Davidson Day families have three options for uniform purchases:

1. Families can buy uniform tops and bottoms from Old Navy, Gap, Target, or other general uniform suppliers. PromoThreads in Cornelius can add the Davidson Day logo to uniform tops. This company has our official school logo on file, and they do a great job. Click here to visit PromoThreads.
2. The second option is to use our online school uniform store with Land's End using school program code 900044561. They will add the school logo to your uniform order. Please note: orders from Land's End tend to take a bit longer, so be sure to allow for more time for your orders. Click here to visit Land's End.
3. Every summer, Davidson Day hosts a Vintage Uniform Sale. Families donate uniform pieces that no longer fit their student. This year's Vintage Uniform Sale runs from July 13th through August 18th, and each item will be priced at $5.
