A narrow band of dark blue and bright orange cross-stitching runs around the center of each sleeve. The cuffs are finished with the same threading.

The woolen vest is also white with green velour across its bottom and up both sides of its front opening. The velour also runs around its neck and decorates its pocket covers. Short lengths of wide, red cording accent the covers while a narrow version of the cording lines the rest of the velour on one side, red edging on the other. Dark blue shoestrings decorated with multi-colored embroidery and buttons are sewn on the center of the vest's front side. There is a small embroidered design beneath and larger designs above it. The bottom of the back side and the arms are edged in black. The kroj's white rubac is decorated with dark and light blue geometric embroidery around its bodice.
