About Skobel’s
More Than Uniforms—A Partner in Education
How It Started
Skobel’s
Nancy & Joanie started Skobelj’s in Buras, Louisiana, in 1976. Skobelj’s is their family name in the original Croatian spelling. Skobelj’s originally sold men’s, women’s and children’s clothing of all types.
Eventually Skobelj’s became Skobel’s and transitioned into selling only school uniforms. Family and customer service were the focus and today this is still at the center of everything we do
Giving Back in
Education
Since 1976, Skobel’s has focused enormous effort on the growth of quality education. We understand that the future of our business is dependent on the success of the schools we support and outfit.
This is the very reason why we are so generous and contribute heavily to our partner schools. In the past 5 years, Skobel’s has proudly supported our partner schools by donating over $150,000.
Proven Values
At Skobel's we believe in value Students wear their uniforms a minimum of 180 days each school year. That includes over 1500 hours of school activities and extracurricular activities. This puts more wear and tear than any other clothing you will find in a child's closet.
Skobel's only uses durable high quality fabrics in order to save you time and money throughout the school year and beyond. Looking as great on the last day of school as your student did on the first day of school is one Skobel's goals.
