Superhero School Smock Robe

For painting and arts and crafts, a multicoloured gingham Superhero school smock with red bias binding and a red-caped hero flying between skyscrapers, for ages 4 to 10. The check pattern combines red, blue and yellow on white, so splashes of poster paint almost look like part of the design, helping put any parent at ease.

It covers the entire front and full-length sleeves, while the elasticated cuffs stay at the wrists when children dip their brushes right to the bottom of the pot. When they have finished, it unfastens at the front and their good T-shirt stays spotless.

The printed panel covers half the front: blue sky, tall buildings and a red-caped, masked superhero flying up from the cracked tarmac. The pocket, with red piping, sits on the checked side, while the red buttons fasten the centre.

Every superhero has a name: theirs can be embroidered on the chest, optional, in clearly visible lettering.
