            Grey, two-button, single-breasted tailored jacket. It was part of the uniform for technical officials at the 2012 Paralympic Games. The jacket’s lapels and collar are trimmed with black binding, accented by a light blue edge, excluding the notch. The same piping detail forms the jetted edging on the two hip pocket flaps. A welted breast pocket on the left chest displays the London 2012 Paralympics logo in light blue, featuring the "agitos" symbol in place of the Olympic Rings.

            The lining is dark blue with a light blue print depicting iconic London landmarks such as Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the London Eye. These buildings are also embroidered into the felt under the collar. Comes with the original tag (in the Object File).

            Three-button tailored jacket featuring a Union Jack print in red, white, and blue cotton. It fastens with three black plastic buttons and has small lapels. The front includes two jetted pockets without flaps and a breast welt pocket on the left side. The front panels are aligned to create a central Union Jack pattern, while the back is constructed from two panels where the print does not match up, indicating budget-conscious manufacturing (original retail price: £29.99).

            The jacket has uneven black topstitching, further suggesting a lower manufacturing quality. The two-piece sleeves lack vents but include a single black button on each cuff. It is lined in black viscose and features one internal pocket on the right side.

            Cream silk brocade satin waistcoat with a shawl or roll collar, woven in cream and pale brown threads with a design of squiggles and a scattered floral and leaf motif in blue and white.

            The waistcoat is single-breasted, fastening at the centre front with seven small self-covered buttons and hand-worked buttonholes. It includes two horizontal welted pockets, lined with brown cotton silesia, and trimmed along the collar, fronts, and pocket welts with a fine round braid. The back panel is crafted from brown cotton silesia, featuring an adjustable waist with two wide tabs threaded with white linen tape through three pairs of metal eyelets. The bottom edge of the back panels curves gently into the centre back seam.
