Brunnhold Uniforms

Brunnhold University Dress Code

Brunnhold uniforms are differentiated both by Lower and Upper Form status as well as by gender.

Lower Form Uniforms

Simple, easy uniforms of acceptable greens are worn by Lower Form students from the age of ten until fifteen, though even the youngest of students can wear clothing from their personal wardrobes outside of class times and on the nines and tens of the week when there are no classes at all.

Boys' lower form clothing consists of trousers, an undershirt, and a belted overcoat. In the summer months, a vest may be worn instead of the long-sleeved wool coat. Caps are expected for outdoor activities such as classes taking place in the Cloister or on the Field of Practical Application and during all physical education classes. Caps are not to be worn indoors, especially not in the Church of the Moon.

Girls' lower form clothing consists of tights, an undershirt, and a pinafore dress with a scalloped collar. In the summer months, a short-sleeved undershirt is available.

Hair for all children is expected to be well-cared for and clean. Lower Form uniforms are passed between students on a fairly regular basis—kept clean by Gated passives for a large number of growing young galdori, it is not uncommon to hand down uniforms to younger students not out of thriftiness on the part of galdorkind but simply to preserve well-respected craftsmanship.

Upper Form Uniforms

Upon choosing their focus and entering the Upper Form level of education, Brunnhold student uniforms change as well.

Young men are expected to wear trousers, undershirts, and coats throughout the school day, regardless of their class schedule. All buttons of the coat are expected to be buttoned, cuffs maintained, and belts properly fitting. In the colder months, a cape is available for extra warmth. Spats are never optional, considered a utilitarian and important part of the uniform. Caps are, however, optional regardless of the time of year but may not be worn in class or inside the Church of the Moon at any time.

A dirty or improperly worn uniform will earn the young galdor a demerit. Continued impropriety even between classes will most likely lead to detention.

Much like the Seventen, the collar of an upper form coat can be used for identifying pins—dueling league students, athletes, and other student organizations often make use of collar real estate with decorative announcements of the student's participation and rank in those things.

Hair for young men is expected to be well-kept, though there are no restrictions on length or style save for current fashion trends of the moment. Facial hair is allowed as young men mature, but it is always expected to be fashionably groomed. Jewelry is not generally considered acceptable among Anaxi men, though the younger generation has generally pushed the lines with this. Galdori of both genders are expected to separate themselves from wicks and humans by their dress.

Young women upon entering their last half of Brunnhold education continue to wear hose or tights, a pinafore dress, and a shirt underneath. A wide sash belt and spats over sensible shoes round out their uniform. Clothing is expected to be well-kept and properly worn—trousers are not a part of Anaxi uniforms for young women unless they are participants in any particular athletics organization. In the colder months, a capelet is available for extra warmth. Caps are allowed to be worn by women, though, just like young men, they are not to be worn in class or inside the Church of the Moon.

Dirty or improperly worn uniforms will be addressed sternly with a demerit first and detention for continued disobedience.

While not as common as among young men, those female students who participate in dueling league, athletics, and other student organizations also make use of their collars as a place to display pins or badges that identify their rank or level of accomplishment within those activities.

Hair for young women is expected to be fashionable and well-kept, though there is no restriction on length. Jewelry is to be kept to a minimum and while makeup is not forbidden, it is definitely considered proper form to keep to a minimum during the week and in classes.

Coming soon.

Gated Passive Uniforms

The uniform that gated passives at Brunnhold wear is a much simpler and utilitarian version of the uniforms that the galdori students wear. It consists of:

an indigo blue, long-sleeved button-up dress shirt
an ankle-length straight skirt (for females) or creased pants (for males), in indigo blue, made of denim
a pale blue sleeveless pinafore (for females) or a pale blue apron (for both sexes)
an indigo waist sash (for females) or suspenders (for males)
black ankle boots with no more than a one-inch heel, though flat shoes are the most common
One single-breasted indigo blue overcoat to wear when doing outside tasks in the winter, along with leather gloves and a knit hat.

Passives are given 3 uniforms, to be washed and replaced as needed. Underwear, socks, and brassieres are also provided as necessary, in white. Many passives choose to have sleepwear of their own, but for those who choose to use the uniform sleepwear, it's a very set of pajamas in powder blue, with long pants and both long-sleeved and short-sleeved options for shirts. Female passives are allowed to wear nightgowns, but they must have long sleeves and be below knee-length.

Gated passives are allowed to have one personal set of clothing.
