DescriptionHeathered dark gray wool blazer, with a patch pocket over the proper left breast and a patch pocket over each hip. The breast pocket is machine-embroidered in orange with "Oxford School" over a design in white, yellow, and blue of an open book picturing a laurel wreath and a harp; at the bottom of the design is an undulating ribbon reading "VINCIT QUI SE VINCIT". The blazer closes at center front with three gold-tone ferrous metal buttons emblazoned with a shield with a rampant lion design. Two smaller buttons of the same design are stitched at the outside wrist of each sleeve. The blazer is lined with blue synthetic fabric (probably acetate).
