Answers to current FAQ:
- Appliqué on the Firefighter uniforms is the embroidery process of a professional embroidery machine sewing down fabric letters. The letters are first laid out and designed in a software program and creates files that can be read by the embroidery machine. Appliqué is how the real firefighter bunker gear is personalized for fire departments.
- We cannot change the uniforms to orange striping and lettering. The uniforms are already made. I do the authentic personalization of them to make them what they are.
- Accessories are sold on my website. www.littleherouniforms.com. There is a package set where you get a free customized embroidered gear bag if you are interested in the accessories.
- Turnouts or bunker gear are the common terms for the firefighting "uniform" that firefighters wear.
The sizing is based off these size specs:
2/3 (25-33 lbs, height 32-36”)
4/6 (32-50 lbs, height 35-44”)
6/8 (48-62 lbs, height 42-50”)
8/10 (54-86 lbs, height 48-56”)
12/14 (80-110 lbs, height 54-60")
**Please keep in mind that these specs are guidelines. The sizes are not indicative of age or standard sizing. The uniforms are costumes and may start out a little big if your child's specs are in the lower to mid of the ranges. While both are important factors, height is foremost as you don't want arm and leg length to be too short. If your child is at the upper end of the specs, I recommend ordering the next size up, but understand that this may result in a bigger fit to begin with. My goal is for your child to be able to wear their uniform longer than they would traditional-fitting clothing that needs to be replaced every couple of months. All children grow at different rates and it's hard to say what is "average". Some are heftier or taller than average and vice versa. If this is the case, the uniforms may not fit like you expect. Because each uniform is permanently personalized with a high attention to detail, THEY ARE NOT RETURNABLE if you are not happy with the size you choose. Too big to start is better than just right for a couple of months or too small. Please do not guess at your child's measurements or choose your sizing without reading this! We will not accept returns based on sizing. We rarely have a customer not happy with the fit if they have accurately measured their child and understand these are not tailor made, but instead a costume fit, which may mean big to start with.
