Knife-resistant jackets for Japanese schoolkids

Definitely incredibly handy in the rough-and-tumble schools of Tokyo (where we hear they're forcing students to fight each other in massive battle royales and teachers live in fear of knife-wielding kogaru girls), a company called Madre just introduced a new a line of kid-sized knife-resistant sweatshirts and coats. The sweatshirt alone costs almost four hundred bucks, money which might be better spent buying off your youngster's many enemies.
