uniform

First of all, thanks again to Emrys for the use of her scans!

And now on to the good stuff... Jadeite's uniform! Each of the shitennou has a color that adorns their uniform. Kunzite has blue, Zoicite has green, Nephrite has yellow (I always get Zoicite and Nephrite mixed up, so if I have it backwards, e-mail me and I'll fix it!) and finally, Jadeite had red, as you can see at left.

Red if traditionally the color of fire, meaning a passionate, impulsive personality with a quick temper, but can also be quite methodical.

For the uniform itself, it is made of a grey-blue material, with the red (or other colors) showing up in the piping on the jacket and the stripe down the side of the pants. Unfortunately I don't have a full-body pic to illustrate, sorry!
The jacket had a stand-up, mandarin style color, like Navy dress whites, and a fold over flap that fastens on his right. There is, for a button, a small stone that matches the color of the piping.

     Also, there are stone epaulets on the shoulders that match the piping.
      While serving Beryl, Jadeite does not have a cape; after he (and the other shitennou) are healed and serving Endymion once again, they all have capes, and the epaulets now actually serve a purpose!
      Jadeite also wears shiny, knee-high black leather boots, which his trousers are tucked into. The only shitennou not to do this is Kunzite, whose trousers remain untucked.
