A dragon coils down the back, its scales layered in gold and its mane in lilac. At the front, a second dragon climbs the shoulder towards the collar.

Lilac blooms and gold flourishes rise along one trouser leg, front and back. Ornamental bands in gold and lilac finish the cuffs, the jacket hem and the trouser hems. Parallel purple lines run the length of the lapel, and the crest sits on the left chest and the left thigh.
