The Tier 4 specialist's answer to the corporate uniform — not a rebellion, but a negotiation. The trousers are Vanthorpe's own selvedge-weave wool-analog in deep charcoal, cut with a slightly higher rise and a subtly wider leg than regulation, landing exactly within the acceptable deviation window that every Tier 4 employee has memorized. The shirt is a Vanthorpe Coolweave in pale cream rather than the standard-issue blue, the collar structured without being stiff, the fabric visibly better — it drapes rather than sits. Over it goes a single-breasted blazer in a dark slate herringbone, not issued but purchased, with a half-lining in a deep copper-rust that flashes only when the wearer reaches for something. The left sleeve has a discreet aug-channel seam running from elbow to cuff, accommodating a chrome forearm prosthetic with a clean, unobtrusive split that closes magnetically when not needed. Footwear is a pair of Sorel & Vane cap-toe oxfords in oxblood, resoled once and better for it. A slim brushed-titanium BCI port cover at the right temple, matching the blazer buttons. No lanyard. Badge is embedded.
