There are four more on each cuff and a length of woven, brown cording affixed on either side of its collar. A short piece of white and red ribbon bearing the words "PLZEŇ - V. ŽUPA PLZEŇSKÁ" is sewn on the right side of the front. A black label sewn on the right breast pocket reads, "Josef Viták Plzeň". The matching pants have a button fly and one wide hook and eye closure at the waistband. The lower half of legs is fitted while top balloons out. A pair of black pleather leggings with white lining covers the fitted lower half of the pantlegs. The uniform is finished with a black wool hat that has a smooth top edge. Nine lines of stitching encircle the top edge. A red ribbon gathered into a circle and pinned with a Sokol pin lies on the left side of the hat. The pin is gold and cut into the letters of the Sokol logo. Two short feathers are affixed behind the circle of fabric. The words "Zenisek USA" are handwritten on the leather lining.
