1953? Why 1953? Well…sounded like an old enough year…but more to the point a more realistic year for any school (in Ireland or anywhere other than Japan) to be using the iconic sailor-suit uniform.

Honestly, I don’t know if this was every really done in Ireland, but I needed an alternative to the horrendous polyester V-Neck Hogwarts uniform that’s standard in most Irish and British schools now. The sailor-suit seemed like a suitable alternative…especially since manga is full of such material.
