When i was younger my folks had no money and we were essentially homeless for a time, they did what they could for us and we always had decent clean clothes. Instead of Nike trackies etc I got championsport or arrow trainers etc, I liked it but was teased mercilessly by people at school because I didnt have a berghaus meerapeak or cat boots etc, but tbh I was happy and new how much my folls scrimped and saved to give us everything we needed and tbh having two loving parents who werent materialistic arseholes was pretty good. Now the folks who gave me a hard time are mostly jakeballs who spent that much time being p***ks at school they couldnt get a decent job and now can’t spend that on clothes now. Long story short, uniform coats are a good idea, every kid should be equal at school. I still dont spend fortunes on clothes, my most extravagant purchase ever was a hugo boss suit that I used for job interviews etc.
