Dragon School Coat

Dragon school smock for art classes, in a blue windowpane check with red binding and a huge-winged dragon facing a knight, for ages 4 to 10. The poster paint, glue and clay stay on the smock; the jumper underneath leaves class as it arrived.

The design

Half of the front is a full-colour panel: the blue dragon bares its teeth from above, a blond knight faces it with sword and shield, and red, green and purple gems fly through the air. The other half features a fine blue check with red buttons and a red-trimmed pocket.

The elasticated cuffs keep the sleeves pushed up while they work with their hands, and the front buttons let them take it off on their own once they have finished, even with their fingers still sticky.

Add the embroidered name on the chest, optional, so their dragon does not end up on another warrior’s peg.
