basket, write each child’s name and size, and order well before school begins. If you miss a piece, place a second order instead of changing the first parcel.

How orders ship and arrive

Jordan is served by land through Syria or by sea to Aqaba depending on the shipment; Amman, Irbid and Zarqa get home delivery, and Aqaba is the entry point for bulkier shipments. There is no fixed published rate for Jordan; cost and schedule are confirmed before departure. Write your Jordan address with city, area, street, building number and a nearby landmark, plus the recipient name and an active phone number. Keep the seller invoices. Import requirements and duties are set by Jordan Customs.
