{"product_id":"cream-and-navy-seifuku-set-azuki","title":"Cream and Navy Seifuku Set 'Azuki'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCream long-sleeved or white short-sleeved sailor top with a bordeaux bow, navy skirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne set, two terms. The winter top is cream with long sleeves; the summer top is white with short sleeves; both have a navy sailor collar edged in white stripes and a bordeaux bow at the chest, and both sit over the same navy skirt in knife pleats to mid-thigh. You choose the season when you order, and the skirt is the same in either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCream is the softer of the two, warmer against the skin and kinder in a photograph. White is the sharper, and the short sleeve is the one for July. The bordeaux bow is the same on both and reads deeper than a bright red, which is the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Azuki, is the red bean, the deep wine-red of the sweet paste in Japanese pastry, and the bow is that colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bow is a separate piece, fastened at the collar, so it can come off. The cloth is a polyester blend, firmly woven with a dry, matte hand, chosen because a uniform must hold a pleat, keep a collar flat and survive a term of washing, and this one does all three. It washes cold, hangs, and the pleats come back on the hanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it as a set with white high socks and black lace-up shoes, or the top alone over jeans with the bow off; the cream one makes a good blouse, the white one a good summer shirt. The navy skirt alone goes with anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collar lies flat and wide, the cuffs on the long sleeve are striped, and the skirt sits on a flat band with knife pleats all turned one way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a street it is a pale top with a navy collar and a dark red bow over a navy skirt. From close the stripes are three, the bow shows its wine, and the pleats are even. It is the sailor set in the most classic colours, with a choice of sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skirt sits at mid-thigh in both versions and the top is cropped to the waist. With white socks and lace-up shoes it is the uniform; with the bow off and a cardigan over it, it is a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cream is a warm one, closer to ivory than to beige, and the navy of the collar and the skirt are the same dye. The bordeaux bow is the same on both tops, so the two versions read as the same set in two seasons, which they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from S to XXL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"Long sleeve skirt \/ S","offer_id":59207749534044,"sku":"14:173#Long sleeve skirt;5:100014064","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long sleeve skirt \/ M","offer_id":59207749566812,"sku":"14:173#Long sleeve skirt;5:361386","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long sleeve skirt \/ L","offer_id":59207749599580,"sku":"14:173#Long sleeve skirt;5:361385","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long sleeve skirt \/ XL","offer_id":59207749632348,"sku":"14:173#Long sleeve skirt;5:100014065","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long sleeve skirt \/ XXL","offer_id":59207749665116,"sku":"14:173#Long sleeve skirt;5:4182","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short sleeve skirt \/ S","offer_id":59207749697884,"sku":"14:771#Short sleeve skirt;5:100014064","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short sleeve skirt \/ M","offer_id":59207749730652,"sku":"14:771#Short sleeve skirt;5:361386","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short sleeve skirt \/ L","offer_id":59207749763420,"sku":"14:771#Short sleeve skirt;5:361385","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short sleeve skirt \/ XL","offer_id":59207749796188,"sku":"14:771#Short sleeve skirt;5:100014065","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Short sleeve skirt \/ XXL","offer_id":59207749828956,"sku":"14:771#Short sleeve skirt;5:4182","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/cream-and-navy-seifuku-set-azuki-1.jpg?v=1790580961","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/cream-and-navy-seifuku-set-azuki","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
