The Launch of New Uniforms by ID UNITED ARROWS for Salesians International School
In an exciting development for the educational landscape in Tokyo, the corporate uniform label ID UNITED ARROWS, part of United Arrows Co., Ltd., has crafted stylish and functional uniforms for the newly established International Class at Salesians International School (now known as Seibi Gakuen Elementary School). Set to debut in April 2026, these uniforms are meticulously designed to support the school's mission of fostering global awareness and cultural understanding among its students.
The Introduction of the International Class
Salesians International School, guided by Catholic values, is dedicated to nurturing sincere children who live honestly and joyously in front of God and humanity. Originally founded in 1947, the school will undergo a name change in 2026 to reflect its new focus on an International Class that promotes international educational understanding. This new curriculum, taught primarily in English by foreign educators, will provide students with an immersive English environment akin to those found in foreign countries.
Collaborative Design for a Global Future
In collaboration with UNIX TOKYO Inc., a company specializing in corporate uniforms, ID UNITED ARROWS has created uniforms that strike a balance between global representation and the developmental needs of elementary school students. The new designs will include various items such as winter clothes, summer clothes, and transitional outfits, all available for the incoming student cohort starting from April 2026.
Key Features of the Uniforms
The proposed uniforms showcase several noteworthy characteristics aimed at enhancing comfort and usability for young students:
- - Design Flexibility: The jackets feature slits at the cuffs, allowing for easy movement and adjustment as students grow. This innovation keeps comfort in mind while adding a fashionable design element.
- - Flexible Fastening: Instead of traditional buttons or zippers, the uniforms incorporate elastic materials. This choice facilitates ease of movement while minimizing pressure, making it safer and more comfortable for children, particularly during active play.
Color and Style Considerations
- - Emphasis on Diversity: The color palette for the jackets, trousers, and culottes is a soft, elegant brown that harmonizes with various skin tones, hair types, and cultural backgrounds. The jackets and shirts are designed to be unisex, allowing for customization to accommodate both male and female students.
- - Child-Friendly Design: The jackets feature a collarless design, while the shirts have a short collar, providing comfort and freedom of movement. The jackets are designed with a single button for a clean, sophisticated appearance. For girls, the uniform includes culottes to facilitate active play without restrictions.
Material and Durability
All garments will be made from a durable blend of 50% wool and 50% polyester, offering both functionality and ease of care, as they can be machine-washed at home. The shirts are crafted from 100% polyester, featuring anti-wrinkle, quick-dry, and durability properties that help maintain a neat and tidy appearance through everyday use.
The designs for summer and transitional wear (such as cardigans) are still under development. Precise details regarding colors, designs, and specifications may be subject to change without prior notice.
