Ninja School Gown

Navy gingham check with red binding for the Ninja school smock, featuring a ninja with a headband and his black cat beneath the full moon, for ages 4 to 10. Dark blue is one of the best colours for hiding stains, and with a ninja, that makes perfect sense.

Felt-tip pen, playground dirt, dining hall sauce: they barely show on navy, so the smock stays presentable until Friday. The red neck binding and matching buttons are the only touches of colour on the checked side.

The other half of the front is a purple night with cat paw prints, the ninja racing with his red scarf blowing in the wind and a yellow-eyed cat following stealthily behind. The pocket with red piping is on the gingham side.

The elasticated cuffs and the embroidered name on the chest, if requested, complete the ninja’s outfit.
